How to Style Overalls for Cold Weather & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #204
Once all the holiday hoopla dies down and the reality of the very long winter that still lies ahead sets in, I often find myself feeling rather melancholic for the entire month of January. Adding insult to injury, of course, is this particular January when there is no apparent end in sight to all the things that have bugged me all the past year long. But perspective and gratitude are my focus words for the year 2021, so I will not indulge my burning urge to vent and scream and cry and throw rage at the wind until I feel better. Fueling such fires never comes to any sort of…

Inspired by Aquamarina Style: Cute Summer Top for Casual Days
Summer feels like it is coming to a screeching halt as our nighttime temperatures are now dipping into the 40’s. It is that time of year when we start to see the temperatures swinging 30 degrees in either direction throughout the course of a day. Is it hot? Is it cold? What should I wear to be comfortable? There is sort of a sartorial art form involved in getting transitional outfits right. In the season of strategic layering, it is important to ensure that your outfit is complete and coordinated even as you add or shed layers throughout the day. Lightweight cardigans and sleeveless tops seem to make the most…

A Good Ole Fashioned Ass-Kicking & Link Up On the Edge #199
This week has really kind of kicked my ass in the grandest fashion. It began with PMS sending an earth shattering surge of hormones through my body which left me feeling tired, irritable, and frustrated. I also tend to feel anger that verges on rage during these hormonal episodes. And that is a very unpleasant feeling for me. Then Jeff left for a three day trip to West Point (he is home now). About an hour after he left, I heard some awful news about the unexpected death of a friend. All of these things on top of a world that has been breaking my heart daily and I have…

The Sunday Afternoon Quarterback #5: Where Did All the Offense Go?
#12 Penn State Nittany Lions 35 – Purdue Boilermakers 7 Seriously, where did all the offense go? That was the question of the second half at Beaver Stadium for the Nittany Lions yesterday. Scoring on their first four drives and sprinting out to a 28-0 lead with ten minutes to go in the first half, the Lions and their powerful offense were held in check by a Boilermaker defense in the second half before scoring again with six minutes to go in the game. Sean Clifford’s second interception of the year was really the turning point for the offensive shutdown. It seems that this play was enough to give Purdue…

4 Ways to Try a New Trend without Breaking the Bank
Let’s face it, fashion is as fickle as the weather. With every new season, we see new trends surfacing while older trends drift off into oblivion only to be resurrected into a modernized version of their original form two decades in the future. When the coolest fad from winter is eclipsed by the next fresh thing of spring, how do we possibly stay abreast of it all? And for the person who loves to stay fashionably en vogue with the ever changing trends, how can it be done without completely breaking the bank? *This is a sponsored post.

New Year’s Resolution for 2017: I Choose Joy
