Retro Fall Fashions in Eye Candy Colors

Yasmina Greco Collectif Clothing Fall Dress Crazy4Me

Oranges, reds, yellows, greens, black, wine, and even shades of pink are just some of the gorgeous autumnal colors nature creates for us to enjoy. This post is all about sharing some of these standout colors that I like to call eye candy because they evoke a pop of sweet joy when I wear them and see them.

A black dress can certainly be appropriate for Fall especially when it has a print as beautiful as this one with orangey-reds and turquoise blue-green. This dress is the Trixie Midnight Lily Swing Dress from Collectif Clothing in the UK. The dress is made from high quality cotton sateen and has a lovely sweetheart neckline and fitted waist for the 1940s-1950s bombshell look I love. The sleeves are ¾ and perfect for Fall time here in San Francisco.

My feline friendly outfit is another Fall favorite of mine. I love novelty prints and the border print on this skirt has the most adorable kitty cats. The skirt started off as a dress that ended up being too small and wouldn’t go over my chest so I had a seamstress convert it into a skirt for me and now I can wear it often. I like the green color of the skirt and paired it here with a bright orange sweater, leopard print purse and dark brown cardigan and I feel like I am wearing several autumnal colors in one outfit!!

🍎Perfect in Plaid at the Pumpkin Patch and Apple Picking🍎

Yasmina Greco Apple Picking Fall Sonoma County

Every year I look forward to a visit to Hale’s Apple Farm pumpkin patch and with everything 2020 has brought us, I looked forward to that visit more than ever. The patch is adorable and even some spooky fellows, also has an adjoining orchard so apple picking was also on the schedule.

I wore this lovely red plaid dress from Collectif Clothing and was so comfortable on this cooler Autumn day. The dress has a full swing skirt, pockets, a vintage style boat neckline and princess seams. I could twirl in this red check beauty all day!! After all the wildfire scares in California, it was amazing to spend a day with my hubby Gary in the fresh air and surrounded by Autumn.

There were lots of families and children visiting the pumpkin patch and everyone socially distanced and wore masks. It was so fun being amongst people rather than seeing them on Zoom meetings all day and we could all enjoy the seasonal activities of Autumn.

Apple picking was next on the list and boy oh boy did they smell sweet and yummy!! I couldn’t find my basket so I opted for my vintage Cathrineholm lotus bowl that held many more apples than I thought it would. I’m thinking of making some apple strudel or apple crumble to use up the apples.

Lots more Autumn, Halloween, and other goodies are on the way to the blog…. And the holidays are coming too!!

Collectif Dolores Doll Dress Yasmina Greco

“Life isn’t always perfect but your outfit can be”

Having an hourglass figure is not always easy to dress because finding clothing that nips in your waist and compliments your curves is not usually something you can find at the local shopping mall. When I discovered The Dolores Doll dress from Collectif Clothing it immediately became one of my go-to styles.

Yasmina Greco Heart of Haute Spring Woodland Daisy Estelle — Yasmina Greco wearing Heart of Haute Woodland Daisy Skirt Estelle Blouse

Hello, Spring is calling!! I am sharing my lovely Spring outfit from Heart of Haute, a brand known as the voluptuous gals best friend when it comes to clothing that perfectly fits curves.

I love bright colors and pastels and this twirl skirt from Heart of Haute is everything!! Skirt is so comfortable and made from high quality cotton so it holds its shape beautifully while being lightweight. Also, this skirt has nice deep pockets and I was able to easily add my iPhone Xs Max and lipstick with room to spare! The skirt print is called Woodland Daisy and it’s so bright and cheerful and I love the colorful flowers which makes it a breeze to mix and match tops and cardigans. The skirt has princess seams, sits right at your waist and zips up the back. I am wearing my standard 2XL skirt size and it is so comfortable.

Mod Mint Day in San Francisco

July 2, 2018 By: Fan

A fit and flare dress is universally flattering on a number of body shapes while making legs look longer and showing off your waist. This aqua blue beauty with a stunning border print of San Francisco in particular from retailer Modcloth in collaboration with one of my favorite vintage-style brands Collectif Clothing made me swoon from the first moment I saw the Collectif MC Golden State of Mind A-Line Dress online.

Living in the Bay Area this dress was an absolute must for me!! It arrived very quickly and I could not wait to put it on and shoot it for you all. I was not sure exactly which size to order but I followed the online size guide to fit my bust and am wearing the dress in size 20 (UK) and it fits my curves perfectly. Dress is available in sizes 4 (UK) – 28 (UK). It is so wonderful that Modcloth has beautiful clothing for us plus size gals. There is room for my ample bust, it has pockets, and the skirt is so full and gives me such a feminine silhouette and makes me want to twirl, twirl, twirl.
