My Fashion Haus: My OLIVE Pants Fit!

Sweet fashionistas, Step into my fashion haus.   But this time you won’t have to watch out for the cobwebs and dust bunnies.  I may not have been in here since March for a fashion haus post.  (That was when I shared my extremely early or somewhat belated Valentine’s Day outfit.  Remember this cute little tulle […]

My Fashion Haus: Back to School

My Fashion Haus: Back to School, 8.2017

Fashionistas, hello! I am back to school!  And that means getting dressed up everyday.  Well, not necessarily dressed UP but dressed for sure! As you may remember, last week I was called to work as a substitute librarian in an elementary school not far from home.  I was so happy to get that call.  But […]

My Fashion Haus: Intentionally Seeing Red

Fashionistas, so glad you are here! Today I am seeing red.  And if you scroll down just a bit, you will be, too.  I have very intentionally begun adding more red to my ‘wardrobe’.  I use that term loosely for the clothes in my closet.  A wardrobe sounds intentional.  My clothing is not terribly so. […]

My Fashion House: Library Convention Fashion Find #2

My Fashion Haus: Library Convention Fashion Find, #2

Fashionista and fashionable librarians, welcome! Last week I shared my first library convention fashion find, a paisley tunic in beachy coral and blues.  If you missed that post, please hop over here for a quick look. I found this intricately embroidered top at that same little clothing kiosk as my paisley tunic.  Where? In April, […]

My Fashion Haus: Library Convention Fashion Find & Spring Fever Fashion Link-Up

Fashionistas and fellow librarians, Thank you for stopping by to check out my library convention fashion find.  That could almost be an oxymoron because historically, librarians haven’t been necessarily recognized for their great fashion sense.  However, since I have begun blogging, I’ve come across some very stylish library ladies.  There’s Katie at Mishaps and Mayhem […]

Hello

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.
