You are a polished lady. <br /><br />This is why I read your blog, to help me remember what my dear (Southern) Grandmother wanted me to learn. Alas, back in those days I thought I knew everything. <br /><br />Navy blazer - I'm putting that on my list right away. <br /><br />No more sweat suits, around here that's almost all you see on the moms (but is anyone doing much actual excersize). <br /><br />Keep these great posts coming Miss Janice. (Personally, I need the help catching up to your gracious Southern standards).M.

I agree, I always try to match my shoes and handbags. I was laughing at the belly-button piercings and tongue stud remark. This sparked a very interesting conversation with a older gent in the lobby. He was curious what I was reading and we had ourselves a good laugh at the inappropriate attire we see these days. Then a young gal walked into the lobby with a eyebrow peircing and sat across from us. We both looked at each other and began to giggle.midnight macaroonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04881376824966373767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691615549993586603.post-5923705272400331832010-09-13T18:05:11.170-04:002010-09-13T18:05:11.170-04:00I still have my copy of the original preppy handbo...I still have my copy of the original preppy handbook from high school!

This possibility was especially relevant on your previous post regarding what to not wear after Labor Day. If you think you are possibly her reincarnation, let me know and I'll add you to my Christmas list!!

I agree with these rules as well. My Aunt Virginia Lynn, whom until fashion school, was the most put together fashion icon that I personally knew, and she always matched her handbag and shoes. Lately though, she has been relaxed in that area. I suppose it's not as important to most.

FYI, if you like Austin Reed, Scotland House, Ltd. in Williamsburg has their Austin Reed on sale. They told me that it is not being made any more. They had a small variety of sizes. When what they have is gone, that is it. I bought a navy skirt and a black skirt. I wish that they had a red skirt, but they didn't.Tammy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13592824307657474960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691615549993586603.post-2655640447068629332010-09-12T12:20:51.287-04:002010-09-12T12:20:51.287-04:00I just found out that I won that book in a giveawa...I just found out that I won that book in a giveaway and cannot wait to read it! :)Sherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110420412281024292noreply@blogger.com
