Dressing Room Re-Do

Several months ago, my husband and I moved from a rectanugular-shaped studio apartment above his grandmother’s garage into the main house. The house is small, but large enough for the two of us and our three fur-babies. Now we use the studio apartment as a guest room, although, we rarely, if ever, have overnight guests.

What I’m Loving… Maxi Dresses

I love the look of a stylish maxi dress, but have not dipped my toe into purchasing one until just recently. I bought my first maxi dress at Target and I love it! It’s a black and white striped tank style maxi. I got it on sale, and with my coupon from the Cartwheel for Target app, I snagged it for $7.32! What a bargain!
