Discovering Blue with DressLily & Link Up On the Edge #45
Green is my self-professed forever favorite color of all time. My eyes are a very pale shade of green and my mother always dressed me in green tones because they accentuated the color of my eyes. As a result, I have always loved green. I am always drawn to all shades of green in art, in clothing, in accessories, in nature. But for some reason, my closet is overwhelmed with the color blue, not green. So I was curious as to why this “contradiction” exists. One reason for sure is the limited availability of green apparel and accessories in the market. Even though Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2017…

Shelbee Got Her Groove Back & Link Up On the Edge #44
A little over a month ago, I wrote a post discussing the issue of decreased libido in my 40’s and what I was doing to deal with it. While this post probably received the least amount of comments on the actual blog itself (I attribute that to its title), it was by far my most popular blog post to date, logging the most page views I have ever had and the largest organic Facebook reach. Apparently, it is a topic that, although taboo, is still quite common and the response was overwhelming. A few weeks after I published that post and received the amazing response that I did, things started…

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…
