By the middle of last week, I knew there was no way that I was going to have a style blog post ready for Sunday. We were having a Fall Festival ‘Ween party this weekend at the farm. There was so much to do. Family come on Saturday and they don’t leave until late Sunday.Continue reading “Happy MeadowTree Halloween!”

Covered Perfectly’s Fit & Flair
The Fit and Flair has been one of Covered Perfectly’s most popular designs. Its princess style is flattering for many figures and the ice skating dress vibe is just cute. When Pauline, the creator and creative drive behind Covered Perfectly, asked if I would be interested in doing another review, I was immediately attracted toContinue reading “Covered Perfectly’s Fit & Flair”
Munelle de Vie
In the past year, I have had the privilege of getting to know Munisa Ky, a young talented designer currently working in Kansas City. Although born in Dushanbe, Tajikistan and receiving her early education in both Tajik and Russian schools, Munisa’s true dream was to travel to the United States and become a respected designerContinue reading “Munelle de Vie”
For the Love of Vintage &2nd Loved 1st Friday Linkup
Those who follow me on Instagram saw this photo pop up on my feed about three weeks ago. My good friend, Diana and I were up shopping in Kansas City for the day and one of our stops was Donna’s Dress Shop in Kansas City’s Westport area. It was love at first sight for meContinue reading “For the Love of Vintage &2nd Loved 1st Friday Linkup”
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”
My Hardest Working Transitional Piece
I’ve found the perfect summer/fall transitional piece — a black loose fitting Mango jumpsuit. It’s an accident that I even have this jumpsuit. Originally, I found it on Poshmark for my youngest daughter. But when it got here, I knew it was way too big for her. Thinking that I might alter it, I triedContinue reading “My Hardest Working Transitional Piece”
Artful Creations
I’ve made a few pieces of jewelry. When I find some beads I like, I string them together. Of course, I know about jump rings, crimp beads and own a few tools. So I guess I’m a stringer, not a true jewelry designer–which is why I really respect the creative ladies behind Kansas City’s ArtfulContinue reading “Artful Creations”
Refashion & 2nd Loved 1st Friday Linkup
For July’s link-up, I was determined to have a maxi dress and came home with two style combos from Goodwill. Each style included a top and dress so that added up to four pieces. Admittedly, I came home with more but it was Senior Discount Day! In the end, I choose the blue lace topContinue reading “Refashion & 2nd Loved 1st Friday Linkup”
Kansas City’s Women’s Equality Week-3 Events-3 Looks
Women’s Equality Day was August 26th. This day commemorates American women finally having the right to vote. Most cities have activities limited to just the one day, but Kansas City devotes an entire week to women’s equality. I attended three events: the Sunday opening reception held at the American Jazz Museum, Building Coalitions Through CourageousContinue reading “Kansas City’s Women’s Equality Week-3 Events-3 Looks”
#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”
