Eye-4-Style

A friend of mine wears fabulous blouses that look like she just put them on, even at 5:00 pm! She told me they are Brooks Brothers Non-Iron blouses. A real no-iron shirt? She swears by them. Recent shopping on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach brought me to Brooks Brothers and I decided it was time to check it out. The blouses come in various styles and colors. I purchased a fitted non-iron stretch long navy (which I’m wearing with black leggings) and a light lavender blouse. A blouse is so versatile with jackets, cardigans and accessories. You can dress it up or down. I’ll report later how well I think the non-iron works. I’m a fussy dresser and iron just about everything, so this will be the true test! My friend is enthusiastic about them so I’m anxious to try them out.

Last week I found myself in cold, rainy Chicago weather.  It’s not that Chicago is a southern city, but the Midwest has experienced a cool summer followed by a cold autumn.  Hmmmmm……… hope this winter won’t be like last year’s!  Anyway, while checking out retail on Michigan Avenue, I was pleased to see what trends we will gladly follow this year.  THE BOOT IS BACK – big time.  While we’ve all worn boots, it is a MUST HAVE this season.  I had many compliments and inquiries as to the pair of boots I was wearing, which are the “riding” boots I bought from Brooks Brothers last year. (See previous posts for boot “reveal.”)  I’m also happy to see leggings and tights/stockings in many fabrics, colors, designs.  I think a lot of women will be warm and feeling quite stylish this winter!
