Classic Casual Fall Fashion and Ageless Style

BUT, this post is about fashion to coincide with Cindy‘s and the Contessa’s popular series “Ageless Style.” 

Over the telephone about five months ago, Cindy said in a happy, smiling voice “Hey, Mary Ann!  I want to interview you for Ageless Style!“  Not really a question mark in there.  I hesitatingly said, “Um, OK.”  I mean, we like to support each other.

On second thought! A bunch of photos of just me along with the interview???!!!  So, I spent the next several weeks trying to get out of it.   Cindy wasn’t buying it.  She can be tough.

As it got closer, I told my daughter, Alie of my fears of dumpy photos of me on the internet.   Alie said, “Oh Mom, I read fashion blogs all the time.  This is a piece of cake!  Bring a couple of outfits down when you and Chief visit next week.  And tell Dad to take some photos of you.  All famous fashion bloggers have a boyfriend who is their photographer!” 
When Alie uses this certain authoritative voice (her brother might call it bossy), she is really believable.  You can judge for yourself at Rough Luxe.  Don’t laugh…  I am an amateur!
