Styling Tropical Prints with Ageless Style

It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge. This month Mireille picked tropical prints for our challenge. I am drawn to bright summer patterns and have so many in my closet. That said we've had a very cool spring and since all my tropical print things are sleeveless and better suited to warm weather I put together a compilation of old photos instead.

 I often pair a brighter printed top with plain skirts and pants. 

Or a brightly printed skirt or shorts with a plain top.




Though I do have some full length skirts and jumpsuits that have all over patterns I enjoy too.

    I really like your first outfit! I like pairing a printed top with a solid white bottom.

    You do have a lot of tropical prints. My weather was too cold to wear my outfit for this month's challenge too. I never wore the outfit in my photos anywhere. I just put them on for a photo shoot. ha ha. Usually I post what I actually wear.

      I've done that a time or two as well for our monthly challenges; and I probably would have if I hadn't been gone the whole first week of June.

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 ...

Acadia 2025 Trip Days 4 & 5: Giant Cranberry Island and Heading Back Home

Image
 Our last full day in Acadia and Alec was looking for something different to do that didn't include biking or hiking. We decided to ferry over to Giant Cranberry Island. But first we had breakfast. Daniel prepared a port wine poached pear and shakshuka with a chocolate croissant for our main dish. It was all quite delicious!  Before we went to pick up the ferry, Alec wanted to walk down to check out a local cafe Dora had told us about. He ordered a pastry and an iced matcha latte. He said they were very good but I just loved the decor inside the cafe. They had adorable fake plants and little lights everywhere.  We walked to the ferry dock and found we only had about 20 minutes to wait. I purchased our tickets online and we all boarded the ferry. It's the "off"/shoulder season in Acadia so the ferry only runs every 3 which means we had 3 hours on Giant Cranberry Island.... well 3 hours is about an hour and a half too long. While Giant Cranberry Island is very quaint an...

Talking About it Tuesdays #75

Image
We had some really beautiful weather last week (and some rain too) but it was finally hot and sunny and felt like summer was well on its way. We went strawberry picking and made some homemade jam. We had a quiet weekend with the older two boys working both days. My husband's only real request for father's day was some delicious homemade strawberry shortcake with our freshly picked strawberries and I was happy to comply! How was your week/weekend?  It's time for another link party and boy did we have some really fabulous posts linked up with us last week. I love that I can always find a little bit of everything at this party and can't wait to see what you share this week.    The link with the most views from last week's party:   Tuesday Talk by My Joyful Life      A few that caught my eye: Red, White, and Blue Blondies Recipe by Crystal & Co.   Book Review: The Kite Runner by Sun-Sea-Soil-Sky      Amsterdam-Part 2, Zandvoort by...
