Harvest Witch & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #723
I am feeling all sorts of witchy energy swirling about as the fall equinox is quickly approaching. Last week, I shared a whimsically witchy outfit in bright summer hues perfect for the final days of summer. However, the arrival of the equinox does not guarantee that the temperatures will begin to drop. We are still experiencing intense summer heat and humidity so I will be sticking with my summer wardrobe until the weather dictates a change. Featuring rich shades of browns, rusts, and golds with a mixture of prints including mandalas and paisleys, this outfit reminds me more of a harvest witch than a whimsical one. Actually, it would have…

Whimsically Witchy & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #722
I have been feeling both whimsical and a little witchy lately which has led me to this magical outfit combination of wild prints and bold colors. I recently ordered this medallion print trapeze dress from an end of season clearance sale and I seriously can’t stop wearing it. It is comfortable like a nightgown but perfectly appropriate for most any occasion. The mornings are getting much cooler now as we are making the transition into fall so I definitely wanted a long sleeve kimono robe to top this wild dress. What better topper to choose than an equally wild one bursting with pattern and color. This kimono was purchased from…
