Fall Prints & Bell Sleeves: 2 Bloggers, 2 Ways (and Link Up On the Edge #18)
Today, I am pairing up again with the lovely Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood as the co-host of my Link Up On the Edge this week. We both styled outfits that included two current hot trends: prints and bell sleeves. And we came up with two totally different but equally fabulous looks! Do hop over to Elegance and Mommyhood to see the details of Ada’s adorable outfit!
If you are not familiar with Ada, let me tell you a little about her. Ada has been writing the blog Elegance and Mommyhood for the past 4 years. She focuses on affordable everyday style for casual stay-at-home mom days, polished work looks, weekend wear and everything in between. Ada also features her adorable daughter Vivian in her Mommy and Me Style posts. She is a firm believer that style and elegance do not have to cost a fortune and shopping your closet is always a great idea. I am honored to say that this is the third collaboration/co-hosting post that I have done with Ada. She is super friendly and creative and so much fun to work with! Thank you, Ada.
I am going to keep this post fairly short because I spent approximately 8 hours today trying to figure why I could not access my own website. For 8 hours straight, I kept getting a “server is not responding” error. Yet every other website I visited was fine. The support tech could see my site perfectly. And so could all of my friends from their own internet devices. Despite rebooting attempts and everything else I could think of, I continued to get the same error. Then finally, like magic, my website appeared. But after the time I would have already published my link up post. So now I am behind schedule. I’m frustrated. And I’m tired. So tired.
So here are some outfit pictures for you. Then your favorites from last week. And finally a link up. Stay sane and enjoy!
Outfit details:

Tunic: Target
Flare Jeans: Gap

Necklace: Walmart
Thank you to everyone who stops by every week and joins my link up! I really appreciate your loyalty and support. I love seeing what you are all wearing, sharing, and discussing each week. And now here are your two favorites from last week:
Julia of When the Girls Rule looking lovely in her Fall Colors.
Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style looking super stylish in her Military Look with Joggers.

Those boots are so cute with the fun fringe and I love your printed top, the color is on trend for fall and the length is perfect! I HATE blog problems, not fun! You need to have a glass of wine after all that!

Thanks so much, Carrie! That’s exactly what I am going to do in about 5 minutes! Except now my 5 year old is hungry (and we just finished dinner about 45 minutes ago when he apparently wasn’t hungry)! Grr… #stallingbedtime

I feel for you on the technical difficulties. They always seem to happen when it’s least convenient (not that it’s ever really convenient, but you get it). Great collaboration … it’s great to see the same style worn side-by-side on different people. Thanks for persevering with the website problems and for hosting.

Thank you so much, Rena! It can be so frustrating when technology works against us, but without it we would never be connecting with each other the way we are. It amazes how far we have come in the past 20-30 years. I really do have a love-hate relationship with it!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Computers are really amazing, BUT when they aren’t working like they are supposed to—it just causes havok!!
They just don’t reason at all!!
Needless to say you look wonderful! And I’m glad it’s working now!

I am sorry for the technical frustrations. You are flared out fabulous both on the top and on the bottom. I love it all, 70s bohemian: flared jeans, flared peasant blouse in hot Fall colors+prints and those fab clogs. I love how our main pieces today are from none other than Target.
Working with you is always a pleasure. Thank you so much for what you wrote, Shell! You are a class act!! I hope you like my post, too.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Loving your post, too, Ada! But I cannot figure out why the link up widget is not working for you! More technical difficulties! Grrr.
You are too kind in your words about me as well! Thank you so much for your support, your friendship, and all the blogging fun! Have a fab weekend!

I love reading all sorts of posts in addition to fashion, Laurie. So allowing all types of posts is completely selfish as it makes it easier for me to find new reading material!! Ha! Thank you so much for the kind comments every week! Have a fabulous weekend!

Yeah, technology, it can drive you mad… I swear all the gadgets and gizmos I have to use suffer from some sort of passive-aggressive syndrome: they’re nasty and moody around me, and when the IT guy comes to see them, suddenly they’re on their best behaviour… But at least it’s Friday. And now it’s my overloaded brain that’s switching off, so let me just say you look adorable. Have a great weekend!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Tiina, thank you so much! Yes, technology. It can be a passive-aggressive bitch, for sure, as you so accurately described! And I have a true love-hate relationship with it at this point. Without it, where would we be? I would certainly never have had the opportunity of meeting so many wonderful blogging people from around the world! I hope you have been able to switch your brain off even for a bit during the weekend! Have a fabulous one!

How frustrating for you not being able to access your blog! I have zero patience with technical problems and often turn the air blue when it happens to me! You got there in the end though. I love your tunic and the 70s vibe with the flared jeans. Those shoes are fab!

I’m so loving the bell sleeves! I’ve always loved voluminous sleeves – they kind of make me want to spin around, hair down, with a free spirit hippy vibe going in! #FridayFrivolity

Such a great image, Jess! Sometimes I think I was supposed to exist in the hippie generation. Instead, I was born a generation or two too late! But I do love the fashion inspiration. Thanks so much for stopping by!
