Songful Style Link Party 13 | “Love at First Sight” by Kylie Minogue
“I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date!” The White Rabbit, Alice in Wonderland Tardiness is one of my peeviest pet peeves so I’m a little annoyed with myself for not having this post published yesterday as I had committed to doing. I had all of my photos ready to go before I headed off on my annual winter road trip with every intention of doing some work while I was on vacation. But I quickly transitioned into vacation mode, put my laptop away, and never opened it again until this morning. So I’m only a little annoyed because it was really nice to put it all away for…

The Thrifty Six are Wearing Summer Colors in Winter
Since this is Jodie’s inaugural post as a member of The Thrifty Six, she had the honor of choosing this month’s thrifty theme. All six of us reside in the northern hemisphere where we still have one-third of the winter season to go with 8 weeks behind us and 4 weeks until the spring equinox. Where I live in the very northern reaches of New York State, the spring equinox is much less spring-like and very much mud-like. Most things don’t start to bloom around here until mid to late May and real spring weather usually arrives just in time for the summer solstice. Generally in my part of the…

Spunky Old Broads & Your Own Twist Link Up #53
Calling all Spunky Old Broads! February is our month to celebrate the kind of female badassery that can only come with many decades of life experience. Back in 2002, Dr. Gayle Carson, the spunkiest of us all, declared February 1 (and subsequently the whole month of February), Spunky Old Broads Day/Spunky Old Broads Month, a time to celebrate women still living loud in midlife. The driving purpose behind this holiday is to dispel the myth that life automatically starts winding down for women once they turn 50. We live in a world that tends to favor the younger which often leads to the undermining of the amazing accomplishments and extraordinary…

6 Easy Ways to Complete an Outfit
Completing an outfit can sometimes present unique and difficult challenges. For example, you may be unsure which accessories work best with your outfit or you may not have a coordinating belt to complement the top you are wearing. Perhaps the shoes you had in mind aren’t fitting with the jeans you had in mind, leaving you with half an outfit, limited time, and no clue how to bring it all together before you need to start the day. However, getting dressed does not need to be so complicated, especially when you keep in mind that personal style is all subjective anyway. If you wear what makes you feel comfortable, confident,…
