Fashion Feature

A little surprise today as I take a day off from showing off an outfit and send you to meet someone new, Cathy, at My Side of 50!  Cathy featured several 40+ bloggers showing off a few tips on how to rock a summer look.  As a bonus her talented daughter created this adorable sketch of our outfits! Can you guess which one is styled after me?  You will have to read Fashion Bloggers Rock a Summer Look to find out.  
Earlier this year Cathy also shared Lessons Learned from my Favorite Fashion Bloggers and I was so tickled she included me!
Cathy blogs about so many great topics for those of us facing this time in life including aging parents but also reviews some great travel experiences.  She’s an all around great follow and a Texas girl!

Thank you Cathy for always being such a great supporter of other bloggers!

I shared my tips on styling a blue jean jacket!  
A great blue jean jacket is definitely a necessity.   While we often think of denim as something casual in our closet it can also stand to elevate an ordinary outfit.  This particular look allows this sleeveless swing dress to become office appropriate and with a few accessories like a fun necklace, seasonal purse and stylish shoes it looks completely pulled together.  
On the flip side, how many times have you purchased a dress a little more on the fancy side for a cocktail party or a wedding and didn’t find a way to wear it often enough to justify the cost.  In this case I used a denim jacket to bring this fun little dress down to a level I could wear to the office without feeling over the top!  

Wishing you all the best Wednesday!

  1. If I'm wearing a dress, you can bet I have my denim jacket with me! It's perfect when you're wearing a summery dress because it's 100 degrees outside, but then you have to go inside somewhere freezing! I love your idea of dressing down a fancier dress with a denim jacket! Cute idea!

  2. Ahhh there is that sexy, favorite dress of mine!! Man, you are one hot tamale!! Jean jackets are where it's at!!

  3. Cathy is my gal! My DWTS partner and I'll be featuring her as my Connect With post coming out Sunday. I do believe I know which drawing is YOU!

  4. Thanks so much for being a part of this post and offering your tips, Shelly! Always enjoy working with you!
