AUGUST 2021 – SIX SCARVES, 12 MONTHS, 12 OUTFITS

August 2021 – Six Scarves, 12 Months, 12 Outfits

The Echo scarf company was so impressed by how many of you commented on the post on which they gave away a scarf that they have extended a 20% discount to ALL OF US for the next 2 weeks... Use code TVF20 to get 20% off of anything on their site: www.echonewyork.com

I'm sure I can find something I will adore...

Better late than never!

I was thinking that we could look at some nice "back to the office" outfits for autumn... but then I started reading my email, and I quickly realized that a lot of people were back in their office LITERALLY once or twice, and are back to working from home!

And they're sort of aghast...

So let's treat ourselves to some soft, comfy, but pretty new sweatshirts and sweatpants, as ... View the Post

OCTOBER 2020 SIX SCARVES, TWELVE MONTHS, TWELVE OUTFITS

October 2020 Six Scarves, Twelve Months, Twelve Outfits

October 2, 2020

This month, I'm concentrating again on more casual, warm clothes. This year, we need to stay home much of the time, and if we're smart we're going to try to avoid running the heat 24/7... With computers running all day, and people around our home, we should be able to stay warm without consuming tons and tons of fuel, right?

Another year, we're going to be REALLY REALLY dressy...

I have to say this: if you're in love with that really plush, fluffy, poodle-fabric that's so common now in jackets and tops, please don't launder these garments very often, and when you do, use a fiber-catcher of some sort. Those garments feel like wearing a cloud, but that fabric sheds tiny micro-fibers that pollute water, gather in ... View the Post

START WITH ART: BUILDING A TRAVEL CAPSULE WARDROBE BASED ON THE PLUM GARDEN AT THE KAMEIDO SHRINE BY UTAGAWA HIROSHIGE

I've received some requests to add accent colors to grey - I'm always happy to try to oblige!

ROAD TRIP!!! Yes, they're going to visit a BUNCH of gardens... For about 2 weeks or so! They're going to rent a camper (oh my...) and go to all of the places they've talked about visiting for years.

It's quite casual - touring these gardens doesn't require getting dressy! But she loves her color palette so...

She's going to stick with her core of grey garments, and then add 2 clusters of color...

She packs some warm teal tops, and then decides to include her tee shirt with floral prints... Why not?

Her coral garments vary from very soft and pastel to deep, almost rust. And she decides to pack a ... View the Post

Yes, these are indeed a day early - I'm going to try this Monday, Wednesday and Friday posting schedule for a while to see if I can regain my strength and energy. If anything is going to be energizing AND exhausting at the same time, it's these posts!

Yes, more sweatshirts. I'm determined that I'm going to write about how many of us are dressing. Everybody that I talk to regularly agrees that they're NOT going back to their office this fall - almost certainly not until Spring of 2021. So we're working from home, and we're staying warm in the cooler weather, and trying to keep our utility bills down...

And a nice sweatshirt is a wonderful thing!

Also, I'm smitten with corduroy pants - so everybody's getting cords ... View the Post

Grab your beverage of choice and make yourself comfortable; this is a BIG post! From here on, every "first of the month" post will have 42 images... My computer whimpers at the very sight of this file...

Normally, August has been a month in which we started preparing to get back to work, and savor the beauty of fall clothing. Many years, this has meant a blouse, cardigan and skirt, with appropriate accessories.

But this year, I'm going to be realistic, and address the life that most of us are living, and will be living probably until next Spring. This, to me, means jeans, a sweatshirt, and something to wear under the sweatshirt! And a mask...

If you question your ability to wear a sweatshirt with a scarf, or with ... View the Post

THE WEEKLY TIMELESS WARDROBE, WEEK 10: NEUTRAL PRINT OR PATTERNED TOP

The Weekly Timeless Wardrobe, Week 10: Neutral Print or Patterned Top

September 2, 2019

I'm in Pittsburgh...  I'd be a true ingrate if I didn't give a hearty shout-out to the lovely people at Crazy Mocha who let me sit in their store while I finished this post. If you see a Crazy Mocha location, patronize them!

What differentiates this top from the one you added to your wardrobe last Monday is the degree of print. I see this top as being something that makes a little bit more of a statement - a more visible stripe, or a more pronounced floral. You could stick with something subtle, if that's what you like!

This first top would be lovely for someone who wears jeans frequently...

There aren't a ton of guidelines for this purchase: stay in your color palette and your chosen ... View the Post
