An Afternoon with YSL

On Friday, June 8th, my husband escorted me to “Yves Saint Laurent: The Retrospective” at the Denver Art Museum. The weather was as beautiful as the ball gowns featured in the exhibit! According to the Visitor Guide, “the Denver Art Museum, in collaboration with the Fondation Pierre Berge-Yves Saint Laurent is delighted to present a sweeping retrospective of the designer’s forty years of creativity. Yves Saint Laurent: The Retrospective features a stunning selection of two hundred haute couture (high fashion) garments along with numerous photographs, drawings, and films that illustrate the development of Saint Laurent’s style and the historical foundations […]

Dress Form Outfit #25

During my “vacation” to Colorado, I didn’t get a chance to visit many thrift stores until this past Tuesday, and luckily I found a couple of pieces that I really liked. I went to the ARC Thrift Store in Colorado Springs and found this pretty watercolor floral print top, which I paired with a dressy mini-skirt. The top is by “Juliett Maui”, which I’d never heard of before but I just thought this top was so pretty. Has anyone ever heard of this label before? I googled it, but I couldn’t find anything. Later this week, I’ll update you on […]

I try to combine being comfortable with being stylish, which sometimes is hard for me to do with my limited wardrobe.

I actually took these photos this past Saturday afternoon because […]

Dress Form Outfit #23

I have never been to New York, but my husband has been once or twice. A few years ago, when he went for a short business trip, he stopped off and picked up this army green New York cap-sleeve fitted shirt for me. I paired it with a “lowest rise” mini-skirt from Target. A cute pair of espadrilles would make this outfit complete. I love the Stuart Weitzman “Alex” espadrille wedge, which I think would go great with this outfit. Kelly Ripa’s co-host today, Mike Greenberg, mentioned that his wife complimented one of the female staff members on her shoes, which were the […]

Dress Form Outfit #22

Green is my favorite color and this soft cotton sleeveless shirt is not only comfortable, but accentuates my green eyes. I’ve paired this shirt with a cotton/spandex mini-skirt and a long silver necklace. I would wear black wedge sandles with it, or you could wear cute flats (although I don’t actually own any flats). Have a great day!
