It’s true! I love HK!! When Jennie called statement tees for this month’s blogger collaboration, I was like “PHEW!” That’s basically all I wear–every day, with a pair of sneakers. Even last month when I struggled, I reverted back to a statement tee and sneaks! Of course, because I’m a silly overthinker, I thought toContinue reading Statement Tees: I love HK–A Fab 40s Post
Style Stories No. 17: 2 Slogans I Can’t Refuse
There are definitely two slogans I can never say no to: anything book related, I always snatch up. I have more than one tee that says “The Book Was Better!” Today, being at the end of Teen Read Week, I’m wearing a shirt that says, “I’d rather be reading.” On Monday for our professional developmentContinue reading Style Stories No. 17: 2 Slogans I Can’t Refuse
The Fab 40s are Villains
Oh my! Who even like the villains? When Veronica called this theme for The Fab 40s this month I really wondered how I would style my outfit for this blogger collaboration. Then, I thought of one of my favorite movies: Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Both characters are actually the villains in a way. Plus they’reContinue reading The Fab 40s are Villains
The Fab 40s are Fairytale Princesses
For some reason, after flaunting all around India pretending to be a princess (a search of “MaharAnnie in my blog’s search box will prove this), I found this month’s Fab 40s theme to be difficult: we were to style ourselves as fairytale princesses. Sheela is our romantic, and I do love her so. I’ve beenContinue reading The Fab 40s are Fairytale Princesses
The Fab 40s in All White
Wearing all white on a boat out pulling the kids behind is an outfit I could be found in any day of the summer out at Spirit Lake. Here I’m out on the boat with the entire fam pulling them for a ski. Our mornings out here are usually spent in this manner. (In fact,Continue reading The Fab 40s in All White
The Fab 40s in Formal During the Day
You’re going to see a lot of sequins during this round of The Fab 40s. We are all wearing formal during the day. This is something I’m quite used to. Since I’m on a total sneaker/casual shoe kick, I try to figure out ways to dress up this look. In fact you can see meContinue reading The Fab 40s in Formal During the Day
The Fab 40s in Boho
Jennie from A Pocket Full of Polka Dots called boho for this month’s Fab 40s’ theme. Of course I was super excited to hear this theme because let’s face it: I’m definitely a bit bohemian in my style. I am a sucker for anything with a cultural aesthetic especially when it comes to colorful tassels,Continue reading The Fab 40s in Boho
The Fab 40s in Pleats
The moment Diane from Fashion on the 4th Floor declared this month’s styling theme every one of The Fab 40s got a little nervous–including me. Pleats, that’s what we were to style. The moment I saw pleats I thought to myself: Oh! Pleats look awful on me–they just enhance my ponchy ponch. I instantly startedContinue reading The Fab 40s in Pleats
Ping Pong Post with Anna and Samantha
Back in December, I started to get to know Anna from Anna Island Style. There was this blog post wear she was featuring the cutest plaid coat–the one you see me wearing–and an idea sprung to life from both my and Samantha’s comments. Anna encouraged something called a Ping Pong Post with the idea thatContinue reading Ping Pong Post with Anna and Samantha
The Fab 40s in Red & Pink
Wow! The Fab 40s have now completed a year of posts–this is twelfth collaboration. In March of 2015 we started with six of us styling up the Pantone color of that year: Marsala. We started with six–unfortunately Kirsten from The LIFB (she was featured as a Style Story fave just yesterday!) wasn’t able to continueContinue reading The Fab 40s in Red & Pink
The Fab 40s in Faux Fur
This month The Fab 40s are wearing faux fur. It’s already a known fact that I have a serious thing for faux fur. When Jane from My Midlife Fashion called this month’s theme, I got pretty excited. I love wearing faux fur, and this material is seriously having a moment. Believe it or not, thisContinue reading The Fab 40s in Faux Fur
The Fab 40s in Goth
I might have taken the theme to far this time! Dawn Lucy chose goth for The Fab 40s theme, and I think I maybe took it to literally. I mean I even pierced my septum for this one! Just kidding. I did not, but it was fun finding a fake one to wear. Shopping forContinue reading The Fab 40s in Goth
