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”
Turquoise, Coral and Orange For Summer Style
Turquoise, coral, orange with a little brown and golden tan: these colors evoke clear skies, desert, sun and heat. Add a bit of turquoise jewelry and I feel an American southwestern vibe. This look wasn’t instant but fell together one element at a time. The Dress The Rachel Kate lined chiffon dress is from aContinue reading “Turquoise, Coral and Orange For Summer Style”
The LBD-2nd Loved 1st Friday Linkup
Everyone needs a black dress. Of my top ten of things to have in my closet, the LBD is number one. If you have just one LBD, it should be simple and preferably sleeveless because a sleeveless dress is more versatile. I took my little black dress and restyled it four ways using accessories: bags,Continue reading “The LBD-2nd Loved 1st Friday Linkup”
The Kampala: A Well Connected Bag
A bag can be utilitarian, a status symbol, the “it” item of the year, a work of art, a connection to someone or the past….I am sure I’m leaving something out. And of course, bags are just things. They do not live, breathe or have a heart and soul. But some bags can connect usContinue reading “The Kampala: A Well Connected Bag”
My Sew Sew Life-Something New in Bamboo + Cydney Ross
I had trouble coming up with an opening for this post. That doesn’t surprise since, until recently, I had a creative block on what to do with this gorgeous piece of bamboo fabric. For over six years, this fabric was in my stash. When I first saw this coral woven bamboo at a Sew Expo,Continue reading “My Sew Sew Life-Something New in Bamboo + Cydney Ross”
