I have been giving a lot of thought to my new business and what might help women who are having a little trouble putting outfits together from their own closets, letting items go that don't fit or they haven't worn in years and facing the daunting task of buying new things that go together and will perk up their wardrobe.  I think sometimes at the bottom of all this discouragement and uncertainty is a basic disatisfaction with their bodies and how they look and feel.  I am hoping to offer suggestions and ways to overcome this negative body image and help women to begin to look at themselves with new appreciation and self-confidence.  All comments and suggestions are welcome. One of my favorite verses is this one:

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.  Psalm 139:14

Love the lucy Walkabout Pant and Capri!

A couple of years ago, my husband and I were in San Francisco where I discovered a great store for buying activewear.  It is called "lucy" and you can find locations and merchandise at www.lucy.com.  I went in to buy a nice pair of yoga pants (stepping up from my Target pants) and ended up getting yoga long pants, yoga capris, and some exercise tops.  But the greatest find was the lucy Walkabout Pant and Capri. 



They are kind of a hybrid of exercise pant and casual pant and I have worn mine running errands, out to lunch, hiking, traveling, walking and exercising.  They are soooo comfortable, but look very neat.  The fabric is water-resistant and they come in 3 different lengths.  It was so nice not to have to get the pants shortened.  They are perfect for wearing on an airplane - not heavy material, comfortable, deep pockets and keep me warm.  Check out the lucy website - they have some great stuff!

Great jeans

We are just back from Jackson Hole, Wyoming and had a fantastic time.  I packed way too many clothes (had to check my bag at the airport), but I wanted to cover all the different activities we might do.  Recently I had purchased new black So-Slimming Slim-Leg Jeans from Chicos and found them very versatile on the trip.  I wore them out to eat, shopping, and even out looking for wildlife after dinner.  You can wear them with flats, wedges, heels or boots.  They make me feel slim and comfortable at the same time.  I highly recommend!
