Looking Forward to Simple Summer Living
There are so many things to enjoy about the summer season like outdoor meals, entertainment, and time spent with friends. We can thoroughly enjoy ourselves during the warm weather months if we have ideas about all the fun activities that are available to us. Enjoying summer time doesn’t have to be all about large scale parties and gatherings, it can also be about some quiet time with our families as well as planning activities to prepare for such whimsical outings like picnics or day trips. Something as simple as a walk in the woods during the summer can enrich your mental well being as well as reduce your stress levels…

How to Curate Your Personal Work Style
If you are lucky enough to choose your own work attire (you don’t wear a uniform), you may sometimes start to feel like you are stuck in a style rut. Have you have been wearing the same combination of similar tops and trousers every day? Is it making you feel like you have lost your sense of unique personal style? Being creative with your wardrobe on a daily basis can be time consuming in those rushed minutes of the early morning. But there is a simple way that you can change up your daily outfits if you take a few minutes the night before to plan your outfit for the…

May the Road Rise Up to Meet Us & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #164
“May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back.” Irish Blessing I suppose we could all use some blessings right about now. And while sharing fashion may seem incredibly frivolous in the current environment, I think it is important to keep living our lives as normally as we possibly we can. For me, any topic of discussion that doesn’t revolve around the coronavirus, politics, or the apocalypse is a welcomed topic, indeed. Since today is St. Patrick’s Day which is generally one of those feel happy and good kind of superficial holidays, I am thinking why not embrace the day even more whole…

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Handbags
Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book! Welcome! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. A series co-hosted with Nancy where you can choose whether you want to share a Good Buy (which is an item you are really exited about) or a Good-Bye (which is an item you are going to say good-bye to, previously known as a Bad Buy). We will keep purchasing Bad Buys every now and then for a variety of reasons…it was so cheap, you were in a hurry and really wanted (needed) to buy something, it fit almost quite right. But, of course, we also have those purchases that can make us so very happy. A piece of clothing that you have had for…

Journey into the Weekend & Link Up On the Edge #186
Y’all know I don’t often do straight up “what I am wearing” type of posts. But I have been trying my hand at some seriously deep thinking and philosophical writing this week that my mind might be too exhausted for sharing anything deep today. You will have to check out my profile on Medium to see some of the other things I have been writing. In case you don’t already know this little fact about me, I have my bachelors degree in Philosophy. I also majored in English with a minor in Religious Studies. I share this information because it evidences the fact that I have always had a passion…

Inspired by Nancy’s Fashion Style and Kathrine Eldridge Wardrobe Stylist: Leopard Print and a Musical Rabbit Hole
I know. I know. I just shared an outfit last week that was also inspired by my dear friend Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style. But I didn’t have anything prepared for this week and I have had these photos sitting around since the beginning of February. The outfit itself wasn’t actually inspired by Nancy. I created it all on my own. But then I remembered the way Nancy had styled a similar leopard dress back in December in her post, How Leopard Print and Faux Fur Works Together, and thought it might be fun to put the two outfits side by side. The juxtaposition of these two independently created outfits…

Moontide Arts & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #163
There’s an inviting little shop that has been a spiritual fixture in my small town for the past 20 plus years and I only just went inside this past Friday. Now I am kind of kicking myself for not visiting this mystical emporium sooner. In my defense, it had originally been tucked away in the back corner of the Franklin Building which I don’t frequent. So while I knew it was there and had heard wonderful murmurings about the shop owner as well as the goods she carried, I still never really had (or perhaps never really made) the opportunity to go in and see what it was all about.…

Pantyhose That Don’t Suck: Sheertex Opaque Tights Review & Link Up On the Edge #185
You know how I love my tights. I would wear them all year round if the temperatures stayed mild enough on both ends of the seasonal spectrum. I love the way they feel. I love the way they make my legs look. I love the way they erase all the little blemishes and dimples that appear on these 45 year old limbs. I love the way they accentuate that curve of the calf and the way they highlight the contour of the thigh. But there are a few things that I don’t love about tights. I don’t love if they are too tight or too loose around the waist. There…

Inspired by Nancy’s Fashion Style: What to Wear to Winter Parties
This post was inspired by my very dear friend, Dutch fashion blogger Nancy Baten of Nancy’s Fashion Style. If you are regular reader here, then surely you are familiar with Nancy as well. Nancy and I both began our blogs around the same time in 2015 and we became fast friends from across the world. Three years ago, we decided to join together and created a series, The Bad Buy Book, where readers were invited to join us in sharing bad buy items in their wardrobes. After one year of that series, we expanded it to also include good buys and that is when The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book was born.…

Sick Day & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #162
Y’all, I am so sick. Isn’t it funny how much we appreciate our health when we don’t have it for a few days? This thing started gradually on Saturday night, progressed to fairly bad on Sunday, and now my throat hurts so bad that it feels like I was beheaded and then sewn back together. I have a fever and chills and body aches that are sending shooting pains through my joints. Even my skin and veins ache. And my hair, too. How can a virus make your hair hurt? To add insult to flu symptoms, I just started my period. I know that may be too much information, but…
