The Thrifty Six in Cheap Frills
The Thrifty Six is a group of international fashion lovers who meet once a month in our little space on the internet to share our thrifty outfits. On the third Monday of every month, we will all share an outfit based on a specific theme that features preloved wardrobe pieces.

The Thrifty Six are here not only to inspire you to shop second hand but to also get creative in your closets. This month, Emma chose our theme, Cheap Frills. I am always a fan of a…

Style Imitating Art | Diamond Dust Shoes by Andy Warhol
Per my recent norm, I am writing this post hours after I should have already had it published. Better late than never, I suppose. It has been a struggle lately because of the relentless weather here. I am just happy that I managed to get dressed and find an outdoor place to take photographs in this never-ending winter vortex that surrounds me. I will come back to life once the snow melts, the sun shines, and the green grass greets me on the warm mornings of springtime. For now, I mostly hibernate and only get dressed for style challenges. But I’m okay with that! About Style Imitating Art Style Imitating…

My Simple DIY Poncho & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #742
Happy Friday, everyone! We are still buried in snow where I live and it just keeps snowing. I have been spending most of my days in fleece lined leggings, a hoodie, and snow boots. If I am not outside shoveling snow or splitting wood, I am inside keeping the fire burning and the house running. I am content and satisfied, but I am also cold and tired and ready for spring. So today I am going to share an outfit that is also ready for spring (and photographed in summer). Do you remember my DIY corduroy wrap that I shared in the fall? I made this cute little poncho from…

Style Imitating Art | “Maude Adams (1872–1953) as Joan of Arc” by Alphonse Mucha
I am not a big fan of the color peach. Unless it’s on a peach. Then it is actually quite the perfect color. But on my clothes, it’s not my jam. Ooh, but if the peach is in my jam, then it is definitely my jam. On a nice warm piece of fresh homemade sourdough bread. Yum. But here I am wearing a very bright shade of peach. Marsha’s last art pick pushed me into these peachy colors, too. That’s what makes these style challenges so interesting. They force me to look at my wardrobe differently and get more creative with the pieces in my closet. They challenge me to…

The Best Hat Ever & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #740
Back in September, Jeff and I attended the Adirondack Wool & Arts Festival in Greenwich, New York, on the way home from our date weekend in Troy, New York. There were so many talented folks sharing so many beautiful creations that I struggled to choose just one thing to bring home as a souvenir. As I circled through the booths, my desire for all the things kept growing which makes it impossible to decide on any one thing. So I would take a business card and continue on my way waiting for the perfect thing to grab my attention or make a decision after I shopped all the booths. When…
