A collection of posts on style and related topics… musing, inspiration, analysis of fit, products reviews and so forth. It’s a style clinic along the lines of the clinic in my hometown: only open a few hours a week with no actual doctor on staff…. enjoy!
Morning wiener dogs, you little Cheetos of the the canine kingdom. Speaking of stuffed sausage, and hot on the heels of yesterday’s post regarding the display of curves and waist, I thought it only right and proper that I do another curvy-girl tights road test. This one goes COMPLETELY against my usual MO for photos on this blog...

Greetings honeybees! As I type this, I have a sleepy, slightly sick basset hound fighting for lap-space with my laptop. Silly basset hound. The computer has the word lap IN ITS NAME!! I don’t know about you wasp-waisted stinging insects, but one thing I’ve learned since I started blogging (and seeing myself immortalized in...

Hello there majestic bison. Queens of the prairie. Causers of Custer State Park traffic jams. It’s fall and you know what that means. Tights. The bane of early fall mornings. But necessary for those of us in chilly cities like Minneapolis. And for any of you out there who can’t fit into those super...

Good morning, you freakish fowls of non-nature, bred to have XL-sized legs, all the better for, um. Perhaps this is something you should discuss with your Gold’n Plump representative…. Let’s talk boots, shall we? The leaves are falling and the wind is blowing and I am pulling on the boots every day. From fall...

Greetings all you sub-par tinkerbells. Today I just have a short tale of a retail MIRACLE!! Unlike the rest of blogland, I’ve only been half paying attention to the Missoni for Target hub-bub. I knew it was coming, in fact, I had a vague idea that it was here, thanks to Twitter, but it...

Good morning you orangutans with your freakishly giant hands. I have them too. They aren’t big enough to palm a basketball or anything, but they’re too big to fit into a lot of the bracelets available at my favorite retail establishments. Let’s investigate that a bit more today, shall we? OK. First off, my love of...

OK, late-in-day post for all you sleeping hounds! I don’t have a lot for you, except a little more plotting for my fall wardrobe! As many of you know, I often style each finished garment three different ways for the reveal posts. I do this partially for fun, but also to ensure that I’m...

Greetings tutu-wearing basset hounds! In what is possibly my most narcissistic post yet, today we’ll engage in a tournament style showdown between the 21 skirts (well, skirt-based outfits) worn during the month of May in order to determine the best style skirt for me. We will also have a short discussion on how I...

Greetings snipes! After countless summer nights hunting for you 20 years ago, I’ve finally found you! Tonight I’m ready to unveil my mini-wardrobe from the Hobby Lobby fabric haul, accompanied by a belt and a tank top also purchased while on our recent road trip. The belt and tank came from a giant retailer...

Evening penguins. Much like yourselves, I’ve been thinking a lot recently about formalwear. Honestly, I think you guys take it too far, what with the tuxedos on every minute of every day, but I really thought of all animalkind, you would really understand where I’m coming from. So, a classic wardrobe. There’s usually a...

Morning duck billed platypodes! Some interesting facts about platypadillos – there is no universally accepted plural form, and saying platypi is a hatchet job of inappropriate Latin endings on Greek words. Also, Platypodes (the technically correct plural Greek form, according to Wikipedia) are one of the few venomous mammals. And here I thought that...

I have good news and bad news. The good news is if you’re in the mood for a blog post that meanders aimlessly with no finished projects to show off or clear direction as to fitting trousers, you are SUPER in luck. The bad news is that I didn’t bring enough popcorn for all...

Alrighty, jackrabbits. First up, old business. Yes, Lady Katza, I’m planning on doing a quickie how-to on making the sweetheart Sencha. And for those who suggested that I start draping (Andrea? K-Line?) I was sort of thinking of that too – except that I’d have to get a dress form. And then I’d really...

A little bit of sewing, some how tos, vintage love and a quest for the perfect fit. Hi! I’m Patty, a thirty-something living in Minneapolis with a cute little house, husband and basset hound, 3 cozy snug bugs.
