    Color Burst

    30 July 2014 / 4 Comments

      Well, hello there! I hope your week has been fabulous so far. Mine has been great. I’m two days in to a seven day running streak, so yay! My muscles are sore but my mind and spirit are clear. And can you see the muscle definition forming in the front of my legs? I’ve always thought I somewhat resembled Sponge Bob Square Pants. giggle So today I’m all about color and pattern. My theory on color is if you see it together in nature, you can wear it on your body. Really, isn’t God the ultimate designer? You are familiar with His work, right? Stunning! As for pattern mixing,…

    Vintage Pin-Up with a Modern Twist

    4 June 2014 / 0 Comments

    One of the things I’ve enjoyed most about watching my children grow up is seeing their individual style develop. When she was younger, my daughter’s style was very similar to my own: very bohemian. But in recent years {actually, since she started college}, she’s found her own fashion niche.   I think her style is both eclectic and classic. I call it vintage pin~up with a modern twist. Now go play in your closet,

    Happy New Year and 2014 Plans {In the Closet}

    1 January 2014 / 10 Comments

    Happy New Year! Do you have big plans for 2014? I don’t have any resolutions. I have a hard time with those because I never follow through with them. I do have a few goals for this year: Read the Bible in a Year ~ I read the Bible in 90 days a few years ago and enjoyed it. I think it’s time to do it again but on a less intense level. Sign on for One Word 2014 ~ last year’s word was “Life”… I’m still not sure what this year’s word will be but I’m sure God will reveal it in His time. Learn to use my Nikon…

    What I Wore Wednesday #29

    14 December 2011 / 16 Comments

    JOIN ME FOR SHOE STYLE SATURDAY THIS SATURDAY FOR MORE INFORMATION, CLICK HERE Last week I talked about how I’d entered a fashion slump so I was using the Outfit Inspiration Calendar posted by Fab Finds Under $50 to dress each morning, and let me tell ya, it’s worked! I’ve worn items in my closet that I haven’t worn in months (years?) and put together textures and patterns that I would have shied away from a long time ago. Seriously, if you need to step out of your fashion comfort zone, I totally recommend using the calendar. Thursday: Add Some Pink I’m so not a pink girl so this was a bit…

    What I Wore Wednesday #28

    7 December 2011 / 6 Comments

    Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve participated in What I Wore Wednesday. Don’t worry, I haven’t been walking around nekkid or anything, but I have been in a bit of a fashion funk. Yeah, I was still putting together my outfits but it was just taking so much effort. And everything was starting to look the same, then I stumbled across Fab Finds Under $50 and my inspiration was renewed. Each month, Kimberly provides a calendar with daily fashion challenges to try. Fun, no? Now I can’t guarantee that I’ll participate every day but I know that I will try to hit every day that I possibly can.  What…
