Violet, the New Spring Trend



Violet, the New Spring Trend


I love jewel tones, so I was excited to learn that one of the new spring trends is violet. Violet is a lovely color that complements blues, reds, greens, and of course black and white.

It didn't take me long to start searching for a new spring top I could wear all year long. I discovered that Covered Perfectly has a rich shade of violet in their women's clothing line. 

When my Fit And Flare Top arrived, I smiled. The violet was exactly what I expected, and I loved the new V-neck style, perfect for statement jewelry.

The slimming effect was evident the minute I slipped on the top. Because it flares out, I was confident I would feel comfortable wearing jeans, jeggings, leggings, as well as my dress slacks. No worry  with bulges showing or bumps created by bulky jeans. This top is going to be my go-to pick for a casual day or an evening out on the town.

Not only is the top attractive, the Micro-Modal fabric is really comfortable. It's a silky fabric that is resistance to shrinkage and fading. And the 6% spandex gives me stretch for additional flexibility.

The outfit below is with jeggings. I chose a red scarf to contrast with the violet in the top. I also chose a ballet style shoe that happened to be a purple shade.


Notice that the Fit and Flare top skims my waist and hips, so I can feel confident that no bulges or rolls show.

My second outfit is with distressed white jeans. I can wear my jeans and know that the bulkiness is well hidden.


I added a statement necklace and black sandals for a casual look. I can wear this out to lunch or a day of shopping. Furthermore, the Micro-Modal is perfect for warm weather. It stays cool when the heat rises.

The Little Black Top

The Little Black Top
We all know the little black dress or LBD is a fashion staple because it is so versatile. You can wear it dressy with heels or casual with a jean jacket. So why not a little black top, as well?
It should be versatile, comfortable, and flattering. I have found the perfect little black top or LBT, and it's made by Covered Perfectly.

I have talked about Covered Perfectly before and shared information on their jackets, scarf vests, and other tops. As you can see, I love their products.

Covered Perfectly was founded by Pauline Durban who was looking for flattering clothing for the mature woman. Frustrated with the limited choices, she decided to create her own online company that is dedicated to fashion for women over 50. 

The top I chose, as one of my staples, is made from micro modal. The material is soft and comfortable. It's also versatile and flattering, all the details I want in a little black top.

The Power of Jewelry

The Power of Jewelry
Whether I'm going out to dinner or running to the store for groceries, I always remember to add a necklace, earrings, or bracelet.
It's amazing how often people will focus on a necklace and begin a conversation. I've discovered this while at the deli in Publix grocery store or checking out at Walmart. Jewelry is such a great accessory and conversation starter.
Recently, I was at a Trim Happy Mama meeting and a lady complemented me on my necklace. I told her I purchased it at Beall's clothing and loved how it popped with even my tees. She admired it, but said she never takes the time to wear jewelry. It was sad because she had on a lovely top that would have shone with a  necklace of the same color.
I'm so convinced that jewelry is a powerhouse that I convinced my sister to add more of her hand made pieces to Daisy Street Boutique. Below are a few of her necklaces:

The Perfect Bra

The Perfect Bra
Today is the longest day of the year; and therefore ladies, it means we will be wearing our intimate apparel longer than most days. Now, I'm not one to talk about intimate items, especially bras, but I'm making an exception today.
I found a bra that is the best and most comfortable bra I have ever owned. I discovered it by reading another fashion blog. I immediately went to the manufacturer's website, but then spent more than a month trying to decide if I wanted to spend the money for this super bra. Finally, I did and I couldn't be more pleased. 
It doesn't matter whether you are an A cup or a DD cup, this bra is made for the lady who is experiencing some back fat. That's right, many of us do not have a streamlined back. We deal with bulges whether big or small. Now, honestly, can you put on a bra and not see some bulges in your back or sides? Or, can you see bra lines when you wear a clingy top? If you don't have any of these issues,  then th…
