Ageless Style: Booties

This month's theme "Booties" was chosen by Bo from Bo's Bodacious Blog.  I was thrilled because I fell in love with booties last fall and now own a god 4 or 5 pairs.  They have become one of my favorite fall staples that get added to my wardrobe quite early on in the season.


I asked my son to snap a few photos of me while we were out hiking again and I think he did a great job!

It really was not my best idea to wear these shoes hiking though as they made it difficult to hike properly.  But I just love the buckle detail and the little heel.  

I paired my booties with my favorite jeans, a turtleneck sweater, and some simple jewelry.










I hope you'll visit everyone else to see how they styled their booties too!

    These are cute boots even if they weren't practical for your hike, they look so nice with your outfit! I love ankle boots and jeans in cooler weather, such a staple! :)

    Hope that your week is going well :) It was another rainy spring day here!

      Yep, I often am as I tend to dress for the day and just swap out shoes when going hiking.

    Love the gray color of the booties! And you can never go wrong with a gray sweater. I have too many in gray sweaters but since I'm doing the minimalist closet (project 333) challenge I keep most packed away (can't bring myself to get rid of them!!)

    Grey is one of my favorite color and I have similar pair of booties. Looks like a cozy outfit and I love the addition of that necklace.

    You look great! I like the little chunky heel on those. Booties like these have become my favorite too. Comfy, easy to walk in, and stylish.

      I need a nice chunky heel; otherwise I just can't walk in them.

    Your son is so good at taking your pictures! My poor hubby is in charge of all my pictures. LOL. I love the long necklace with that turtleneck. You look so great in the neutral tones of gray!

      He did great; though he did tell me he feels like he's shaking the whole time. I don't think my husband has ever taken my photo... maybe once on our honeymoon? He's not really a picture guy.

    Those are such fabulous boots Joanne, and would go with everything. In fact, I have been keeping my eye out for a darker grey bootie like those.

    You look smashing. Love the gun metal gray of your booties. And that gray tunic sweater, it is such a flattering fit; I like the little bit of ruffle at the hem. It isn't an official ruffle but just hangs very femininely. Pretty necklace, too. Give the whole look a little dressy detail.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

10 Most Popular Posts of All Time

Image
Each year near the end of December/ beginning of January I share the top 10 posts of the year but this year, in particular, I have noticed some much older posts that are still bringing in lots of pageviews and thought it would be fun to look back and see a top 10 list of all time.  I started my blog in June of 2012 and while so many of my first posts were long blocky, chunky rambles without any real photos of us and our family I just can't bring myself to delete any of them as I really do enjoy looking back and seeing how my blog has change and grown over time. Not surprisingly all my top 10 posts are from more recent years.  I love to look at what is popular and try to figure out WHY each post is so popular. Most of the time I can't but I love to speculate anyway.  10. Our 2022 Disney/Universal Trip Day 1 & 2 has almost 2000 views. Who doesn't love Disney and the Magic Kingdom? 😊 9. My Would You rather; Fall Edition had well over 3,000 pageview. I do, however, thi...

2 College Visits in 2 Weekends!

Image
 Evan and I have visited 2 colleges these past 2 Fridays in a row. With Ian being so resistant to going to any college and Alec ONLY wanting to look at culinary colleges (the whole 2 we found) this is the first time we've really had to put a lot of effort into finding just the right fit for a college for one of our boys.  Since Evan hopes to study psychology his field of study does not narrow down our choices much. I did limit him to staying within New England/New York (basically within a day's drive) to make it a bit easier on all of us and since in his words he's "only ever had a classroom of 1-3 students, a small school would be best."  I am LOVING all the tours so much. Each school is brimming with their own possibilities. Friday August we checked out Bryant University and were surprised by how much we both liked it. It's nice and small and all the staff we met were so nice! They had tons of construction going on and seem to constantly update everything--...

100 Days of Science #68-- Index Card Tower

Image
My boys did such a wonderful job with their spaghetti bridges and popsicle stick bridges that I decided to look up some other fun STEM challenges.  I found a fun index card challenge that I thought they might like.  I handed each of them a package of index cards from the dollar store and asked them to build the tallest tower they could just using index cards.   Evan struggled quite a bit at first not thinking about folding the cards in any way but once we saw what his older brother's were doing he hatched a new plan.  Every now and then they'd stop to measure their towers.. being very careful not to knock them over. Ian build his tower on our coffee table making sure to use a nice wide base. Ian's tower was the tallest by just a few inches and Evan had the shortest. This challenge really got them thinking about structural integrity and they had to be real careful of how they moved about too. ...
