I am joining my dear friend Marsha in the Middle today for her 10 on the 10th series. Each month, Marsha announces a theme to inspire a list of 10 things to be shared on the 10th of each month.

What We Wear Underneath It All | May Stylish Monday Link Up
As indicated by the title, the theme for this month’s Stylish Monday link party is What We Wear Underneath It All. We were able to choose whatever angle we wanted for this theme. Since I am no stranger to writing underwear reviews or sharing pictures of myself in my underwear, I was happy to share my newest discovery in the world of undergarments. If you are interested, you can read some of my other underwear posts here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. That’s a lot of heres which means a lot of underwear posts.

The Value of Settling into Your Own Style
For many people, fashion is a means of expressing who they are and how they are feeling as well as making a visual statement of their personal taste. I can give you a list of reasons about how redemptive fashion is to the spirit, why it is so important, how it can help us look at ourselves in a new light, why it allows you to relate to others better, and how investing in yourself and your appearance is important. But if you simply just want to look good for the sake of looking good, that is also a good enough reason for settling into your own personal style. You…

I have been wanting to share my favorite tie dye loungewear and this vibrant linen apron for a few months but I have just been so busy recently that these photos sort of ended up being forgotten.
