Hi all!Yep, this post is all about the boots… Well, not really. I’m finding myself wanting to tell everyone what is happening in my life right now, but it is a personal journey not yet ready to be revealed. I can say, that I have lost over 10 lbs, which I am happy about. I spent the greater part of last year trying to find plus sized clothing that either didn’t look like a giant tent or cost a gazillion bucks for a single tee. Pouting though thrift shops while loading up on scarves. Meanwhile, my boobs grew into giant…

Hi all!Here is my version of the Over 40 Boyfriend Jean. Just as baggy, just as ragged – but with a proper blazer, lots of rhinestones and prom pumps for that “what the?” stare that reigns over the western side of Cincy. In the world of blogging, this look is old hat. An almost non-post worthy look. In the midwestern burbs, however, I am right on point… I thrifted this jacket last year, but never wore it.

You can use more for a fuller ‘poof’,just make sure…

Hi everyone!I am writing this with a very sleepy head right now. I spent a lot of time today enjoying the sweet lower temps that showed up here in Cincy. I snagged this vintage cropped jacket a few months ago with definite plans on how to wear it. It must have a flowy top underneath. I was patient and did wait, until I remembered this top I’d purchased from Dot’s last fall! It was buried, of course… Which reminds me, I have some cool summer floral pants that I am gonna sell very soon. Stay tuned – they will be…
