Visible Mondays

A Knockoff Revisited

I've decided to join in on the fun at Not Dead Yet Style as part of her Visible Monday posts. A Fool for Fabric introduced me to the site, so thank you Margy. Visible Mondays features a photo gallery of bloggers expressing their own personal style or latest projects every Monday. For me its one of my knockoff tops in a colorful butterfly print that lifts my spirits every time I wear it.

The Not Dead Yet Style blog is based on the premise of looking "authentic and feeling beautiful in our middle years". As someone in her middle years (plus a few more years at that) the site is a platform for us to let the world know what we may lack in slim figures we make up for in experience, maturity and a lifetime of know how.  

The top made in a pretty butterfly print out of a lightweight linen-like fabric, pretty much says a lot about who I am these days. Long gone are the beautiful suits I used to wear in my "career days". Now I live in comfortable, casual clothing. So lots of what I make these days are tops and shirts I can wear when I teach, shop, whatever.

  3. Nice to meet you, Linda! Some of us are even a lot older than middle age! Butterflies are everyone's favorite bug, and I'm no exception. Lovely blouse, you look fresh and pretty in it, and your talents are substantial ... I just took your hint about square corner construction to heart!
