What would Mother say… I’m not sure about your mom, but I’m pretty sure my mom would be OK with wearing white after Labor Day these days. She didn’t wear lots of white as it was. Whenever I think of Mom and white, I always remember a family vacation when she’d bought a brand new …
I apologize from the beginning. There will be no photos of pumpkins in this post. But, I do have pumpkins on my mind. We went to Newfields (aka Indianapolis Museum of Art) today. The architects knew what they were doing when they designed the gift shop. One full (almost) wall of the gift shop is …
A different denim dress… I love a good denim dress. I have several in different washes. Most of them are shirt dresses. But, this one! Oh, this is so different from the others! I bought it on my trip to Asheville. You can read about that here. This is the Jackie Denim Dress. I like …
And Cyber Monday, too.. I bet you’d be surprised to learn that, originally, Black Friday had absolutely nothing to do with shopping! It referred to the change of color in retailers’ ledgers. It was first used in…wait for it…1869!! That year saw a financial crisis when the US’s gold standard tanked. Most stores were “in …
Choices… Nigel and I decided to take a little road trip. I recently celebrated my birthday, and this trip was my present (he said). This time of year is one of those iffy times. If you go north, you never know what the weather is going to be. If you go south, you may or …

It’s the final Friday of September if you can believe it! That means it’s time for another edition of print mixing. I recently bought this Free to Be Button Down from Kantha Bae. I decided to use it for the centerpiece of my look. I was going to go with stripes which is my go …
I wasn’t sure what to call this particular version of print mixing. I’m amazed at how well these two prints went together so I decided upon same color palette! The dress is several years old and from J Jill. The kimono/top is from Johnny Was and is also several years old. If you look closely …
“When Doves Cry” Usually, I begin these posts whining about how short a month has been. July is crawling like a puppy stuck in peanut butter and taking time to clean off his paws all the while having said peanut butter stuck to the top of his mouth! It is dragging, my friends! But, having …
You need some… Do you have golden friends? I am talking about those people in your lives who love you no matter what, can finish your sentences, laugh at the same goofy things, basically, your husband/wife/significant other in friend form! I have been blessed with lots of friends in my life. But, they have come …
