Occasional Q & A

Here's my question for the Q & A segment...

What to wear my red shoes with? Do I keep it neutral? Go black and white? Add a red accessory?

I am 65 years and fighting frumpy tooth and nail! My style is casual, think jeans, classic with a bit of funk.

I love these shoes, but, am not sure how to style them.

Thank you so much!!

Thank you for the question, Cher!

You can treat your shoes as neutral, which means you could wear them with jeans or other dark colors. Of course, you could wear them in white, but the focus is likely going to go to the shoes. Wearing the same tone from hip to toe elongates visually.

A couple of suggestions are shown below.

Saying Goodbye to a Friend

We attended the funeral of a dear friend today. He lived a great life, and he was adored by many people. Rest in peace, Pete.

I wore a black dress from Chico's last year. The dress has sheer mesh sleeves. I paired it with black suede heels from Saks off 5th and carried a small black reptile print box clutch from T.J.Maxx. 

I wore the necklaces I made using an Ethiopian Coptic Cross combined with an old necklace from Chico's. I love to layer long necklaces for a unique look.

Animal Print Simple Comfort

You already know that I love to wear the Covered Perfectly tops. 

They pack and travel very well, and they are the perfect layering piece.

I am wearing a lightweight vest over the snow leopard simple comfort top. The three-quarter length sleeves are perfect to wear with a vest.

I modeled this top during the recent photoshoot in L.A. and immediately said, "Must have this one!" I ordered it as soon as I returned home. This top has now sold out. Hopefully, there will be more of them in the future.

The colors are gorgeous, and the fabric is so soft I often forget I am wearing street clothes instead of pajamas when I have one of these tops.

Chico's Saturday Fun

I was a guest at Chico's in Johnson City for a few hours on Saturday.

The purpose of my visit was to share style tips with women who stopped by to ask me questions. I met some lovely ladies who already had such a great style.

Isn't this a great hairstyle?

I wore a faux leather-trimmed vest from the new fall collection. The silver-gray tee and the pants are also from Chico's but from years past. The necklace is one of my own designs layered with an old Chico's necklace.

A Day in the City

We spent the day in Asheville on Sunday.

We spent the day just hanging out, having lunch, watching people, and shopping in the Grove Arcade.

I enjoy the architecture of the Grove Arcade very much.

There is always some form of entertainment on the streets of Asheville.

Mr. Mickey is having fun with one of the various art installments in the city.

I find it very therapeutic to spend the day relaxing in the midst of a busy city. I remove myself from the rush and just sit on a bench in a park, relaxing and taking in my surroundings.

The LG Lena Gabrielle jacket I wore today was discovered on the sale rack at Stein Mart earlier this summer. It has faux leather trim and a black knit body.

The white tank, straight leg jeans, and necklace are from Chico's. The shoes are from Nordstrom. The quilted chain bag is from Express.
