Look Alike Day & Your Own Twist Link Up #43
You might be wondering about Look Alike Day. You also might be thinking that Monica and I look nothing alike in that cover image. Although Monica and I have inadvertently dressed alike for previous Your Own Twist themes (my favorite time was when we both wore giant unicorn heads), this time we were not meant to look like each other. National Look Alike Day happens every year on April 20. I do not think it is a coincidence that it falls on 4/20 because it is the silliest of silly holidays but it is also one of the best holidays. This holiday celebrates those individuals who look like another person.…

The Thrifty 6 in Bold Monochrome
We finally had a few reasonably mild days where I could bare some skin for outdoor photos which worked out perfectly for our April Thrifty 6 style theme. Lucy has chosen bold and bright monochrome which is easy to do with a solid colored dress and accessories in the same color family. I realize that I have been styling lots of pink for these thrifted challenges recently, featuring the color in pastel for February’s Tickled Pink theme and a super vibrant shade of pink to Brighten Up January. The trick with these thrifted challenges is that the piece that is meant to satisfy the chosen theme should be preloved. But…

7 Tips for Summer Style Inspiration
Spring has finally arrived which means summer is not very far behind. In the world of fashion, spring is merely the pregame show for summer style but the last two years have been tainted by a tiresome pandemic which has drastically changed our style and limited our fashion choices in many ways. But I am declaring 2022 as the Summer of Style, a season filled with celebrations, barbecues, festivals, and travel, all calling for their own special fashions to make this summer one to remember. The change of seasons generally calls for a few wardrobe updates, but as we begin returning to a more normal way of living this summer,…
