Do you ever get up in the morning, look in your closet and think, I have nothing to wear? Or do you feel totally uninspired by what you see hanging up? That was me last Friday. I think I tried three different looks before I ended up sitting at the foot of my bed and watching TV. Fridays are casual days for us at work and, as much as I love wearing my jeans, there are times when I’m…

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…

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.…
