Great Idea

How many of us repair our clothes? Okay sewing on a button or stitching a hem is small.

I can recall my mother had a love for clothing. But sometimes she would get her pieces altered. Take a long dress and get it shorten. Making it more useful to wear more often. She actually did this with many of her pieces. Just a simple restyling and she get more use of her clothes.

A very good idea to alter one’s wardrobe. Take pieces to a seamstress is worth it.

Now it seems France has started a program to get people to repair their clothes rather than throw out. Offering money towards cost of. The reason for doing this is keep more clothes out of the landfills . Reduce waste and helping the environment. Good idea!

Doing Denim I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable. For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short. I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days. Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it. Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets. There are so many ways to style a denim dress. A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck.

SPRING LOOK //Fashion , Style, Spring

Time for some color Finally the weather is warmer and can wear lighter clothes. I especially like to start the summer/spring with some color . One of my favorites is a colorful knit on I bought years ago , a Liz Clairborn design. It’s a piece that just say spring is here. After a long , cold winter of wearing mostly dark or muted shades it’s nice to bring out something bright a cheery.
