Style Imitating Art: Bollinger Mill Covered Bridge
INSPIRATION ART WORK Bollinger Mill Covered Bridge by Daenel Vaughn-Tucker THE CURATOR This week’s inspiration piece was curated by me. I took this photo when we lived in Missouri. I used to go to the Bollinger Mill to take pictures, be alone, or just think. It was such a romantic place. I loved seeing the names and dates carved on the interior wall of the bridge. I always wondered about the people… I see so many possibilities in this image: teals, blues, browns, blacks, and even yellows and reds. And then there are the textures. What do you think you’ll wear? I can’t wait to see! MY LOOK Can you…

Style Imitating Art Inspiration: Two Acrobats with a Dog by Pablo Picasso
Hi, this is just a short post to introduce next week’s Style Imitating Art inspiration piece. INSPIRATION ART WORK Two Acrobats with a Dog by Pablo Picasso {The image is from the WikiArts domain collection} This painting was chosen by Salazar because “…of the blue tones (even though it’s actually from Picasso’s Rose Period) and the dog (of course), and the harlequin pattern is also an interesting detail.” Hmmmm, this one is gonna be a tough one for me. I don’t think I own anything any of those shades… You can read more about the painting here. On a related note, this is the second Rose Period painting in the Style…

Ageless Style Linkup: I Saw It On TV
THE AGELESS STYLE LINKUP Hi, welcome to the Ageless Style Linkup. The linkup runs the first Tuesday of each month and features 10 women over the age of 40 styling an outfit based on one theme, and, because we’re all so different, each theme interpretation is different. Each month, one of the co-hosts invites a guest co-host to join us for the linkup. It was my turn to pick the theme and the co-host this month. I chose “I Saw It On TV” because I’m probably the most TV obsessed librarian you’ll ever meet. The thing is, I don’t just watch for the entertainment value, I watch for inspiration {be it clothes,…

Wear for Work: Burgundy Sweater and Denim Skirt
Y’all, the weather this week has been all over the place. One day we’re freezing, the next it’s practically summer. I mean, I really need it to pick a season and last longer than 24 hours. And today it snowed. It. SNOWED. Everyone’s walking around all sniffly and everything. I still have residual <insert snorty noise here> from the flu. In fact, I’m pretty sure that The Walking Dead was prophetic and Georgia really is ground zero for the plague. One of my favorite go to looks to ward off the chill is an over-sized sweater paired with tights and boots. To me, it’s just the ultimate in coziness. How…

Ageless Style Linkup: What Goes Around…
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you had a peaceful introduction to 2018. We did. The Hubs, our youngest daughter, and I spent some time with our oldest daughter and her family and, wow, was it fun. We’re already talking about when we can see them again. The grandkids had us laughing at their antics. They even tried to teach The Hubs some new dance moves. 😳😂 You can see photos from our trip on Instagram, if you like. THE AGELESS STYLE LINKUP So, this is the first Ageless Style Linkup of 2018. Yay! I couldn’t be more excited. There are some exciting changes to announce, but first a little…

We’ve hit the end of the semester at work, so things are getting hectic. I’ll be honest, the beginning and the end of the semester are my favorite times. At the beginning of the semester, everyone is so bright eyed and full of hope and at the end of the semester everyone is like “I DID IT! I SURVIVED!!” Students, staff, and faculty alike. Anyway, I wore this outfit while out rode trippin’ with The Hubs.…

I hope you guys are having a great week so far. I’m just now getting up and around; I’ve been in the bed sick with the flu for the last 12 days. Honest to goodness, I’ve never felt like that before, so if you haven’t gotten your flu shot DO IT!! So, about this dress… I saw it on Zulily and fell in love. I think because it’s just quirky and fun. Honestly, I don’t know who this lady is supposed to…

I’m sitting here watching Alley McBeal and remembering how much I loooooved this show. I mean serious die hard fan. I adored the quirky characters, the soundtrack, and, yes, the fashions. Do you remember how upset everyone was over the length of Ally’s skirts? It was on par with the outcry against Murphy Brown being a single mom on a prime time television show. Anyway, I’ve been having a lot of discussions with friends and family about…

Wear to Work: Choker Blouse and Textured Pants
Hey, y’all. I hope you’re having a great week so far. The Hubs and I are trying to plan our vacations for the rest of the year. We haven’t been able to take the RV out in awhile, so we’re getting a bit of cabin fever. Have you ever been out in an RV? Honestly, I didn’t think I’d like it, but I loooove it. I’m not a good sleeper, but when we go out in the camper, I easily get between 10 and 12 hours of sleep. But it’s not just about the sleep, it’s about the exploring too. Seriously, if you get the chance to try it, do…
