Festive Outfits | December Stylish Monday Link Up
They told me to be festive and I think I heard them say be silly. And somehow I landed in a place that is festively silly, joyfully jubilant, colorfully bold, and ridiculously bouncy. Y’all, I am telling the truth. This outfit literally made me bounce all day…in the way that Tigger does. “Tiggers don’t jump, they bounce!” Tigger, Winnie the Pooh The double pom poms on my head bounced when I bounced, too, and that’s a really fun kind of bounciness that Tigger would appreciate because… “Bouncing is what Tiggers do best!” Tigger, ‘What Tiggers Do Best’ While this outfit really has nothing at all to do with Tigger or…

Adventures in Thrifting Part 14: White Zara Apron Dress & Link Up On the Edge #274
Back in September, I found two supremely adorable Zara apron dresses on one of my thrifting adventures. The first one I shared was a blue floral print apron dress styled in a very similar way to this white one with a black turtleneck and black chunky boots. I actually styled and photographed this white one first and I liked the layering trick so much that I stuck with it for both dresses. It is the perfect way to take a sleeveless sundress into the colder months. This dress is a very heavy cotton twill material also making it versatile for multiple season wear. The blue floral one is lighter weight…

Have a Hempy Holiday (Underneath Your Clothes) & Link Up On the Edge #272
“Underwear is everything because we all know that if we have on the wrong pair of underwear it ruins your day.” Veronica Webb Back in July of 2018, I shared a post called The Great Underwear Debacle: Chasing the Perfect Panties. Since the writing of that article, I have tried countless more panties on my quest for the perfect pair. Some have been good, some not so good, and some better than others. Then in September of 2021, I had the opportunity to collaborate with WAMA Underwear and try their hemp panties and sports bra. I even got my husband on board to try out the hemp boxers. And I…

’Tis the Season for Gratitude & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #250
“I am happy because I’m grateful. I choose to be grateful. That gratitude allows me to be happy.” Will Arnett I began the year 2021 with a focus on perspective and gratitude so it seems fitting to head into the end of year holiday season with the same focus. The past two years have certainly changed all of us in one way or another. We have experienced good things in the midst of all the bad just the same as we experience bad things that can creep into our lives when everything seems good. The one thing that I have learned through all of it though is that none of…

Fall Hiking Outfits & Your Own Twist Link Up #38
It is that time again when Monica of Jersey Girl, Texan Heart and I bring you our own twists on a specified style prompt. Not wanting to overload y’all with holiday outfit ideas since that is what seems to dominate the land of fashion blogging this time of year, we went for an easy everyday style prompt of fall hiking outfits. To be completely honest, I didn’t even style this outfit for the prompt. I just threw on this jeans and sweater outfit one random chilly day a few weeks ago and took some photos in the back yard. This neon sweater quickly became a cold weather wardrobe favorite since…
