Vogue 1257




This is Vogue 1257 which I made in February of 2012. It's a sweater knit from JoAnn's. I scored the cute faux suede booties recently at Payless. I've never really like the "dress-booties" look but thought it could possibly work for me with an opaque textured stocking. Love the look!

Before I get caught up in a particular trend (remember my aversion to trying maxi dresses) I like to make sure that it's still age appropriate for me. At nearly 60 years old, I don't want to be that "old lady" that is trying to hard to hold onto her youth and is only making a spectacle of herself. The hair, jewelry, and shoes could be on the verge of looking ridiculous on me. It wasn't until recently that I found out people found my style "flashy." I'd never even thought of my style that way. Edgy maybe but never flashy. Now that I do know I'm still doing me. I figure as long as I'm doing that I'm still safe! Please stop me if I get "out there" too far.
