#FridaysFancies Sparkle + Shine on southeastbymidwest.com

I know that I haven’t posted in awhile and that’s because I’ve been spending time with my husband who is currently in the hospital. We’re still on a “wait and see” basis of what’s going on with him, however, since he’s feeling a bit better I decided to go ahead and do a post for today.

Friday’s Fancies: Pretty in Plaid

#FridaysFancies Pretty in Plaid on southeastbymidwest.com

Additionally, I think the cut takes the plaid from a “lumberjack” pattern to

Sweater Weather on southeastbymidwest.com

It’s time for another Friday’s Fancies, which means I’M LINKING UP WITH ALISON. Hale and Hearty Sweater from ModCloth – $42.99 I don’t really like thick sweaters, unless they’re hoodies.

No Spend November

No Spend November on southeastbymidwest.com

So a blogging friend of mine, Paige from A Dose of Paige, is having a link-up. The linkup is “No Spend November” and it’s kind of like a ladies version of “No Shave November”. I’m sure if we all sat down and thought about it we could come up with an area of our life that we could stand to cut back on spending for
