Price "Marc" Ups and Forever Twenty Fun

It's about time a store's display add somebody unique to the mix!



"Trying on" a Marc Jacobs dress at Bloomingdale's.


This is "Muriel Lace" for $348. Divide the current price by 10 and this would seem more reasonable.



Another Marc Jacobs dress, but in a bold color print. 


Here's the Marc Jacobs dress at Bloomingdales.com.  It is called the "Exclusive Super Nova Blossom Knit" dress for $298. It is not worth $298 for its no-nonsense simplicity.  So, it's a super no-no of a buy.



It's time to run-away from the Bloomingdale's runway.


Adding some "shopper chic".

Forever 21 needs a little more attitude!

The Jalie Pony Express

A pair of  Equine-tessential tops


  I just sewed another Jalie 2921 scarf collar pattern, but this time for my daughter, Heather.  I thought by now, she would not want to wear matching outfits, but she still does, especially if it is in a fabric and style that she likes.  




For Heather's top, I sewed a girl's size "9" (Jalie goes by the approximate age of the child) which corresponds to a size "M" on the pattern.  I used the short sleeve version and shortened the tie to much shorter than the one designated for the "M" (much shorter than size "F").


During a weekend visit,  at the backyard of my parents' home, overlooking a golf course.
