How Many Prints is Too Many? & Link Up On the Edge #323
If this outfit looks familiar to you, it’s because I have shared if before with the now dissolved Stylish Monday group for a post featuring Spring Trends. I bought the sweater and pants at Indigo Sun, a cute little boutique in Asheville, North Carolina, which specializes in festival wear, fair trade imports, and regional and local art. The sweater and pants were displayed in different areas of the shop but when both pieces individually caught my attention, I realized they were perfect for each other. As we were heading into spring at the time of my purchase, I thought the outfit would be fabulous for spring and summer festivals. As it…

17 Ways to Express Gratitude This Thanksgiving Season & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #302
With Thanksgiving just two days away, I thought I would share a list of thoughtful ways that we can express our gratitude this holiday season. Gratitude is a conscious and positive emotion that exhibits a readiness to show appreciation for the kindness of others as well as thankfulness for any and all good things, tangible or not. But the conscious act of gratitude is much more than just practicing good manners. Gratitude requires recognition and acknowledgement of the goodness in others as well as the ability to be actively thankful for all of the positive things in our lives. When we make a conscious effort to recognize and appreciate the…

The Thrifty Six Are Not Angry Birds
I think Nancy stumped us all with this month’s thrifty theme of We Are Not Angry Birds. But we rose to the occasion and conjured up a gorgeous array of avian inspired looks that are sure to make you smile. I generally take style challenges fairly literally which would have led me to wearing a bird print or maybe feathers. But this outfit came together long before I had the chance to do some research for my literalist approach. I mean, what is an angry bird anyway? And how do I ensure that I am not one? I am familiar with the Angry Birds media franchise with those furious feathered…

Songful Style | “Witch Doctor” by Ross Bagdasarian & Link Up On the Edge #322
When we first began this songful series in February, I was sharing a detailed post about the next song prompt the day following my outfit post for the previous song prompt. But then I realized that the whole thing is forgotten long before it’s time to share the next musically inspired outfit for anyone who wants to play along with us. So I decided to push these posts out to the middle of the month as a reminder if you want to join the fun. Even if you don’t want to join the fashion fun, this next song prompt is sure to get your body moving for the day! It…

Neutral November & Your Own Twist Link Up #50
I have transitioned out of Halloween mode from last month’s Your Own Twist into a neutral take on fall fashion. As much as I adore all of the beautiful tones of rich earthy fall colors as they make their way into our mid-autumn wardrobe rotations, there is something really special about a combination of gorgeous neutrals to stand out against a muted fall background. As the stunning colors of the changing foliage become more drab while the leaves lie too long upon the ground, it is the perfect time to brighten things up with winter white while matching my background with a mix of leopard print and ditsy floral. Now…

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Workout Wear & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #301
This month’s exercise is next month’s health. Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book! The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book is a series that I co-host 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). Every month you can choose which item you want to submit, a Good Buy or a Good-Bye. We will provide the theme for each month. Photos should be submitted to us by the 10th of the month with a few sentences explaining why it is a Good Buy or Good-Bye. The theme…

I know that I have been saying the same thing each month, but seriously, how quickly the time is passing by! How has another month already gone and we are a third of the way through November?
