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...
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.

Who knew? Not me {yet ... 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.

Spring Style Me Challenge - The Finale!
The Spring Style Me Challenge at Get Your Pretty On officially ended on Sunday. Twenty one days of being styled by Alison gave me so many ideas for outfits and putting patterns and colors together. I certainly know I have a few go to outfits that are easy and effortless to put together. That is so exciting to me as I continue on my wardrobe journey. Although I will take with me all that learned about style, the greater gift for me is relationships. I have been extremely blessed by the ... Continue Reading...
Spring Dresses Link-up
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...
