Hey y’all! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas season and Happy New Year! One of the things I dived into in 2017 was reupholstering Goodwill chairs. I thought I’d share one of those projects with you this week! I bought this red recliner at Goodwill for $14 last summer. It was comfy and sturdy,…
Hey y’all! I hope you’re having a wonderful week! I woke up this morning with places to go and people to see, more laundry dirty than clean, and exactly 3.2 pounds heavier than I was yesterday. One of my biggest struggles lately has been how to dress with the weight fluctuations that healing from Lyme brings. The…
Hey y’all! Dressing well has many components such as complimenting colors, situational appropriateness, and – the one I want to help us accomplish today- tailored clothing. One of my staples for fall is skinny jeans with a tunic top, but the look can be hard to accomplish if you’re at all curvy and/or short and jeans…
Hey, y’all! Wow, loooong time no post! Our one year anniversary was this past weekend and it’s hard to believe how much has happened in that time. The biggest change (besides getting used to being married) has probably been moving to our very own townhome! I’m going to try to ease back into blogging now…
Hey y’all! The Fresh Apparel Denim Company adventure continues! Due to a slight stretch in fabric and some other factors, I ended up with twice as many “extra” Errand #17 skirts than I was intending from my Kickstarter campaign. I had them stored in a closet last year while I was busy falling in love…
Hey y’all! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s day! We go to my in-laws most Sundays after church and I can never remember my camera in the before-church flurry to get out the door, but this week I did! Skirt: CAbi brand via ThredUP Shirt: Pact Clothing $11.20 Jacket: handmade via Darby’s Dresses $8…
Hey y’all! Life goes so fast, doesn’t it?? It’s been forever since I’ve shared even a simple outfit. My wardrobe choices lately have been based on comfort and ease. I’ve been doing tax paperwork for weeks now (Business advice: keep extremely detailed records, don’t have large amounts of inventory sitting in a closet, and hire…
Hey! Couple of housekeeping items to share today! First, I listed a bunch of Fresh Apparel skirts for sale on the shop page! There are several pre-hemmed skirts available at a discounted price, unhemmed skirts in size 35″, and custom hemmed ones as well! I’m still in the process of moving my remaining stock from…
Hey y’all! One of the best ways to get your makeup to last longer and go on smoother is by beginning with primer and finishing with setting spray. Here’s my favorite recipe for a two-in-one bottle of spray that’s all natural and made with ingredients you probably already have (or if you don’t, you should…
Hey y’all! I think it’s time to give our fingernails a little TLC, don’t you? When my health was poor, my nails really showed it! White dots, ridges, cracking, breaking, general brittleness- I could just tell my body was not happy. I’m doing a lot better now and I’m super excited my nails are reflecting…
Happy Thanksgiving, y’all! One of the biggest hindrances to dressing ethically/organically is cost. Even though the more expensive items tend to be better in the long run, it can be challenging to afford them now. Thankfully for us, one weekend a year even organic clothing websites slash their prices, making it plenty affordable to dress…
