Fab Forties: Apocalypse

One of my favorite TV shows ever is The Walking Dead. Please don’t @ me on this. I will fight you. Anyway, when I lived in Missouri, my coworkers and I used to meet first thing Monday morning to discuss the previous evening’s episode. We even came up with a survival plan for the library…

New Eyes and Some Fun Colors

Well, hello! Notice anything different? Yep, I’m wearing glasses. But not just any glasses, my new specs from Zenni Optical. Aren’t they fabulous? I have really super incredibly bad eyesight, so I’ve never had the pleasure of buying funky eyewear. Everything had to be conservative because, well, my glasses are expensive and I didn’t want…

Fab Forties: Western Wear

When I was invited to join the Fab Forties I had no idea I’d be stretched so far out of my sartorial comfort zone. First, it was a goth look and now it’s Western Wear. Naturally, the first thing I did {after groaning} was hit up Pinterest for some inspiration. As you can tell, most…

Embroidered Round Neck Boho Top with Distressed Denim Shorts and Sandals

This look was totally stolen from inspired by my style sister, Heidi from Fashion Mama Pro. I mean, I’ve worn this top several times before {you can see the different ways I’ve worn it here}, but I’d never considered wearing it with shorts and high heeled sandals until I saw Heidi. This blouse is –…

Cranberry Criss Cross Top and Plaid Pixie Pants with Black Oxfords

Hi, I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was ok. I went and got a manicure and looked at cars. I’m thinking about getting rid of the Hummer. I know… I know… I said that’d never happen, but things change. Anyway, I was supposed to go visit my daughter, but we ended up having…

How to Wear Boho in the Office

I’ve always worked in casual environments – business casual during the week and jeans on Fridays – therefore, my personal style was never really an issue. Now I work in a much more formal environment. We’re still business casual during the week, but since I’m now a member of the administration, I have to bump…

Baby Doll Top and Flare Leg Jeans

Hi, everyone! Hope y’all are having a great week so far. I am – I signed my offer letter for my new job as Director of Library Services at a local community college. I’m both excited and nervous — I’ve never been in charge of a library before. But I’m ready to take on the…
