A style blog based on a fifty-something Baby Boomer doing her best to age gracefully.
Here are all of my lifestyle posts featuring my family, travel, home decor, and inspirations.
As you may recall, I pledged to shop my closet more, buy better, and buy less. Here’s the March episode of reducing my carbon footprint in keeping with that commitment. As someone who studies textiles and has a passion for fashion, I don’t always follow the latest trends. My style is classic and traditional, with […]
The Philly Flower Show Returns to FDR Park in Philly on Saturday, June 11-19. It’s the second year as an outdoor venue. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society hosts the event. No more teasing of warmer temperatures and additional sunlight; spring is here. On March 20, 2022, the vernal equinox arrived at 11:33 a.m. I’m ready to […]
Today, March 8, is IWD, but Uncommon Threads Boutique champions women every day. What is IWD? International Women’s Day, the global time devoted annually on March 8 to commemorate women’s cultural, political, and socio-economic achievements.
