Fashion Forward with the DCGF
Dear reader, I think it benefits all of us when I admit I’ve done something stupid. We can all learn from my fashion mistakes! A few weeks ago, I was shopping at Goodwill and showing off my finds to a certain employee who has a big hand in keeping this blog on its feet. She [...]

Down to Earth Footwear
Last week, dear readers, I decried the seemingly unending parade of gravity-defying platform pumps that future generations – if using only People and US Weekly as their guides – will assume that all women wear all the time.  I concluded my rant with this “Gimme something that’s more wearable, and more unique, and I’ll gladly [...]

The Year That Will Be: 2011
No doubt every new year brings with it a measure of sartorial stress, and if you’re like me, there’s one big question weighing heavily on your mind…and your clothing rack:Â Will my favorite fashions fall hopelessly out of style in 2011? Â To that I answer a resounding NO! Â Unless you’re a slave to trends – which [...]

BEST of Guest Blogger: Kids and Thrift
Years ago, when my oldest daughter was three, she received a five dollar bill from her grandmother to take shopping. We went to a certain upscale chain retailer. Excited to have her own money to spend, my daughter found nothing that interested her in the five-dollar range. Three-year-olds don’t jump for joy over breath mints [...]

Pencil This On In
Perusing a fashion magazine this weekend, I was struck by the predominant length of the hemlines for spring: to the knee! Hmm… Have we finally said good bye to miniskirts and maxi-dresses? Probably not, but Prada‘s current ad campaign (there’s one look, at right) has me wanting to stock up on pencil skirts for warm [...]

First Lady Of Fashion
It’s quite amusing to many of us that so many publications are talking about a new, fashionable Washington, D.C. because for as long as I can remember, finding those words in the same sentence guaranteed that one was telling a joke. This town – outside of some circles like the embassy crowd – has never [...]

Oh, Horror of Horrors
So last night, dear readers, I found myself at a Nordstrom private shopping event. You know the drill: anybody who spends a certain amount of money over the course of a year gets invited to shop after hours while sipping crappy chardonnay. And in this economy you don’t have to have spent that much, trust [...]

Capra Hircus Laniger
Ran into an old friend on the bus the other day, dear readers, and he had on the coolest cashmere-blend winter coat. I’m talking great color, great cut, great fit. I was a tad jealous, I must say, even though his men’s coat wouldn’t fit me. But it got me to thinking about cashmere and [...]

This Should Be Easy…Right?
Today, dear readers, yours truly the DCGF has on a very cute black empire-waist dress and – wait for it – turquoise shoes. Now don’t get me wrong: I love to add a touch of color via my footwear and accessories. But I’ve been searching…nay, I’ve been on a quest to find a great pair [...]
