Denim Overalls and Pearls & Link Up On the Edge #261
I am cheating with today’s post and sharing an outfit that appeared in a July guest post for Carrie of Curly Crafty Mom. Last year, Carrie and I played this little game of fashion ping pong with our denim overalls. While we never consulted one another on styling denim overalls, we always seemed to be thinking along the same lines each time we have both styled them. The very first time Carrie shared her overalls, she wore them in winter with a puff sleeve sweater and beanie hat. I remember commenting on that post how much we were thinking alike because I had just photographed an outfit in my overalls where…

My First Shein Purchase & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #239
I first came to learn of Shein through this blogging community and over the past 6 years, I have browsed the site countless times and always loved all the fun styles offered at super affordable prices. However, I am not much for online shopping from brands that I am not familiar with their sizing or their quality. While I try to avoid fast fashion as much as I can, I am just a girl with a passion for cute clothes and sometimes my craving for something new (and cheap) wins out over my desire for sustainable shopping. This is one of those times when authenticity can be really challenging. I…

The Last Days of Summer & Link Up On the Edge #260
“To say it was a beautiful day would not begin to explain it. It was that day when the end of summer intersects perfectly with the start of fall.” Ann Patchett “Summer’s lease hath all too short a date.” William Shakespeare The last days of summer are winding down quickly as cooler weather has already drifted down upon the North Country. I am currently sitting on my couch wrapped up in a giant cardigan, leggings, big fluffy socks, and my favorite cashmere writing gloves because as soon as the temperature dips down to about 65˚F (18.3˚C) or below, my Raynaud’s Syndrome really starts to torment me. If you are unfamiliar…

If you are planning to move house in the near future, what you’ll wear is likely at the bottom of your priority list. Let’s face it, there are more important things than fashion when it comes to hauling boxes, picking up new keys, painting walls, and building bed frames over a period of a few days. Nevertheless, what you wear for your house move could actually impact how smoothly moving day will go. And it isn’t just about wearing comfortable, practical shoes. Keep reading for what to wear and what not to wear for moving day and why some wardrobe options are better than others. But before deciding on your…
