Last month, my friend Jodie shared ways to pull a color from a print to create an outfit. One of her sentences in her post really stood out to me “this is how outfits feel artistic instead of accidental” and it made me realize that Jodie creates art with fashion when she puts together outfits. Here is her blog post and yes, her outfit is definitely a really cool piece of walking art. She creates wonderful canvases of colors in patterns through her outfits. While my style tends to be more subdued and a mixture of boho and classic pieces, I do love to have fun with outfits too and…

Bohemian looks combine flowy silhouettes, earthy colors and often include details such as embroidery, fringe and natural jewelry. I often think of wooden, leather or clay earrings to add to my boho looks. Since I have a number of maxi skirts, I decided to wear some of them by styling in a bohemian fashion at the end of February. I tried to wear a variety of footwear, but since the skirts are long, you cannot always see my boots and shoes. Colorful Maxi I first paired my skirt (one of my favorites) with my newly thrifted purple sweater, but while they paired nicely together, the outfit did not have a…

One of the things I love about my friend Jodie and one of the reasons I mention her often on the blog is that she thinks outside the box. I sometimes wear my things in simple combinations and while that is perfectly fine, sometimes it is fun to create an outfit with a little more interest and spice. So today, I am sharing an idea that I copied from an outfit she shared on Instagram last month. We both own a number of Halftees as we have purchased some and have received some from the company, and one day, she layered two Halftees together! What a great idea! I have…

Mid December, I decided to take a break from thrifting for a month and a half and focus on wearing all of my sweaters and winter clothes, as well as all of the things I had thrifted since November. I was aiming for a clothes shopping fast of 45 days, but I ended with it being 41 days. I really enjoyed the creativity it encouraged, the fun I had organizing my closet, and the peace it brought to my mind. I jumped back into thrifting with an inexpensive trip, spending $13 (a lined American Eagle denim bomber, a navy lace tee and a black zipper knit jacket). Here are some…

This is a fun theme for the Ageless Style Link up because we live in different climates: we come from Arizona, Canada, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut and Wisconsin! So I decided to show you the range of outerwear you might wear if you live a little north of Atlanta, Georgia. We have had snows here in winter (but only about every 7 years or so and maybe once in February), so usually a real down jacket is not typically needed. I tend to wear a variety of jackets/coats in the winter, and most of mine are thrifted. I am sharing some of the outerwear I have worn this month. This year,…
