More Seattle Style from Sassafras Boutique

I don’t have to worry about the rain and it gives me an excuse to layer. Yesterday I introduced you to this Lysle Style dress from Sassafras by pairing it with knee-high boots and …
True Seattle Style from Sassafrass
You all know my love for history. I write about it in almost every post, whether it’s my personal history or some era in fashion. But you must also know that I would never want to go back in time. “The good old days” really weren’t that good for most people, especially women, people of color, the …
Keep or Delete: A 16 Year-Old Houndstooth Skirt
Happy New Year! A new year has arrived. It’s a perfect time to take stock of the past and put together a plan for the future.

Going Grunge with the Fab 40s
