It's Monday! You know the drill, on Monday I link up with Greater than Rubies. The challenge today is part of Redress {Reconstruction}. When I did a little research on this, I quickly realized I have nothing {not a thing} that I have reconstructed. Do I have a sewing machine {yes}, scissors {yes}, hot glue {yes}, various items with which I could experiment with {yes}. So what is my hang up? Creativity, courage and time to take on the challenge. And here's why... The month of April was extremely ... Continue Reading...

Stripes - Florals - Leopard Print & Co-Host

Last week the Spring Style Me Challenge hosted by Alison with Get Your Pretty On finished up. It was a great three weeks and I learned much that I am taking with me on my fashion journey.

Hence the title of the post {stripes, florals and leopard print} have made their way into a prominent part of my wardrobe. I have discovered new ways to wear them and even wear them together.

Beautiful blue skies, no clouds and warm {hot} temperatures. This has been the forecast in Texas lately. I, for one, am loving it! I'll admit that when it's over 100 for, well, what feels like 100 days I do grow a little tired of the heat. But for 2014 I'm not there yet. Right here, right now I'm totally digging the weather. I am much more upbeat and productive when the sun is out and the skies are blue! We are on the brink of summer fashion and for me living in Texas, summer = dresses! They are ... Continue Reading...

The spring transition in Texas can be mind-boggling to me at times. Last week there were a few mornings when I needed a light jacket or a cardigan but the temps zoomed up in the afternoon. Perfect time to put on a tank top and shorts before heading to the gym. I have typically struggled with the spring transition for years but this year has been better. ... Continue Reading...
