How to wear the wrinkled linen look and pull it off

Linen, it’s such a great fabric. It’s all natural, breathable and cool, but the thought of looking wrinkled in it has given it a bad rap!

Have you ever thought to yourself, “I’d love to wear linen but I can’t because it wrinkles so much.”  We spotted this Age-Mazing© woman, Stacey Inglis at the airport recently traveling with her daughter and could not take our eyes off her. Wow… in the sea of hurried travelers this woman was looking radiant in what seemed to be a linen outfit. Could this be? We stopped her for a quick chat!

Stacey, do you wear linen often?

Yes! I have had this jacket for several years and it’s one of my favorites!

Where did you get it?

It’s an Anne Klein…so probably at Macy’s.

What about your skirt and blouse and shoes?

The skirt is Carole Little and this blouse came from Express! (the blouse is a halter wrap around, so you you don’t have to tuck it in!)

The shoes are Via Spiga…they are so comfortable!!!

Your necklace really makes your outfit! Is there a story behind it?

LOL… Well I just bought it on my trip and the funny thing is, I was reading Cosmopolitan Magazine on the plane just now, and here it is featured on page 65!

Oh my… is that a Lalique bracelet?

Well, I love Paris and last time I went I treated myself to one special thing… you know this bracelet probably cost more than my entire outfit, but I like to mix things up!

One last question, do you always dress nice like this?

You know, I find that it is just as easy to put on something like this on than a pair of jeans, and I’m actually more comfortable. You don’t have to spend a lot on clothes to look nice!

Well you look terrific!

So ladies… the proof is in the pictures! By injecting some linen and wonderful accessories into your wardrobe, you may be a little wrinkled but you can still look FAB!

Anne Klein Fall 2008

Saw some great sexy, very wearable Anne Klein clothes at a recent fashion show at Verity in Toronto and wanted to share the pictures with you for inspiration.

Here’s what was coming down the runway for Fall/Winter 2008. << Isn’t this sweater darling?

Grey definitely seems to be the color of the season! Notice the hat>>

We wrote about this kind of hat in our last newsletter>

Always love a simple sheath! Also, gloves everywhere.

Grey can be hard to wear if you are warm skin toned, but you could pair grey pants or a grey skirt with a purple jacket like this. >>

I (Deb) bought this purple jacket>>>

Brown was also hot and we love this coppery shade of brown, below. Big jewels are also in.

Here’s a trench with a similar finish. Nice for the holidays.

These are beautiful, no nonsense clothes that make you look look fab.As the late Anne Klein, herself, neatly put it, “Clothes won’t change the world. The women who wear them will”.
