Happy October everyone! You may remember my "No Shop July" challenge over the summer. I decided to team up with my friends Caitlin & Cierra to do another month of no-shopping. We thought October would be the perfect time before the madness of the holiday season sets in and hopefully will encourage us all to be … Continue reading No Shop October
First, how is it already July?! This year is half way over and I feel like it JUST started. Which makes me look back on my goals at the beginning of the year... maybe you remember my post about cutting back and taking a shopping detox?

If you know me or regularly read the blog you know that jackets are my weakness. I know that I have far too many but I can't help it. In Nebraska I wear a jacket about 9 months out of the year so I feel like the jacket is often the only part of my … Continue reading Lightweight Jackets for Spring
Last year I finally ordered a true winter coat. For several winters I had gone without a warm winter coat, only ever wearing my dressier coats. I know that isn't the end of the world, clearly I survived just fine. But now that have a true winter coat, Nebraska's harsh winters are much more bearable.

The older I … Continue reading Choosing Comfort
Given the choice I think I would probably wear a dress most days, especially during the week. They are just so much easier to throw on and usually more comfortable. It would definitely make getting ready for work a lot easier. So why don't I wear a dress every day? It is hard to find … Continue reading Dresses for Everyday
