Hello Everyone!  I don't regularally post on Tuesday's, but today we are going to take a little field trip.  When Tiffany from Bright on a Budget asked me to write a guest post for her wardrobe re-wear series, I jumped right on board. Tiffany's blog has a little bit of everything: fashion, beauty, DIY projects and some fun tips on looking great and having fun on a budget. I know you will enjoy her blog as much as I do!  Are you ready?  Let's go!

If you read my July Favorites post, you'll remember that the Barefoot Dreams Cardigan, a.k.a. the Blardigan was on my list.  It has been on my wishlist since Pinterest Told Me To highlighted it as a Santa Alert last fall.  This open front, wrap cardigan is a must have and is the softest piece of clothing I've ever worn!  It's lightweight, flattering, and drapes perfectly over your body. While it is a splurge item, it will keep you warm and cozy through the winter and is a great piece to transition into spring and to wear on cooler summer nights.  Working from home, I know that I will wear this all of the time.
My good friend Laureen, also works from home and recently purchased the Blardigan too. On the Nordstrom site, the Blardigan is shown as lounge wear.  We thought it would be fun to show you how versatile this piece is and worth the price, by dressing it up and styling it for every season!  Laureen has the wrap cardigan in the ombre color and I have the pewter color. 

The hubs and I both got time off work, our daughter had a break from swimming for a few weeks and we found a cabin in Michigan to rent.  But then time got away from us and the cabin was no longer available so, what to do?  We decided to head downtown for a few days instead.  We moved to the suburbs 10 years ago and I still miss living in the city.  Usually at this point of the summer, we would have made it downtown at least 4 or 5 times but since we haven't been at all, this was the perfect alternative.

We stayed on Michigan Avenue so we would be close to the beach, restaurants, shopping and the buses to take us to the museums. While we never made it to the beach or the architectural cruise due to the temps in the 60's, instead we hit the museums and ate some amazing food!

Argo has the best chocolate mint tea!  They have a little outdoor garden that we hung out in for awhile.

Hello Everyone!  Today I'm co-hosting the Style Confessions Linkup with Lindsay from Sequins & Style and Crystal from That's So Crystal!  They both have amazing style and are great sources for inspiration!  I hope that you will join us and link up some of your amazing looks!

Cutoffs are a summer staple and like your favorite jeans, are not reserved just for tee's. Looking back at my OOTD photos over the past week I realized I had worn mine several times, each creating a fresh look.

I revamped the classic cutoff look by adding strappy wedges and a dressier tank top.
