Co-Hosting The Fabulous Friday Link Up with Jennie!

I'm so excited to be co-hosting the Fabulous Friday Link-Up with Jennie.  She is one of my favorite style bloggers.  Jennie not only has an amazing sense of style, but I love her because she is so supportive of others in the blogging community as well.  

I really wanted to have a nicer outfit to show for my co-hosting debut with Jennie, but I had one heck of a week!  It was a challenge just to get dressed up and have these photographs taken.  My husband and I started renovating our master bedroom and we have just been so busy.  We hope to have the flooring installed and the new bed put together this weekend.  The rest of the renovation should be a piece of cake after we had to do so far!

So this simple outfit is all I have to show you.  This is what I wore to church on Sunday, out-to-lunch, and then off to Ashley Furniture to pick up our new bed!  When we got home, we scrambled outside quickly to take pictures before the sun went down!


 It's a simple outfit of straight leg jeans with a black tee shirt, a eggplant ruffle cardigan, black over-the-knee boots and a black hat and bag.


 I did try to jazz it up a bit with a clingy necklace and bracelet and a felt hat.



Everything I have on is from last season or beyond besides the over-the-knee boots.  They are by Madden Girl and I purchased them from Famous Footwear.


My black tote is a mix of a snakeskin print and a solid black.


My necklace is a mix of clear, white, and charcoal grey stones with a hint of crystals.


I had to stand in the shade because the sun and snow were too intense.  But then my flash didn't work for some of the pictures, that's why some pictures look much brighter and more focused than others.  Like I said, we had a very busy week.  I think we took these pictures in less than five minutes.  Plus it was freezing outside and we did not want to be outside any longer than necessary.  I know, bad blogger.



And now enough about me, and onto the the Fabulous Friday Link Up!

Meet your host for Fabulous Friday, Jennie of A Pocketful of Polka Dots. ∼ Hey y'all, I'm Jennie and I am a 47 year old frugal fashionista! I am mom to two wonderful (and handsome!) sons and one very spoiled Pomeranian. After spending most of my life in black and boring clothes, I now enjoy trying new trends, am a confessed shoeaholic, believe life is too short for boring hair, and never met a polka dot I didn't like. I am also an avid photographer, reader of Jane Austen, Paleo/Primal enthusiast, and lover of DIY. You can follow me here ∼

Jennie and I each picked our favorites from last week's link up.  My pick is Rachel from Threads of Thomas.  I absolutely loved her fun faux fur vest!  You will need to visit Jennie's blog to see her pick!


Have a Great Day!  Amy

  2. You may have been rushed off your feet but you still put together a polished look, Amy. I do admire those who put a nice outfit together in sub zero temperatures so well done you. We have about +9-10 c at moment so no chance of pretty snow.
    Longing to see your finished bedroom!

    1. Awww, thanks! I feel we are the only place in the world where it is still cold and snowy. All the other blogger fashion photos I see there is no snow in the background!
