Collars & neck accessories are on trend right now… actually, they have been for quite some time and I just love the extra detail they add to a shirt or outfit. So fun for Fall. In 2008 I made a little black lace collar {seen below on the red shirt} and listed it for sale …

begin with an unflattering skirt preferably in a jersey knit * I don’t doubt these skirts will come back in style, and while it does hit at the right point of my knee to flatter my leg, there’s too much going on around the waist, which is supposed to sit on the hips = unflattering. …
