It's Not About The Money

Fashion is expensive, Style isn't: 

Some of the most stylish girls I know are certainly not the wealthiest.  Ironically, it's ofter the girls with less money who seem to understand style the best.  Maybe it's because they are forced to be picky and can't slavishly follow the trends.  Maybe it's because they have perfected the art of mixing their more expensive items with their cheaper finds.  Or maybe it's because they know where to splurge and where to save.


Cheap Thrills:

  • White Hanest T-Shirts:  Laid back and great for mixing.  Best when taken from your boyfriend's or husband's drawer
  • L.L. Bean Tote:  Simple, chic, and functional
  • A White Button Up:  Will go with anything
  • Khaki Pants:  Perfectly classic. Just don't go pleated
  • Vintage Pieces:  Cheapest when taken from your mother's closet

Can a Woman have too may pairs of shoes? I think not.  However, you can't afford everything, so here is some advice to help you choose what to put in your closet and what to just lust after in the shop.

Boots High top boots for winter is an essential part of your wardrobe and it's easy to dress up or down.  Make sure the length finishes just below your knee.  Any high could look trashy and any lower will make y

Being a Strong Woman

What do you call a Strong Woman? "Who's Back Do You Stand On"             A sister, mother, aunt, cousin, business owner, nurse, doctor, housewife, nanny, and so many many other names.  Do you know who came before you to pave the way so that you wouldn't have to go through drama of being told your just a woman and you ain't capable of being a success.  Tell me who's back do you stand on is it the mother or grandmother that stood in the gap for you.  The one who took the verbal abuse or physical abuse so that you wouldn't have to.  Or is it the woman who deserve to be the CEO of the company but took the back seat to the man that wasn't even half as qualified as she was to hold the CEO position.  Who's back do you stand on? The woman who's the housewife that never gets credit for raising our future President.  Maybe, it the little old lady that welcomes you to the Wal-Mart and she has to be there because that's her only choose.  Could it be
