I have to tell you that ...Thank you, lovely Paula! I have to tell you that I've become a lot more conscious of the subtleties of fit and proportion since I've been photographing my own combinations. What I used to ignore, I address, and that's all for the good. Much of that requires alterations. I've always had to do it with pants, and it's extending to more of my wardrobe these days. <br />There are also some killer tutorials on YouTube that have helped my skills so much. Old dogs, new tricks!Jan Graham-McMillenhttp://www.fortsmithstylista.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864029619879531761.post-71142693627220183092014-02-13T12:08:01.521-06:002014-02-13T12:08:01.521-06:00I dressed just to get out the door at our very ear...I dressed just to get out the door at our very early hour ... we'd done just what you did. A long evening before at the restaurant, and very little sleep. Didn't intend to be photographed at all, but the empty lot and store tempted me to climb around like a kid. Dan was dismayed, but took the photo anyway. If I had foreseen it, I would have dressed better!<br /><br /><br />The quality sure is a trade off. What you pay for with these collaborations is a little of the designer's process and mindset. Not even the mid-range, pret-a-porter experience that most brands offer, but a hint of it. And, you don't pay much after all, so the value is relative. I'm really interested in the ideas that drive designers, so these collections are a step up for me from most retail here.<br /><br /><br />So true that the lines often look very different than in print or online ... it has to be a go-see or it's a no-go!Jan Graham-McMillenhttp://www.fortsmithstylista.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864029619879531761.post-91698643404251454252014-02-13T11:36:34.292-06:002014-02-13T11:36:34.292-06:00So, sweet, Zalina.

My intent was to talk about my expereince with an aspect of the limitations of life in deeply rurual South Central. Here, the Gurung and Lim collaborations had a different effect. In both of them, there were extremely limited sizes ( only one or less frequently two only each size per piece) and given that, I got the only ones sent to the area in the pieces I wanted. I haven't seen any of them here but mine, and have had some nice comments on them. Addtionally, there are only 9 stores in Arkanasas, and 236 in California, so that makes for a lot more clothes on the streets, even with the vast population differences. <br /><br /><br />Interesting how different experiences can be, depending on where you live. Frustrating for me, as well, but we work with what's available.<br /><br /><br />So happy to have you stop by.

I'm destined to be a fashion voyeur, but that doesn't keep me from striving for a little style. And so many women understand what I mean by that. (That might be a post in itself ... going to write that down ...<br />okay, I'm back.)<br />In the Phillip Lim collection from last fall, I was convinced that I really wanted a particular dress from the line. When it appeared in our little store, I was delighted, but when I tried it on; yikes!<br />It fit but the fabric was stiff as sail canvas. I was glad I'd been able to actually try on the garment and feel the fabric before I bought it. <br />Thank you for your support and kind comments.

Pity it was a bit disappointing to you.<br />Sometimes I feel sad, because we haven't any good store here at the Island and if I want something a bit more "different" I have to shop on-line, with all the inconveniences of that or else when I travel to mainland, I try to buy something. But with our crisis and the salary cuts I can't go so many times as I used to. Moreover we used to stay at my mother in law's home, but now that she passed away we don't have any free place to stay (so more money to spend, less money to buy).<br />Well, but I LOVE your picture, you look so cute.<br />Thank you so much for linking with Très Chic Style Bits<br />Hugs dear<br />xoxoSeeker .noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864029619879531761.post-14286176423051413922014-02-12T14:17:35.781-06:002014-02-12T14:17:35.781-06:00You inspire me to start shopping at Target.
