Big Blanket Love & Spread The Kindness Link Up On the Edge #800
If you recall, I shared some of my favorite Christmas gifts back in January including this Big Blanket Premier Plush™ Wrap in Moss. Since this wrap is considered loungewear, I have been wearing it primarily at home while lounging. It hadn’t immediately occurred to me that I can wear it outside of the house as a cozy topper for cold weather. Once I remembered that I am not generally a person who adheres strictly to labels, I decided I needed to create an outside outfit with my Big Blanket as the focal point. Before I get to the outfit, let me tell you some stuff about this amazing Big Blanket…

A Boho Twist on FJackets Purple Leather Coat & Spread The Kindness Link Up On the Edge #799
Recently, I was invited by FJackets to review a leather coat of my choice and I was more than happy to accept the invitation. I received this jacket in exchange for my honest opinion of the product. However, to ensure authenticity of my review, I have not been compensated in any other way. FJackets began in 2013 as a small startup focused on creating high-quality leather jackets for U.S. customers. By 2017, they had expanded their inventory to include leather bags, pants, and wallets. In 2021, FJackets began offering their products internationally and added belts, leather shorts, varsity jackets, wool coats, T-shirts, and even vegan jackets to their product line,…

The Thrifty Six Focus on Necklines
It was Jodie’s turn to choose our thrifty theme this month and she decided to focus on necklines. This was a fun theme to interpret in unique ways and spotlight the various details of different types of necklines. Interestingly, all six of us featured completely different styles of necklines…cowl neck, crew neck, boat neck, embroidered vee neck, high collared neckline, and a shirred neckline with a collarless coat. Keep in mind that this is a thrifty style challenge, so we all try to incorporate preloved pieces into our outfits that suit the theme. As you may already know, I have a lot of thrifted wardrobe items to choose from. I…

Adventures in Thrifting Part 23: Purple Robe with Teal Accessories & Spread The Kindness Link Up On the Edge #798
You know how much I love a good thrifting adventure. Searching through the racks for unique and interesting pieces brings me so much joy. You know how much I also love my robes and kimonos. So when I find one in a thrift store, I get so darn excited. It is very difficult for me to resist adding more robes and kimonos to my wardrobe so I really don’t resist anymore. I just buy them all and my closet room is becoming a giant collection of robes, kimonos, ruanas, ponchos, dusters, and long flowy topper pieces as a result. I just can’t get enough, it seems, considering I added five…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Cropped Sweaters
During the lifetime of this series, we have featured sweaters three times. In March 2019, we invited you to share your favorite (or least favorite) long cardigan sweaters. Then in January 2020, we opened it up to any style of sweater/jumper with a return to long cardigans in October 2024. And now for March 2026, we are taking a different spin on sweaters with Cropped Sweaters. As you know, we are very flexible with our definitions here, so any extra short sweater would classify as cropped. Below is some inspiration from my archives. What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book? The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book is a monthly series hosted by Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion…

Peregrine Falcon or Bald Eagle? & Spread The Kindness Link Up On the Edge #796
Ever since gifting myself this amazing bird cardigan for Christmas, I have been wanting to share it with you but the weather has been so very uncooperative these last few months. Between mountains of snow and record breaking cold temperatures, I have been only photographing my outfits for preplanned style challenges. While I do wear those style challenge outfits in real life, my typical everyday winter look is something more like this…leggings, a tee shirt, a lightweight cardigan, a heavy cardigan, a scarf, a hat, and boots. As I mentioned in my Christmas gift post, I have been wearing this gorgeous sweater with weekly regularity but there was some discrepancy…
