Fashion is not Just about Clothes...It's about Confidence and Self Expression

What's Up with the Name?




While scanning thru vintage photos of family, I discovered some wonderful pics of my grandmother. When she and my grandfather were dating, she would take snapshots of herself in great outfits and send them to him during WWII. (see some of the pics and read more about her along with the other amazing women who all had a hand in my passion in the post "How it All Began") She always wrote a sweet message and signed the back "all my love, Myra". The very best part is that these were not just pictures, they were a glimpse into her playful side and who she was at the time. I realized she also shared my love for fashion...it was a great discovery!

Lets Talk About Shoes

While out shopping this time of year (especially with the "Easter" attire everywhere) it got me thinking. Many women wonder "what time of year can I start wearing white shoes?" I've always wanted to answer with a "NEVER". Unless you are wearing athletic shoes (and even then there are so many colorful alternatives) white shoes should not be an option.


Instead, go for a nude shoe. There are many shades of nude, believe it or not.....SOOO be sure your nude shoe matches (or comes close) to your skin color.

The whole point of a nude shoe is to LENGTHEN your legs. Your shoe "disappears" and gives the illusion of a longer, leaner leg.



Another great alternative is a metallic shoe. The softer, more muted, metallic is gorgeous! Stay away from bright or shiny...which makes the shoe look cheap.


So, unless your 12 or under.....and going for that adorable, patten, white, mary jane......stay away from the white shoe.
Just a thought!
