Fashion Friday: WIW in 9 Degrees

A few weeks ago I took a trip to Maryland to see my family. I kind of forgot that I missed them so much. It had been since last year at my wedding reception that I had seen them... too long.

I stayed with my sister, her boyfriend and their two dogs in their old schoolhouse turned home for a few days. The house is over 170 years old and really exudes the country home vibe with the exposed wood beams, stretching views of rolling hills, and two big ol' hairy dogs. :)

Here is what I wore the night it was a frigid 9 degrees. Note that what you do not see are the leggings that I wore every day under my jeans, the minimum of two additional shirts underneath, and my ski jacket I added over the top.

The sunsets were beautiful, very different from our (also gorgeous) Florida sunsets. I really enjoyed the change of scenery and checking out the area my sister is living in. Her dogs clearly love the area too. Here are a few shots I took while visiting Dickerson.

One of the white ones spat a piece of kibble right in her face when we ran out of food. It was hilarious, and Patty was totally stunned. A story her and I will surely remember forever.

Love you, Pat! Thanks for showing me around your town. :)

One more for the road - how sweet is this fluffy face?!

Fashion Friday: Feminizing a Men's Sweater

My new favorite thing to do when I don't know what to wear is to look through hubby's side of the closet. His sweaters are oversized on me and look great paired with a pair of leggings, riding boots, and a long necklace. 

We took a trip up to Jacksonville a few weekends back so Dee could load up on spray paint at an art store up there. It's a new hobby he is exploring, in our garage, on canvas. I honestly didn't know he was so much of an artist, his initial sketch blew me away.  

On our way home we went by this waterfront park and with the Jacksonville skyline in the background it was the perfect scene to catch my outfit. The water was so smooth, it hardly looked real.

Have you put together an outfit from the men's side in your closet? 

Any other easy combos from their side you'd like to share? 

I'd love to find a way to wear his flannels that doesn't look like pajamas.

Fashion Friday: Herringbone Under the Bridge.

I hope you enjoyed a love filled holiday with family and friends yesterday. As a blogger I find it difficult to turn off social media most days, but on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas I don’t feel so bad disconnecting from the rest of the world. And that’s the way it should be, right? 

Back to the holidays… my tree will be up through NYE, as will my Christmas decorations. Keeping up with the jolliness of the rest of the year- here’s a festive holiday look.

Herring bone screams winter to me and this vest is the perfect final layer for this chilly look. 

These were taken on a wooden trail under the bridge on Vilano Beach. I don’t think many people even realize this little trail is even there, definitely worth the time to seek out and take a walk down. You could make a little afternoon of just walking around Vilano: here, at the pier, at the beach, over the bridge… All worth a stroll.

Many thanks to Lucy and Wayne Smith, the photographers behind these photos. This is the fourth in a set of recent looks they captured for Fashion Friday. I’m planning to work with them again within the next two months so be on the lookout for more Fashion Fridays here on Just Me aghan. :)

Fashion Friday: Moto Jacket & Jeans on the Bridge

I'm in Maryland visiting family this weekend, but here's a slightly warmer look on the Vilano bridge from my recent photo shoot with Foxtale Photography for your Fashion Friday.

A moto jacket is the perfect amount of warmth for those days when it's cold but not yet cold enough for a full on winter coat.

I found the top necklace at the flea market recently, it's very intriguing with a different design on the other side. The bottom necklace is from the Pretty Little Liars line by Aeropostale. They were the perfect length to layer and I like the mixed metals.

Love Your Mother Eco Fashion Show Recap

This past weekend was the Love Your Mother Eco Fashion Show put on by Panache. I had the privilege to model for my friend Michelle Dorminey's collection called Electric Metal. All of the designs she made were made from cords, soda can tops, wires, and lids. There are some more detail shots of my outfit in this blog post.

Here's a peek at what it was like to be a model behind the scenes for the event.

Over muffins, mimosas and fruits Michelle got us prepped for the show.

Getting my silver leaf lightening bolt touched up. Yes, it is just like the gold leaf you hear about in many DIY projects, and it was affixed with Elmer's glue. How cool is that?!

Instead of doing five models' hair AND makeup on the day of the show, Michelle prepped wigs for all of us. Crazy, wild wigs with electronic pieces as part of the headbands.

Crazy cool hair right? :)

This collection was made from old VW marketing material and made by Juliana Koutouzakis, the creative director of the whole show. These ladies looked so awesome

Our group just before taking it to the cat walk.

Dee brought his drone out and caught some images of the show from the sky. Thanks babe! :)

That's me on the big screen!

Rocking my eco fashion recycled get up like it was Versace!

Of course it started to sprinkle right when our group was up. Luckily it didn't last long at all.

The Record has a compilation of photos from the event on their Spotted site. Definitely check that out to see more of the outfits from the Love Your Mother Fashion Show!

As a fashion blogger I had such an awesome time modeling for this show, but I'm ready to be a viewer at the next one. Does anyone know of any fashion events coming up in St. Augustine or Jacksonville?
