Spring Fashions at Belk


Michael Kors has arrived at my local Belk store! It is so new that they were still setting up the department today.


Skinny jeans are still an item for spring. I've paired these white ones with a black knit tank of my own and this fabulous buttery black jacket with ruched three-quarter sleeves. The necklace is by Erica Lyons, and my own nude heels are by BCBGeneration.




There were many crisply tailored shirts, sweaters, jackets, and the ubiquitous khaki pants in the Lauren section.


The three-quarter sleeves of this pink and white stripe shirt have no buttons, just an open cuff. Perfect for an easy casual look without having to turn them up each time they slip down. I am wearing it with khaki ankle pants and my own Kenneth Cole Reaction sandals.

Every woman in my family goes to Belk when she needs a dress. They are known as the south's dress address.


This wrap detail dress is by Ralph Lauren.

I found so many great dresses I had a difficult time narrowing them down to three!


This royal blue knit dress with three quarter length sleeves was available in several colors.


For the bride or groom's mother, there were many special occasion dresses for women of every age. This blue-gray sleeveless dress came with a matching bolero jacket.

Belk also has a large selection of beautiful clutch bags that look really smart with dresses.

It was great fun chatting with all of you who showed up for the photoshoot today. I hope you found as many great items as I did!

Annual Progressive Dinner

Our holiday season always begins with the annual Progressive Dinner in Jonesborough, Tennessee's oldest town.



Temperatures dipped into the twenties last evening, so I wore red and black layers, knowing that we would be spending a bit of time outside as we visited each house on the tour.




The tour begins at the Chester Inn Museum.




At each stop along the guided bus tour, there is live music, one course of the meal, and a self-guided tour of each historic home.




This reclaimed barn wood table in a foyer was a work of art.




Old houses often have original hardware that proves hazardous for my high heels, such as this grate with huge holes. I experienced free-falling for a moment in this 1920's house before I realized where I was standing!




The main course was served at Jonesborough’s new McKinney Cultural Arts Center at the historic Booker T. Washington School.




The highlight of the evening is always singing along with The Jonesborough Novelty Band.




A train traveled under this tree!



I am wearing a Geiger boiled wool jacket, a Talbot's long sleeve tee, a necklace from Coldwater Creek, a red scarf, and black wide-leg pants from Stein Mart, with black short boots from Belk. All the items are a couple of years old... (the beauty of basics!)
