Spring trends 2024… There have been many blog posts and articles about the Spring trends for 2024. I’m not reinventing any wheels here, my friends, but I thought I’d give you my take on one of the Spring trends for this year. As many of you know, skinny jeans are considered out. I was never …
Style Imitating Art… Welcome to Style Imitating Art! Style Imitating Art comes from Salazar, Shelbee, and me. You can think of this series as fashion meets art museum!

I have been taking naps! We got a new TV for the third bedroom. I turn on the electric blanket, crawl inside the cozy bed, turn the TV onto a baking show, and sleep! I guess I’ve only done it two days, but it’s a little out of the ordinary for me. I need to …
Woman of a certain age… As a woman of a certain age, I’ve come across this strange set of rules. One of them is a woman of a certain age shouldn’t wear loud or bright eyeshadow. We should wear a good neutral eye…I guess so that we blend into the background. Well, if you took …

Wow! It is hard to believe the holidays are in the rearview mirror. But, what is really hard to wrap my head around is that is was 60 degrees (16C) here in Central Indiana on Christmas Day! Now, we are experiencing true winter weather. When I woke up yesterday, it was -7 (-21.7C). Next week, …
I commented on Rena’s post I really struggled with defining my style. My brother told me the look on my last post (here) reminded him of Magda (I think she’s probably a character on “Dark Shadows”). Someone else said it was bohemian. I think the look was boho with some hippie vibes thrown in. Today, …
Heyo! How is life going for all of you? Are you back to work or school? Or, are you lucky, like me, and it’s just another day? I’m not officially adopting any resolutions, but I’m going to try to shop my closet more this year. I don’t want to bore you so I’ll try to …
