Forever Chic Style

Timeless Elegance With summer comes a sense of ease, comfort and simplicity when selecting one's apparel.  The days of heavy coats, chunky sweaters and boots have been swept away with the warm waves of sunshine.  Of course, if you live in the Pacific Northwest, we have been experiencing torrential downpours. Yes, it was the wettest May on record (last time was 1948) and we are now in June with overcast skies.   For all of those who have recently moved here, (we have seen every license plate from our country on the our roads in the last few months) they are experiencing the endless and strange rain and grey early summer.  On the other hand, if you are in the desert areas, a massive drought remains tragically in place.  My intuition believes water will be a problem in the future.  Thus, perhaps our rain is a blessing.  Only time will tell.  Wherever, you reside there are weather patterns causing angst.  However, life goes on.  At least it is green and lush outside even with the rain.

  My Imaginary Life "You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it." Edith Head When I look outside today, I see lush fresh green growth, flowers, ferns, and beauty everywhere.  It is a brand-new fauna and flora world bursting the seams with joy. Color is everywhere in superb hues delighting the mind and soul.  Regarding fashion, it is the moment to drench oneself in beautiful tones and sport simple clothing for the warmer months to come.  The list of "minimalistic" apparel includes shorts, frocks, sandals, bathing suits and ropes of costume jewelry.  What is my imaginary life?  A friend of mine used this comment recently and I loved it.  Over the last two years, many of us have collected select pieces to wear sometime in the future. Thus, waiting for our imaginary life to begin once again with events, dinners, outings, and soirees of yesteryear or rather over two years ago.  We collected in anticipation.  After all, shopping online has become a new hab
