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...
Monday’s Mix - Fall Transitions
Hello, Monday...back to work, which means I'm up and at 'em starting about 5:15 am. I am a morning person but on Monday morning it is much more difficult to get going. Does anyone else feel that way at all? Ever? Every week? On the flip side, I am thankful to be employed and on top of that I enjoy my co-workers. Yes, friends, I am blessed! This is something I tend to struggle to remember because I often take so much of my life for granted. I'm thinking I am not alone as I walk down ... 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...
