Welcome back to another edition of the Fashion Files, hosted by Amy and me! If you don’t know Amy, her blog is Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa. It seems like fashion link parties are slowly disappearing, and I didn’t want that to happen to this link up. If you’re a fashion blogger, please spread the …
Well, I’m finally going to say it which means it will frost! I think Spring has come to Indiana. Everything is coming up roses, literally! My rose bushes both have buds that look to bloom in a week or so. There are a couple of perennials on the hump that don’t appear to be coming …
Last month, we had 10-12 inches of snow on the ground as I wrote my post. This past week, we had temperatures that were more like spring than winter. All of the snow is completely gone. Mother Nature pulled a fast one on me, though. I thought Spring was arriving early. Well, the joke’s on …
Life lately… I’m hoping to get this out on Thursday because, if not, it will be the third Friday of the month! You know how some days you just wake up in a funky mood? Yeah, that was me yesterday. Unfortunately, it was also Nigel. It was the first day of the week with nothing …
Style Imitating Art… Welcome to the very first Style Imitating Art of 2026. Salazar, Shelbee, and I are the curators. You can think of this series as fashion meets art museum!

Life lately… As most of you know, I’m not, by nature, a calendar person. I don’t like using them, but I have discovered, with my docent responsibilities, they are a necessary evil. That being said, it really didn’t occur to me until Tuesday that next week is Christmas! I don’t even know if I’ve got …
When Jodie mentioned this skirt in an email, I thought, “Why not try it?” Turns out, Mireille may have thought the same thing. So, today’s post is going to be a three-fer. I’ll provide links to both of their posts a little later. I’m always a sucker for a challenge in case you haven’t noticed! …
Life lately… Where in the world did October go? It’s my favorite month, and we are already at the third Thursday of the month? How can that be? I just celebrated a birthday and heard from all of my people. I love hearing from all of them on the same day! Nigel is still struggling …
Remember when you could… I have to chuckle at myself some times. I have reached the age when the words, “I remember when” come out of my mouth more and more often. Just the other day, I was telling my grandson you could buy a candy bar for a nickel! Yes, for those of you …
Rules… Now, I’ll be the first to admit I am a rule follower. I think it’s kinda inherent when you’re a teacher. You expect rules to be followed, and eventually, you become a rule follower. But, I think fashion rules are really just guidelines. It’s kinda like the speed limits on 465 around Indianapolis…55 is …
