Happy Mothers Day to one and to all, but especially to one Susi Q
This one’s dedicated to you and all the other Grandmas out there.

Two Perilous Pratfalls to Avoid
Age can be interpreted as a frightening prospect. Much in life, including fashion, seems to be geared to green inexperience. In response, many choose to become stationary, refusing to allow any progress into the dark unknown. Below are two examples of this tragic misstep.
1. Dressing to a favorite decade
The 80’s might have stroked your pretty little ego. Your hair might take to a perm like a soul mate while your thighs inspire envy in the Dynasty Dames. But digging your heels into a past decade, be it flattering to you personally or not, makes you look stale. You might as well stamp an expired date on your forehead. Just because you don’t want to wear the trends of the current season, doesn’t mean you can get away wearing the trends of a past.
2. Avoid the Fashion Uniform
13 shades of a single velour running suit isn’t acceptable. Velour suits of any type are adorable on little ladies under the age of 5. And chances are they’re going to change their ensemble by the afternoon. I’ll allow you one velour running suit for house-wear only, if you agree to select a variety of ensembles, preferably purchased within the last ten years. You and your wardrobe need to continue to move forward. Age is nothing to be afraid of. It is waiting with wisdom, class, and internally achieved beauty. But you will never be able to own these prizes if you don’t step forward to claim them.

I love this fitting room friday! You and your mama are so cute! I love your red dress as well. It is gorgeous.
I watched Studio 5 today 9/11/20 and was interested in the jeans you picked for Lanae from Madewell $65. I do not like skinny jeans because I have a pear shape body (short legs/long torso). I went to the Madewell sight and could not see anything that I thought would work for me and they were all very expensive. Could you tell me what style you used on Lanae?
Hi Terrie, thanks for watching and great question. I found the Madewell 10-inch High-Rise Skinnies we purchased for Lanae on sale in their Fashion Place store. They don’t have that exact same pair available online, but this pair is very similar with a bit more stretch – https://bit.ly/3k70BgM. It’s currently $40 and 40% off ($24). If that doesn’t match up with your size, there are also several other options that are very similar in their sale section. The biggest thing you want to look for is at least a 10-inch rise and a dark wash. If you are petite or short-waisted you could opt for a 9-inch rise. I hope that helps 🙂
