The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Rainy Days
Spring is starting to spring in the North Country but sadly we still have snow in the forecast this week. As much as I don’t like the rain that leaves us damp and muddy until May or June, I do welcome the warming temperatures that turn the snow into rain. So let’s have a look at what you all wear for those rainy days of spring. The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book is a monthly series hosted by Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style and myself. Every month, we invite you to share a photo or two of your Good (or Bad) Buy items that fit the stated theme. We ask that you also provide a short…

Third Take on Tieks: Double Dotting & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #751
I wanted to share this third styling of my new vegan Tieks last Friday but Mercury was in retrograde and had other plans for me. Mercury’s effects have seemed to calm down now that it has exited its retrograde period and computer things seem to be going much more smoothly as a result. I used to fight against the impacts of Mercury in retrograde but I have learned that fight is fruitless and it is better to just put the computer down and wait for things to right themselves. Although the retrograde period ended earlier this week, it did not do anything for our weather. Not that I expected it…

Songful Style Link Party #36: “Wish I Knew You” by The Revivalists
It was my turn to choose the song for March and I went with “Wish I Knew You” by The Revivalists. Although this song was released 9 years ago, I heard it for the first time about 4 or 5 years ago and fell in love with it immediately. And now 4 or 5 years later, I watched the official music video for the first time and I fell in love even more. The Lyrics You shine like a starYou know who you areYou're everything beautifulShe's hot, hot like the sunThe loneliest oneStill everything beautifulWell I'll be god damnedYou're standing at my doorWe stayed up in the cityUntil the stars lost the warSo…

Tieks Take 2: The “Daenelization” of My Vegan Polka Dot Shoes & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #749
Do you remember my dotty Tieks from last week? Well, they are back again with this Daenel-inspired outfit that is not at all warm enough for the current weather here. But I am trying my best to manifest spring temperatures to arrive soon. I do it every year but it never works. Unfortunately, we are not in a frost-clear zone until mid-May at the earliest. So my springy outfits are merely fantasy at this point. But a girl can dream. And another girl can give the most amazing gifts! Do you remember that big box of beautiful that Daenel of Living Outside the Stacks sent to me last spring? Although…
