What do you consider a splurge item?
When Marsha suggested this theme, I thought it would be fun to see what everyone considered a splurge item. I do have a few pieces in my closet that cost more than this dress, but I have shared them several times on the blog such as my New Orleans skirt or my “real” cowboy boots. So I spent a few minutes in my closet and realized how much was thrifted or bought on clearance or just a good deal. I then took a look at my dress and while this was not my most expensive dress, I consider it a splurge item because I bought it for a special occasion…

White Dress with Brights for the Ageless Link Up
This month, the Ageless Link Up ladies are showcase white dresses or skirts with bright colors! I decided to share a dress I showcased a couple years ago, this thrifted Crown and Ivy eyelet dress. When I looked up my post, I was surprised to see that I had shared it for an Ageless Link Up too! Here is the post, where I paired it with yellow and pink. Today, I am sharing with multicolored wedges and a scarf I brought back from the Republic of Georgia. I actually bought the pink ball earrings specifically for this post. I used to have a pair of pink and orange ones which…

Summer Alternatives to Shorts with the Ageless Style Link Up
When you thrift and photograph a pretty dress the same day Leslie chooses a theme for the June Ageless Link Up, it is meant to be! I bought this NWT dress (looks like an Asian brand) at Uptown Cheapskate about exactly 2 months before this post. I was drawn to the embroidery and the fun shape of the dress. I tend to wear fitted dresses, but decided to try this and I decided it was too fun and different to pass up. I thought it would be perfect for Pascha (Orthodox Easter) with either white knee length biker shorts or capri leggings. I have a pair of each for these…

Summer Totes with the Ageless Style Link Up
Summer and totes… I have several summer totes that I love, three of which are from France and Spain and a couple of totes from Amazon. So for today’s post, I had many to choose from. I settled on my most recent purchase (in March) because I have found it very practical for traveling and because I plan to take it on our next trip. It is foldable, and is a great size as a purse (I can add a book if I have an appointment, and I can stuff many things in it if I need to). I had packed this tote in my suitcase for my trip to…

Stripes for Spring with the Ageless Style Link Up
I love stripes and have multiple striped tops in my closet, so when Joanne suggested stripes for our April Ageless Style post, it was a matter of choosing which top I wanted to highlight. This is probably my oldest striped top in my closet and if I look closely at it, it is starting to show signs of wear and it is pilling some. However the stripe is thinner and the back has a pretty scoop, so I have not been able to part with it yet. But after washing it once more, it was time: this is its swan song! I remember wearing it in France in 2019 and…

Maxi Skirts in Cold Weather with the Ageless Style Link Up
It is always interesting to see what theme is going to be suggested for our Ageless Style monthly post. I wouldn’t have thought of maxi skirts for winter, but it is a theme that gets us creative and I thoroughly enjoyed wearing this outfit on a bright cold Sunday morning. When wearing a skirt in the winter, you need to think about what to make sure you are warm and I was not cold at all. I picked up this maxi skirt at Belk in the clearance section: I love the print and color and it even has pockets! It is very flowy and not too light for a winter…

Denim with the Ageless Style Link Up
When denim was suggested for our theme for January, I knew I could come up with all kinds of outfits. I decided to share an outfit with skinny jeans because supposedly they are not in style anymore and I feel they are still relevant. Do I wear straight jeans, wide leg jeans, bootcut jeans? Of course, I do, but I still enjoy wearing my skinny jeans once or twice a week. As soon as fall cools off and winter comes around, you will see me wearing all of my denim. While I often wear my skinny jeans with combat boots or riding boots, on this day, I paired them with…

Layer it Up with the Ageless Style Link Up
It was my turn to choose a theme for our monthly style link up and I chose a versatile theme that would work to matter where you lived in the US as layers can be as heavy as a park or as light as a cotton button down shirt. For myself, I chose a piece I haven’t shared on the blog yet, a long sleeveless vest I found on clearance this summer at TJMaxx. I was drawn to this vest for two reasons: the neutral tan color and the uniqueness of the vest. I did not have anything similar in my closet, it could provide warmth on a cold…

Southwestern Inspired Outfit
Leslie, who live in El Paso came up with our theme this month and I was excited to see what I could come up with. I had just purchased a pair of light yellow denim pants on sale from Jjill and headed to Pinterest for some inspiration. I then looked through my closet to put together today’s outfit. In real life, I probably would exchange the denim dress for my black denim shirt, but otherwise I really love this outfit! I first want to share my turquoise jewelry! I wanted my grandmother’s necklace to pop so I chose my black tank to showcase it. My earrings were gifted from brand…

Styling Denim for Summer with the Ageless Style Link Up
Today’s outfit started with this cute pair of earrings which I received as part of a giveaway hosted by Scrub Studio Soaps and SG Sparkles. The set of honeycomb and bee mismatched earrings is so fun and made me think of my French striped top right away. I then thought of my denim skirt which fit perfectly for the today’s theme for the Ageless style link up so here is my denim for summer look! Since I do not wear jeans in the summer (it is too hot and humid for denim pants), I either wear my denim shorts or my denim skirts in the warm months. This denim skirt…
