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”

My Sew-Sew Life-New Floral Spring Dress
New Dress T’was time to make a new dress. Fashion and Flora, a spring event sponsored by Rightfully’s Sewn (my favorite non-profit) was planned at Powell Gardens, Kansas City’s premier botanical garden. Michael and I have been on and off members of Powell Gardens since 1991, so this was something we both were looking forwardContinue reading “My Sew-Sew Life-New Floral Spring Dress”
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”
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”
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”
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”
Back To The Black T-Shirt
A couple of months ago I wrote about the importance of having a black T-Shirt. I would even go so far as to say it is on those top lists of things to have in your closet. In that earlier post I did two stylings using a black crew neck shirt the I thrifted fromContinue reading “Back To The Black T-Shirt”
To The Canyon We Went
Packing for our big adventure to the Grand Canyon was a challenge. In retrospect, both Michael and I took too much. For myself, I wanted things that would take me from the Grand Canyon’s cooler North Rim to the warmer South Rim. On Southwest Airlines, we have one checked bag each which meant that IContinue reading “To The Canyon We Went”
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”
