The pants are both great but the straight leg style is a bit dressier and the one with a slit at the ankle a bit more trendy and two inches shorter.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173137023460640894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578527149393066342.post-25018974490146548452016-08-31T17:00:51.127-04:002016-08-31T17:00:51.127-04:00Hi Susan,

I was wondering, if one could pick just one of the dresses, which strap style would you suggest...also same for the pants? You can PM me if you prefer. Thanks for all you do.<br />Best,<br />Jan MaierJan Maierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444180543144812182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578527149393066342.post-19563413726364704722016-08-31T14:50:06.115-04:002016-08-31T14:50:06.115-04:00S Goins, this post shows you the travel bag for we...S Goins, this post shows you the travel bag for weekends.

Seriously! <br /><br />Clothing retailers need to pay attention to this shift. We're getting older, and wiser. Many of us see clothing as accessories to the life we live. We're not jumping on trends, and we want longer-lasting but stylish items in our wardrobes.<br /><br />I was thrilled to see this month that one of the moderate-priced clothing retailers in my country has gotten on board, out of necessity. They closed their low-end teen retail stores that weren't doing well and refocused their women's stores. The sizing changed, too. They have reflected our different body shapes in their designs. The new line has just launched for fall, and many of the pieces look similar to items shown in your blog. They've gone away from highly structured items to clothing with a softer fit. Blazers are still fitted, but now they have some Lycra, for example. I can't wait to go in and check it out!Prairie Poulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784027582453290583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578527149393066342.post-78664638269929612462016-08-31T11:39:16.677-04:002016-08-31T11:39:16.677-04:00Good to know, thanks so much Susan!Good to know, thanks so much Susan!Laura Whitehurstnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578527149393066342.post-68696211891925652032016-08-31T11:24:57.268-04:002016-08-31T11:24:57.268-04:00I am fairly new to your blog and also follow you o...I am fairly new to your blog and also follow you on Instagram and Pinterest. As I've gotten older, I've begun searching for help in choosing appropriate clothing for my age but yet clothing that makes me feel younger. I love classics and you do such an excellent job in explaining how to add a few accessories to update and change an outfit. You also have encouraged me to eat healthier and shed a few pounds😊😊<br />I have so enjoyed reading your blog and am taking to heart all your wonderful fashion advice. I enjoy seeing pictures of you and Mr. Mickey...what an elegant couple! I am a North Carolina girl who loves the Boone and Blowing Rock area, as well as Asheville, and particularly enjoy your blog posts from there. <br />Thank you for sharing your beautiful life! 😊😊<br />ShereeSheree Winsteadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578527149393066342.post-91906223936994956182016-08-31T11:19:20.021-04:002016-08-31T11:19:20.021-04:00Laura, those HSN pieces are also nice but not quit...Laura, those HSN pieces are also nice but not quite the same as the original line.

I love the saddle shoes and would love to see them come back in some fashion for women. <br /><br />I'm anxiously awaiting the pants from your line which are being shortened (long torso, the world's shortest legs). As I stated before, I have been transitioning from black to brown/cream as a base and can't wait to use the pants with some of the items I have purchased. Leaving for North Carolina for a two week vacation in September and the pants will be my go-to item for dinner outfits. So glad you found them to be easy to pack and wash. I am trying to keep the packing minimal. Have you thought of adding a brown tank or cardigan to your line?Kristien62https://www.blogger.com/profile/04141776821818167047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578527149393066342.post-52521146934652286892016-08-31T07:45:12.081-04:002016-08-31T07:45:12.081-04:00Y'all look so great together.
