As I'm working through the pieces I've kept for my Winter Seasonal Capsule, I'm featuring a mustard cardigan today. I was challenged to put together a look using a graphic tee just other day and I decided to put it under my mustard cardigan. A simple, quick and easy look that I can wear to work and of course on a weekend when I'm out running errands. I decided to create two other simple looks with the cardigan to feature today. This reminds me that my words for this year {simplify, satisfied ... Continue Reading...
Revisiting Capsules by Cladwell
Time for a revisit... You may remember that I mentioned Capsules by Cladwell in two previous posts. You can read them here and here. As I have been working through a capsule wardrobe of my own by using Capsules, I think it's been really enlightening and helpful. If you're thinking about trying your own capsule and need a little help with a step by step process, then Capsules might be a great place for you to begin. Their program will walk you through sorting out your current closet and ... Continue Reading...
Summer Remix - Week 1
Hello, Monday! Today begins a new remix challenge with Caitlin at Greater than Rubies. My first remix challenge was with Caitlin back in January. It was a great way to start out the new year. I learned so much from that challenge so I am really excited to try it again. Hopefully, I have chosen better pieces to remix together, but we shall see by the end of the month. If I learned anything, it was to choose weather appropriate clothing for the season. In January, I simply chose items that I could ... Continue Reading...
RRR & Summer Remix Challenge
Today, I'm glad it's Monday. I have my act together {unlike last week when I did not post at all on Monday} and am up for today's challenge. When Caitlin posted the idea of taking something from childhood and updating it, I really stumped for quite a while. I haven't thought much about childhood in...well, what feels like forever. But then I remembered an outfit from elementary that was one of my favorites. My mom made so many of my clothes when I was growing up and I always just took it for ... Continue Reading...
Remix.Rewear.Restyle & Redress: Reconstruction
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...
Pop of Color + Co-Hosting with Funday Monday
Color - pops of it are fast becoming a new outfit love language for me. For years {and years} my go to color was black. When I was being a little daring, I would add some grey or purple but even those were of the muted tones. Always staying in the background with my color choices was my comfort zone. Most of the time because I wasn't confident or comfortable with how I looked. Then color entered my life and this has been a recent development for the most part. The truth is that color makes me ...
