Whatever happened to Style?

Retro 1950'sA month or so ago, just for kicks I posted this photograph on my Face Book page  asking the question, “Whatever happened to Style”?   I couldn’t believe the response I got from both men and women.   Honestly, I cannot remember the last time I encountered a beautifully dressed woman!  It begs the question, whatever happened to the aesthetic pleasure of dressing beautifully.  If  Chic Elegance has disappeared, then how do we go out there and find it once again.

I realize we cannot dress like this for everyday…but let’s try to bring some personal style back into our daily lives!  We could start with some stylish gloves!
