Inspired by Jeans and a Teacup: Shirtdress over Jeans
In my last post, I talked about being kind to yourself and accepting yourself with all of your flaws, faults, and insecurities. That post was triggered by an overall feeling of weariness and an ugly mood that I have been experiencing this past week. I was hoping it would have lifted by now, but unfortunately it has not. And when I get in these funks, all inspiration seems to go missing right along with my general happy go lucky demeanor. But I have become quite the master of fake it ’til you make it, so you may never know of my downright pissy attitude unless I tell you. Except for…

Another Plaid Dress with Another Halftee
Do you remember the gray plaid dress I wore to the pumpkin patch about a week and a half ago with a black Halftee? Well, just in case you don’t remember, let me quickly refresh you about this wonderful layering option in women’s fashion.

Halftees fit with the perfect amount of snugness to keep things smooth and in place underneath your clothes. No bunching, no scrunching, no…

On Beneficence & Link Up On the Edge #88
Many of you may already know that my website was hacked this week which resulted in my having to pull the entire site offline until the issue was resolved. Clearly, it has been resolved and I am back up and running as if nothing had ever happened. Except I probably have a few more gray hairs and I may have lost a few pounds from lack of food consumption during the incredibly stressful past few days. I want to properly thank all of the people who were involved in fixing the problem, but I am going to save that for my Tuesday #SpreadTheKindness Link Up…because it is a perfectly suited topic…

Gingham is My Jam
Gingham is my jam. Seriously. I am currently having a love affair with all things gingham. It makes me smile. It makes me feel like a kid. It makes me feel like a bright, lazy summer’s day. Like an easy spring afternoon. Like a leisurely stroll through a flower garden. Like a nostalgic time that has long gone. Like a fresh, airy breeze. Like a genuine smile. Like a sincere compliment. Like uncomplicated innocence. Like sunshine. Like lemonade. Like spontaneity. Like purity. Like perfect ennui. Outfit details: Gingham Dress: Old Navy Tie-Waist Midi Shirt Dress in Blue Gingham (no longer available, but the solid white is available in limited sizes)…
