Who doesn’t love Tee Shirts and Sweatshirts in these days?  I know I can never have enough of them for myself because they are a staple in my wardrobe.  Graphic T-shirts for Valentine’s Day are a bonus.  I love holidays and special occasions and this is one of my favorites.

In these days of pandemic when we are not allowed to go out unless necessary, finding a new T is as easy as shopping right here.

My Cents of Style has some lovely Graphic Tshirts and Sweatshirts just for Valentine’s Day and beyond.

Summer Tops, Fall Tops, Winter Tops They are all Here!

It is the end of August and Summer is almost done for 2020!

No this is not another doom and gloom prediction,  summer is almost at an end, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop everything and lock our doors.

Things are just starting to loosen up a little with all the COVID restrictions, so now’s a great time to go through your closets and see what needs up-dating.

Personally I love my many different Tops!

When it comes to making my wardrobe work well, I find that pairing tops and bottoms is the way to go!

Instead of one look only with a dress, you can have dozens of looks with one skirt and several different blouses/tops! Whether you are on a budget or not, tops and bottoms still make a lot of sense.

 


Pairing solids with prints or complimentary solids is one way to make better use of your clothing budget.  I know I love wild prints one day and another might day might be a more sedate color blocking kind of day.  With different tops in my wardrobe, I can choose easily.  My daily mood will tell me which way to go!

Charmwish, has some beautiful tops and T-shirts for you to consider adding to your look!  Graphic T’s, Color Blocks or Tye Dye are all in fashion.

I personally love the longer Tunic type tops.  For myself (being a Plus Size) I love the way they just float over my hips and give me a silhouette  that I truly like. Plus with my endless changes in weight, I can still look good with a few pounds more or a few less.  I don’t have to change my whole wardrobe.

 


So many beautiful ways to make your wardrobe work for you!

First time shoppers will receive an extra bonus from Charmwish, just remember your code at the checkout!

Summer’s End is Near, New Fall Arrivals Are Here!

New Fall Arrivals for 2020, and Summer is almost a Done Deal

I don’t know how many of you are happy that this years Summer is almost at an end, but I’m sure that many of us are just happy that we are all still here.  Hopefully the next few months will see an easing of many restrictions that are still in place.

One beauty though, is that while we can’t get out and physically shop our favorite stores, many of them have stepped us to our new reality. Charmwish is one of those!

Where will you look when searching out What’s New?

I am happy that I can order what I like and have it delivered to my door without any hassles and without having to mask up and keep my distance.  I even get a discount just for shopping there the first time.

Not only does it allow me some freedoms by shopping from home, but it also offers me some really beautiful clothes too!

Back to School, no problem!

Even your shopping for Back to School can be a money saver!  Charmwish will give you 15% off your purchase just use the code in blue above and you will be directed right to the correct pages.  It can’t be easier than that!

If you are not going back to school, you can still get a discount because at Charmwish there is always something beautiful waiting just for you!

I promise you will find something that just tugs at your fashion senses and that will complete or start your fall wardrobe. I know I have my eyes on some really pretty sweaters that will just make that transition time perfect.

A beautiful Autumn Addition, fall sweaters,

This is one of my favorites that comes in 5 different colors and the price is so right!  You will want more than one!

I also love that the same beautiful pieces for regular sizes are also available in the Plus Sizes as well.  This is  One Place to shop for everyone in the family.

Please stop by and let me know what you think or share your favorite pieces!  I would love to hear from you!

Eco Friendly Fashions, New Ways, Dress for Success

We are learning new things all the time!

With our limited ability to get out shopping, we are searching out new ways to keep ourselves looking good.  At the same time, we are learning that Mother Nature needed the break in our hectic schedules just to breathe.  As good citizens of the earth we can help her do just that.

During the early parts of the new millenium, we started to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!

This is a very good thing indeed.  Waste has been a problem for many years and we are finally starting to understand there are ways to leave a smaller foot print on our earth.

To that end, Darn Good Yarn, has been innovative and a leader in recycling fabrics that would otherwise go into landfills.  Not only are they making the recycling of fabric a priority, but they are also empowering women from third world countries by providing ways to make their lives easier.

