This transitional time of year calls for creative dressing. The morning and evening commute or school pick-up and drop-off are downright frigid, but the sun warms your mid-day outings. There is no better way to navigate this tricky style terrain than to re-purpose your mid-season outwear as innerwear.
Pull on your leather, denim and surplus jackets as though they were cardigans or as a third layer over your cardigan, sweater or sweatshirt. Not only will they provide you with additional warmth and variety both in weight and styling for your pre-spring outfits, but they can also allow you to leave the heavy down puffer coat or wool topcoat in your office when you escape for lunch or in the car when you’re running errands.
And, as an added bonus, you’ll immediately increase their cost per wear, which is always a satisfying experience! Happy layering!!

I just read an article that sounded – to me at least – like “a canary in a coal mine” or an early warning of danger. This piece, written by Joe Pompeo, appeared in the May 2020 issue of Vanity Fair magazine with the title “The British Tabloid Invasion” and a subtitle that read, “How the Daily Mail is conquering American gossip.”

Apparently the good old U.S. is a nation of “not great” sleepers. Really? And I thought I was the only one! According to a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention it was revealed that one out of three Americans are chronically sleep-deprived. Yikes!

I think we’re all taken by the incredible mystique of the famous French fashion house, Hermès that has been with us for two centuries and is still owned and operated by the same family. From its beginnings in fine equestrian leather goods, they are – in the tumultuous year 2020 – best known for their handbags and many other items.
My image of Hermès has always been rarified products at equally rarified prices so imagine my surprise when I recently received a very stylish publication of theirs in the mail.
