Fine … Whatever Link-Up Themes
1st monday of the month – Fresh focus
It’s the details that make an outfit to be unique among others. Some may be bold like a vibrant color and others could be more subtle. Looking through my own closet, I find that the ones I’m drawn at any particular time will change. Whether that change is due to the season or just at my whim. No matter the shape, size, or color palette, a motif can evoke expected and unexpected reactions. From scarfs to shoes and all in between, you can be subtle or bold depending on your mood.
What details are staples in your wardrobe? Do you go head-to-toe or select one item as an accent? Do you prefer abstract patterns or true-to-life ones? Big or small, bright or dull, a little or a lot? Every first Saturday of the month, I will feature what has caught my eye and I invite you to show what you’ve been fancying, as well.
2nd monday of the month – Would You, Could you?
Have you ever seen an outfit and asked yourself “would I ever wear that?” and then thought “how could I put that look together?” Fashion inspirations can come from expected sources like a magazine, a store display, or Instagram and they can be found in unexpected places like a sunset, or desert landscape, or a plate of food. I acknowledge that this is not a unique topic. It’s my plan to present it in a new way with the goal of showcasing how a ‘woman of a certain age’ embraces new fashion rules (or lack of them) in a way that is modern, flattering, and full of self-expression without breaking the bank?
In these posts, I will share an inspiration that had me asking myself “would you? could you?” and then show you the outcome. Got an outfit that resulted from an inspiration? Or one that pushes the envelope on convention? Every second Saturday of the month, I will feature a look full of unexpected details and I invite you to show us what you’ve put together as well.
3rd monday of the month – Reclaim, recycle, reuse
Waste not, want not, right? No better way to live “greener” and reduce one’s carbon footprint than by giving new life to clothing, accessories, or even furniture that’s past its prime. Whether a previous owner has done a closet purge or her tastes have changed, many items can be brought back to life with a little ingenuity, planning, and time. Or maybe it’s time to refresh a once love item from your own closet.
What’s your take on the hows and whys of making something old new again? Are you a seasoned thrifter or does the idea of wearing someone else’s old clothes give you the heebie-jeebies? Every third Saturday of the month, I will feature an item that I’ve reclaimed, recycled, and/or reused and given new life and I invite you to show us your best finds and creativity as well.
4th monday of the month – Potpourri
Much like the catchall category on Jeopardy, this theme is intended to cover a whole medley of topics that relate to style, home, food, or anything else that might come to mind.
5th monday of the month – A Woman I Know
Special feature when there is a fifth Saturday in the month where I turn the spotlight onto a fabulous woman I know who is not herself a blogger. Relatives, friends, and colleagues who have made an impact on my life.
