Murder She Wrote Style

I never thought of Jessica Fletcher as a snazzy dresser. Low heeled pumps, loafers, brogues, paired with classic skirts, bow-necked blouses and soft sweaters. Scarves, sweater vests, soft jackets and pleated pants. 

Her causal look was often straight out of an L.L. Bean catalog. Looking back I now equate her style with warmth and comfort. Just the thing for curling up with a good murder mystery or working in the garden. 

Checking out Pinterest it seems I am not the only one nostalgic for her simple style. Plenty of blogs dedicated to the show and the clothes she wore. 

She was like your grandmother, but better dressed. Always ready with a slice of apple pie and a cup of tea. 

Sometimes you need that simplicity.

Fuzz Free

Part of saving money and being stylish, is not having to throw away clothes due to pilling and fuzzies. I use a sweater shaver on all my sweaters and items that pill. It will save you so much money in the long run. This is the type I use, but there are so many types, just pick what you like.

Mending Things

I had found a super cute skirt on eBay that was the exact skirt in a board from Pinterest. 

I bid on it and won. The seller then messaged me to let me know that she found a couple holes and did I want to cancel. I said no, because I had plans… bwahahaha!

This is the skirt after I embroidered over the holes. So cute!

Would you have cancelled the purchase? 

I am trying to make do and repair so this was a way for me to keep something out of the landfill.

This is one outfit I have planned so far

What do you think?

I’m a Classic Girl, In a Trendy World

Trendy clothes are so much fun and I love them when I see other people wearing them. Me, not so much. Every time I try something trendy, it ends up in the donation box. I just don’t feel comfortable. 

Right now I am loving JCPenney(on my no buy now that I found out they donated to Trump), Old Navy/The Gap for inexpensive classics. All Winter is on clearance so it is the time to buy for next year. I am especially in love with cable knit sweaters. I just can’t get enough!

Are you Trendy, Classic, Romantic, Gothic or something else? Do you stick to one style or do you mix it up? Let me know!

Flapper? I Barely Know Her!

I am playing a part in a murder mystery play. While I am trying to make my dress, I went ahead and ordered one from Unique Vintage just in case I don’t have it done in time. 




 I have the shoes and a cute wig, so I am pretty much set.

I am so excited as this may be the only play I am in this year. With my sister in laws health being bad, I need to be available to help her.

Color Coordination

The skirt I dyed a few weeks ago is such a good match for my green shoes. Today feels like Spring and I am taking advantage of it. Short sleeved shirts, kicky skirts, cute flats. I hope the nice weather sticks around.

How is the weather in your neck of the woods? Are you ready to bust out your warm weather clothing?
