I have already done a couple of Walmart try-ons recently, but when they asked me to do another, I was totally in!  Not only have I had a fun time shopping their fall collections, but I have also kept several pieces to add to my wardrobe and they are current favorites.  If you missed the other two try-ons, you can find them HERE and HERE.  I have lost almost 30 pounds so far this year, so my size is currently in flux.  While some of my clothes are getting baggy, I’m fitting back into old favorites.  But, I do need to add a few more pieces to round out my fall and winter wardrobe and I don’t want to spend a lot of money since I expect (hope)

I saw a pair of shoes in an e-mail from Magnolia Pearl a few weeks ago and right away, I was smitten.  They look like antique leather baby shoes, but they are shoes for adults!  Oh my…I couldn’t send Red an e-mail fast enough to see if they had them in my size. While I was waiting for the reply, doubt crept in…  “Can I pull them off?”  I’ve been marinating on this question and how I squashed my own excitement for a pair of shoes I was immediately drawn to and excited about wearing.  And I realized I do that to myself all the time.   Can I pull this off?   What is that question

Disclosure:  This post is sponsored by Magnolia Pearl.  I am over-the-moon to be partnering with such a unique and amazing brand.  As always, all words and opinions are my own. I think it was my second year selling as a vendor at the Lucketts Spring Market and a couple of other vendors scurrying around the event, setting up their spaces and coordinating other vendors, caught my eye.  They were wearing ruffled pantaloons and layered under linen dresses with beautiful details, finished off with lace-up leather boots.  It was different and slightly eccentric, but I loved it.  Not only did I love the easy, feminine style of it, but I loved that these ladies weren’t wearing what the trends told them to wear.  They were wearing something that spoke to their personal aesthetic and it worked. And, I have to admit, the theatre-girl and antique-lover in me both love clothing that
