Outfits of the Day #ootd
I love to put together outfits. I find something calming and exciting in the process. And if I think I look good, I tend to feel great! Hopefully, you can find some inspiration here for feeling amazing in your own body.

Celebrating Six Years of Blogging with Ever Pretty & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #237
Six years ago today, I hit publish on my very first blog post. I was so intimidated by the idea of sharing my thoughts in writing with an audience that I didn’t know. In fact, I didn’t think I really would ever have an audience at all. But I wanted to share my journey and my life experiences in a creative way that may inspire others who are walking similar paths. Not wanting to get too deep into the really uncomfortable topics that I often like to approach, my first post was about Church and Church Appropriate Attire. If you have been reading along with me over the last six…

My Road to Cozy Earth & Link Up On the Edge #258
Have you heard of Cozy Earth yet? I have been seeing commercials and ads everywhere touting the benefits of these premium bamboo products that assist with creating a healthy and comfortable sleep environment with their temperature regulating bed linens and their super soft loungewear. My road to discovering the wonderful benefits of this brand is a rather serendipitous one and I would like to share it with you. Back in the late winter and early spring months, I started seeing lots of blogger friends sharing posts about Cozy Earth loungewear. We were all still in stay at home mode and cute, comfortable, quality loungewear was the best thing to hit…

Star Gazing & Your Own Twist Link Up #35
Monica and I are back with our monthly Your Own Twist Link Up. This month we chose Start Gazing as the theme for styling our outfits. Star Gazing is one of my favorite night time activities especially in the summer months when you can lie on the grass and stare up into the vastness of the universe as it twinkles and shimmers and shines right back on you. While Star Gazing may seem like an odd style theme because you really could star gaze wearing anything you want or even nothing at all. If you do opt for naked star gazing, however, I recommend a thick layer of bug spray so you…

The Thrifty Six in Fool’s Gold
This month it was Nancy‘s turn to choose a theme for our thrifty group and she went for Fool’s Gold. The term fool’s gold originally referred to the mineral iron pyrite which has a metallic luster and a pale brassy yellowish hue often mistaken for actual gold. Eventually the term transitioned to an idiom that means a flashy but otherwise worthless investment. Kind of appropriate for a thrifty theme, I think. Not very many of my thrifted items have any value at all other than they are super cute additions to my very rich wardrobe! Perhaps a worthless investment but there is value in the way my new preloved clothing…

3 Common Fashion Mistakes to Avoid
Do you want to look and feel your best in your clothing every day that you step out into the world? I am certain that most people reading that question will answer with a resounding, “Yes, of course! No one actually wants to look and feel bad in their clothing!” However, always looking and feeling your best can be somewhat challenging depending on the wardrobe pieces that you choose and how they fit your body as well as which fashion trends speak to you and your personality. Making daily style choices can be overwhelming especially if you have a closet filled with miscellaneous pieces that lack coherency. This article will…

Yin Yoga Affirmations for Serenity & Link Up On the Edge #257
I want to thank you all for the wonderful feedback on my posts about the yoga affirmations and chakra practices that I have been incorporating into my weekly exercise and meditation routine. I have previously shared Affirmations for Confidence and Self Esteem (Solar Plexus Chakra), Affirmations for Creativity and Sensuality (Sacral Chakra), and Affirmations for Love and Compassion (Heart Chakra). I have been sharing each of these affirmation practices in no particular order as I choose my daily yoga practices based on what needs work on that particular day. Some days I stick strictly to strengthening and/or flexibility sessions which don’t include any sort of affirmation or self reflective work.…

Back to Work Styles | August Stylish Monday Link Up
The theme for this month’s Stylish Monday collaboration is Back to Work styles. Clearly, a back to work style can be pretty much anything depending on your work environment as well as your job duties. Some work places may require a uniform which limits one’s ability to get very creative with their workwear. Unless, of course, your work uniform is scrubs. I have seen some pretty fabulously creative scrubs outfits in my days. But there are no scrubs here today, only magnificently fun outfits for every woman to find some inspiration. And hey, if you do have some cute scrubs styles to share, do link them up at the end…

Adventures in Thrifting Part 12: Leopard Overalls & Link Up On the Edge #256
It’s been a hot minute since I have shared an Adventures in Thrifting post, nearly two months actually. Since I seem to be lacking writing inspiration at this very moment, it seemed like the perfect opportunity for simple outfit post featuring these new to me leopard overalls. A few weeks ago, I was visiting my friend Denise in her consignment shop, Solitary Consignment (the same store where I worked a few years back), when I spotted these adorable overalls hanging on the rack. I jumped on them really quickly only to find that they are a size medium. Y’all, I have not fit in a size medium anything in probably…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Stripes
Between The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book and its predecessor The Bad Buy Book, Nancy and I have been joining together on a monthly basis for nearly five years with approximately 50 different style themes combined between the two series. Yet with 50 different themes, we somehow never featured that ever classic print of Stripes. Well, it’s better late than never and I assume that you all have something striped that you can share with us this month…whether it was a good buy or a bad buy that you will bid good-bye to, we want you to share it with us! What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book? It is a monthly series…
