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.

Inspired by Elegantly Dressed and Stylish: Red Sweater Dress for the Holidays
For my entire life, literally for as long as I can remember, green has been my favorite color. But ever since I started this blog, which obviously requires lots of photographs of myself, I am realizing that while green might be my favorite color, red might possibly be just my color. Over the past few years of blogging, I have been adding more and more red items to my closet. I will often add bits and splashes of red into my outfits which tend to be heavily anchored in black. But every once in a while, I will step out of the black and into the red and what better…

What Not to Wear for Airplane Travel
My last two posts have included photos from last Friday when we drove Jeff to the airport for a two week work-related trip to Georgia. I sure hope he is enjoying some warmth and sunshine down there because it has been nothing but rain and snow up here. I am already dreaming of spring, but winter hasn’t even officially arrived yet! I decided that since we were going to the airport, we might as well take the opportunity for some blog photo shoots with different scenery. You can see Radical Ralphie’s photos in Monday’s post. I was hoping for outdoor photos along the way, but due to our time restraints…

The Sunday Afternoon Quarterback #14: Taking a Break with RV Share
Today’s Sunday Afternoon Quarterback post is going to be a little different from the norm. A lot different actually. In fact, there won’t be any college football highlights at all. This weekend is the college football conference championships, the outcome of which will determine Penn State’s bowl game destination. Since Penn State is not playing this weekend, I wanted to take the opportunity to spotlight an amazing company which has been sponsoring our Sunday Afternoon Quarterback posts all season long. However, I have only added a short sentence here and there linking to RV Share for those readers who may be interested in a luxury style tailgating weekend at their…

The Best Day Ever: Thanksgiving Memories to Cherish for a Lifetime & Link Up On the Edge #174
Thanksgiving this year might go down in the history of me as one of the most memorable ones ever. I will cherish it forever and I do so hope that all other holidays can measure up. It’s funny because as my sister was planning the menu and the guest list and our activities for four days spent together, she gave me this warning…”I am afraid that my expectations for Thanksgiving this year are of Hallmark caliber.” And we all know that when expectations are set too high, we are usually let down…even if it is just a little. This time, however, I think our expectations were exceeded. And that is…

Inspired by Living on Cloud Nine: Plaid Blazer and Pink Furry Coat
Today’s outfit is not a recreation of another outfit, but rather it is a truly inspired concoction built from statement pieces styled by the fabulous Andrea of Living on Cloud Nine. I have been completely awed by Andrea’s sense of style since the very beginning of my blogging days. She is one of the over 40 bloggers whom I discovered in 2015 when my husband was deployed and I was looking for an online community of stylish women my age. I would be up late into the night after the children went to bed, so very lonely, and I would scour the internet for women just like Andrea. Many of…

The Sunday Afternoon Quarterback #13: We’ll Get By With a Little Help From Our Friends
#10 Penn State Nittany Lions 27 – Rutgers Scarlet Knights 6 Moving into the last week of the regular season, we saw Penn State shooting for its third 10-win season in the last four years, a feat that hasn’t happened since the 1993-1996 seasons. Along with the 10-win season, the senior class was looking for its 41st overall victory as a group, another accomplishment that hasn’t happened since the Penn State teams of the early 1990’s. This achievement was easily within reach with the Big Ten’s worst team visiting Beaver Stadium on Senior Day. Although Rutgers kept it tight until the 4th quarter, this Nittany Lion senior class walked out…

Restyling My Wedding Dress for Thanksgiving Day
First, I want to wish all of my American readers a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving! We are hanging out at my sister’s house today in our most comfy clothes, stuffing our faces with all the delectable treats. Recently, I restyled my wedding dress for a photoshoot and seeing as it probably won’t fit me after all the holiday food consumption, now is great time to share it. My tenth wedding anniversary is quickly approaching…January 23 will mark a decade of wedded bliss with my favorite soldier. Being married to a man in the military means that we are both married to the military. Once again, my husband will be…

Radical Ralphie is the Bomb & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #150
Last week, I introduced you all to a new series here at Shelbee on the Edge…Radical Ralphie: The Boy Fashion Blogger. And if you recall my post from last Tuesday about Unexpected Gifts, you may recognize this adorable little bomber jacket that Mireille of Chez Mireille so generously gifted to my style crazed 6 year old. He can be finicky and rather stubborn when it comes to his clothing. Actually, he can be finicky and stubborn when it comes to just about anything in life. As such, I wasn’t sure if he would be overly excited about his new jacket when it arrived or if he would toss it to…

The Fab 40’s are Mixing Prints like Pros
Before I started writing this blog, I only admired outfits with quirky combinations of prints. I struggled with combining clashing patterns myself for such a long time, feeling somewhat like an imposter of sorts. Like who the heck was I to think I could possibly pull off these cool mergers between seemingly opposed patterns that you only saw on fashion icons and street style celebrities? I always have had eclectic taste when it came to fashion, but print mixing was something completely new and totally foreign to me in my styling choices just a few short years ago. I remember back in September of 2016 being inspired by my dear…
