Adventures in Thrifting Part 2: Teal Tie Dye Top & Link Up on the Edge #216
It has been a month since I shared my Adventures in Thrifting Part 1 where I featured a sky blue denim jumper. Although I am almost always wearing something preloved, I wanted to start putting more focus on the importance and the fun of shopping for preloved items. With the fashion industry being the third largest contributor to landfill and other environmental pollution, there is no better time than the present to start making changes in our consumption habits to minimize the damage and make this planet a healthier place for our descendants. I have to admit that I still have lots of improvements to make in my own shopping…

Inspired by Fine Whatever: Would You, Could You? Double Denim & Ruana
Why yes, I can, Rena, my friend! I would, I could, and I absolutely should…wear double denim with a ruana. Except I call it a kimono. But who really knows what the proper term is for these lovely toppers we wear anyway? In fact, I was so bewildered by all the different topper styles that I dedicated an entire blog post to The Great Topper Confusion. Kimonos, ruanas, ponchos, and shawls. I love them all the same no matter what they are called. Now that I have made my love for topper pieces quite clear, shall we discuss double denim. Oh, hold on, I dedicated an entire post to The…

How to Style a Tie Dyed Neckerchief & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #27
If you know me at all from a style perspective, then you know that scarves are my thing. My favorite accessory ever. The easiest way to add color and interest to any outfit. Although my personal collection of scarves runs in excess of 100 (probably closer to 200, if I am being completely honest), I still cannot pass up a fun and interesting scarf when I see one. And when I saw this adorable tie dyed bandana made by Heather of HomemadeHaven, I simply could not pass it by. I love the deep blues and purples in the dyes she chose. And I thought it would be the perfect accessory…

Denim, Denim, Plaid, and Cowgirl Boots
I just realized how much I am enjoying my denim jackets this season (I have three). I have been wearing them most days lately since the temperatures have been in the 50’s and denim is exactly the right amount of warmth for me. I also am enjoying experimenting with the double denim trend. Last time I wore double denim, I paired two shades of blue denim together. This time, I went with black denim pants and a light blue denim jacket. And I really liked the contrast created with the super dark and the very pale. I layered a blue, black, and white flannel shirt over a black tank and…

Double Denim and Pearls
I have been wanting to try the double denim trend, but I wasn’t sure if I would be comfortable with it. The only way to find out if I could pull it off was to just pull it off and wear it with confidence. By the end of the day, I did feel pretty awesome in my double denim. I paired dark wash skinny jeans with a lighter wash denim top. I am thinking that this is the best way to style double denim. I think darker on top and lighter on bottom would look weird. For me, at least. But please feel free to prove me wrong! I added…
