It was a rough week. I had a headache the entire time and even went to the chiropractor twice. And considering how much we had planned, I plugged along and worked through the pain. Heck, I even took Advil 3 out of the days and that’s unusual for me. In my working and unhealthy days, I ODed on Advil all of the time, so I try not to take it now.

Wearing stripes is something you can add to any outfit since the print is available in every type of clothing. Joanne, from our Ageless Style group, came up with the prompt about wearing stripes, so I wanted to show a bonanza of clothing and how we styled it. Quote of the day: “If you want to make a permanent change, stop focusing on the size of your problems and start focusing on the size of you!” T. Harv Eker What can I say about stripes? They are one of those prints that can be controversial. I know many a women who won’t wear horizontal stripes because they imagine it makes them look bigge ..read more

I was introduced to the popular kitchen zones organization idea and realized that’s exactly how I think about organizing our kitchen. Since we recently moved into our new house which always means a reorganizational period, I wanted to share some of these quality kitchen zones organization products that I’ve put into place. Quote of the day: “The bad days are more important than the good days. If you write or exercise or meditate or cook when you don’t feel like it, then you maintain the habit. And if you maintain the habit, then all you need is time.” James Clear Having the right kitchen organ ..read more

For our Thrifty 6 group of women, Shelbee decided we should style Denim Days. I know most women our age think that if you’re wearing denim, the rest of the outfit should be casual. Yet I think we get more from our closets if we use dichotomy in our looks. So I had my crew think about which fancy shirts to wear with blue jeans. Quote of the day: “Never let the things you want make you forget the things you have.” Sanchita Pandey I always love the idea of pairing something fancy with something more casual. In this day and age, the young girls wear blue jeans with anything and everything. And wom ..read more

Bettye’s prompt for this month’s Where Bloggers Live was our favorite season. And since I’m an equal opportunity season lover, I thought I’d get reflective about the seasons of your life instead. Quote of the day: “Who wants to reach the end of their life in a perfectly preserved body? The scars and crinkles and the cracks are what make us interesting.” Bear Grylis Life is so interesting right, because you think you know so much when you are younger, and as you get on through the seasons of your life you realize that you still don’t know much. Oh, there are certain things you know. Like your a ..read more

With the changing silhouette of pants seen everywhere now, I thought it would be appropos (that word is a nod to MK who loves the word and thinks I should use it as much as possible), to talk about what tops to wear with wide leg pants. Quote of the day: “The beginner chases the right answers. The master chases the right questions.” James Clear And while this article will cover what tops to wear with wide leg pants, the true question should be why can’t I wear any of my tops with these pants? You’re going to be reading and seeing a lot of “rules” regarding this new silhouette. The important th ..read more

I guess this was a week of dresses and skirts, so I tried to change things up towards the end of the week.

Did you know that in junior high school, one of the things I wanted to do when I grew up was to be an interior decorator? Obviously, my love of decorating whether it’s a house or a person runs deep. So I am excited to be able to share old and new photos from our ranch house remodel-interior and exterior shots. Quote of the day: “If there is one door in the castle you have been told not to go through, you must. Otherwise, you’ll just be rearranging furniture in rooms you’ve already been in.” Anne Lamott This house was built in 1978. I obtained photos from when it was sold in 2020 and then compa ..read more

This seems like the best time of year for the idea of how to style a white blazer. Yet in all reality, I like to think we can wear a white blazer any time of year. It’s all about what you style it with. Quote of the day: “You should always be rooting for the people you know. Not only because you may need their support tomorrow, but also because it feels good to celebrate something.” James Clear I thought it would be fun to show color options with us all styling a white/ivory blazer. Our outfits can give you a ton of ideas from color combinations, items to pair with the blazer as well as differ ..read more
