Southwest Inspired Ageless Style

It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge.  This month Leslie picked Southwest Inspired looks... and I was stumped.  I finally ended up doing a few Google searches for ideas of what I could use because I was determined to find something in my closet. 

Then I saw this sweater show up in one of my Google search results and I was so tempted... so I clicked on it, found it was on Amazon and ended up buying it.  Now the colors and style aren't exactly as pictured but I still thought it was the perfect sweater for fall and for this month's challenge! 


I paired the sweater with a plain blank tank, my jeans, and an old pair of riding boots. 



I can see myself wearing this sweater a lot this fall. I love the tassels and the stripes bring out all those fun fall colors.

    I love these style link-ups even though I do not join in (I wear jeans everyday!) because they help me to learn I can wear different things and look good. Now I just need to work on my own sense of comfort to step out of my "zone"!

      I wear a lot of jeans and leggings and have been trying to step out of my comfort zone more often.

    Funny how I did the same thing. I wanted to shop my closet exclusively but ended up buying a pair of colored wide leg denim! As long as you get lots of wear, it is a good buy!

    Perfect southwest fall outfit. That sweater is a great find. Love the peek-a-boo bit of shoulder showing and those earrings light up your face. These warm autumn colors really suit you, too. I imagine you are beginning to see the leaves changing, maybe some fog on the lake in the mornings?

      Thank you! We definitely are seeing both of those things-- our weather has gotten much cooler as well.

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 mainly through

Throwing a Fabulous 70th Birthday Party at the Last Minute

Image
 I threw a 70th birthday party for my mom at rather the last minute.  Mid- December or so my sister texted me that since it was my mom's 70th this year we should do something to celebrate.  My husband and I were leaving on our cruise the weekend of her actual birthday so I offered to host something New Year's Eve. That gave me about 2 or so weeks to prepare (thankfully I was all set for Christmas!).  I immediately hopped on Amazon and found some cute and pretty rose gold 70th birthday themed decorations and sent out some e-vites.  Between my sister, my step-father, and I we all agreed it was best to keep the guest list to just family.  So I settled to working on the menu.  We have lots of new food allergies in our family that I tried to work around while also keeping some of my mom's favorites in mind.  We settled on: smoked spiral ham and some plain smoked chicken (that my husband offered to cook on the smoker) a baked potato bar with bacon, cheese, chives, sour cream, and

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 boys were youn
