The Thrifty Six: Shawls, Capes & Scarves

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Velvet & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #731
Welcome to November’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book featuring Velvet. I love it. Nancy hates it. Considering the very small number of submissions this month, it seems like only a few folks are in the “love velvet” camp with me. It is a fabric that I have always adored and probably always will. I especially appreciate the luxuriousness of velvet during the holiday season. Thank you to all who have shared their velvet looks with us for this round. We appreciate you! The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book is a monthly series hosted by Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style and myself. Every month, we invite you to share a photo or two of your Good (or Bad) Buy items that fit…

A Very Bunny Halloween & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #729
We had the best Halloween ever! As we were assembling our Christmas tree ghost at the last minute, my sister called to chat. She lives in Pennsylvania (nearly 300 miles from me) and her town had their trick-or-treat night last Friday, which really disappointed her. But she knows how much fun we always have here on Halloween so she calls in to join the festivities. When she called this time, I put the phone on speaker because I needed my hands free to attach the ghost’s eyes and mouth. My sis asked what I was doing, I told her I was putting up my ghost tree, and she asked if…

The Magnificent 8 Restyled
For this quarterly installation of our ageless style challenge, Jodie suggested that we restyle something that we have worn previously for this Magnificent 8 collaboration. I was thrilled with this idea because I had already restyled something and had the photographs to prove it. As it happens, when I took outfit photos for our Simply Red challenge last October, I had restyled the shirt, boots, and jewelry from that outfit with the kimono robe that I had styled the same day for a Style Imitating Art challenge. After photographing these two outfits that were created for those specific challenges, I decided to change into my comfies for the day. My…
