I recently spied a darling white blouse on a $10 clearance rack. The style was reminiscent of Kate Spade. I could easily imagine how versatile the blouse would be and began searching the racks searching for my size. There was none to be found. Don’t you just HATE that? My choice was either a size 2 (never gonna happen) and a size 12. The 12 was way too big. You can see a definite gap in the underarm area. But here is An Easy Way To Fix A Blouse That is Too Big.

The Great Gatsby

Back To Cool
Last week I went back to school shopping with Sweet Boy. As we embarked on our quest I asked him if there were any specific items that he was looking for. It was time for Back To Cool. Back To Cool His reply: “A white shirt, pants I can roll up and definitely a vest and suspenders.” Luckily, I had just swallowed my big gulp of Pepsi. I tried playing it cool and said “That’s an interesting combination. What is your inspiration?” “Mom, you know how sissy (aka The Fashionista) loves One ... View the Post
