10 Fashion Trends This Grandma is Embracing

Fashionistas, welcome to my fashion haus. Thought I would share 10 fashion trends this grandma is embracing in my OOTD (outfits of the day).

Comparing Style Services: Fashom, Stitch Fix & GYPO

Fashionistas, welcome! Doing a little comparison shopping from my fashion haus today. A sweet friend and reader, Juhli at A Boomer Girl’s Guide, asked if I could do a post comparing Fashom to Stitch Fix. Great idea, huh?

10 Fall Staples: 10 on the 10th

Sweet potatoes, Not feeling good this week, girls. Probably TMI but I am suffering with hemorrhoids. They are a real pain in the butt.

Hello

OOTDs and SIAs: My Fashion Haus 07.2020
In what felt like the blink of an eye, I have gone from full-time wife to my sweet husband, hands-on mom to my two beautiful daughters and elementary school librarian to a retired, empty nester with lots of time on my hands. Join me on my journey to rediscover who I am. Glad you are here...
