I decided to take a renewed interest in my ‘Retirement Style’ beginning late summer of 2023. This winter I started intentionally purchasing clothes that were out of my usual comfort zone, and experimenting with piecing together new looks. And not every new look is going to look good! I’m writing this blog post to encourage you to try some new…
One of the reasons I like shopping thrift stores is the affordable opportunity to alter clothes, and sometimes home goods, to fit my style. If it’s not too expensive an item, I don’t have to feel badly if the hack goes sour and I ruin it. I have been known to try too big an alteration and end up with…
Before you start shopping for fall weather clothes, switch out your closet first! We can’t believe (or remember) all the clothes packed away at the start of spring. Do you unpack the drawers or extra closet and think “I forgot I had this!” or “I’m glad I didn’t go buy an [insert what you wanted], because look! I have one…
With Fall’s arrival and the temperatures dropping, it’s time to pull out the jeans. We have our favorite brands, but there is always the elusive perfect fit and color that keeps us checking out the racks at our favorite thrift stores. Winter Bee I am happy with dark wash jeans, but every so often I like to brighten things up…
It was another impulse trip to Goodwill. Every time we meet up for breakfast there’s time to kill before Rachel’s nail appointment so guess where we go! WinterBee I found a couple of shirts I liked. It’s challenging finding tunic shirts now they’ve gone ‘out of style’. I love that look and I feel great wearing tunics or dresses with…
We hooked up with our friend Liz and made a trip to to the secondhand store Savers in Warwick RI. We had a great time! As it turned out, the dressing rooms were closed so we couldn’t try on any clothes. We thought they would accept returns, but when we checked out the cashier told us returns had to be…
Rachel texting Pam: Hey I’m parked right behind you at the Mall! Pam: Yay! I’m at Old Navy. Rachel: I’m working my way from the other end, see you soon. Are we the only ones or do you just *happen* to find something good for yourself while holiday shopping? Here’s where we went and what we scored! Winter Bee: I’m…
We took a spur of the moment Goodwill trip to a store about hour away from where we live. Unlike a retail store where the merchandise is always the same no matter what store you’re in, shopping at different thrift stores means you never find the same thing twice! It’s the time to change the summer to fall closet and…
I stopped in at Walmart to pick up a few things and wandered through the clothing section. Hopefully I’m not the only one who goes in for 3 things and comes with 87! There were a few things in my color palette- hard to find in fall when everything is mustardy, dark greens, and dark teals. I picked up a…
At first we thought this would be a quick post- of course we have more than enough shoes to share about- but once we stopped talking about which shoes go with what outfit or occasion, and started looking at why we buy the shoes we do…now that’s another post in itself! We found out there’s some definite age-related differences in…
