Hi Dots, it's Muu Muus...Oh, those free-flowing tents! For summer, I'm looking for a few pair of new shorts, maybe a new sundress or two, and of course, tops, in this summer's in colors. I'm also in the market for a few pair of jeans...the new higher-waisted ones. I haven't purchased many jeans in the last couple of years, due to my dislike of the low-rise horrors. I'll be on the look-out for a new bathing suit, too. I usually retire the last year's one to beachwear, and purchase a new one for wearing at the pool. Nothing like one season of ocean and sun to take its toll on a suit! http://www.intouchwithjeannine.com

Di, oh girl, have I got the summer sun hat for you! I love big wide-brimmed hats, with that gentle, sloping, front tip-down...know what I mean? While on vacation last year, I came across one that I knew would be my favorite for some time to come. It came with a rawhide drawstring chin thingy, which I immediately removed. I opt for a hat band I create with a silk scarf, choosing one with colors that compliment whatever outfit I'm wearing. This bit of foo-foo transforms this wide-brimmed beauty into a fashion accessory that garners many compliments, and queries as to where I found it. The image you'll see at the site below does no justice to the look of the hat...I first saw mine displayed on a hat rack, which allowed me to note how fine was that sweeping front brim. The hat,lying flat gives no indication of the look one may achieve by wearing it... You really can't get the idea of how great a look it is, by this picture, but to wear it is to love it! http://tulahats.com/frameset.htmlhttp://www.intouchwithjeannine.com

I just had to purchase some warm weather clothes for the meeting I went to in southern CA. I bought some capris, even though I don't really like them on short people, but they are so comfortable. I wore them a lot. I also bought a longer, fuller skirt and top from J Jill. Other than that, I usually wear cotton skirts just above my knee with a t-shirt - it's my summer uniform. I better get this old body ready for them.

Going to check out JJill as we speak. Then I'm off to find an outfit for my s-i-l's wedding in VA in a couple of weeks. I was going to wear what I have, but my hubby will be giving the bride away. So I decided to treat myself to something new.

I love my below the waist bootcut jeans - higher-rise pants don't look good on me at all and I've been so glad that better pants have been around the last couple of years! I don't, however wear the really-low rise jeans though. As I mentioned on another thread on the Fashion section, I love the fact that there's something else to wear top-wise that's as comfortable/easy to wear as a t-shirt, but a whole lot prettier - and, not everything is skintight either. The empire-waisted tops and dresses come to mind! I also enjoy the detailing and ornamentation on the newer clothes too, which range from all-out boho-girl to sharper, edgier looks. If really fancy stuff doesn't suit, then an accessory that's unusual can do it! I like to wear unusual combos of things anyway - like short over long over jeans, any old time of year - just the fabrics change. I also like and look good in COLORS(not necessarily blaring, but RICH) - safe, "tasteful neutrals", and other overly-muted colors that we're supposedly supposed to wear "at our age" don't do it for me. Not everyone benefits from playing it "safe" style-wise. If you wear colors that suit your skintone, and clothes that suit your physique, whatever that is, you'll look great - and there is lots of info out there!
