TABOOS AND TRENDS

Yesterdays taboos are tomorrows trends. I was raised with the idea that White shoes are a taboo, and that the shoes should never be lighter than the seam. Sounds a little archaic to you? Well, it fact it is. There are a number of fashion dos and don'ts that we grew up with that now appear to be primitive and outdated. Here I am again, challenging convention, or perhaps simply ignoring outdated rules. My soles are much paler than the pants, I am wearing different prints together, and I feel ecstatic about the liberation. One more advantage of being a girl of a certain age....

  9. I think when it comes to dressing up there should be NO rules! I actually love the paler shoes look.. it makes legs look longer and more sophisticated! Absolutely love your Valentinos and 2 thumbs up for the pairing!

  10. Beautiful, Nicolene! I love all kinds of animal prints so you can imagine how much I love your look.
    The neutral colours make it very sophisticated.

  12. Hello
    I am new to your blog, but love your outfits. The first one is lovely. I like the mixture of textures and design , looks great on you, and I am a huge fan of vntage. I have cat eye glasses, but looking into ones that are more exaggerated, the black and the cobalt is a great combination and since I love lace, even better. I found your site through the link up ( Patti's), so if you have time, perhaps you could drop by and see my cat eye Mad Men look www.elegantlydressedandstylish.com

  14. This theme seems to be on the minds of a lot of us! As we move into summer here, I'll keep this outfit in mind to copy with very-little-to-no shame! I won't be able to manage the warmth of the jacket, but the colors and patterns will inspire. I also admire your confident not-quite smile ... you look grand!
