Wearing Pinks and Reds with Ageless Style

It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge. This month Jennifer picked  Pink and/ or Red for our ageless style group. 


I have had this red sweater dress in my closet for a few years but I rarely wear it. I thought this challenge would be a perfect time to try styling it. I paired it with some black leggings for warmth and my knee high boots.

    Your sweater dress is really pretty! The color is nice as is the style. I have a sweater dress in my closet (gray, naturally!) that I've had for years (though I don't wear mine often either). I always get compliments, though, when I do.

      Thank you! I do love a good sweater dress but rarely wear mine either.

    Sweater dresses are so cozy and that is how I wear mine most of the time. My favorite way has been adding a long cardigan over mine. I need to wear it one more time before it is too warm.

      I only have a handful of long cardigans and none of them go well with red; I really need to get some more neutral tones!

      Actually it's oddly thin and cool which is one of the reasons I never really wear it! It did help having the leggings underneath though.

    You look so pretty in red! I adore the ruffle hem at the bottom.

    I don't wear red anymore...living in a college town where the all the rival schools are red makes you kind of dislike that color. At times, I do miss wearing all the cute red outfits though. Love this dress on you.

      Oh yes, that would make it a bit odd to be thought of as supporting the opposing teams!

    Joanne,
    You look great in red...I was once told by a style colorist that black and red together are the best colors for me to wear...Thanks so much for stopping by!! Yeah, I really need to get my tax papers together as this is the first time I am doing it as Joe always did it....Thanks so much for all your visits! Hope you are staying warm...It is 18 degrees here this morning!!!

    Oh, Joanne. That dress needs to become part of your monthly rotation in the winter. Just think of how you could easily layer a sweater over the top when it's really cold, or a vest over it to add in a different color. So many possiblities and it looks so beautiful with your hair.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Valentine's Day Care Package

Image
 I shipped another package off to Alec. This time I added some homemade cookies! I found this cute tin at Target and knew it would be perfect for mailing some cookies. I cooked up 2 recipes and filled the tin up.  I gathered all the materials I bought to send with it: his favorite Pepperidge Farm cookies, some almonds, some lotion, some cute Valentine window clings, a coloring book and a Van Gogh themed bookmark.  I stamped up some fun Valentine hearts on the tissue paper and enclosed a card too.  Linking up with: Spread the Kindness,

Winter Collection with The Cookbook Club

Image
 Joanne Tracey over at Brookford Kitchen Diaries has started up a monthly cookbook club and the rules such as they are are loose enough that it's easy to follow along and participate.  This month we were asked to look at either Delia Smith's Winter Collection or Summer Collection and since it is firmly winter here I picked her winter collection.  It was a pretty cookbook but I do wish there had been more photos of the recipes included.  We settled on trying the authentic Ragu Bolognese. We did have to make a couple of modification based on what I could find in the store (plus our own personal taste made chicken livers a no go).  First off we halved the recipe; not knowing if we'd like it or not I didn't want to make so much. The recipe says it makes 16 servings and I figured 8 servings would be perfect with a full box of pasta (that also happens to feed 8!).  I needn't have worried as we all really liked this (even me and I do not normally like ground beef...
