ageless style: January winter's blues

 



Happy Thursday, friends! Thanks for joining us for this month's link-party; the theme for January is "winter blues". As much as I love the color blue, I don't have a lot of it, and I had to dig for these pictures. Here are a few ways I wear this color.






My mom gave me this sweater for my birthday or Christmas two years ago; I love its turquoise color! If I had to pick a favorite shade of blue, it'd either be turquoise or periwinkle. 





...and here's the periwinkle color that I love. I have worn this sweatshirt a hundred times since the fall; I love what it says.


 




I love to wear blue or purple on my nails, too! This is the only time of year I wear this color polish. 




I wore this sweater on Monday when I went out to run errands, but this picture was taken last year before I was snowed in for a week. I also love the necklace that you see; my sister Debi bought me this years ago while I was in Colorado visiting them. It reminds me of clouds, and one of my favorite Bible verses: 


For Your faithful love is higher than the heavens, and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds (Psalm 108:4).




This is the dress I wore to Dad's funeral in July; I wore blue to honor him, because it was his favorite color. To be honest, that's probably why it's my favorite color as well. 




I also sometimes wear blue by wearing denim. This was when I first started working at my church; I had to get my picture professionally made for the staff page on our church website. 


How do you wear blue? Do you have a favorite shade? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. Love to all!

  1. I really love blue on you! I love that turqoise sweater at the beginning of the post. I never thought I could wear blue since I don't have blue eyes - lol, but now I am more drawn to it!

    1. Thank you! It's funny how we let things like that determine what we wear. Do you have more of it that you wear now?

  3. Blue is definitely a great color on you, from the dress for your dad's funeral to the sweaters and sweatshirts, they are beautiful on you! I love quite a few different shades of blue and usually have a few things hanging in each section of my closet in blue.

  11. Looks like you found lots of great shades of blue and they all look great. I am very drawn to the Choose Joy shirt you have. As a teacher, I think it would be heavily in rotation for me for casual Fridays. Have a great weekend.

  12. I don't wear blue often because I have blue eyes, which might seem very contrary!! But here in El Paso, especially 40 years ago when I first arrived, blue eyes were an attention-getter and I felt uncomfortable when people noticed my eyes. So I avoided wearing blue so as not to bring out the blue!! YOU, my friend, look so pretty in all these shades of blue. But my favorite is the mockneck sweater in that icier blue. Beautiful. And love the nails. I need to get bolder about my nail polish. Heck, I need to put on nail polish!!
