LINK-END ROUND-UP: March 24, 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

Happy Friday and the first Friday of Spring 2023! I feel like Spring really didn’t show up until it was Spring and that silly groundhog was right. They really may be in cahoots together, but as the weather showed. It’s a cloudy, gloomy day here in Memphis, but I did mention that the spring weather is really supposed to show up this weekend. Unfortunately, the allergies have already started to show up. The weather is warm and the allergens are in the air.

My concept of time and days are still all over the place. The weekends feel longer, which makes Mondays insane. Not to mention, it will feel like Friday when it’s on Tuesday. Also, I’ve been feeling more tired than usual. However, I think that may be due to lack of  Vitamin D. So, I’m going to pick up a bottle of supplements this weekend to see if that improves my energy. If not, I will go ahead and schedule an annual to see what could be going on. Unfortunately, I waited too late to get an appointment last year. I’m planning to do better with all my annuals this year.

It’s still March Madness on the TV in my home this weekend, but this is the last weekend of multiple games that take up my days. Even though my team didn’t make it out the first weekend, the games have been amazing. So, I am a little sad it’s ending soon, but that just means I have more time to be outside. lol

I hope you all have a great weekend and check out the reads in this week’s Link-End Round-Up.

It’s finally my second favorite season; Spring! My favorite part of spring is the weather that starts off cool, bur5 eventually warms up to pleasant sunny day. Unfortunately, that pesky groundhog may have been right, because Winter weather is still lingering. However, I peeped the forecast, and the weather is supposed to be warm and sunny – just how I like it.

Although I’ve been wanting to start shopping for spring, it’s been hard to get in the spirit with cold and cloudy weather. Thankfully, the hope that that’s about to change has motivated me to start filling my online shopping carts. However, I want to start with getting pieces for my go-to look for spring – my seasonal spring uniform.

When I think of a seasonal uniform, I think more about the silhouette with pieces that you can interchange. Using the same shape but with different colors and textures give you more style options. This spring, I want to be all about the easy, casual and chic of jeans, oversized button up blouse with textured accessories.

On that note, here is the what I want my spring uniform to be for 2023.

eSTYLIST: Spring Uniform 2023

  • Distressed Bell Bottoms – I’ve been wanting a pair of bell bottoms for a while and I’m loving the distress of this pair.
  • Button-down Striped Poplin Shirt – You can ever go wrong with too many loose button ups, because can dress them up or down. Plus, so many colors and design, but I always fancy vertical stripe ones.
  • Large Woven Satchel – I’m obsessed with this bag and it was so close to being on my next LHL post, but it’s my dream spring bag, at the moment.
  • Mixed Media Bracelet Stack -Recently, I’ve started to want to bring bracelet stacks back into my daily wear. I love that this bracelet gives the look of stacks, but it’s only one piece.

Happy St. Patty’s Day! Are you wearing green today, too? Well, I’m wearing a pair of St. Patrick Day Air Max that came out in 2020. So, I’m good and not worried about being pinched. lol

March Madness just started yesterday and it’s definintely one of my favorite times of year, because it feels like basketball is on all day. Actually, it is on practically on all day the first weekend, but there is always something to watch. Cherry on top is that my Tigers made it in this year and they play tonight. Although our chances are good, I have anxiety and there have already been some big upsets. No matter what, I still plan to be watching as much of the tournament as possible – even at work.

While I plan to be at home getting my March Madness on, I’m hoping to get a head start on spring cleaning. The first task I tend to take on is my closet, because I’m a weirdo that loves getting rid of clothes I no longer want or bring me joy. Plus, it gives me a reason to start shopping for new clothes. 😀

No matter what you have going on, I hope you have a good weekend! As usual, please check out this week’s reads in this edition of Link-End Round-Up.

Today is Friday even though I thought yesterday was Friday. Obviously, it’s been a week for me, but a good one none the less. Hopefully, you week treated you well and kind. I’m going to be a little transparent with you by saying that most of the reads almost got pushed to next week. However, one of things I’ve been trying to work on being deligent and sticking to a routine. So, I decide to go ahead and stick to it and post it today.

I will say that I probably could stick to a routine if this weather would. The weather here in Memphis has been all over the place the past couple of weeks. We’ll get a few days of warm and spring like weather followed by 5 days of cold, rainy days. Unfortunately, we currently dealing with the latter and I’m starting to feel the withdrawl of Vitamin D, which is affecting my mood. However, this is causing me to start doing things I enjoy.

For instance, I had a long lunch on a work day with my best friend at ramen place 5 minutes from me that I’ve never tried. Although neither of us got ramen (ha!), the rice dish we each got was so good. Not only was it good, but it was a lot of food and I ate off of it for 2 days. Still, I enjoyed that hour plus lunch with one of my favorite people while being able to take time away from work.

Despite the weather, spring is almost here and I’m starting to think about spring cleaning. I don’t have much to throw out since I tend to purge a couple of times a year. However, my kitchen stove needs a deep clean and it will be at the top of my list. I’ve been putting if off for too long and I’m planning to look for videos and suggestions on how to get this done. While I’m reading about cleaning grimey stoves this weekend, check out this week’s Link-End Round-Up. Dont’ worry, not a gross read in the bunch. 🙂
