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”
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”
Red, Tan & Brown
In September, I when shopping at Savers (a for-profit thrift store), a red oversized wool blend sweater made a flying leap off its rack into my cart! OK, I know you don’t believe that. It was more like I made a flying leap towards it, grabbed and headed for the dressing rooms. And that isContinue reading “Red, Tan & Brown”
The Essential Black T-Shirt
Today, I am talking about another closet essential. A while back, I did a post about the simple black dress and how important it is to one’s closet. The simple black T-shirt is not far behind. There are hundreds of T-shirt colors and designs (we all have a few). But the black T-shirt is essential.Continue reading “The Essential Black T-Shirt”
#thriftedchicstylechallenge
I was busy on Instagram last week. So busy I didn’t have time to work on my blog. A few Instagram bloggers hosted a weeklong thrifted style challenge. Most of my readers know my love of slow fashion and finding fantastic second-loved pieces is very important to my style philosophy. I’m not sure how manyContinue reading “#thriftedchicstylechallenge”
Romance & Lace 2nd Loved 1st Friday #4
Lace and romance is my theme for 2nd Loved First Friday #4. This look is the result of an absolute blast I had on Senior Citizen discount day at Goodwill. I went with the idea of finding a something maxi. A chiffon sundress caught my eye. I have never been too much into flower prints.Continue reading “Romance & Lace 2nd Loved 1st Friday #4”
