Adventures in Thrifting Part 23: Purple Robe with Teal Accessories & Spread The Kindness Link Up On the Edge #798
You know how much I love a good thrifting adventure. Searching through the racks for unique and interesting pieces brings me so much joy. You know how much I also love my robes and kimonos. So when I find one in a thrift store, I get so darn excited. It is very difficult for me to resist adding more robes and kimonos to my wardrobe so I really don’t resist anymore. I just buy them all and my closet room is becoming a giant collection of robes, kimonos, ruanas, ponchos, dusters, and long flowy topper pieces as a result. I just can’t get enough, it seems, considering I added five…

Celebrating International Women’s Day with Suzy Turner and The Enchanted Midlife
International Women’s Day has been celebrated for over a century to recognize and commemorate the women’s liberation movement and their fight for equality. We have a come a long way since then but we still have a long way to go. In days of yore, women in midlife who entered menopause were heavily stigmatized as being in a diseased state or “polluted”. Some cultures went as far as to accuse menopausal women of being witches if their sex drive continued beyond their childbearing years. As a result of medical misdiagnoses and uninformed misnomers, women didn’t talk about their conditions or the symptoms they were experiencing during this natural but disruptive…

Spring Living Room Decor & Spread The Kindness Link Up On the Edge #797
I have some more DIY, upcycled, and thrifted home decor inspiration to share. With the weather consistently foiling my plans for outdoor outfit photographs, I have to resort to pictures from inside my home until the snow and rain stop. Last month, I shared my Valentine-inspired living room decor but it was time to make a change as spring is so near that you can smell it. The bulky blanket scarf window treatments started feeling a bit too heavy for this time of year. I had contemplated returning to the brown and teal decor that preceded my raggy Christmas decor but it kind of felt a bit old and tired…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Cropped Sweaters
During the lifetime of this series, we have featured sweaters three times. In March 2019, we invited you to share your favorite (or least favorite) long cardigan sweaters. Then in January 2020, we opened it up to any style of sweater/jumper with a return to long cardigans in October 2024. And now for March 2026, we are taking a different spin on sweaters with Cropped Sweaters. As you know, we are very flexible with our definitions here, so any extra short sweater would classify as cropped. Below is some inspiration from my archives. What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book? The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book is a monthly series hosted by Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion…
