More Fun Fashion

Blues and black go together so well, I think it's because black makes blue pop out.  I don't usually see things like this when I am wearing it, but when I see it in a picture it makes sense to pair them together.  I don't consider myself a fashionista, just a person who likes color and clothes.  I have learned over the years, by watching and reading, how to pair things together and wear them.  Now, if I see an outfit in a store or on someone and it's not my style, too trendy or too young but I love the colors, I will put together my outfit just using the colors.  

I always try to look my best when I go out in public and dress appropriately.  You don't ever have to look your age, but wearing a mini skirt when you're in you're late 50's or 60's is not cool, I don't care how in shape you are, leave it for the younger set and lower your hemline! Rock a leather jacket instead of the mini skirt! Listen, you don't have to look frumpy when you are in the upper ages, just have great style and a sense of what looks good on you.

Fashion Forward with Coupons!


Lets talk about fashion.  I never believed that fashion is what is in style. What I believe is, fashion is what looks good on you.  If a mini skirt looks good on my 18 year old, it certainly will not look good on me.  I try to pick pieces that will hold on for awhile, not trendy, or pieces that I can  pair with something else later as fashion changes. As I have said before, shop with coupons, don't be afraid to use them or embarrassed to use them, you will save money and lots of it.  Most stores that I shop email or mail me coupons to use.

The Fashion Plate

Yes that's me!  I must have been about 4 or 5 years old in this picture and it is the very early 1960's.  As you can see, I was fashionable back then.  I have my beret on, heels and my clutch bag which were very popular then.  If you look closely I even have my gloves in my clutch.  Every classy lady wore her gloves back in those days.  Oh yeah, I was a fashion plate!  And, I still love clothes.....


I put this outfit together to wear to dinner and a movie:
Navy blue and white polka dot top w/navy cami $34.99 - Avenue
White skinny jeans $18.99 - WalMart
Navy and white sandals $24.99 - Marshalls
Handbag $14.99 - Dress Barn
Necklace and earring set $5.99 - Gabriel Brothers
Bracelet $7.50 - Avenue


I love, love, love animal prints they never go out of style.
 I picked this raincoat up at KMart for $10.00!  It was on a clearance rack and originally priced at $49.99.  Always, always check clearance racks first, the best bargains are there.  I never pay full price for anything.  The scarf was brand new, still in the package, and I paid $5.00 for it at Rice's Flea Market.


I put this outfit together to go to the grocery store.  
White Jean Jacket $24.99 - Avenue
Purple print embellished neck bubble top $3.00 - WalMart (that's right 3 bucks!)
Denim skinny jeans $8.00 - WalMart
Black patent t-strap wedgies $24.99 - Marshalls
Purple beaded earrings and bracelet  $19.00 - Kohl's 


As I said before, I never pay full price for anything.  Whether it be items for the house, the car, clothing or whatever has to be purchased.  Check clearance first.  All stores have clearance racks.  If you find anything minor wrong with your items always ask for more of a discount.  Here is a famous quote from my mother "you don't get what you don't ask for".
