Pink Peacock Wrap & Spread The Kindness Link Up On the Edge #764
Before I get to the pink peacock wrap, do you remember my burnt ochre dress from last summer? When I shared the third styling of that super comfortable dress, I mentioned that I had recently found the same dress in black. It was on clearance because it is last summer’s dress. But I don’t care about which summer this dress was manufactured for retail sale because when you get to my age all the summers start blending together and you are no longer a slave to the “current” trends. It took me decades to settle into my “old gray haired hippie” aesthetic and I have no intention of changing it…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Yellow
Over the last 7 years, we have featured lots of colors in this series including green, orange, red and pink, black and white, periwinkle and purple, Barbie pink, gold, brown, peach, blue, and gray, but somehow we have neglected yellow. Since yellow gives me all sorts of happy summer vibes, we decided it was time to showcase this bright, cheerful color for our July edition of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book.

SIA Gallery of Style | Wave I & Wave II by Vanessa Barragão
I am loving the beautiful results of this art inspiration on our outfit choices this week. The soft blues and creamy whites are really appealing to my sartorial senses as the heat and humidity are on the rise leading up to the summer solstice. I know I complain a lot about the cold, the snow, the rain, and the mud, but now it is the season when I complain about the heat and humidity. I guess the weather will not ever satisfy me. But if the weather is my only complaint, then I guess I’m still winning at life! About Style Imitating Art Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar of 14…

The Thrifty Six in Nautical Style
Sally said, “Nautical Vibes for June!” And Shelbee silently replied inside her mind, “Ummmmm.” Every now and then, I have been known to enjoy a good Breton stripe, a comfy pair of boat shoes, a cute pair of sailor pants, or a red, white, and blue color palette. And once upon a time, I did have a nice collection of preloved blue and white striped shirts and dresses that were perfectly nautical. But with my recent style aesthetic being much more woodsy boho than coastal chic, I have purged most of those things from my closet. I am certain there are some ocean inspired pieces that remain in my wardrobe…
