Do you feel needed?

March 13, 2017 By Shelly

That feeling of being needed or wanted or even liked – is awesome. For example, take these new knit slouchy hats pictured above, they are all unique and special in their own way and so pretty in their existence in a photo together, much like a community of special-ness. Okay, so I’m a little drama-llama with my handmade hats. Truth be told, handmade hats are not the only thing I am attached to….

Outfit #5: Who’s Your Bestie?

March 10, 2017 By Shelly

Seriously, the wind earlier this week had me at…shutter-buster-window-whistlin’-hold-on-to-your-hats! I was actually worried about not getting to my meeting out of town because of the wind. Call me a pansy or an introvert, either way, I voted to get there or be square. Here’s how I layered up after my brain refused to wear a coat.

Outfit #4: Keep on Truckin’

February 22, 2017 By Shelly

I have soft spot for this hat. Glad you asked….

Feelin’ Tough
The Trucker Hat is an “I’m tough” sorta hat-feelin’ when I throw it on.  When I wear this handmade hat, most of the time my hair is fancy free and not constrained by bands or clips. My mood changes a bit to rebeliscious (of course it’s a real word). The Trucker Hat makes me want to kick up some dust on country roads in 4-wheel drive, heck – make that a stick shift and might as well throttle some donut holes in the middle of the road and call it, well…. feelin’ tough.

BUT today, my friends – it’s the perfect opportunity to show you how a handmade hat can look great on a no makeup-bread-baking-go-for-a-walk-in-my-blacktop-neighborhood weekday! Who’s with me? YES!!!!

Outfit #3: Color Complimenting is Key

February 12, 2017 By Shelly

A quick little OOTD (outfit of the day).  I wore a fun outfit a couple of weeks ago when taking some kiddos to the ortho (see photo below). I wanted to have some “express yourself fun” as I had been a nurse-mom to a daughter who had a tonsillectomy (two weeks home in bed, ugh!). As my daughter was just waking up, her eyes just about popped outta her head when she saw I was actually wearing “the tights”. She was probably thankful to be staying on the couch and not venturing out with said tights and her mom at the same time. I love the mom-perks – “shock and awe”.

Outfit #2: Yes, white in winter

January 31, 2017 By Shelly

Who says you can’t wear white in winter?  I dress as my mood strikes me and this day I was feeling a bright white.  The sun was out and my mood was just as sunny – I was taking my daughters into town for afternoon window shopping. Find out how fashion and function unite!

Patient Blooms

January 24, 2017 By Shelly

Let’s get our hands dirty in the white Minnesota snow with natural winter beauty and blooming bulbs (and I’m not talking about the burned out bathroom bulbs). As winter interest has a place in my home so in my home has it been an interesting winter. Read on to see just a slice of my recent life through the eyes of an apple seed (or two) – it may just be what the doctor ordered.

Outfit#1: Wool Worth It

January 16, 2017 By Shelly

img_2786

 

When it comes to outdoors, I’m a stickler at making the most of every season right down to accessorizing and bringing the outdoors in (…more on those winter-interest cuttings later). As my family knows, I have plenty of coats, scarves, mittens and of course, hats. So how do I no-brainer accessorize when heading out the door in a Minnesota winter with negative wind chills? Glad you asked! Here’s a quick peek from last week out in the yard, of course with our dog, Maple.
