I found Dixie of Inside Outside Beauty and was blown away with her unique style and besides that, she wears hats...What a delightful presence and completely chic...I think this is one to enjoy..

It's exciting to see more women of colour in the fashion industry, and, of course, to have clothes for a wide variety of bodies.Your reply

Hi Inge, a video on Pitti Uomo at the end of this post - in case someone else loves menswear (and Italian accents) as much as I do :

My husband sent me this link. I needed something and there was a mall across from the workwear store he wanted to visit. So we went. I hate malls, don't shop there and don't like either going out aimlessly shopping nor trying to find a targeted HEWI item. We entered through Boscov's and I thought it was delightful. I've been in one of their stores a time or two in the past and also found it enjoyable. It had a cheerful feeling. And though I didn't stay to shop - only because the 60% off pair of shoes I fancied wasn't cut the way I like it - I would definitely go back... for fun!
Can't believe I think that.

"Shopping has to be fun," Boscov said.
"It's not that you need anything. Shopping is entertainment and should
be fun, and we have to remember that"

for Crutcher: read something just yesterday - article about history of sneakers? - that dropped in the idea that women started becoming very interested in shoes once hats were no longer a form of self-expression.
I wear hats quite often and maybe that's why I like my shoes to pipe down.

Inge, I so adore hats and unfortunately I am the only person in the mall, or grocery or church or whatever in a chapeau...Maybe shoes will get boring and there will be an upsurge of hats...

The story has been trending on Facebook:

I sort of have mixed feelings about it - wonder what other fabbers think.

I'd like to share one of Autumn's posts that really resonated with me, since this is exactly what I have been feeling as well.

http://www.the-beheld.com/2015.....mment-form

"How you look, your stance, your hair, your makeup, whether you appear pretty, your sex appeal: all of these things that coalesce in my brain, and maybe yours, to form a hum so low and so constant that I take it as a state of being—and when you want, they disappear. When you want, the want goes to the fore. The you can take a backseat."

Crutcher - Definitely do not give up hats!! They can add so much impact, and I wish I looked better in them.

Yup, that's the link. Thanks!

Inge, try this article for figuring out what hat might look great.
I think depth or flatness of crown can make a huge difference.

Comfortable yet stylish shoes without heels: a recurring topic on YLF...Here is a roundup.

(I know I'm just allowed one, but in keeping with my "Gentlewoman" style persona I'm adding some inspirational menswear looks from actual men, in case someone else picks the shoes too.)
