My Long Woolen Red Scarf

It’s cold outside. People are trudging to and from work through the slush and grime of trampled snow, thinking about the day ahead or what to make for dinner, when a shock of Red flashes through the crowd of drab gray, navy and black outerwear.

My long woolen Red Scarf is a beacon of brightness against a background of safe conservative colors. This cross-hatch 100% wool knit scarf was a grandma’s craft of love. It’s my favourite item to wear in the winter, with its fringed and tassled ends, and long length that lets me loop it around my neck several times for extra warm. I also love the uniqueness of this Red Scarf for being handcrafted. When everyone is wearing the same belted black Mackage coat and Loeffler Randall boots, it’s nice to stand out in the crowd!

Wonderful Womens Leather Gloves

I have a pair of wonderful leather gloves from Nine West that I got at Nordstrom Rack. They are light weight, very soft and flexible. I love the way they fit the shape of my hands, with just a little bit of elastic on the underside of the wrist for a snug fit and slim profile. There is a one-inch vent at the opening, making it easier to get them on and off. The gloves are light brown and the opening is edged with piping just a shade darker. The smooth, supple appearance of the leather gives the gloves a sophisticated look that I appreciate when I wear them with a dressy outfit and a good coat.

Well Worn Comfy Sweats

If it’s winter, then it’s time to bring out those well-worn but totally comfy sweats! I’m especially fond of a blue hooded sweatshirt that I got when I was working up at West Virginia University. It was on sale at the corner bookstore and it was a steal for less than ten bucks. It has the yellow Mountaineer logo on the front and is nice and roomy, so I can wear a turtleneck or flannel shirt underneath. I love the feeling of warmth and coziness when I wear this sweatshirt. There’s a large pocket in the front, which you can use to warm your hands or carry an iPod, your keys or some Kleenex. I wear this sweatshirt all the time; around the house, in the yard or while shopping around town. If I could wear it to work, I would – but I don’t think the boss would approve!

Shopping at the Rave

My favorite place to shop is at my local mall, a store called “Rave” They always seem to have the cutest clothes. They also tend to have wonderful accessories to go with anything and everything. I always stop in for a quick look whenever I go and the sales girl is always polite and willing to help if I ask. I bought 2 skirts and a few tops just last week, when payday arrives this week I plan to go back and buy these cute sunglasses I saw but couldn’t bring myself to splurge on last time. If I didn’t have to pay rent I’d probably buy out most of the store if I could!

Thick Cable Knit Woolen Tights

I’m from Michigan, where the cold wind seems to tear right through a person. This winter season, I’ve been deeply attached to my thick cable-knit woolen tights. These look quite chic with a tweed mini and boots. These woolies are perfect for pulling off a monochromatic look from head to toe, and they stand up well to the rubbing of the boot leather. On especially cold days, an added layer of socks ups the warmth factor. I’m never going back to wearing nylons, what a nightmare. It’s hard to believe women ever fell for that scam; everyday, another three or four dollars down the tubes. What a disaster. If the hose didn’t run while being pulled on, they snagged inside the boots. Others can keep the fake-leg look. This fashionista is staying cozy in cable-knit!

Fashion Bug Clothing Boutique

Fashion Bug is a great Women’s Clothing Boutique; old, young, skinny, and obese. Here one can be able to pick her attire, then be able to find foot wear, and undergarments to match! The clothing are up to date with the latest fashion trends, and the employees are great help if you need them.

Up until last year, Fashion Bug was known to carry Maternity clothing. However, the entire chain has stopped selling this line of clothing; this ultimately sucks. I have purchased many of the Maternity Line, some bra’s, formal dresses, and have purchased many clothing items when they are on sale. Fashion Bug is a great when they have many racks on sale/clearance as you can get more for your money; without spending an arm and a leg doing so!

Roaman’s Womens Clothing

My favorite place to shop for women’s clothing is a website called: www.roamans.com. I am 55 years old and wear a size 1X. Many places only cater to women who wear a size 0-12. Other places that have larger sizes sell things that are not very fashionable. Let’s face it, even plus size ladies like to dress fashionably!

I do most of my shopping at Roaman’s. Last week I purchased 2 fleece tops and a pair of jeans. In the past I have bought coats, tops, pants, dresses and underwear. They have a liberal return policy and usually have some type of sale that includes either free shipping or a percentage off the highest priced item. As soon as the spring sales start I’ll be looking for some spring and summer items. I desperately need some summer t-shirts and shorts.

All of Roaman’s clothes are true to size and in the several years I’ve been shopping there I’ve only returned 1 item. It fit well but the color wasn’t what I expected. They sell sizes medium to 5X and petite, average and tall sizes, too.
