Jennie from A Pocket Full of Polka Dots called boho for this month’s Fab 40s’ theme. Of course I was super excited to hear this theme because let’s face it: I’m definitely a bit bohemian in my style.

Purple Leopard Jumpsuit – Ping Pong Post No. 3
I might have squealed when I opened this month’s Ping Pong Post package and saw this purple leopard jumpsuit inside. It’s quite known that I love leopard (see here, here, here, and here), and I don’t discriminate against leopard in color (as seen here and here). Once I held it up, I will admit toContinue reading Purple Leopard Jumpsuit – Ping Pong Post No. 3
DIY with a Tailor: Off the Shoulder Dress
Sometimes I start a DIY and I realize I’m going to need some help. I think this is ok. I can sew–barely; I’m definitely a novice. But my lovely tailor in my neighborhood is amazing. And, she’s so sweet! I got started on this DIY and by the end realized when it came to theContinue reading DIY with a Tailor: Off the Shoulder Dress
Go With What Works!
The more mature (I won’t use older here!) I get, I’ve decided to GO WITH WHAT WORKS! There are many things that are hard on me, that I prefer not to get into–mainly my hip and the chronic pain it’s causing me. Therefore and rather, I like to focus my energy on the good. Basically,Continue reading Go With What Works!

Makeshift Denim Off the Shoulder Jumpsuit
Recently, I was admiring @shoppolkadotboutique’s Instagram feed when I became completely enamoured by this denim off the shoulder jumpsuit. It got met thinkin’….

DIY: Miu Miu Ribbon Heels
The other day while I was at the doctor’s office which is actually in a very fancy mall. As I was window shopping on my way through, I looked into Miu Miu’s window and was enchanted by the lovely heels I saw. As I kept stargazing, I realized, Wait! I could totally make these. Again,Continue reading DIY: Miu Miu Ribbon Heels
A Lace-Up Shirt on a Busty Figure
I have been noticing all of these cute lace-up shirts with the deep “V.” I never thought to try one figuring my busty figure would peek right through. I was pleasantly surprised by this striped version: yes, there is a bit of my cleavage sneaking through, but the rope lacing alongside the stripes offers aContinue reading A Lace-Up Shirt on a Busty Figure
The Fab 40s in Pleats
The moment Diane from Fashion on the 4th Floor declared this month’s styling theme every one of The Fab 40s got a little nervous–including me. Pleats, that’s what we were to style. The moment I saw pleats I thought to myself: Oh! Pleats look awful on me–they just enhance my ponchy ponch. I instantly startedContinue reading The Fab 40s in Pleats
Black Shirt Dress with a Red Trench – Ping Pong Post No. 2
I’m ping pong posting again–this time with a black shirt dress. Remember last month when I featured this cool plaid cape-like coat? (I should say tartan–as it hailed from the UK, and that’s how they say “plaid.”) This time around, Anna from Anna Island Style sent her black shirt dress to both Samantha from FakeContinue reading Black Shirt Dress with a Red Trench – Ping Pong Post No. 2
Some Dresses Are Meant to Be–Especially this Little Red Dress!
This little red dress was seriously meant to be. About a month ago, we were downtown for a movie, and afterwards we stopped at our flagship H&M. On display was this cute little red dress, but unfortunately, it was already sold out. I almost picked up a drapey shirt dress in the same color, butContinue reading Some Dresses Are Meant to Be–Especially this Little Red Dress!
