Saturday I went to the Simon Mall at Lenox Square fashion show.
So I went into the building wearing a gold club shirt and a interesting black skirt. I was influenced by the 1770s outfit, so I attended this event in costume. Did I get some looks? Yes. I thought it made the day fun.
So anyway, they had a great set up. Leather seating, stage, and small closets of clothing according to theme, they, who were interested in love sat and soaked in the trends for season for a great date look.
The models, less than 10, came out, in two's, they were wearing the various themes they had set. Strappy high heel shoes with casual dresses and preppy wear for the women was the mode for the
stage. Clean cut almost 1950s meet the 1980s with a touch of the 1990s for the guys for the day with their girl was the overall look here.
Yes, you can tell I wore a lot of clothing for me to know my fashion history so well. I have.
After the show, you were allowed to get an expert from a fashion blogger to stylist from Glamour or GQ magazine. I was a kid in the fashion candy shop as I looked at each closet. They looked at my costume with prayer. I smiled. From Boho Chic(my favorite) to a casual formal look with a touch of staycation theme, each expert gave you advice about the theme and asked about your own fashion sense.
Despite the fact I can barely spell date and have not been on date for many years. I still enjoyed the moment. After all, I still can wear these themes as a single who person who works a lot.
To get the look, they do have the ideas featured in Glamour Magazine. It is worth the buy and time to pick up a copy.

My Fashion History
I was always a girly tom boy with interesting fashion looks.
As a little girl my inspiration was pop stars. So fingerless gloves with skirt, then I am off to school. A little yellow tiered dress with white Ked on the playground. On the weekend, I would wear a pool inflatable with leggings and hair bows on my tennis shoes. Clearly, I had open minded parents who allowed me to express myself. Thankfully, there wasn't a school uniform.
In middle school I went rock. MTV, it was on a Saturday night with the head bangers. At the registry I begged for a pair of faded jeans and wore them off and on for a months. So tight jeans with crop shirts and basketball tennis shoes. A little bit of rock mixed with more hip hop. So it was pink jumper with tennis shoes and a cap.
High school, my personality became more conservative. So, Elizabeth, the Queen of England meets Boyz to Men. Jeans with jackets and loafers on Monday. At church, a dress suit with a sensible shoe.
The sexy came back by the time I was 18. Short skirt and high heel shoes as I left the halls of high school. By the following spring, a pair of black daisy dukes laced on the side with a tight shirt. A little mini skirt during the next year of college to the point I had a raised eyebrow of a female professor. Very little clothing with three inch heels.
College became engagement which was closet full of Sears. Jeans, t shirts with Nine West loafers.
Macys black dresses.
I was bored.
My child was born.
He said to change it.
I did.
I went to the exploration of fashion. I love it. I mostly explore during the weekend after all I am over 40. I do not think laced up short shorts will go well at a business networking event. So, Friday evening, it is. I explore through pop culture, fashion history, and runway looks, adding my own touches. It keeps me from being bored, allows me to completely to change my personality. I can be artistic and experimental as an adult.
So, my fashion look....honestly, it is more conservative than you think but I do know to color outside of the lines.
As we go along, I hope to introduce you to that crayon box.
