Since I am one who commutes to work every day on the San Francisco Muni, I often look around the train to get a feel for how women dress while going to work. Although, in this part of the continent, we have traded in the suits for a “tasteful” semi-casual look, often times women over 40 tend to dress inappropriately even from the fashion point of view. What would you consider your look and tell me why?
Too soon to think Autumn, even though it is actually almost around the corner. But in the fashion world, Autumn attire is long planned and introduced.

I have never considered red hues for a gown to a formal event, but from the looks of things, these designer gowns are something to think about.
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone or actually anyone who looks forward to the occasion. Here are some of my favorite black and white photographs, which to me have the best depiction of romance.
I can honestly say, I was envious of some of the gowns worn by the under 40 crowd. The color, design and classic feel to most gowns were simply breath-taking. See for yourself
