Songful Style Link Party #24 | “I’m Still Standing” by Elton John
It is time to share the outfits that were inspired by the song I chose for this month’s Songful Style challenge. Sir Elton John is not only one of the most talented and successful singers and composers of our time, but the man has incomparable style that would inspire any fashion forward human. I love the lyrics to “I’m Still Standing”, but I love the vibrant and flamboyant outfits that dominate the music video even more. In fact, the video is a brilliant representation of the bold and colorful fashion of the 1980s and I just can’t get enough! Even though my current style aesthetic is heavy on the hippie…

New York State of Mind & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #693
I am writing this post on Tuesday morning, sitting on Becca’s couch in beautiful Tuckasegee, North Carolina, while her adorable pup Emmylou snores beside me. It is too dark to capture a photo right now so I went and swiped one from Becca’s Facebook page. Just look at that face! Emmylou and I are kindred spirits. She is most definitely my favorite canine on the planet. My trip has been wonderful so far. I drove most of Saturday and Sunday and I was so grateful for clear weather and light traffic the whole way. Becca invited her friends Gordon and Billy over for dinner on Sunday night which was really…

Gone to Carolina in My Mind & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #692
Tomorrow, I’ll be gone to Carolina in my car. It is time for my annual winter break solo road trip! The first part of my travels will begin early in the morning, not solo. I will have the kids in tow for the first 4 hours before dropping them off at Gramma’s house in Pennsylvania. Thank you, Gramma, for hanging with the children all week so I can journey on freely! Then a quick one hour drive to briefly see my sister, plan our sister-sleepover for the following week, and use her bathroom before continuing on for the final part of my Saturday driving. It will take about 3 hours…

The Magnificent 8 are Celebrating the Year of the Dragon
As we are quickly approaching the start of the Chinese New Year, I thought it might be fun for my group of magnificently ageless friends to style outfits for the Year of the Dragon. Preparations for the new year begin on February 2 and last until New Year’s Eve on February 9. This first week is known as Little Year. February 10 marks the official beginning of the Chinese New Year with the Spring Festival lasting until February 20. Finally, arrangements begin on February 21 for the Lantern Festival which is held on February 24. Although I was the one who suggested the Year of the Dragon as our style…

Songful Style Link Party #23 | “Humankind” by Coldplay
Suzy dropped a really difficult style challenge in our laps with her January song choice of “Humankind” by Coldplay. I wasn’t familiar with this song so this was my initial introduction to it. It’s a catchy tune that has a pretty high level of earwormness but I admittedly did not understand the lyrics at all upon first listen. After doing some online research and gathering background information for my song introduction post, I began to gain some clarity on the type of sartorial craziness I wanted to stir up in my magical closet room. Once I discovered that the song is from a concept album set in a fictional planetary…
