A Very Bunny Halloween & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #729
We had the best Halloween ever! As we were assembling our Christmas tree ghost at the last minute, my sister called to chat. She lives in Pennsylvania (nearly 300 miles from me) and her town had their trick-or-treat night last Friday, which really disappointed her. But she knows how much fun we always have here on Halloween so she calls in to join the festivities. When she called this time, I put the phone on speaker because I needed my hands free to attach the ghost’s eyes and mouth. My sis asked what I was doing, I told her I was putting up my ghost tree, and she asked if…

The Magnificent 8 Restyled
For this quarterly installation of our ageless style challenge, Jodie suggested that we restyle something that we have worn previously for this Magnificent 8 collaboration. I was thrilled with this idea because I had already restyled something and had the photographs to prove it. As it happens, when I took outfit photos for our Simply Red challenge last October, I had restyled the shirt, boots, and jewelry from that outfit with the kimono robe that I had styled the same day for a Style Imitating Art challenge. After photographing these two outfits that were created for those specific challenges, I decided to change into my comfies for the day. My…

DIY Corduroy Wrap & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #728
Happy Friday, y’all! Today I am sharing a brown corduroy wrap that I made for myself last summer. I actually already shared this piece for a thrifty style challenge last August when I first made it. I found the lightweight brown corduroy fabric on the clearance shelf at JOANN. I was drawn to the tribal symbols and the little embroidered figures of men on horses, but I also considered that the print might not be very respectful to indigenous peoples. Probably the reason the fabric was on sale. But it was there, super inexpensive, wanting me to buy it because I adore all things that represent the indigenous tribes of…
