When the weather is terribly cold even in California, we all need to dress warm, but we don't want to look heavier. That's why I'll never put on a puffer coat. A faux-fur-trim coat, on the other hand, can bring just as much warmth but won't add any bulk.

My faux-fur-trim coat even has a nipped-in waist, which is quite flattering. Isn't it fantastic to look slim in a coat?

Pantone has named peach fuzz as the company's choice of color for 2024. Peach fuzz is quite a flattering color that can make your skin look peachy, especially if you are fair-skinned like me. Case in point: I'm not wearing any make-up except tinted lip balm, not even BB cream or CC cream, in the photo displayed here. 

Red is always a popular color when it comes to holiday dresses.  It's particularly a chic choice this holiday season. So, why not dress in red for your upcoming holiday parties?

Thanksgiving is around the corner. In case you need to dress up a little for a Thanksgiving dinner party, a latte midi dress would be a chic choice. Shades of brown are trending right now, and they can go together nicely for colorblocking, which is always figure-flattering.

What can be more in tune with entertainment news than dressing as Snow White this Halloween? Why not make a statement about the Snow White controversy? 

Whether you are anti-woke or not, a Snow White costume can flatter your figure, because the puff sleeves will make your waist look smaller by contrast, only if you pay attention to the shoulders though.

White shirts never go out of style, and they are particularly popular this fall. When the weather gets cooler but not yet too cold, a vest over your white shirt would be perfect.

Plaid returns almost every fall. It's no exception this fall, when red is the it color. Why not pick a red plaid print then?

Polka dots have never really been out of fashion, and they are particularly trendy this fall. So, it's time to invest in a polka dot blouse.

When it comes to polka dots, the bigger they are, the slimmer they will make you look. However, huge polka dots may look too exaggerated. Those about the size of US quarter dollar coins should be big enough, as shown in my photo.

Late August is a good time of year to visit a grape-laden vineyard. It's also when to start thinking about transitional pieces, a category to which wide-leg jeans can belong.

Back-to-school sales are not just for kids. Adult women may be able to get good bargains from the junior department during this time of year. Stetchable junior T-shirts in particular can work for adult women.
