THE BIG CHILL

STYLISH EVEN IF FREEZING It has been unbelievably cold here and it makes one want to only stay under the covers. But such is not life. So what to wear when  it is so chilly out?

I have one go to thing I love to wear when the weather is colder, its usually a knit. A sweater dress are the best idea for such chilly times. A longer length version is the best  and a nice pair of knee high boots  add a lot to the look.

This dress is a good choice because it has so many shades,  one can change purs...

Why? Well  I think it is really important to let other women see and know that they are important and can be fashionable and stylish too. It is  important for the younger girls to know not all models are XS or look like the photos in the  magazines. . LIVING IN A CITY THAT WAS NOT A FASHION HUB ( LIKE NEW YORK) I still loved the idea wearing something unique. From my white leather boots and coat or a pair of floral embroidered boots, or a red pleather skirt set. Well I  think you know what I mean. Those things are now the fashion  trends of today- white boots, floral boots and red is everywhere. ...
