Leslie, I have been following your dressing advice for several years now and I thought you would like to know that this 61 year old grandmother received the best compliment this past Sunday at church.  One of the ladies at church said hello to me, asked me how I was doing and then said, "Bonnie, you look like a young girl!"  I was wearing a black pencil skirt (just below the knee - I'm a "C"), black flats, a black short sleeve tee with a long tan 3/4 sleeve sweater.  I am a Spring and well aware that black near my face is not the most flattering for me so I wore a teal statement necklace and medium gold/teal hoops. The teal, gold & tan complimented my Spring complexion and kept the black tee from causing me to pale out.  My makeup was still in the Spring color range.
 
Since I started dressing the Missussmartypants way, people are surprised to know that I really weigh 170 lbs.  One lady even commented that she thought I was in the 130-ish lb. range. My 29 year old daughter recently said to me, "I didn't think the time would ever come that I would be interested in my mother's clothes".  She even recently borrowed that black pencil skirt of mine to wear to a wedding!  I receive compliments often on my complexion, when it's really the color of the makeup and clothes that are so flattering.  Thank you for helping me age gracefully!

For The Love Of Scarves

Want an instantly chic look but don't want to over-extend your budget? The answer to your dressing dilemma is to pull out a scarf you hardly ever wear!

There's more to scarves than just throwing an infinity scarf around your neck...although they are pretty cool in there own right for adding a bit of style and color to your outfit.

Scarves can be tied so many different ways, you'd be crazy not to explore a few new ways you can wear the ones you already own!

I still get requested for how I tied this scarf (especially when I'm wearing it!). Here the step-by-step guide scarf tying guide

It's been a bit cool in the mornings and wearing all gray seemed, well a bit dreary and gray...so I popped on this red floral scarf to add some color AND instant style!


Will you join me and wear more scarves this season?

5 Steps To The Perfectly Layered Outfit

Fall has arrived! The mornings are cooler now...making it necessary to grab a sweater (or lightweight jacket) before heading out the door. It's a refreshing change to feel the cool, crisp air and behold the trees ablaze with brilliant autumn color! Fall also means the return to dressing in layers. Grabbing more than a sweater and layering on a few light layers makes every woman look pulled together. When an outfit is well layered, it's always a fabulous fall look.

Fall is about wearing pretty sweaters to stay warm. Of course eating anything pumpkin and "comfort foods" like homemade soups and stews make fall special too. But when it comes to choosing what to wear, you want to choose layers. Layers can be worn in a multiple of creative ways and they create a multitude of outfits using only a few pieces. However one BIG word of caution...Layering can be two things: done right OR look lumpy and frumpy!
