The Thrifty Six in Thrifted Faves
Technology was playing some silly games these past few weeks which resulted in missed communications all around me. It was kind of weird actually. When those sorts of things happen in abundance in a short period of time it usually means Mercury is in retrograde. But the last retrograde period ended on February 3 and Mercury doesn’t go retrograde again until May 10…just in time to really goof with summer planning. In any event, established email contacts were going missing all over the place. I ended up finding a bunch in my spam folder which I still cannot understand. So if you have sent me an email and I never…

Jewel Tones & Your Own Twist Link Up #42
I know today is St. Patrick’s Day when all of the internet is exploding with all things Irish and all things green. But I didn’t want to do what all of the internet is doing today. Instead we are celebrating Jewel Day by putting our own twists on jewel tones. Yes, I ended up in green anyway but that’s only because green is my forever favorite color and emeralds are my favorite gemstone (and my birthstone) so emerald green was the obvious choice for me. Jewel Day is always celebrated on March 13 and it is simply a day to celebrate gemstones and jewelry…by either giving or receiving these gifts!…

Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. A series that I co-host with Nancy where you can choose whether you want to share a Good Buy (which is an item you are really exited about) or a Good-Bye (which is an item you are going to say good-bye to, previously known as a Bad Buy).

Denim for Days | March Stylish Monday Link Up
“You can make jeans and a t-shirt super stylish. It’s what you make of it, you know?” – Phillip Lim It seems like the world of denim has gone completely crazy with an endless amount of styles to suit everyone’s aesthetic and needs. I have gone through many phases of denim love and sometimes hate over the years. There was a time during my grade school years and a time in my 20s when I didn’t own a single pair of jeans. Over the last five years, however, I have become a bit of denim collector. I do believe that I own every style of denim (skinnies, flares, cropped, boyfriend,…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Periwinkle and Purple & Link Up On the Edge #285
The Pantone color of the year for 2022 is Very Peri…a shade of purple “whose courageous presence encourages personal inventiveness and creativity.” The color encompasses the qualities of blues while also possessing a violet-red undertone that displays “a spritely joyous attitude and dynamic presence.” Very Peri is a gorgeous color to transition from the cold winter months into the warmer spring days that lie ahead making it the perfect theme for March’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. But we don’t want to limit you to just one specific shade of purple, so any purple will do! We invite you to share your favorite Periwinkle and Purple pieces. What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye…

Outfit Remix for Road Tripping & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #263
Two weeks ago, I shared this cheerful pink sweater in my road tripping post…the road trip which I embark on today! By the time you are reading this, I will likely already be on the road en route from northern New York to the mountains of western North Carolina. A round trip of over 1,800 miles that I will traverse today and tomorrow, arriving at my destination in Tuckasegee, North Carolina, some time tomorrow evening. In that previous post, I had mentioned that this cozy turtleneck sweater would be making the trip with me. In fact, I am wearing the same road trip outfit that I said I would except…
