TGIF! Can you believe Friday is knocking on our door once more? February has arrived, and with it, lots of love. If you’re wondering what to give that special someone in your life, your kiddos, friends, or even yourself, I’m sharing a few of my favorite Valentine’s Day Gifts. But we all know Fridays are for Oscar, a cocktail, and a bite to eat. So come on in and sit a spell.
Today, we’re wrapping up the Yellowstone series. Season four is in the books, and if you’re like me, you’re looking forward to season five. The modern-day western penned by Taylor Sheridan is set to begin production in May with a fall release date. Fun fact: it’s the most-watched show on cable television since its launch in 2018. And one of the supporting characters is Michael Landon’s daughter – Jennifer Landon, who plays Teeter.
I heard great things about this show from my chats with my painter way back in 2018 but only started watching Yellowstone last winter. And I’ve gotta say I’m a big fan. Not only is the acting first-rate (who doesn’t love Kevin Costner?) along with the writing, but the scenery is breathtaking, and I love the laid-back fashion dished up every week by Beth and Monica. The Dutton family is single-handedly bringing hats and cool jackets back in vogue. And I just have to mention that the lead character is sixty-three years old and not portrayed as a daughtering old fool. Progress!

Today’s outfit is perfect for the weekend. It’s a simple style recipe for a blouse and pants. I particularly liked these explorer pants from Banana Republic’s fit with a cinched waist and wide legs. Since there’s volume with the pants, proportion is key; a fitted top and/or jacket is necessary. The reviews are 50/50 with these pants. You’re either going to love them or hate them. Me? I’m always keen to try something on for size and came away loving these pants. I added a simple ivory blouse with balloon sleeves is the perfect match. A horn link necklace adds texture and visual interest to the outfit, as do the brown suede boots. To wear a hat or not to wear a hat? That is the question. My mom loved hats and passed that love down to me. But it’s come to my attention that I don’t wear them nearly as often as I should, which needs to be changed, starting with this wool fedora. Mr. Style would nod his approval as he loved and wore hats regularly.
I’m not a big fan of bourbon, whiskey, or rye (they all fall under the same family), but this is a bourbon cocktail that I will happily make again. The addition of the sage simple syrup gave the bourbon just the right balance. Beth Dutton would approve.

Love your post today. Pats to Oscar. Those explorer pants look very comfy and look great on you. It is really cool that you can have fun with clothes! Tacos look delicious too. I’ll have to find a way to watch Yellowstone. Thanks for your blog.

What a clever idea to have Yellowstone week! Loved their fashion, and Ralph is also my favorite designer! We are also going to try the knockoff series from Yellowstone….love the cowboy genre!
You and Oscar have a wonderful weekend ❤️
Westerns took a back seat for many years so it’s refreshing to watch modern-day cowboys this time around. enjoy your weekend!
Lo be the look today and the Fedora is just the icing on the cake for me. It’s blowing a blizzard her in Northern Ireland so snuggling down for a cosy evening with family enjoy your weekend.

Hi Beth I have been following you a number of years. My husband passed away 2018 at the age of 61. We had been together since we were 19! I get inspiration from you and really enjoy all your posts especially your Friday ones. Prayers to you for strength.
Sincerely, Carol
God bless, Carol. it’s one day at a time! hugs. xo
You made me give Yellowstone another chance. At first I though too manly for me. My husband and I revisited last night and we love it…….binged the first four.
Those pants are so my style!
the series gets better and better! and it’s soooo relevant. aren’t these pants “all that” love them!
I enjoy your posts. BTW – it’s doddering old fool.

Happy Sunday Beth! This is my favorite outfit from the Yellowstone series. You look fantastic! I’m not a bourbon fan either, but that drink looks so refreshing. Always love seeing Oscar.
