Festive Outfits | December Stylish Monday Link Up
They told me to be festive and I think I heard them say be silly. And somehow I landed in a place that is festively silly, joyfully jubilant, colorfully bold, and ridiculously bouncy. Y’all, I am telling the truth. This outfit literally made me bounce all day…in the way that Tigger does. “Tiggers don’t jump, they bounce!” Tigger, Winnie the Pooh The double pom poms on my head bounced when I bounced, too, and that’s a really fun kind of bounciness that Tigger would appreciate because… “Bouncing is what Tiggers do best!” Tigger, ‘What Tiggers Do Best’ While this outfit really has nothing at all to do with Tigger or…

Adventures in Thrifting Part 14: White Zara Apron Dress & Link Up On the Edge #274
Back in September, I found two supremely adorable Zara apron dresses on one of my thrifting adventures. The first one I shared was a blue floral print apron dress styled in a very similar way to this white one with a black turtleneck and black chunky boots. I actually styled and photographed this white one first and I liked the layering trick so much that I stuck with it for both dresses. It is the perfect way to take a sleeveless sundress into the colder months. This dress is a very heavy cotton twill material also making it versatile for multiple season wear. The blue floral one is lighter weight…