Women in the third world are sewing saris into new clothing for wear in our western society.  They trade their saris for useful household articles and the saris that are only worn once are made into new fashions.  It’s a win-win situation.  Just look at the beautiful colors:

Those saris that were not being used, are now made into skirts that fit all kinds of body types and look ultra feminine, wearable and colorful too!

Personally I have 5 of these skirts and I know that I can wear them just about anywhere I go.  I feel pretty and know that I am making a difference in the lives of so many women.  In this video you will see for yourself the difference you can make to help people from around the world.

Isn't it a great idea to be part of the change that Mother Nature needs now?

Do you want to see some of the beautiful color combinations?

As I told you earlier, I have 5 of these lovely skirts that have been reworked from saris that were headed to the landfills.  I know that the fabric is still of great use and value.  The fact that the remaking of these saris into skirts,  to help women in poorer parts of the world live a better life, just makes these skirts even more enjoyable to wear.

The colors are easily matched or contrasted with T-shirts or blouses of just about any color in the rainbow.  I am sure you will find that these skirts will be a much enjoyed addition to your wardrobe.  Summer months are even cooler with these skirts too!

 

eco friendly skirts, saris to skirts, reused

These are just some of the pretty colors that your sari skirts could be.......

Each skirt is different and reversible, so that when you have one skirt, you really have two.  Now that's what I call user friendly.  Each skirt has a bold pattern on one side and a more subtle pattern on the other and the colors generally are somewhat coordinated, or sometimes they are completely different and unique on each side.  You just never know what you will get!  It's a surprise package that I'm sure you will enjoy!

Sari-skirts can be worn just about anywhere at anytime!  You can dress them up or dress them down as you wish.  There is no hard fast rule about how to wear these lovely creations.

The Bottom Line is:

You can look really good and help women in third world countries live better lives in one click!  Now that's what I call getting some real bang for your shopping buck!

Gloves and Face Masks are the New Look For Everyone!

In this day and age (did you ever think we would use that opening?)  we are somehow expecting things to get better.

It’s not all about living in your PJ’s and Face Masks.

 

What can you do?

But if you need face masks and haven’t taken up the challenge to make your own, there are great face masks available out there.  Kiyonna makes a three layered cotton face mask that is reusable, reversible and best of all breathable.  Many commercial face masks are so uncomfortable!  I’ve seen people take them off their faces less than 5 minutes after having put them on. That is NOT good.

That is not why and how we are supposed to do it.  When you go out publicly the face mask is the first layer of protection you need to keep you safe!  The air we breath has to be filtered.   We don’t want to give this nasty virus a chance with our health.  Putting on a face mask that is comfortable is the first step.

This one made by Kiyonna fits that bill perfectly!

Is a Face Mask enough?

Now just because you go out with a face mask does not mean that you are totally safe.  You still need to take other precautions as well.  In public places surgical gloves are also a great idea and will keep you hands from picking up germs on surfaces that the public has had access to as well.

When you are finished shopping and you get back into your own home, remove those gloves and dispose of them properly.  You should not remove your gloves until you are in your car or home.  Use care to remove them properly and dispose of them properly too!  Watch this video and see how easy it is to safely remove those gloves from your hands!  No worries about contamination if you do it right!

Glove removal is easy when you follow the video!  

If you feel you need an extra layer of protection (you are caring for elderly or infirm) then have some hand sanitizer in your car or inside your handbag.  Better still wash your hands well after being out in the public!

 

Together we will make it through this trying time and find ourselves in our PJ’s just when it’s time to go to sleep again.

Pizzazz Starts on the Inside and Works It’s Way Out!

Pizzazz starts right at the beginning of the day, and WOW, do I have a way to start!

Everyone knows that feeling good starts from the moment you wake up to getting your day started on the right foot!  Well I’m here to tell you that looking good is a frame of mind that begins with what you put on your body!

 

Lovely lingerie is a must for every woman!  You deserve to have comfort, style and support while still being feminine and lovely.  No one needs to know what you are sporting under all your work clothes, except you and whoever you want to share that with.  You know that when you put something special on, it changes the way you feel.  Just think, everyday you could feel that special and look lovely too!

So What’s New at Lavinia Lingerie?

 

The Darling Collection by Lavinia Lingerie, is that something special.  Designed to give you support and still look sexy, this collection is a must have for every woman.

