Clutter Proof Your Handbag

We spend a lot of money on our prized possession…our handbags.  Admit it.  When you see the latest handbag you love in the store, you can’t catch the drool at the corner of your mouth fast enough.  Your eyes glaze over, your breathing stops, your heartbeat skips and the endorphins flood your body as you slowly circle the counter to claim it as yours.

Bright Summer Pieces Remedy Fashion Blues

To be honest, I’m in a bit of a fashion rut & not much is inspiring me to claw my way out.  Not even much of the couture.  What brightened my closet is a find at TJMaxx during a Texas summer thunderstorm.  I ran in for a quick return when sheets of rain started pouring down.  One hour later, the deluge finally stopped, and I had my new favorite summer blouse.  A beautiful, bright blue, simple, cotton top with large, flutter or bell sleeves.  Easy to dress up or dress down…fun, simple, sophisticated & bright.  I would wear it everyday if I could.

Using Color to Keep Your Wardrobe Current

Keeping your wardrobe current doesn’t have to be expensive, difficult or time consuming.  With many of us making a conscience decision to extensively edit our wardrobes it might be helpful to know that color can be a way to inject some “freshness” each season.  The retailers do such a good job at making us feel like we “need it all” that it is really tempting to purchase an all-new wardrobe every three months.  While this may sound fun to some, in reality we don’t have the time, energy or funds to keep it up for very long.  One way to ...
