Circus Vibes with Rosegal & Link Up On the Edge #43
Since my last two posts were a bit on the deeper side, I am sticking with a straight outfit post today. This is mostly because my brain gets wiped out when I get too intense. So on with it…how freaking adorable is this dress from Rosegal? *This is a sponsored post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are completely my own. If you have been following my blog, then you already know that I have a bit of an obsession lately with vintage-inspired dresses. You also know that I like to keep things on the edge. When I saw this bright mint colored dress with the big, bold stripes and…

Let the Birth Month Celebrations Continue & Link Up On the Edge #42
The month of May has always been a month of celebrations for me! The main reason is that it is my birth month. And I believe more in birth month celebrations rather than just birth day celebrations! Because why celebrate your life for just one day, when you can celebrate for the entire month? Eh, what the heck, we really need to just celebrate our lives every damn day! Then I met my husband and his birthday is also in May. He was very confused the first time I introduced him to the concept of the birth month celebration. But during that first month of May that we were dating, he…

Finding the Beauty Around Me with DressLily & Link Up On the Edge #41
I am attempting to get back into the swing of things after the last few weeks of craziness. As I sat down at my keyboard to begin drafting this post, I found myself completely lost for inspiration. But I have an outfit with a shirt that I am obligated to show, so show you I must. But I wanted a theme, a message, something inspirational or important to share with you besides a cool top. And my cool top has a really cool tree on it, so I did some random Google searches about trees to see if it would lead me to something inspirational. *This is a sponsored post. I…

Dressing Up for Easter with Rosegal & Link Up On the Edge #40
I rarely dress up for Easter, maybe once every 4 or 5 years, but this year I may be going all out on my Easter outfit! When I saw this cobalt dress with a swan print available from Rosegal, I knew it had to be mine! To be honest, I was torn between the blue and the red (the blue appears to be sold out now). I have been wanting a red dress for some time now (it shocks me that in my extensive wardrobe there is a not a red dress to be found). But the cobalt blue just kept calling to me as so perfectly Spring-like. And blue…

So Many Hats & Link Up On the Edge #39
How many hats do you find yourself wearing? And do you have trouble finding a healthy balance in the constant changing of your hats? Figuratively, I wear so many hats…I am a mother, a wife, an Army spouse, a sister, a friend, a small business owner, and a blogger. And there are so many little hat changes that happen within each of these jobs because, as you all are well aware, each job has a million different responsibilities that go with it. Outfit Details Coat: Old Navy (No longer available, but cute Spring options here and here). Pants: Target (No longer available, but similar options here and here). Sweater: Kohl’s…

Better Late Than Never & Link Up On the Edge #38
I mentioned in my post on Tuesday that we were headed to the airport to pick up my husband who was finally returning home after 78 days away. I had big plans of photographing this adorable dress from Rosegal at the airport. I thought it would make the perfect backdrop for the vintage style dress. Plus the red, white, and blue with the bold stripes are in some way reminiscent of an old school airline stewardess, no? But the weather apparently had another plan. *This is a sponsored post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. I got all dolled up to see my husband for the first…

Stepping Into Spring with DressLily & Link Up On the Edge #37
*This is a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Have I mentioned lately how I am longing for Spring? There is still snow on the ground here in the North Country with more forecasted for this weekend followed by some warmer temperatures next week with lots of rain. At least it will wash away all the snow. And warmer is a relative term here. I still can’t go with bare legs or bare toes. But that’s all fine since my toes are a wreck from being cooped up in socks and boots all winter! Time for that first Spring pedicure! Have I mentioned lately that I want all…

Countdowns of Spring & Link Up On the Edge #36
We are just coming out from under a mountain of snow here in the North Country. I saw on the news that many areas ended up with much less snow accumulation than predicted from this Blizzard of 2017. However, the opposite happened to us. It was predicted that we would have 7-13 inches of snow in our area. Ha! We got in excess of 2 feet! I suppose the upside is that we are accustomed to such huge amounts of snow accumulation anyway. But all the snow had finally melted and there was actual grass to be seen just a few days ago. As a result of said blizzard, I…

OOTD: Mint and Purple & Link Up On the Edge #35
Today, I need to share with you this color combination of Mint and Purple. Never in a million years would I have paired these two colors together except my friends over at COTD Style had challenged me (and everyone else) to create an outfit incorporating Mint Green and Grimace Purple. And I have to say…I love the result! When I saw that Mint was part of the challenge, I knew I had to wear my mint trench coat that I picked up on clearance last year at Gap Factory. The temperature is still in the 20’s here in the Arctic North Country of New York State, so I knew I…

How to Wear a Dress Over Jeans & Link Up On the Edge #34
All the pretty Spring fashions are on the racks and are oh so irresistible! And my Spring wardrobe is whispering sweet nothings in my ear as I long for warmer temperatures so I can bring them out of the closet and into the sunlight. But alas, it is still too cold to wear short sleeves and dresses without leggings. One way to start wearing those Spring dresses and stay warm is to layer them over jeans. You have seen my LulaRoe Carly dress on the blog before here in the beginning of Fall when the weather was just starting to cool down. Today, I bring you the Winterized version of…
