VARSITY REDS & AGELESS STYLE LINK UP

I was overjoyed when my precious friend Lisa asked me to join the Ageless Style crew for this month’s link up. Many of them are my pals who I’ll be meeting in a few weeks. These ladies are all proof that style and fun have no age limits. I admire each of these ladies so much not just for their fashion tastes but for their warm hearts, joyous spirits, sweet love of life and gorgeous smiles! I miss The My Refined Style monthly Linky I used to co-host so this was loads of fun! 

The theme this month is easy peasy CARDIGANS. And boy do I love my Fall Cardis! 

No Varsity Blues here, it’s all red baby! These happen to be baby boy’s school colors as well as our beloved IU, where our oldest goes, so you can bet I’ll be getting tons of good outta this cute sweater. The fit and feel is so sweet. 

Now, while I probably won’t be wearing these delightful red sock boots to football games, lol, you can bet I’ll find somewhere to wear them for numerous reasons. Number one. They are super comfy and now I want them in black too. Number two, I’ve been seeing that red booties are a huge trend for Fall and Number 3, I love how they look with the cuffed jeans.

An InLinkz Link-up

NOTHING BUT GREEN! AND ROYALTY!

Hi all. I’ll be honest, I had nothing for today. I’m still in a glorious royal wedding fog. I was going to write about that but my words wouldn’t do it justice. I was going to do a “Things on my Mind” Post but the positivity in me keeps me from ranting. Lol. I was going to do a weekend recap but to be honest it was very quiet at "Chateau Nine" as my friend Mary calls it. Don’t know how excited you’d be to hear about falling asleep while watching the Black Panther, cozy on the couch watching royalty, making Mississippi Mud roast, Blueberry Streusel Muffins, had a photo shoot in our mosquito laden woods after a rain for a Fairytale theme FAB 40’s post next Monday (you don’t want to Miss that) and a date trip to Lowe’s for stepping pavers and dinner at Taco Bell? So, what’s a Lifestyle/Food/Fashion blogger to do? Pull out a cute outfit. 

 Here’s the story! This Wednesday theme for TBB’s Link-Up post is Spring Sweaters. I got 2 of these 1901 brand beauties as I couldn’t decide which color combo to keep so after you see Wednesday’s, I let you be the judge which one you like best. I was going to save the green one for Friday but it was soooo good, I pulled it out for today.



First up is this bright green gem. I knew white jeans would be the ticket to go with this and can you believe my Old Navy lace up sandals matched perfectly? And greens are tough to match. I thought it looked so cute with my favorite colorful pom straw clutch. 

Last year I showcased this darling green and white striped shirt in my post Sleeves and Stripes! I think the key with stripes is to either keep it super simple to add in a fun element like bell sleeves or these darling ruffles.

These sweaters are soft and smooth as butta!!! And ruffle details seal the deal! I’m excited for you to see Wednesday’s color combo. Right now I’m at 50/50 on the two. Cant wait to see what you guys think?

Well sweet pals, I guess my nothing turned into something, lol. And as I continue to have my heart quite warm from the royal nuptials, I am going to share my “9 Favorite Royal Wedding Moments!” I hope you too loved seizing this lovely event. I didn’t have any crumpets or scones but I did have tea and Biscoff biscuit cookies, lol. 

1. Meghan and her mom’s exciting ride to the church and the couple’s carriage ride after.  

2. Harry and William walking in their military uniforms to Windsor. 

3. Meghan’s DRESS and that train! 

4. All the children holding hands behind her. 

5. The open seat in memory of Princess Diana. (rumored to not be true but I am going to pretend it was for her!)

6. The beautiful rendition of Stand By Me. 

7. Her bouquet with flowers Harry picked from their garden including Diana’s Favorite: Forget Me Nots. 

8. Her stunning white halter dress for the evening festivities.   

And my FAVORITE moment of all:

9. Harry wiping away genuine tears during the ceremony!! 

They were beyond precious and they lived out the 

Fairytale for us all! 

May the love in Harry and Meghan’s eyes shine on us all this week and just remember: when you think you’ve got “nothing,” you’ll always find something in your heart or your closet, lol.
