Daywear for Normal Americans

I think it's safe to say most of us don't wear designer apparel to

the grocery store, etc.  I've been talking about the lack of

daywear in the collections

for a few weeks.

But, now I've just found this beauty from

MaxMara

the quintessential stripped down, clean lines

in the same vein as Armani, but much much less in price;

their fabrics are natural fibers & beautiful...and, yes, they travel well.

love the long, almost dragging, pant legs...why?  because this line

makes everyone look slimmer, especially me...if you're a tiny little short

girl (which I've always wanted to be) a little narrower leg would look

really pretty.

option for a necklace...our Splenderosa

really long long long rope of watermelon

tourmaline nuggets, and various shapes

& colors of small tourmalines interspersed throughout

the rope.  this can be worn 3 ways, doubled or tripled (as shown) or

really long as a necklace, or as a belt !!

i like it because it adds just a bit of color & is whimsical.

this shoe because it looks casual & dressy,

and because it'll stay on your foot, making it possible

to actually walk

darling little thing, isn't it?

DKNY, it might look busy, but it's chic & young

& will go anywhere...I could wear this every day

in spring & summer, and when I'm NOT shopping for

groceries, putting gas in the car, taking dogs to the groomer...

I would put on piles of bracelets, on each arm of course

and so would you !!
