As you may remember from my intro post, this was basically a travel wardrobe of tried-and-true favorites masquerading as a 10×10 challenge, which means my goal for it wasn’t necessarily to discover anything new about the items therein. But I made room […]
Hello Thrifters! Caroline of Un-Fancy and Lee of StyleBee start their 10×10 summer wardrobe remix today, and although I didn’t have time to write up my remix selections beforehand, since I’m already living out of a totebag with 10 items (hello back-to-back family reunions!) I figured I might as well play along. (Click here to see […]
My spring thrifting was curtailed a bit by my Lenten thrifting fast, but leaving the Goodwill alone for awhile also brought me a lot of clarity on where I have enough and where I have wardrobe holes. Thus, my thrift list is on the trimmer side this go-around. Hurrah! I do have a few other items […]
So I learned some things after wearing the same 10 pieces of clothes for 10 days. -I really liked concentrating on just a few itens. Paying each piece some one-on-one attention, as it were, gave me a chance to figure out how I really feel about them. I slowed down and considered, instead of just wearing, tossing aside, […]
I think I’ve mentioned the 10×10 Wardrobe Challenge before; it’s the brainchild of Lee from Style Bee but I found out about it through Caroline at Un-Fancy. Starting on Monday they’ll be teaming up for a spring 10×10 wardrobe remix and I’m playing along. You can, too! What’s a 10×10? Both of the links above explain in more […]
Long time no see, Thrifters! You know it’s been awhile when my last post was also thrift finds… from a month ago. I’ve been happily busy with work (Lent, Holy Week) and thus away from the blog. To jump back in, I thought about doing the Spring 10×10 (click here to read about what a 10×10 is) but it […]
A few weeks ago – I think it was while I was starting to put away some of the really heavy winter clothing (the lighter stuff is still around…sigh) – I realized that I had worn just a few dresses over the winter, some just once. And although I cycled through a few different clutches […]
Judging by the comments, you all are up for more posts as I transition into a Light Summer season. (That’s SciArt/12 Blueprints parlance – if none of that makes sense, start here. Read more about SciArt here). I had my Personal Color Analysis (PCA) appointment one month ago (details in that first linked post above). Since then I’ve […]
First up, I want to share with you all Nadia at Happy Malista’s recap from her 10×10 challenge; she shared her outfits as well as outfits from a few other bloggers whose challenges she enjoyed, including yours truly! It’s sometimes hard finding a style blogger whose style is close enough to your own to resonate […]
This month’s thrifting window was half as long as normal due to my thrifting fast, but I still found some good pieces. That fast focused my thrifting and I ended up sticking mostly to what was on my (trimmed down) thrift list. (FYI I wrote that list mid-April but didn’t publish it until after the 10×10 was […]
