Happy International Women’s Day! Today, I am joining Miri of Currently Wearing and Sherry of The Life of the Party to celebrate and honor women around the world.

Be sure to stop by and visit both Miri and Sherry today and read how they are celebrating International Women’s Day and what it means to them. For me, I am celebrating by wearing purple, the official color worn to celebrate and honor women worldwide. And it is the perfect…

The September Issue: What to Wear to a Fall Wedding with Rosegal & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #39
I have teamed up once again with an amazing group of super stylish ladies to bring to you a beautiful array of Fall wedding guest outfit inspiration! I am going to a get a little bit crazy and show you two different ways to style my dress. But you will have stop back on Friday to see the second way which is more traditional and the way the dress was shown at Rosegal. When I first laid eyes on this dress, it was screaming at me from the computer screen, insisting that I order it and that I pair it with combat boots. And who am I to argue with a…

Does My Outfit Offend You? & Link Up On the Edge #61 with Gamiss
Does my outfit offend you? Yes, this outfit. A modest midi length dress for fall. With a flouncy layered skirt and a plain black knit top. Perhaps the print is too much? Probably not. The mustard cardigan too bright? Doubtful. The simple gold leaf necklace? How could that possibly be offensive? Maybe it’s the lace up low block heeled pumps? But how? *This is a sponsored post. This dress was given to my by Gamiss in exchange for this post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. *Dress: Leaf Print A Line Ruffle Plus Size Dress ($21.66) c/o Gamiss. Maybe I have misinterpreted your look of disdain as your…

Inspired by Cindy Sherman with Rosegal & Link Up On the Edge #56
I have been enamored with the artwork of Cindy Sherman for more than half of my life. I was first introduced to her work by a college professor in one of my Philosophy classes back in the late 90’s. I was embarking on a quest to complete my first very large research paper, the requirement being a minimum of 30 written pages. Egads. That was a daunting assignment for a teenager. Even more daunting, I decided that I was going to tackle the concept of voyeurism. *This is sponsored post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. I had no idea where to begin. I just knew…

How to Style a Mini Dress with Rosegal & Link Up On the Edge #55
Do you remember my post from May, Mini Dress or Dress for Mini People? If not, you should read it. I use the word vagina. Four times to be exact. In reference to a dress that does not cover mine. And here I have another one for you! *This is a sponsored post. I received this dress in exchange for a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Except this time, I knew this dress would not fit me like a dress. I knew it would not be quite long enough. But I really liked the floral print and the color palette and the high-low hem and the lacy…

The Zyrtec Itchies & A Zaful Dress
I have a little story to share. And a cute little dress from Zaful. Hopefully, it is helpful to some. The story. Not the dress. Although I do hope you like the dress, too. It was gifted to me by Zaful to share with you all. *This is a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Back to my story. The information I am about to share would have been quite helpful to me had I known. But I found out the hard way. It seems that the popular over the counter allergy medication, Zyrtec, is quite physically addicting and you can experience some horrendous withdrawal symptoms when…

20 Things You Probably Didn’t Know & Link Up On the Edge #54
Once again, I have been procrastinating on my blog post because I have been at a loss for topics to discuss. Which is quite a strange phenomenon for a woman who could literally talk the face off of a marble statue. Fortunately for me, however, I have lots and lots of super creative blogger friends who inspire me daily. And thanks to Linda of A Labour of Life and her post today You Probably Don’t Know Part II (you can find the link to Part I in her post), I have been inspired to share some little known things about myself. If you know me really well, then some of…

What to Wear to a Summer Wedding with DressLily & Link Up On the Edge #52
It is summer wedding season and although I do not have any open invitations this year, my brother-in-law is getting married next May. In preparation for that event, I have been trying out some different dress options. My boys will both be in the wedding all decked out in their little tuxedos and most likely not on their best behavior. I’m sure I will have to intervene and assist them at some point, putting me directly in the spotlight for at least a moment, since it is a natural human instinct to look at the parents of the rowdy children and wonder what the hell kind of mother allows their…

Self Confidence Saturdays with Torrid & Link Up On the Edge #48
If I am being honest, which I always try to keep it real and honest here, I am feeling quite lazy and don’t much have it in me to write something of substance today. Don’t misunderstand, it’s not that I don’t have anything to say. I have plenty to say, in fact. But I need some time to focus and put all of my ideas in order so I can deliver you the best content possible. So for today, to kick off the weekend, I am just going to share with you this pretty wrap dress from Torrid. Peach is not a color that I am generally drawn to, but…

Celebrating my Birthday with DressLily and #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #23
Today is my birthday! And every year I tell myself that I am not going to get all giddy about it like a child. And every year, I fail. I can’t help myself. I get giddy. I get excited. And I tell everyone. It’s my birthday! I am so grateful to have made it through another year. I am so thankful that I am here to celebrate another birthday. And I am so blessed to have this wonderful life! So why not celebrate? *This is a sponsored post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are completely my own. For my birthday, I did a fun photo shoot in Clayton, New…
