This was an easy outfit. It was inspired by the candy stripe metallic sweater that a friend gave me after it didn’t work for her. Best to keep everything else simple when wielding such a eye-popping piece, I feel. I went with slim dark jeans & dressy flats (also worn here). The neutral bag doesn’t
I have been waiting for this Oscars watch party since we found out about it! We love the Tampa Theatre almost as much as we love watching movies. I don’t normally watch the Oscars but I love a good dress-up party and since we were attending this event we made a point to watch a
This leather, plaid & velvet outfit was inspired by this plaid shirt finally fitting me again! I found it in a thrift store in Edinburgh several years back when I was there with my now husband. Then I gained weight. I hung onto it for sentimental reasons & now it fits again! I bought the
This light denim outfit was inspired by the tank top. I wanted to wear it one last time, since it’s gotten too big & I am passing it on. It’s from Loft (purchased on clearance). They do the best floral prints! I used to live in Loft since a lot of their clothes run big
This grunge inspired outfit is so similar to what I wore the first day of Junior year of high school but, of course, it’s still so different, as is any trend inspired by the past. That day, I got in trouble for the half shirt & had to zip up the plaid to cover my
Back in the 90’s I think we called any big, blousy top a poet shirt. Especially if it had ruffles at the neck or wrists. Anyone remember? Today, I guess they would be considered a peasant top. Although a true peasant top is usually a popover style in floral & very cottage-core. Anyway, this could
I did another outfit with faux leather for work. Sadly, this is the last one with these pants (also worn here, and here) as I’ve lost even more weight & the they are uncomfortably large now. They were fun while they lasted! This one was super simple: no name cashmere sweater (DHGate.com), Walmart faux leather
Packing for a week trip to Tennessee: We took a vacation recently! We don’t do that a lot so it’s kind of a big deal for me! We went to Nashville for a weekend hockey tournament for my step kiddo & after that we visited friends in Chattanooga. There wasn’t much to my packing strategy
This casual work outfit is 75% secondhand. It’s mostly inspired by the top that I don’t wear much because it has a wide open back. When I wear it for work I have to layer a cami underneath. I’m probably passing it on to someone else even though I like it. One rule I have
I pulled off these faux leather pants for work by pairing them with classic layers. A couple pieces everyone needs in their closet lately: a denim button down & a quarter zip sweater, along with a pair of flat mules. I, of course, found the first two items at the Goodwill outlet. I already had
