I am just loving the contrast of these colors, the blues , and the plum I think they run together quite smoothly.

Now the next thing would be which one of you fashionistas would or could pull this look off, if you have something similar in your wardrobe? If you have a quirky fun kind of thing going on in your closet, then give this look a try.

Pleats Please, as I understand is a new brand by Issey Miyake , but that’s not the topic of today’s post. I wanted to mention how much I love pleats. I mean don’t get me wrong they look fantastic, chic, brings out the beauty in a garment or curtains, or even furniture upholstery , but why are they so darn hard to perfect when hand sewing them into a “garment master piece to be”!

I’ll have to be honest , when I used to sew back in the days ( late teens, early twenties) not that I’m that old now 😉 , I surely wrecked my share of garments trying to make a pleated master piece. From what I’ve recently learned is that if you’re going to attempt to make a pleated garment by hand , then it has to be perfect step by step, or else if you miss one step then you’ll have to start all over :0 ( now how many normal people have time for that?!).

The other way to perfect pleating is to actually use a pleating machine , which I didn’t even know existed , and if I had known back then, maybe I could have purchased one and saved myself some unnecessary headache!

At any rate I love pleats and I think they are an essential pattern that every woman should own in a garment. Pleats can be worn formally, casually and any way in between.

I’m so happy someone came up with this awesome idea for carrying women personals. I know I was  tired of taking my handbag to the girls room with me. So ladies you can now hold your head up high while your out at a restaurant , night out ,or at a gathering, during those “little visits” to the restroom and no one will ever know what’s in the little Femi Tote.

coming soon to Sole Shoe Boutique http://www.shoesolesboutique.com
