I purchased a buttload of navy items over the summer that I would love to transition into fall/winter. During the summer, I wore the skirts and blouses with a pair of navy high heeled Mary Janes and bare legs. For the fall/winter, I don’t know what to wear on the bottom. What color tights and…
I’m going through a divorce and at the same time my only son has left for college [thousands of miles away]. I know I am self-medicating with food and I need to do something about it but in the meantime my clothes don’t fit. I don’t want to spend a lot of money because A….

I heard of Karen Kane before I started blogging, it was a brand…
One of the biggest frustrations I hear from you readers is the lack of attractive suiting in plus sizes. Well ELOQUII (glad to have you back, we missed you!) must have heard such grumblings because this season they have launched a suiting line that isn’t frumpy, isnt’ dumpy, and has reasonable prices! ELOQUII’s suiting collection…
A bit ago, a reader asked me about a pair of shoes I wore in an Instagram photo (I share far more outfits over there than here so come on over and follow!) and I realized I haven’t shared bits of my closet lately, or recent purchases. This summer has been atypical thanks to this…
