The Thrifty Six Celebrate Summer Birthdays
Emma challenged our Thrifty Six group this month with Sumer Birthday Party Outfits! Summer is such a great time to have a birthday or any other type of party. It makes hosting celebrations so much easier when outdoor space and activities are available. Of course, one must always prepare for rain, especially where I live. While we generally experience very mild summers, passing rain showers are a regular threat to any type of planned outdoor activities. My immediate family doesn’t have any summer birthdays. In fact, all four of our birthdays happen in spring. When we lived in Pennsylvania, I would have declared spring as the best season for a…

7 Best Services to Get a Georgia Cannabis Card Online in 2026
Yes, I live in New York where all uses of cannabis, medical or recreational, are legal. But there are still 26 states where recreational use remains illegal and 9 states that have not even legalized medical marijuana. Georgia is one of those 26 states that requires a medical card to legally purchase and use marijuana products. I have been a passionate advocate for the benefits of marijuana products for decades, so I like to share a variety of pro-cannabis information every once in a while. This one is for my Georgia friends. If you’re a Georgia resident living with intractable pain or PTSD, you’ve probably already read that the state’s…

Adventures in Thrifting Part 28: Mint and Brown Floral Kimono & Spread the Kindness Link Up On the Edge #816
Lately, I have been going on a lot of thrifting adventures. I definitely don’t need any more clothes in my closet, but sometimes I get bored and enjoy a little hunt in the thrift store. Plus, most of my favorite retailers no longer have physical stores in my area and I really don’t enjoy online shopping as much as in-person shopping. I like to try on clothing and touch and feel the fabrics before purchasing. And I really hate returning things. I don’t know why but the whole process of returning items to stores makes me really uncomfortable. It always has. So I try to avoid it if possible. Most…

Black and White Pajama Outfit Restyled
Last week, I shared how I transitioned my Bridgerton Brunch outfit to a summer boho look with a few simple changes to my accessories. This week, I wanted to share another easy outfit restyle featuring the black and white nightgown that I shared with you all on Tuesday. This restyle was really quick and easy. We were going out to dinner the day I wore the first styling and it was getting cooler as the evening hours approached. Plus air conditioning in restaurants often makes me too cold when I’m wearing my lightweight summer layers. So I decided to add this oversized open knit black and white sweater. I have…

Walmart Pajama Style Take 3: Same Nightgown, Different Print
I really prefer my fashion to be a tad bit slower than the one season throw-away products offered by fast fashion retailers. But Walmart is being cute and enticing me to break my own code of style ethics! When I buy fast fashion items, I try to counteract the long term effects of such purchases by wearing those pieces for many years instead of discarding them in favor of the next new trend. Since I am not much of a fad follower anyway, it’s fairly easy to accomplish this goal. Until my closet gets too overwhelmed with new additions. Then some closet weeding is needed…which I just did this weekend.…

Adventures in Thrifting Part 27: Crazy Orange Culottes & Spread the Kindness Link Up On the Edge #815
Do you remember my Bohemian Fruit Bowl outfit from two weeks ago? It featured a newly thrifted tie dyed dress in safety orange layered over my yellow and green geometric print bell bottom pants. I mistakenly mentioned in that post that I had styled the orange dress over these crazy orange culottes that I found on the same thrifting adventure. It turns out that I tried the two pieces on together in the thrift store and at home but then I never photographed the outfit. Instead, I ended up photographing this wild combination. I wore this outfit out for a lunch date with my husband a few weekends ago and…
