One tank 3 ways: Thursday Moda with Ada’s Elegance and Mommyhood Link up

June 11, 2020 /

First of all, I want to thank Ada for asking me to co-host Thursday Moda with her. Ada is mom to cute little Vivian and I have enjoyed reading her blog and following her on Instagram for a couple of years now. I think some of my favorite of her posts are her mommy and me outfits: since I have 4 boys, I do not really match very often with my boys (sometimes we do with camo or certain color themes) and I love all of the cute little outfits they put together. Vivian is a little fashionista herself and Ada often shares her school outfits. Ada is also passionate about different topics and things that we should be aware of so I enjoy reading her post for that reason too.

If you are new to my blog, I am a mom of 4 boys who grew up in France. I also lived a couple of years in Mexico City. I love to shop but also love to budget and save, so when I shop, I always try to make sure I can find many ways to wear a particular piece. My favorite blog posts to write are my travel posts (can’t wait to travel again) and my fashion posts when I copy another blogger’s look or share several ways to wear one item. Making sure your clothes are versatile expands your wardrobe! I thrift but I also buy new so I might buy something for $1 but also might buy something for $75 if I know I will get my cost per wear.

Today, I am sharing 3 different ways to wear my new royal blue tank: these looks could be easily replicated with any other colored tanks or tee.

Casual Look

I bought this tank in a pretty green a couple weeks ago and like it so much I purchased it in blue this past week. It is the Tasamo Loose Sleeveless top. The top is soft, washes well and drapes really well.

I wore this outfit on Tuesday and wanted to add a third color to my outfit so I added my coral pink Nickel and Suede novas and my pair of Tanuk Sandals. Talk about a great buy: I bought a few years ago in children size and have worn them to the beach, as slippers on trips or just out and about with casual outfits.

I love my French straw tote! I bought this last year at an outdoor market in the south of France and love the different colors in it. I put my tote organizer in it to keep everything in its place. This is a fun bag to pull out in the summer. It brings me joy and was less than 10 euros!

Date Look

I usually just add fancy shoes and fancier jewelry when my husband and I go out on a date. Talking about dates, we really need to plan one soon! White denim makes any color pop so I love to wear my white jeans on dates.

Gold cuff and gold earrings which I should wear more often! Snakeskin patterned sandals for some texture!

This is my only little clutch: gift from my bestie in France! Large enough for a phone and a few necessities. It can be use alone or in a purse for organizing different things.

Travel Outfit

If you know me, you know I love to go on vacations and to travel. And yes, traveling with 4 children is possible. I am willing to invest in pieces that I know will be great for traveling and such is the case with these joggers. They are about sold out at Norsdtrom but if you are a size XS, they are on sale for $45 in the truffle color: worth every penny. They wash and dry well and I reviewed them in this post.

I bought my Addidas on sale at DSW and when they are worn out, I will be buying another pair: I love these! They are comfortable with socks, true to size and work with so many different outfits. Comfortable and cute for travel!

I repeated the color in my Nickel and Suede earrings: yes, I travel with several pairs of earrings usually Nickel and Suede ones. I love my striped weekender bag I found at TJ Maxx this winter: fits quite a lot! And I can never have too many travel bags!

Hope this post inspires you to see how you can use one item for different types of occasion and destinations.
