Twice a month they they take turns picking a work of art or a piece of historical clothing andContinue reading “Purple, Brown and Leopard For Style Imitating Art”

Expanding 2nd Love 1st Friday Linkup
Some of you may recall my last month’s 1st Friday post, at the end I threw out ideas about adding ways people could participate in the 2nd Loved 1st Friday Linkup. This has been on my mind for a while now: I’m sure there are many more ways to live the “slow fashion” life thanContinue reading “Expanding 2nd Love 1st Friday Linkup”
Color Blocked Shift by Tom & Linda Platt + Link-Up
I have admired the designs of American designers Tom and Linda Platt. Their garments seem untrendy to me, that is, they are just designed well. Plus playful, inventive, and not afraid of color! Last month, I wrote about a dress I made from a Vogue pattern that The Platts designed (they have designed a fewContinue reading “Color Blocked Shift by Tom & Linda Platt + Link-Up”
Modern Sage Designs: Designer Interview
Semi precious stones have always caught my eye: Jade, Jasper, Agate, Chalcendony–I could go on. However, Bumblebee Jasper completely escaped my radar. That was until Laura of Modern Sage Designs created a pair of earrings from Bumblebee Jasper and Black Tourmaline. I was smitten. The mixture of yellow, grey and black has to be oneContinue reading “Modern Sage Designs: Designer Interview”
More Adventurous(?) & Linkup
April 2016, I purchased a simple Asiatica jacket at Gloria Everhart’s Act II consignment shop. For decades, Gloria offered high end fashion to women and men in the Kansas City area. Very shortly after my purchase, Gloria at age 90 retired and Act II closed its doors. I miss it. Designed cleanly and simply, myContinue reading “More Adventurous(?) & Linkup”
Embellishing With Vintage Silk & Linkup
Yea! A project I’ve been mulling over for at least four years finally finished! Wearing occasionally while I was teaching, I had gotten good use from a simple cropped, black jacket by J.Jill. So I put it in the sack to donate to Goodwill. But then I kept taking it out and putting it back.Continue reading “Embellishing With Vintage Silk & Linkup”
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”
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”
