Tweed with the Ageless Style Link Up
It was my turn to choose a theme for the month of January, and as I was putting together some outfits to wear one week in November, I thought it was time to wear this skirt again. While I have seen many tweed jackets while thrifting and some really cute ones, I have never brought any home, maybe because I really don’t need another jacket especially one that I might not wear as often as my others. However, I really do like this tweed mini skirt I have had for several years even if I don’t wear it often. I usually wear it about twice each winter (I shared it…

Snow Princess: Styling my Oldest Piece for the Ageless Style Link Up
When Marsha suggested us styling our oldest piece for this month theme for the Ageless Link Up, I knew I could come up with something fun with this springy dress even though it is winter. I really don’t know how old this dress is, and I am not even sure where I got it from. It might have been JCPenney as I originally thought it was from Cato’s, but the tag was not from there. I know I bought it to wear for Easter years ago and I feel like it is probably 15 years old, if not more. I don’t wear it very often, but I wore it for…

Vests for the Ageless Style Link Up
Vests… sweater ones, long ones, cropped ones, suit vests… there are many kinds of vests to choose from nowadays. For this month’s theme of vests, I chose my trench vest to feature here. I’ve worn it as a dress before as well as over a dress, jeans, and a skirt. It is very versatile and useful in the south as it gives you a layer without sleeves: a little warmth, but not too much! For today’s look, I wanted to wear it as a layered look with my button down. I played a little with textures: liquid leather skinny pants from Clara Sunwoo, snakeskin booties and the texture from the…

Colors of Fall with the Ageless Style Link Up
When Colors of Fall was suggested as our September theme for the Ageless Style Link Up, I knew right away that I wanted to wear this skirt that I thrifted for a few dollars in August. I had no idea which top I was going to wear with it, but when I realized how nice the lighting was an evening a couple weeks ago, I decided that we were going to take several sets of blog pictures. My youngest had just spent some of his money on a ninja dress up outfit, so he wanted to replenish his coffers. One of my favorite colors to wear in the fall is…

Back to School with the Ageless Style Link Up
Everyone in my household is back to school, so this month’s Ageless style theme is appropriate! Since I am not going back to school myself, I thought I would share an outfit inspired by Pinterest that I would take would be perfect for the first day of school as a teacher and also that I would wear any day of the week early fall! When I saw this colorful outfit, I knew I wanted to replicate it because the color combo was so bright and fun! I was very easy to settle on the blouse and pants as I had something in the same color scheme. I had forgotten about…

Beat the Heat with the Ageless Style Link Up
It’s time to beat the heat with the Ageless Style Link Up. Today’s theme was chose by Amy from Amy’s Creative Pursuits and I was inspired by one of the #wearitwednesday’s Instagram theme of bathing suits for today’s post. I really don’t mind wearing a bathing suit and wear 2 pieces, tankini sets and one pieces, but really do not like how I look in pictures when wearing one. And for modesty’s sake, I don’t usually feel confortable sharing pictures of me wearing a suit on social media. However, I really liked Jodie’s idea of wearing a bathing suit as part of an outfit and I have two tankini tops…

Fuzzy with the Ageless Style Link Up
It it always fun to see what the girls will chose for the month for our link up and today it is time to talk about fuzzy clothes. I love how clothes have different texture: smooth silk, soft velvet, fuzzy fur. I decided to share how I would transition a winter look with my thrifted fuzzy furry vest. Winter Look This first look I wore to church at the end of January. My thrifted white boots have been a pair of shoes that I reach for often: they are just plain fun to wear. The fleece lined tights kept me warm and of course, so did the vest. I don’t…

Pinks and Reds with the Ageless Style Link Up
Pinks and reds is an appropriate theme for February! I didn’t want to share a look that was very thematic, so when I was putting together a church outfit last month and realized the skirt was predominantly pink, I decided to incorporate it in a look that would work all winter long including February! Here’s a little breakdown of this outfit: the skirt is a summer skirt from Billabong that I was influenced to buy a couple years ago. It’s a style that I like, but the side slit is really high and you will see my solution for that in the picture below. High it is! I wore my…

Casual Holiday Looks with the Ageless Style – In Memory of Mimi
It’s time for the Ageless Style Link Up and today is all about Casual Christmas Looks. I have been sharing a lot of Christmas outfit inspiration these past couple of weeks, so I had to be creative today to come up with something different! My mother-in-law passed away last month just 2 weeks shy of her 81st birthday and I wanted to dedicate this blog post to her. Mimi lived with us the past 6 years after she took care of her aging mom for about 8 years. She was an enthusiastic Alabama football fan (all of her clothes were Alabama collegiate fan wear), a gardener (she is the one…

Chocolate Brown with the Ageless Style Link Up
Amy from Amy’s Creative Pursuit chose chocolate brown as the theme for our November Ageless Style Link Up as it is a trending color this fall. I’ve been sorely lacking in browns the past few years, so with that in mind I stopped by my new favorite thrift stop (Park Ave Thrift) to see what I could find! The only 2 other chocolate brown pieces in my closet were a bodysuit which I am wearing under this little jacket and a faux leather mini skirt which I will be sharing again on the blog next month. While keeping my eyes peeled for something brown and looking for a black blazer,…
