I like to get Dressy Dressy from time to time.. However the older I get the more Casual I am as well.. I happen to like my jeans & sweatshirts with Cats on them..

When I was a teenager, Jackie Kennedy was in the white house, so I wore little white leather gloves and a pillbox hat. Loved it! I don't necessarily like wearing formal clothes but I do like to wear skirts and I wore them more often than not when I was working outside my home. Then I dated a biker for a few years and my wardrobe consisted mainly of jeans and chaps. LOL

Clearly the emotion was mutual.

I didn't, but I heard about it on news radio. I wonder if it is on youTube or elsewhere on the Internet. It sounded like a day those students will always look back on.

I guess I'm sort of a permanent fashion "don't". There is a line in the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" where Tula calls herself "frump girl", and that's me. It has gotten worse since I broke my ankle, because most days my ankle swells up so much that I'm afraid to wear skirts.

I like that she often wears things that the rest of us could wear - if we chose to do so. I've purchased from J.Crew in the past.

Personally, I liked the outfit she wore to the school. The only thing she's worn that I was so-so about was the Inaugural Ball gown. To me, it looked kind of junior-promish.

I like the sweater too sparks...not sure about my size either...but hey today for my birthday I splurged...bought a I.N.C. little 3/4 lenght sleeve black sweatshirt with peace signs and love on it...really hippie chic it was 79.00 bucks way more than I normally would spend and a tie die top to match...top is longer than sweat shirt...who says I am not hip?

Wait till Hannah helps you pick your clothers!

I see my chance to sound fabulously well informed. It looked like a Jason Wu to me.
(The Editor of Vogue said so.)
