Style Imitating Art… Welcome to Style Imitating Art which comes from Salazar, Shelbee, and me. You can think of this series as fashion meets art museum! SIA challenges people to find inspiration in different art works, create looks based upon that art work, and share them with the curator for that piece. I am this week’s curator …

Creativity… I never thought of myself as a particularly creative person. I couldn’t draw, play a musical instrument, or do anything I considered creative. I was very, very tunnel-visioned in my thinking. It wasn’t until after I retired that I realized I’d been funneling all my creativity into my teaching. I had to create bulletin …
Anything… I’m not sure there’s ever really anything new in denim these days. I think, with the exception of skinny jeans, just about anything goes. But, I think they (skinny jeans) will be back in a few years. That seems to be the way with denim. This year, one of the big things is the …
Nothing special… I had really high hopes for this look. I wore the cover up in this Ageless Style post featuring holiday looks. The Regency Cover Up in Rich Red is really luscious. Some people suggested wearing it as a dress, but it only has two buttons. If you look closely, however, the closing is …
Christmas happenings… I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. A few years ago, we (meaning I) decided to celebrate Christmas dinner in a less formal way (meaning not turkey or ham). We have had Italian and Mexican so far. This year, after my oldest granddaughter’s pleas, we went with pizza. There is a mom …
We have had a really nice fall here in Central Indiana. The temperatures have been warm in the day and cool at night. It’s really cooled off the last couple of days, though. Did you catch the Northern Lights? My friend who lives out in the country texted me that night and told me to …
I usually ask how your summer is going, but I guess I need to ask how your fall is going. How is your spring going if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere? I hope, if you’re anywhere in the path of Hurricane Helene, you are safe and have power. We have had quite a bit of …
I have been wanting to do something like this for a bit now. Every once in a while, I’m going to restyle a piece or an entire outfit for Try It Again Tuesday! I don’t know exactly how this will go. There may be times when the outfit is completely different from the original, and …
Women disappear… I’m not sure about you, but I’ve read lots of articles and blog posts about how women disappear. I’m not talking about kidnapping. I’m talking about how women of a certain age seem to disappear from sight. It’s tough being a woman of a certain age…that is, if you let it! What, you …
Holy heatwave, Batman! It is just plain miserable here in Central Indiana. Most of you can probably tell I’m a night owl. The temperatures have been in the 80s at 11:00pm! That’s approximately 29C! Thank goodness we have central air. The heat also makes my hair go flat right away which makes me feel even …
