So my mom and I were talking fashion the other day and something she said resonated with me.  She mentioned how no one really dressed beautifully anymore like in the 50s when women wore dresses and pearls and men wore business suits and ties.  Being young, I never really noticed this before but I would…

Does anyone else take a break from buying clothing during the year?  I do.  As I wear uniforms to school, I don’t need as much weekend style clothing to get me through the school year (when I wrote that I had the strangest thought of Nacho Libre saying “These are my leisure clothes.”)  Also, there…

Stylish Play Clothes Finding clothing that is stylish but still allows for running, jumping, and climbing is the holy grail for tween girls. I know from experience. It’s like clothing designers decided that we are too old for childlike exuberance and should be dressing to attract attention. They are wrong of course. We tweens are…

One of the most annoying things about today’s latest fashion trends (i.e. leggings, maxi skirts, and dresses), is that everything lacks pockets. Where are we supposed to carry our phones, cards, and chap stick? I know I could carry a purse or clutch, but there are times when you want your arms to be free….
