FASHION RESTYLING// fashion

RESTYLE - A SIMPLE THING

I recently wrote a post about fashion and the environment , and I am sure a lot of readers wondered

its strange , a fashion blogger that is writing about environment. But it was more a information

and understanding where and how the fashions we wear are produced and the effects.

Then I thought of my mom and things she talked about or would wear. YES my mom loved clothes!

She was stylish but classic.
She wore matching purses and shoes, gloves and matching pantsuits, dress sets.

But she also was good at changing a dress or outfit by having it restyled.

Something like a long floral party dress, she had it shortened and wore it as a summer outfit. Or she took a crochet style dress with a shawl and had the shawl made into sleeves for the dress.

These are just a few of the REStyling things she would do.

So her idea to restyle an outfit had an influence on me. It is true our moms have a big influence on ones style, at least my mom did on mine. I do like matching suits, or pantsuits for the polished finished look. But more is how learned to restyle a piece of clothing. I would take a blazer and change small things -like remove the shoulder pads and change the buttons, A simple navy blazer would get gold buttons. A black velvet trimmed with some gold . A coat or jacket added a faux fur collar. A plain denim piece added leather trim. The ideas are endless.

A FEW RESTYLE INSPIRATIONS

LACEY IDEA ; A simple knit you can change the look with lace

CLASSIC BLACK a black top by adding pearl details & shirt

A simple alteration can change an outfit completely. If the item is a well made and a stylish piece

why not ? Restyling or altering a piece of clothes is also a way we can change our wardrobe.

I am sure many of you have taken a pair of jeans and made them into to shorts.

So basically you can try restyling other pieces in your wardrobe.

So have you restyled any items?
Share your look or idea .

A restyle challenge, I would love to read or hear

about your new look or ideas.

Flying high // travel

B Time to Fly Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience. So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada . And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines. I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned and I won’t be booking any trips with them! Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs that should be included , NOT an extra expense. Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees then read this report via BBC. Truthfully people need to tell these companies NO . Even a handbag is next to the list. They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

Keeping Warm - Fashion Style

POP of COLOR Yes it is something we all want need. Keeping warm in the cold winter months. One of favorite knit top has been my steady Look. The fact it has a large cowl neck collar that I pull up over my face when it’s windy outside. It is comfortable and feels cozy . The color is vibrant on those dull dreary days . A pop of color is nice to see during the winter season when mostly black seems to be the color of choice. The Accessories . I love to add a few accessories also. Bracelets add a little interest to the look . The three sterling silver bangles worn over sleeve looks good , as well as the multi twist bracelet. Ps The photo does not show the true color . It’s a very vibrant blue shade . Looks dull . After a few retakes no change. Camera issues.
