A Blog about Life Style, Fashion and being Transgender. Rhonda's Escape Blog started on July 19, 2015 as a fun way to share my passion for fashion and attempts to communicate why I feel that my life has been "extraordinarily ordinary". Surely a contradiction of terms, but somehow I see myself as a contradiction.

Barbie inspired pink does not seem to going away for spring and summer. Even my lingerie store has a larger than normal supply of pink bras, bralette and panties. Be still my heart!
At least for the short term, it is going to be a wardrobe staple and feminine differential. I like wearing my blazer with a slight roll-up of the sleeve. It looks less dressy and casual especially with jeans or shorts. Most any shoes work from pumps to sandals.
Shown are four ways to dress-up and dress-down a pink blazer ..read more

I am a proud “Baby Boomer”. In the 60's and 70's, collectively we changed the world. If something didn't look right, we tried to make it right. We protested, we marched, we made noise, and we made people take notice. Some of us went to jail, some of us lost our lives. But we held strongly to our beliefs. We believed in peace and love not war or hate. And we made a difference.
The sixties defined the era of social upheaval, and we Baby Boomers led the charge through activism, social change, and freedom. Baby Boomers opened eyes to social attitudes with ..read more

My Note: We all have our reasons for getting dressed up. I am casual most of the time (jeans / tee) and work is black pants and black top (store uniform). However, I look forward to raiding my closet (Pinterest enhanced) and getting out to an elegant restaurant, play. or just an evening with girlfriends. It is part of the "Feminine Differential" I write about and adore. I don't think I will ever grow weary of this routine.

I will not be convicted by a jury of my peers - Still Crazy After All These Years.

Florida House dress code: No skirts more than an inch above the knee. Is this 2023?
My Note: My state has gone mad! In my post on the Skater Skit, tongue-in-cheek, I mention that in Florida could "Fashion Police" coming soon. Well here it is...
Opinion:
You might have the right to bear arms,
but not to bare arms.
The Florida House, not content with creating an election police force, banning books in schools or regulating women’s bodies when it comes to pregnancy, has apparently taken on yet another enforcement role: fashion police.
Women, say goodbye to your sleeve ..read more

I talked about the ease of styling a "Chambray Shirt last year. It is one of my wardrobe go-to-looks especially with white jeans even in summer. See: Feminine Differential - Chic Ideas to Wear The Chambray Shirt
Here is what's the "Take It From Nicole" blog said about the look
There’s nothing more classic than white jeans and a chambray shirt! This outfit is one I wear on repeat. I love the pop of color with the pink Longchamp bag but you could always be more subtle with a plain brown one. I love that this can be casual or work outfit.
I have paired this ..read more
