This website is the ultimate dress-up game, wow! I love fashion, old movies, and reading, all of which lends to deriving a lot of satisfaction out of combing through pages of handbags and shoes so ecstatically, I skimp on such necessities as food and sleep.
Snowy conditions call for some serious prep if you want to reach work looking great without freezing. Start with a chic, fuss-free work outfit that can be covered up with a heavy-duty, waist-defining puffer. Fleeze-lined tights tucked into shearling-lined boots get you to work, and heeled flats carry you through the day (and a big, chic carry-all means you can take the flats with you). Keep the accessories to a minimum, and you can stay warm without sacrificing fashion!
There are moments that I really yearn for some glamour in 21st Century living - at which point, fantasy kicks in!
For that fantastical, over-the-top New Year's Eve bash, nothing but a fancy-schmany dress will do, and this one is a gem! Seamed tights, platform pumps, a vintage-style faux fur coat, and opera gloves really kick up the glamour-factor! Finish off with a handy wristlet, and choose one or two elaborate cocktail rings - no other jewelry required!
For me, December is that month where summer seems farthest away, and the cold has really settled in. My fantasy outfit includes the snuggliest sweater dress in existence topped by a gorgeous scarf, colorful sweater tights, and the hidden delight of a knock-out slip underneath everything. And, depending on where I'm going in this fictitious outfit, flat boots or rugged heels both work - just so long as they're extremely warm. Finish with a statement-making puffer and a very practical bag (to carry books to and from home and coffee shops for hot mugs of spiced apple cider), and I'd be ready to put aside my grumblings about the cold for a day or two.
The American Princess - a style so classic, clean, and lovely that it continues to impact fashion today. Start with a dress of superb materials, cut, and color - something unique but understated - and top off with killer shoes in the same color family as the dress, a classic bag, and a camel coat - the more it reminds you of the one Kelly wore in "Dial M for Murder", the better. Stick with a single piece of jewelry for authenticity.
