Goodwill Good Buy of the Week
This week I’ve chosen a vintage dress that  defies the odds. On first glance, this dress seemed out of date and unremarkable. But over time, it has won me over. Let me tell you why, dear readers. The long sleeves on this dress by Alison J (Petites!) aren’t exactly long. I’m really out of touch [...]

A tall fall order
2 CommentsGoodwill Good Buy of the Week
The fall J. Crew catalogue has arrived at my house and I have finally stopped drooling all over it. It’s hard not to love the classic, almost back-to-school looks for fall. I recently found this pair of pants by the same maker at our Rockville store. To be honest, I grabbed them for myself without [...]

Boys to Men
Recent menswear collections, dear readers, have left me more in the mind of Little Lord Fauntleroy than Cary Grant. What’s with the knee britches, bow ties, and – gulp – skirts that have passed for menswear the last couple of years? I don’t know, and I don’t really care, because Fall 2011 is shaping up [...]

Guest Blogger: Seasonless Trends
Each October, I say goodbye to the sunshine and pack away Summer’s must-have pieces. But while I must bid adieu to my sundresses and sandals, there are a few pieces that I can hold onto a bit longer. One of the biggest trends this Summer was the striped tee. An homage to our nautical heritage, [...]

No More Brown Bagging
What? Is the DCGF denying her green living ways? No, of course not. I just mean to say that brown bags are so boring for fall. A girl needs color in her life, no? Of course you’re going to be wearing lots of chocolate browns in velvet, tweed, and the like once cool weather rolls [...]

Meanwhile, it’s a beautiful day outside…so quit staring at this computer screen! Go get some fresh air! Take a walk! People watch! Buy something new for your fall wardrobe! Just some thoughts… Goodwill’s [...]

London Calling
Oh, thank goodness for our fashionable friends across the pond. Just when I was dozing off while flipping through the last pics from NY Fashion Week (sorry Marc, sorry Donna…just not feelin’ it this season), along comes London Fashion Week and with it all the comcomitant frippery and frivoloty that one expects from runway shows [...]

There Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

Well, dear readers, the major fashion weeks have all wrapped up and we’re left with nothing but memories. And tons and tons of pictures. And a bunch of reviews. Oh, and a few blurry videos shot on cell phones. But that’s all. It was fun while it lasted – and we’ll do it all again [...]

Ahh…it’s so good to be back in DC. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my brief flirtation with NY Fashion Week. But this Wednesday, September 12th, is the world premiere of The Fashion of Goodwill Virtual Runway Show and Online Auction – and who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?! We’re also lucky [...]
