Have you heard about the new Common Threads Challenge? If not, you are in the right place to find out about a new style challenge beginning October 1st. I was thrilled to be invited to help host this challenge along with several other bloggers. I guess I could ramble on but instead, please follow this link to read the original post.

Oh, the struggle is real especially when I have to choose for reals in a few days.

As I’m choosing individual pieces there are a few at the forefront in my mind right now. My main picks are included in this widget. A
