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”

Then & Now-My Printed ASOS Vest
When I find a garment I really like, it stays in my closet for a long time. The creative in me, likes to view these much-liked pieces with a fresh perspective each season and find different ways to style them. Today’s example is the ASOS long vest that I bought last summer. This vest can beContinue reading “Then & Now-My Printed ASOS Vest”
Loving My Red Paisley-2nd Loved 1st Friday #3
This 2nd Loved 1st Friday Linkup is all about Paisley. Yes, Paisley, the classic pattern that can be preppy, bohemian, exotic, and can harken back to the hippy dippy 60’s. I love paisley, not the red bandana kind, but the rich exotic patterns. Luckily I have managed to find three pieces this year on my thrifting excursions and, better yet,Continue reading “Loving My Red Paisley-2nd Loved 1st Friday #3”
Black & White Patterns + One Bright Color
Pattern mixing has been floating around the fashion and blog world as far back as I can remember. Throughout the years, I am sure I have unconsciously styled mixed. Put a printed scarf with a tweed dress and you are wearing two patterns. Have I ever put something together with the sole purpose to mix patterns?Continue reading “Black & White Patterns + One Bright Color”
Earth Tones + a Dash of Orange
Earth tones are like old friends. I’ve worn earth colors for most of my life and when a great looking natural colored item gets in my closet, it’s going to reside there for a long time. Earth tones appear when fibers are dyed with things like leaves, bark, flower petals and even fungi. Or someContinue reading “Earth Tones + a Dash of Orange”
It Was a Fine Night, Indeed
For the first time, all three of us got to go: daughters Rachelle and Michelle and yours truly. It was the Saturday night semi-annual, runway show of Kansas City Fashion week. I don’t think I’ve enjoyed the event more. Today’s post is covering just a little of that night, more of a photo-blog this timeContinue reading “It Was a Fine Night, Indeed”
Ami Beck and Dolyn Bags
For ten months I craved a “Victoria Sling.” Friends who know me could just shrug their shoulders and quip, “Just go make that cocktail if you want it so badly.” While the Victoria Sling does indeed sound like a divine mixture to be imbibed as a tribute to Masterpiece’s smash hit Victoria (that some of us justContinue reading “Ami Beck and Dolyn Bags”
Color+Neutral
Four years ago I volunteered to model for a Kansas City Fiber Guild show. I had never modeled before but it was my first year of being retired and I thought a new experience might be fun. The modeling went fine. I didn’t stumble or fall down. We were assigned what to wear and myContinue reading “Color+Neutral”
Repeat and Variation
For decades, Gloria Everhart’s Act II consignment shop offered high end fashion to women and men in the Kansas City area. At age 90, Gloria retired and Act II closed its doors. I am sad (like a host of others) to see this iconic boutique go and will miss it. At my last visit, IContinue reading “Repeat and Variation”
An American Classic and Modern Vice
Today’s story comes in two parts. Part one is about an American classic that I love and the second part is is about what I hope will become an American classic. The story takes shape through a walk on our homestead. We always take photos on Wednesday, and last Wednesday was very windy and IContinue reading “An American Classic and Modern Vice”
