Extra SIA Bonus Outfit | “Gosh! Do I Look as Old as All That!” by Dr. Seuss & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #706
When I first shared the artwork for this week’s Style Imitating Art challenge, I mentioned that I had photographed two different outfits to represent the Dr. Seuss painting that I chose. I was unable to decide which outfit better reflected the artwork so I shared the first outfit that I photographed on Monday. As I was getting dressed for that first set of photos, I spotted this floral dress hanging in my closet and the colors perfectly captured the essence of the painting. So I decided to photograph this one, too. Since I had nothing planned to share with you today, I figured why not kick off the holiday weekend…

The Thrifty Six in Denim Days
It was my turn to choose this month’s thrifty theme and I went for Denim Days for a variety of reasons. I probably wear denim the most frequently at this time of year as we transition from winter to spring and the weather is still cool. I also have a lot of thrifted and preloved denim items which would make it easy for me to style a denim based outfit without shopping for something new. Ironically, however, I never did style a new denim themed outfit for this challenge because the weather has been complete shit. It has been raining for days, the ground is all muddy, the sky is…
