Frockology Style Tip:
When working with a blouse and skirt
combo all it takes to dress it up or down
is heel height. To make it more casual
think flats.....to dress it up go for a higher
heel.....and no we don't mean your ex.

When Paul Revere announced that
the British were coming he wasn't
talking about fashion. When they
returned again in was all about the
fashion. This is a perfect example
of British design during the early
1970s.

Frockology Fashion Tip:
When wearing matte jersey always
remember any time you get near a strong
light source the jersey fabric will almost
always become at least semi transparent.
So knicker up or become the next
tabloid hussy.
