Foot Ache? Maybe it’s time for a pair of orthotics… When the shoe doesn’t fit right, tips to wear it

Foot Ache? Maybe it's time for a pair of orthotics… When the shoe doesn't fit right, tips to wear it Dear Sharon: Lately, My feet are starting to ache during the day and my shoes just don't feel like they are supporting me correctly. The pain is really not that bad, more of an annoyance than a real hurt so I'm afraid that if I see a doctor I'll get screamed at for wearing my heels. Any Advice? (Charlottesville, VA) Sweetie, I'm a shoe junkie with gnarly feet who is married to a podiatrist— you have come to the right place! While not the most stylish of subjects, comfy shoes can make all the difference in the world and there

The best black leather jacket… Does black really go with everything?

The best black leather jacket… How to wear a leather jacket and does black really go with everything? My 21-year-old daughter tells me that I am wrong! She thinks her black leather jacket does not "go" with a colored sweater and jeans, so she chose to "freeze" today instead of wearing her leather jacket here in usually much warmer central Florida. I grew up in Chicago where people do not own five different colored winter coats because everything goes with black. Am I wrong??? My daughter also tells me that one does not wear black with brown or even black with blue. Please help us settle this argument. Thanks for your input. (Lakeland, FL) Jeez mama mia, seems like the

Afraid to upstage the bride… What to wear to a wedding, or maybe not

Afraid to upstage the bride… What to wear to a wedding, or maybe not I am going to a wedding reception in the Outer Banks this weekend. I have this spectacular dress and I am not sure if it is really okay for the occasion. The wedding is of an old family friend and she has always been pretty wild. All I know about the event is that it is at 7PM and the plates were $35 per person. Okay, to the dress… It is all over silver beads and sequins on grey chiffon with spaghetti straps and a plunging neckline. It fits like a dream but there is quite a bit of skin. Ahh... I like it sooo much

The Baby Doll Clothing Trend… Is it age appropriate fashion when you're middle-aged? I am 55 years old, but I'm told I look 45 - who knew?!

Feeling right in a swimsuit… Flattering swimsuits to build self-confidence

Feeling right in a swimsuit… Flattering swimsuits to build self-confidence All my life I've worn those bathing suits that cover just as much of my body as regular clothes do. The other day I decided to try on a regular bikini type bathing suit, just to see how it would look. It looks GREAT on me, and I'm not that ashamed of my body like I used to be, but I'm still embarrassed to go to the beach or anywhere else while I'm wearing it! I need more self- confidence. I won't even show it to anyone besides my mom, who tells me it looks great. How can I get used to showing that much skin in public?(San Diego, CA)

 My butt sticks out, there, I've said it! I've got a rockin' Sir Mix Alot kinda ass on a petite white girl frame.
