Actually I correct myself there...it hasn't been fun for a very long time as I didn't know what I was doing, and couldn't seem to find anyone who could help me. I have my mentor now, an angel named Marie-Anne Lecouer, and she has changed my life, literally. NOW it's fun to play with fashion...lol! Teresa, go, try the long skirt, find a way to love it, and WEAR it. I've missed out on so much, and I now want to make up for it. Don't be me!

Thank you for sharing your tips with us. It's great fun to play with fashion, isn't it? You've got me re-thinking those long skirts that have been showing up all over that I adore. I've not been brave enough to try one on, but perhaps I could find a way to get that look without the long long skirt that I would most likely trip over lol!

And NO, it's never over...till it's really over if you get my drift. Keep trying, and you too, will find the formula that works for you. My best advice? Get really fussy. Get fussy with your current wardrobe, and ditch anything that doesn't make you look and feel beautiful. Get fussy with anything you buy from now on...in fact have a detailed list, and if the item isn't on your list, or it lacks something that you can't readily fix, don't buy it at all. That's saved my sanity and my bank balance this year!

I've had a pretty awful couple of years personally with extended family issues, so I really lost my way for a while. Self was way at the bottom of the list. That's why I started this journey for 2017. I knew if I didn't pick up my act now, I might never, you know? Thankyou for your continuing encouragement. It's really meant so much to me.

I have just discovered Love Notions PDF patterns. Each pattern has multiple sizes so I can adapt them to my figure. The Laundry Day Tee (free on Facebook page) is a fit and flare style which is very flattering. It can be made up as a dress as well. I also bought patterns for Sabrina Slim pants, the Sybil skirts (multiple styles in one pattern) and Tessa sheath dress. This will form the basis of my entire wardrobe. Patterns are very versatile - for example the top of the Tessa sheath can be mashed with the Sybil skirt to make a dress. The patterns are for knit fabrics so very easy to sew up on my overlocker. (PS I have no association with Love Notions patterns - just a happy customer).Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01849978245009963925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-31669890845970701722017-10-23T23:53:57.991+10:002017-10-23T23:53:57.991+10:00Mimi, You look gorgeous!

This style is a reflection of your positive, sunny cyberself. I'm glad you are frocking up. It says a lot in all sorts of subtle ways. People really appreciate looking at people who have made an effort. I like the nude sandal as much as the pointy toe. It's interesting how much shoes make or break an outfit. The point toe shoe is fine. The point toe shoes take the outfit from daytime (sandals) to a summer evening outfit. Really happy for you. You look lovely.
