Tulle and Denim

July 29, 2024 /

I had a couple of ideas on how to style my tulle overlay “dress”, but the ideas I had for summer did not translate the way I thought they would in reality. Then I remembered that Jodie recently layered her tulle skirt under a denim skirt in one of her recent post (see here by scrolling to the end of her post) and I decided to try that: success: a cool outfit to wear for Saturday night church!

There are some days, I just reach for an easy tried and true combo while other days, I like to get the creative juices going and come up with some fun outfits to wear out and about. I love when I get an idea from a friend and Jodie always had fun ideas to try. Like her outfit, I matched the tulle with my top and then I accessorized in the same color.

I’ve been having a grand ole time decluttering this summer! I am hoping that by the time school starts, all of the junk will have disappeared! My youngest tends to bring home the little toys that are rewards but are the bane of my existence because they provide 2 minutes of fun before becoming clutter. I took this particular day to discard these and went through the boys bookcase to give away books the boys don’t read anymore.

Some of the picture books were books I had had since my first teaching days 20+ years ago. I was glad that a neighbor’s daughter wanted them for her classroom. Closets, drawers and shelves have been decluttered and organized. I love that feeling of accomplishment.

I’ve tried to give the boys one daily task to accomplish whether it is cleaning or organizing: dusting, cleaning mirrors, vacuuming, taking out trash… They also have to read daily, play outside and try to come up with something creative whether it is a craft or a game. They then get rewarded with an allowance or the opportunity to order a book or get a treat on the weekend. That only really worked for the first month of summer though.

I really like how this outfit turned out! I still think the tulle overlay would look cool over a pair of dark denim or camo pants: I will try both this fall and share here if the outfits come out the way I hope!

A bientôt!