Darling Collection Bra, you should see the matching panties too!

This Darling Collection is getting rave reviews.  Bras are extremely comfortable and give really good support.  The materials used are pretty and feminine!  Give them the proper care and they will last you a long time.  But better still, get a couple of new bras so that when laundry time arrives, you have another great bra waiting in the wings.  This collection is reasonably priced so that having two or more is not out of the question.

 

This is just a quick peek at the beautiful collection that will make you feel like a million bucks.  But there are so many other styles and colors available too.

So, What else is there?

 

As I said earlier, Pizzazz starts from the inside out, and with Lavinia Lingerie there are so many different and beautiful styles!  All of them are available just for you.  One click and you are on your way to seeing for yourself how beautiful these pieces are.

 Pizzazz Plus Fashion and Lavinia Lingerie is the place to start with so many lovely intimates made just for you!

In the end you get to reap the benefits of pointing them in the right direction!  Pizzazz never looked so good, from the inside out!

Summer has been a wonderful time to relax, refresh and make some really great family memories.  Now it’s time for Back to School!

Have you got a Secret Upcoming Event to Share?

How many times have you been invited to a party or get together and it’s a total surprise to the “Guest of Honor”?

I would imagine that this happens quite often.  Sending out invites though can pose a problem.  With “snail mail”delivered invites, it’s quite possible that the “guest” will be  finding that “surprise” invite in their mailbox.  What is a person to do?  You want all your efforts to succeed in surprising the Guest of Honor!   Event planning of this kind requires some innovative ways to do the invitations and more.

Well, I have a great solution!

Send the invite by e-mail with all the particulars.   Make an invite as exceptionally beautiful as is fitting for your little (or big) event.   The Guest of Honor will never know who received an invite until the day of the “do”. Imagine the look on their face when they are surprised by the crowd that has gathered for the party.  Some secrets are wonderful when the surprise happens!
online invites, paperless post invites, digital invites
Keeping secrets over a milestone birthday, wedding anniversary or any other extra special affair can be nerve wracking.  Writing out all those invites can send you into a state of panic.  Writer’s cramp is no fun at anytime.

Then there are the replies, either positive or negative that have to be kept track of.  What seemed like a really good idea for a party, all of a sudden has become a nightmare. Unless you like to stress, there is a better wayPaperless Post makes stress a thing of the past.

Be Bold Be Nice Be Wonderfully Comfortable Poolside!

Poolside adventures await everyone this summer!

There isn’t a time during the summer months when you will be happy to be either poolside or lakeside!  When the temperatures start to reach their peak, you just know that water will quench the warmth .    If you are anything like me, hanging out in my bathing suit only is not my idea of fun.  Add a flirty feminine cover-up and my blood pressure starts to return to normal.  It’s not that I don’t wear bathing suits,  I do.  I swim everyday for an hour, but, waltzing around in my swimsuit is not my idea of fun.

Cover Ups to the Rescue!

Once I am out of the water, I want something easy to slip on, that will make me look feminine yet casual and fun.  That’s what summer is all about.  At the same time I want my comfort.  That means wearing a nice cover-up of some sort.

Today we have lots of choices in that department.  You can get cover-ups that are specifically made for swim suits or you can wear one of the many maxi dresses as a cover up too.  I happen to like this one that I found while searching our some really nice alternatives.  Let me know what you think!

Are you more of a floral type of gal?  Thank goodness for so many choices.  This one done up in a floral pattern will make you look amazing.

For an added touch of class just add some really nice strappy sandals and you are ready to go from the poolside to dinner with your favorite side kick.

Of course if you don’t want to show off quite so much cleavage, there are other options as well.  Just know that any of these dresses can be worn over a bathing suit or they can be worn as a dress.  I love being able to make one thing work  two jobs.

How about this little number!

Same idea, but again a whole different “feel” to the dress. Summer dresses are wonderful and cool too, because you want comfort above all.   Soft and light with splashes of color to just stop you in your tracks.  This is a winner in my books and I bet you will have compliments galore coming your way.

 

Each of these dresses are easy care and easy wear, just right for summer.  Available in lots of sizes just for you!

You know you need at least one of these as a wardrobe basic and for holidays it’s even better.  If you are a swimmer like me, then one or two would be even better.
