I saw this influencer’s outfit and thought I could come up with ways to change it up. Thus began this challenge: how to make an outfit more interesting. Quote of the day: “It doesn’t matter what you say you believe; it only matters what you do.” Robert Fulghum Because here’s the thing: knowing how to make an outfit more interesting isn’t about buying more clothes. It’s about using what you already own in creative ways. And I’m not here to criticize the inspirational photo. Sure, it’s too basic and plain for me, but that doesn’t make it bad. I just thought it wo…

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can mix stripes and polka dots, the answer is a resounding yes. In fact, combining prints is one of the easiest ways to create a look that feels creative and full of personality. Yet so many women avoid it because they’re worried they’ll get it “wrong�…

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can mix stripes and polka dots, the answer is a resounding yes. In fact, combining prints is one of the easiest ways to create a look that feels creative and full of personality. Yet so many women avoid it because they’re worried they’ll get it “wrong” or it’s “too much.” Quote of the day: “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” Albert Einstein So when Marsha suggested this prompt for our Ageless Style Group, I knew there would be a couple of eye rolls with my crew. But you’d never know it looking at t…

When people hear me talking about my healthy lifestyle now, they might assume I’ve always lived this way. But that’s not the case at all. So, in all transparency, I thought I’d share what I did wrong. Quote of the day: “Remain focused on the core problem, but explore a new line of att…

When people hear me talking about my healthy lifestyle now, they might assume I’ve always lived this way. But that’s not the case at all. So, in all transparency, I thought I’d share what I did wrong. Quote of the day: “Remain focused on the core problem, but explore a new line of attack. Persistence is not just about effort, but also strategy. Don’t merely try harder, try differently.” James Clear In fact, I truly believe that I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been, and that’s saying something because I’m 60 years old. Looking back, I’m not sure I would have done…

Styling fringe purses may make you think about boho concerts and festivals, but I truly believe in the power of dichotomy when it comes to our looks. Quote of the day: “Just because you fail once doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything.” Marilyn Monroe I always like to say th…

Styling fringe purses may make you think about boho concerts and festivals, but I truly believe in the power of dichotomy when it comes to our looks. Quote of the day: “Just because you fail once doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything.” Marilyn Monroe I always like to say that we are NOT one-dimensional, and thus our outfits shouldn’t be either. Since our Thrifty 6 group called out styling fringe, I took it a step further and decided to explore fringe purses. Fringe accessories can add movement, texture, and personality to an outfit, but many women avoid them bec…

If someone had told me a year ago that I’d be writing about the adventures of a 2 year old cat, I probably would have laughed. After all, we’ve always rescued senior cats who were perfectly content to nap in sunbeams and not be any trouble. Quote of the day: “Since you cannot do good to…

If someone had told me a year ago that I’d be writing about the adventures of a 2 year old cat, I probably would have laughed. After all, we’ve always rescued senior cats who were perfectly content to nap in sunbeams and not be any trouble. Quote of the day: “Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.” Saint Augustine Then Maverick came into our lives. For the past six months, we’ve been learning what it’s like to live with a young cat…

Swing dresses are one of those magical wardrobe pieces that are comfortable, forgiving, and easy to wear. But I wouldn’t be surprised if many of you thought they weren’t flattering. I’m here to say that there are many ways to wear a swing dress, and you can break the rules or follow them. Quote of the day: “Your response to a challenge defines you more than the challenge itself.” James Clear I had the four of us work on options for “how to style” a swing dress. Instead of wearing them traditionally, each of us experimented with a different styling technique to show just…

I remember when I first started writing in fashion and style, there were certain rules associated with long skirt style. Rules like: define your waist, wear heels, keep proportions balanced, and don’t mix too many patterns. Quote of the day: “Be adaptable. You don’t need the day to go p…

I remember when I first started writing in fashion and style, there were certain rules associated with long skirt style. Rules like: define your waist, wear heels, keep proportions balanced, and don’t mix too many patterns. Quote of the day: “Be adaptable. You don’t need the day to go perfectly to make it a good one.” James Clear While I believe guidelines can be helpful at times, I also believe that the most interesting outfits happen when you break the rules. By now, we have learned that style isn’t about following formulas. It’s about experimenting and having fun. L…
