What I Wore-Corporate to Casual

/ / 19 Comments
When I started interviewing for new jobs I had a little bit of a dilemma. My current job was soooooo casual that to walk in with something remotely looking business kind of makes things look obvious.  And while my employer knew I was looking for other work I really didn’t want to look out of place. So this is how I took my interview outfit and made it casual. First off my interview outfit.   I always choose a dress… View Post

The charm of New York NEVER ends I tell you! The 6th bi-annual Jazz Age Lawn Party was held a few weeks ago on Governors Island and I was happy to attend with some lovely peeps. When I think of the 20’s I think of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The description of  the elite life in Long Island with dreamy white lace dresses á la Mia Farrow in the film version with Robert Redford (hubba hubba). I… View Post

What I Wore-Free Pile Dress

So friends, a little while back I won this at Meredith’s blog yours, mine, & ours. Well, actually I didn’t quite win that exactly. I won this: One of Meredith’s frees pile finds, a skirt labeled 3X. I pretty consistently wear a small or medium so this skirt is about 5 times my size; it dropped right to the floor when not held up. But Meredith did me a solid with picking out a free pile item with a pattern… View Post

Punch Lines-FTF Blog Event 6/8

For the June Full Time Fabulous event Kristy Eléna asked us to be creative in interpreting Summer trends. Part of me feels so much is on trend right now; from lacy nudes to the brightest color-blocking to sharp minimalism or an easy bohemian style-all are pretty right on trend right now. I love a great many of these trends, so picking one was really difficult. But then I happened on this April Vogue piece: Punch Lines Gasp, hand to mouth,… View Post
