I was sitting on my couch the other day, where else would I be?! Shopping online, what else would I be doing?! I found a really cute dress from Asos; so of course I ordered it, along with a few other items!! 😆 When the dress arrived I was so excited to try it on. It was as cute … [Read more...] about Dress, Duster, Or Both?

I’m Adding Color & Pattern To My Wardrobe!

If you look at my closet I’d say about 80% of my clothes and accessories are black, 15% other neutrals, and the last 5% color. I’m okay with that, but often when I see others wearing color I like how it looks. So I have decided to try and add some color, as well as pattern, to my … [Read more...] about I’m Adding Color & Pattern To My Wardrobe!

Easy “Dress”ing

I love wearing dresses. Like a jumpsuit, it's an easy way to choose an outfit. No deciding what top goes with what bottom, just one piece and you're good to go. It's easy to take your spring or summer dresses in to the colder weather by adding a sweater, either a cardigan … [Read more...] about Easy “Dress”ing

The other day my husband left to move my daughter to NYC and I stayed home with the dogs. There was nothing on tv so I did a little reading and then, you guessed it, I was bored. So what do I do when I’m bored? Yup, shop online! I love to try on clothes at home. For whatever … [Read more...] about My Zara Spree

I have to be honest, I don’t think my name @diar I have to be honest, I don’t think my name @diaryboredhousewife has ever been more appropriate than this past month. I am so bored! But I know it’s better to be bored and healthy!  We’ve been going through firewood like crazy. I love having a fire in the fire place (do does Zeke! @ziggyandzeke). I find it so comforting. Today on the blog I’m sharing what has kept me comforted and entertained (link in bio)  Hope you’re all safe and healthy and are finding great things to do to keep you busy. If you’ve got any good ideas, please share!! 🥰  .  .  .  .  .

There were so many incredible outfits shared on #c There were so many incredible outfits shared on #clothesthatdontboreme so here’s part 2 of the #weeklyroundup  The other day I was talking with @sallysquiggles (who is fabulous & if you don’t follow this sassy lady, you’re missing out!) Anyway, we both agreed that it’s so hard to choose who to include in each roundup as so many wonderful ladies join in & we don’t want to leave anyone out (I feel like it’s the mom in me-I always remember telling my kids to include/invite everyone so no ones feelings get hurt).  So what I’ve been doing is this:  Each week I try to include different ladies. So if I shared your outfit last week you may not be in this week’s roundup, but you could still show up on my stories!  You need to be following me @diaryboredhousewife in order to be included in the weekly roundup.  Ladies, please know that I so appreciate all of you who join in and support the hashtag.

#clothesthatdontboreme Weekly Roundup! Why is it #clothesthatdontboreme Weekly Roundup!  Why is it that I’m so much more adventurous with my outfits when I travel?
