Maternity Fashion Then and Now...

We could talk about how the lingo has changed from Biblical times to now...from "being with child" to being "preggers". Instead, I would like to do a little flashback in history and discuss maternity wear. Above is an old photograph... Continue reading

Back in the day...Pink Saturday.

Let's say it's 1976 and I am 15 again. I would have swooned over this dress in the store. Why? Well, first, it was from Riff's. Riff's was the exclusive downtown dress store where ladies who had social engagements...you know...teas,... Continue reading

This past weekend I wore my newly made favorite peasant top. I have it pictured on my blog now. An older (in her 70's) lady rushed up to me to tell me how adorable I looked and how nice it was to see someone expecting wearing an appropriate top and not one of those shirts that hug the pregnant belly! LOL! Well, I'm NOT expecting, but told her I was flattered since I'm really past the childbearing age, so not to be embarrassed and I would take it as a compliment. Anyway, all this to say...I never thought in a million years of wearing a peasant top tucked in! It looks great, and I may give that a try, although I just love the freedom of my peasant tops letting it all hang out too...I don't want to feel like I look pregnant either. Love your blog and visit often!
