Poison in a Pretty Glass

Dressing to my favorite tune by The Nationals, Wasp Net.
The girl he's crooning about is "poison in a pretty glass" and
this is what (I think) she'd be wearing.
She's a sassy Pretty Young Fling

Hello New York

Heading to up up up New York at the end of the week and fighting the urge to pack it heavy.
Polyvore's few choice favorites (and some of mine) will make up my entirely LIGHT load.

Surviving the Winter

My Winter Clothes are exhausted

Street Styles suggest a few looks to survive the rest of the cold air season

(1)I can't specify what I love about this look BUT tomorrow I'll remind myself to put on my fur, pull back my hair and O.D. on eyeliner and I won't forget the cocktail ring for a shiny finishing touch.

(2) Layering non matchy prints. The tiny polka dot and tweed combination

is a heavy favorite. I swore off plaid several years ago after coming across

old photos of me in a very unflattering calf length kilt of sorts. Vivienne Westwood's

red label plaid layering is forcing me to reconsider.

(3)Pale Accessories. What a great visual reminder that spring season is just

around the bend. It's a bit early to debut our pretty pastel dresses but a pale accessory here and there seems just right.

(4)White Dress/Black Surround Sound. Winter White? Summer White?

Who cares. I love white winterized by Ms. Betty and Milly's runway

(5)Total BlackOUT. It's been such a long season that my black clothes have faded.

We might have to buy a few new things to pull this look off.

(6)Watch with too much arm candy. Grandpa's gold watch to be exact.

Any other suggestions on how to survive the rest of March?

TEN

Ten style things I want to remember
Your outfits are a gift to the world. Dress for fun and let them stare
You should always have one item that is a one of a kind
Plan ahead
Clean out your closet once a week. There is a lot of garbage in there
There IS something in there for every occasion
Always splurge, once a season
Sit up straight
Wear something because you love it, not because it’s trendy.
Have a wish list at all times.
Don’t forget the lipstick.
