Today, we are celebrating passionate women with the Forever Fierce Campaign 2018. The word fierce may describe a way of behavior or a determination deep down inside you. Life occasionally throws curve-balls. It takes that gut fierceness to get through the rough, take the good with grace, and shine through. For a life well-lived, oneContinue reading “Forever Fierce-Individual Voices”

Red + Olive: a Complementary Collaboration

With the holidays approaching a few weeks ago, I wrote a post featuring a red Calvin Klein dress (link to that post HERE). Parts of the post were charts I created of colors that the experts in the book The Dress Doctors recommended to use with red (original Dress Doctor Post linked HERE). Fellow bloggerContinue reading “Red + Olive: a Complementary Collaboration”

Wearing Asiatica & February’s Linkup

Last week, my beloved photographer accompanied me into Asiatica, a most unique and high-end retail store in Kansas City. The brilliant folks at Asiatica offer one-of-a-kind garments created from vintage Japanese kimono pieces, contemporary artisanal fabrics, and other luxurious textiles. Each piece is designed and stitched in Kansas City with superb craftsmanship for a garmentContinue reading “Wearing Asiatica & February’s Linkup”

Catching Up With Sarah Nelsen-One Busy Designer

The Beginning Have you ever noticed a simple, unassuming event that eventually pushed your life in a different direction? While thinking about writing this post, I realized there was such an event for me in June of 2015. At that time, I wasn’t doing style or fashion blogging. The thought had not yet crossed myContinue reading “Catching Up With Sarah Nelsen-One Busy Designer”

The Beret-A Favorite Through the Decades

My affection for Berets started when I was 17 from the striking pictures of Faye Dunaway. Her cool, sophisticated, dangerous stare looked out from posters of the big movie that year (1967), “Bonnie and Clyde.” Not as sultry a Faye, but it works for me. In this photo, I’m also showing off my new earringsContinue reading “The Beret-A Favorite Through the Decades”

Channeling Sally & Moon Silver Jewelry

When you write a blog you read blogs. Someone will make a comment on one of your posts; they have a blog so you jump over there and see what they have to say. This happens over and over until, before you know it, you’ve leapfrogged across the world. Sometimes I stay with a blog,Continue reading “Channeling Sally & Moon Silver Jewelry”

Winter White Sweater Dress & 2nd Loved 1st Friday Linkup

Welcome to my first post of 2018. MeadowTree Style had its second birthday this week. Two years ago I decided to try my hand at blogging about style. I had no idea where this road would take me or if I would find my groove. But here I am just having a ball. I amContinue reading “Winter White Sweater Dress & 2nd Loved 1st Friday Linkup”

Going For The Gold: Elegance In December Holidays

Can one have an elegant wardrobe for the holidays and still be on the Good-For-Planet-Earth road of slow fashion (look for well-made 2nd hand/make-it-yourself/buy from local designers or producers)? See what you think after the looks below. In getting ready for a holiday get-together, casual or dressy, I’m inclined to pick silk, velvet, or beadedContinue reading “Going For The Gold: Elegance In December Holidays”

Red Fit and Flair

We all have our LBDs but do you have your little red dress? I’ve been having fun styling my red fit and flair lined dress by Calvin Klein. It’s always a favorite of mine for special events. This dress has twenty-four gores–can really swish & swing–and is so much fun to wear. Using three stylings,Continue reading “Red Fit and Flair”

The One I Almost Left Behind & 2nd Loved 1st Friday Link-Up

About fifteen years ago, I was rummaging through my favorite local flea market (still my favorite). I usually went there then to find vintage glass and kitchen ware. However, on that summer day, I saw two Pendleton 49’ers hanging in a back booth, both in good condition and each only $5! I grabbed the oneContinue reading “The One I Almost Left Behind & 2nd Loved 1st Friday Link-Up”
