My frugal, affordable, creative styles for cruising

As you can see in the below photo, I also wear pants to Main Dining on Royal Caribbean.  I like to have my scarf around my neck (my neck gets cold), and a handbag.  The scarf is an estate sale scarf that I purchased for $2.00.  I add a touch of color to my handbag to match my outfit.  To find the right color to attach to my handbag, I find an old piece of clothing in the color I need in my closet and cut a strip that I can attach to the handbag with a safety pin.

Gap Linen Pants, Kim Rogers Linen Top, Modified Flip Flops, Gold Bracelets, Gold Necklaces, Apple Watch, Vintage Silk Scarf with Claude Monet scene on it, Diamond Stud Earrings and Gold Hoop Earrings, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish (#299-Pucker Up)

The white linen pants outfit above, is not a matched white set, but both are linen so it looks like a matched set. Another waddable of mine.  The wrinkles do not matter when it comes to linen.

 Kim Rogers, a brand I found in the past (when I shopped in department stores) at Belk’s.  I’ve always loved Belk’s.  My mom would take me in there when I was young.  The entire store smelled of gardenias, just like the gardenias beside my grandmother’s front porch.  The smell made me feel like I was in a good place, a place of love.
I make my own evening handbags.  I have a black one and a white one because those are the core colors that I use. They are simple but utilitarian. They are large enough to hold by phone, tissues, reading glasses  and anything else I might need while dining.
Whatever you wear, it doesn’t matter.  You will be you.  You will be making memories that you will carry with you always, memories as good as the smell of gardenias.
 Thank you for reading.
