The Fab 40’s Celebrate Superheroes
Yesterday was National Superhero Day. I don’t think Suzy knew this when she chose the theme for this month’s Fab 40’s. Maybe she did though. Or maybe the universe purposely planted that seed in her mind to pick such a timely theme to be posted the day after we celebrate our own personal heroes, both real and fictional. In any event, here we are again, The Fab 40’s, bringing you some style inspiration borrowed from our favorite superheroes. The Fab 40’s is a group of six fashion bloggers from around the globe. Each month we choose a different theme and invite a guest blogger who is also in their 40’s to…

So when I was asked to participate in this month’s Fab 40s collaboration with the theme of Inspired by our favorite Disney Princesses, I was excited, flattered, honored, and completely willing to accept the challenge.

A Myriad of Stripes and the Ups and Downs of Shapewear
I was going to write a 4th of July post for today, but frankly I’m kind of over all of the red, white, and blue outfits…I personally have been wearing some version of red, white, and blue for the past 5 days! I love the color combination, but now we are entering overkill territory. So here is some black and tan for you all! Happy Independence Day, America! I bought this striped maxi dress about a year ago from Cato Fashions and this is the first time I am wearing it…because it required some serious shapewear and I have been somewhat shapewear-averse. Until recently. A good friend of mine swears…
