One of the things my sister gave me for Christmas was a flannel blanket scarf. I have wanted a blanket scarf for a long time but hadn’t found one in the colors that I wanted. Well, Nancy gave me a classic black and white plaid which goes with everything. So that dilemma is solved! It’s soft and beautiful.

This is my first style post of the new year and as usual I’m sharing the best of Your True Self Blog! If you’re new here, every week I publish a style post late on Tuesday nights to appear on Wednesday mornings and a weekend blog roundup of the Beauty & Style Spotlight Team on Saturday mornings. At the beginning of each year, I present the top ten most popular blog posts of the previous year. As I looked back at 2025, I discovered there are top ten most viewed posts AND a popular style guide as well! In my Shop, I have two style guides so far and one of them attracted a lot of attention. I hope that you will enjoy reading these ten postings and also consider purchasing the featured style guide.
In everything I present, I always like to remind you that age doesn’t matter. When you wear what you love, you’ll enjoy each day of your life more fully!
Below, I’m starting the countdown from number ten to one and then following that up by announcing the featured style guide. Connect to each one by clicking on its headline.
Thanks so much for visiting Your True Self and have a happy 2026!

But you can do so many other things with it: layer under and/or over during the rest of the year, adding as many layers as you want. It makes the slip dress wearable for all. Age doesn’t matter. To warm up during the cooler months, the style components and outfit combinations below show you how to layer a slip dress like a pro.
This is an update on how to layer a slip dress during cool or cold weather. My last post was an update on how to layer a slip dress for warm weather. For lighter and less layers, you see my article on “Does A Slip Dress Really Have to Be Sexy?” For warmer and heavier layers, continue reading below.
