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.

    I love your outfits, especially the skirts. I always wear skirts and dresses myself. I find trousers confining. I like ditsy skirts with little flowers on them.

      Funny because I so rarely wear skirts or dresses and much prefer pants or shorts.

    I do love a good tropical print! You have so many options! I love that first top with the white skirt so much! I just bought a white skirt similar to that one and I can't wait to wear it!

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 ...

Talking About it Tuesdays #75

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...

How I Did With My Spring Bucket List

Image
Since Friday is the first official day of summer I figured it was time to see how I did with my spring bucket list before I share my summer list next Monday. 1. Enjoy a weekend with the girls in Louisville, KY (and check another state off my list!) -- check! It was such a fun trip.   2. Celebrate Ian's 21st birthday! --Check! We took him to dinner before I left for Kentucky and had a birthday party with the grandparents the weekend after I got back.  3. Take a couple field trips with Evan -- Nope! We finished up school at the end of April and there just wasn't enough time to fit any field trips in. 4. Enjoy a week in Acadia with Alec and my husband -- Check!   5. Go to the farmer's market -- Nope... BUT they JUST opened last weekend. I always forget how late in spring harvest starts around here so I'll move this to my summer list. 6. Go hiking -- Check! We went on tons of hikes!    purgatory chasm 7. Try some new salad recipes-- Check!   8. Start eati...
