Inspired by Monica and Ewa: Poncho Love & Link Up On the Edge #134
Happy Friday, my friends! I have to say I am getting seriously bored and frustrated with the Winter weather now. I’m cold and there is always snow on the ground. And at this point in the season, the snow is all mucky and black and splotchy and just plain old gross! Although just the other day, we did get a fresh new coating of clean snow…again. It will be all icky in a day or two. But complaining about the weather really is quite fruitless. It brings me no joy and it changes nothing. So I’ll stop there and move on to sharing with you another outfit inspired by some…

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-October 2018-Plaid
Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book! Welcome! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. Over a year ago, Nancy and I started The Bad Buy Book, a monthly series about our worst purchases. It was a lot of fun to do and we both learned something from it, too! Nancy learned that off-white against her face is not the most flattering color. And I learned that I have a serious problem resisting a good thrift shop find when it comes to pieces that fit “good enough” but “not quite right.” However, after running that series for a year, we decided to change it a bit. For this series, you can choose…

5 More Life Lessons & Link Up On the Edge #20
In my last post When a Talker Runs Out of Things to Say, I mentioned that I currently am suffering from writer’s block. Unfortunately, it is quite the persistent bout with the block. So here are 5 more life lessons that I have learned along the way (numbers 6 through 10 from my original post), another fall outfit, and a link up. 1. I have learned that all romantic relationships will be the wrong ones until you find the right one. So know that with each failed relationship, you are that much closer to the right one. 2. I have learned that each person will handle and react to identical…

My Other Plaid Poncho
* Note: I have been using the terms poncho and cape sort of interchangably. I understand they are different articles of clothing, but I am going to stick with my ignorant blurring of fashion lines for now…mostly for consistency in my posts. I published a post 2 weeks ago about My Plaid Poncho which showcased my red and gray poncho from Old Navy. And I thought I was satisfied with owning only one plaid poncho…until I saw this gray and rust one in Target. And it was included in a 25% off all women’s clothing sale, so of course, I could not resist. I was lazy and miserable today and…

My Plaid Poncho
The September issue (which came out in August) of Redbook Magazine featured this red plaid poncho in their piece “Fab Fall Style Under $100.” It is from Old Navy, one of my favorite places to shop. And for only $39.94 for wool-blend outerwear, I thought this was a great deal! But I couldn’t find it in Old Navy for a really long time. I would check the store, then the website. Nothing. Finally sometime in October, there was the poncho available online. But I really wanted to check out the quality in person before making my purchase. I kept checking in the store and it was not there and the…
