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.

Extra SIA Bonus Outfit | “Gosh! Do I Look as Old as All That!” by Dr. Seuss & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #706
When I first shared the artwork for this week’s Style Imitating Art challenge, I mentioned that I had photographed two different outfits to represent the Dr. Seuss painting that I chose. I was unable to decide which outfit better reflected the artwork so I shared the first outfit that I photographed on Monday. As I was getting dressed for that first set of photos, I spotted this floral dress hanging in my closet and the colors perfectly captured the essence of the painting. So I decided to photograph this one, too. Since I had nothing planned to share with you today, I figured why not kick off the holiday weekend…

The Magnificent 8 in Peach Fuzz: Pantone’s Color of the Year
Everyone seems to be raving about Peach Fuzz, Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2024, but I am not one of them. In fact, I have very little in peachy hues as it is one of the least flattering colors on me. And I don’t think I am alone on that. Although Pantone is recognized globally as the leading source of color expertise, this year’s expert analysis certainly didn’t include someone of my complexion or taste preferences in their data. The internal consulting service known as The Pantone Color Institute™ forecasts global color trends which assist companies through product development using color as a strategic asset. These color experts have…

The Thrifty Six in Denim Days
It was my turn to choose this month’s thrifty theme and I went for Denim Days for a variety of reasons. I probably wear denim the most frequently at this time of year as we transition from winter to spring and the weather is still cool. I also have a lot of thrifted and preloved denim items which would make it easy for me to style a denim based outfit without shopping for something new. Ironically, however, I never did style a new denim themed outfit for this challenge because the weather has been complete shit. It has been raining for days, the ground is all muddy, the sky is…

The Great Mushroom Takeover & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #700
I wore this crazy outfit a few weeks ago to run errands and had no intention of even photographing it until Archie said I looked like a mushroom. This made me laugh and so I insisted he take a few pictures of me. Today seemed like the perfect day to share this fungus-inspired outfit since the masons are coming this afternoon to inspect the chimney and hopefully guide us in the right direction for remediating the mushroom in the ceiling problem. In fact, I am wearing this tee shirt and earrings today for the occasion. It is much too warm for all the rest of it. I bought myself this…
