My Name is Melody, and I’m a Fauxtrovert

My Name is Melody, and I’m a Fauxtrovert

I’m sharing how I use #Listerine in my life as a part of a LISTERINE® sponsored series for Socialstars™. All my closets friends will you tell you that I’m a fauxtrovert. Fauxtrovert (adj): the act of being a fake extrovert. (n): someone who is outgoing only when they have to be. I can’t help it. I’m a introvert trapped in the life of an extrovert, and while everyone is making plans to go out and have fun after work all I’m thinking of is how awesome my couch is going to feel while I read or catch up on missed TV…

Starting My Spring Capsule Wardrobe

Spring is less than 20 days away and since having a Winter Capsule Wardrobe was probably one of the best things I ever did fashion wise I decided to keep it going into Spring. Since our area is a bit colder during the Spring (that is if we don’t skip the season completely like we did last year), I’m counting on a good bit of my stuff transitioning over.

Snow Daze

  One of the best things about having a Capsule Wardrobe is that it really forces you to think outside the box when it comes to putting together outfits. After my husband dug us out of the house we decided to get out and enjoy this beautiful snow day. Usually, I would throw on a sweatshirt and some jeans, but this year I’ve told myself that I want to make a concentrated effort to get out of that “grad student” funk when it comes to outfits. So, I decided to to wear my faux leather leggings that I picked up…
