Snoopy dance!

The denim peacoat has arrived--and it fits! (Okay, so I have to open the bottom-most button if I want to sit in it, but still!) It looks damn good, better than I expected, actually. I've got to pick up a cheap digicamera so I can post some fashion pix.

Although "fashion" is probably a bit of a misnomer. "Style" is closer to what I have in mind. The way I think of it, fashion is the trend of the moment, some of which I may dabble in, some of which I know better than to attempt. Style, on the other hand, is personal. It's what I wear and how I combine it with other things to make it *my* statement.

Elements of my style:
Layering a shell with a shrug or l/s shirt
Skirts will hit below the knee, period
Better loose than too tight
Great accessories: chunky jewelry, interesting handbags, and hats, hats, hats!

Things in my closet (Skeletons aside):
Solid colors (much more often than not)
Quite a bit of denim---jeans, shirts, dresses, a skirt and a vest
Men's clothes---because honestly, does it really matter which way the damn thing buttons?
Great accessories: chunky jewelry, interesting handbags, and hats, hats, hats!**

=================
** No, that's not a misprint---accessories are ESSENTIAL.
