Atlanta Botanical Gardens: Yellow Color Search
A couple weeks ago, I took the boys to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens in hopes of the tulips still being in bloom. However, they had just pulled them out and tilled the area where they had been, so we decided to focus our visit on a color search. Since I was participating in a color challenge with some friends, we look for two colors, yellow and pink! We renewed our membership to the gardens, so we will be back in a couple months when the new sculpture exhibit is installed. Searching forĀ blooms of a color is a fun way to make a visit to the gardens more interesting. We…

An Outfit Inspired by one of Jennifer’s Dizis
This was another instance when I took pictures, added them to a blog but forgot to write the blog post itself before I pressed the publish button. I had to quickly schedule it for another day and post a different outfit blog on the day I had planned this one. Jennifer from Curated by Jennifer loves her dizis or Turkey soap operas and regularly recreated outfits she has seen on those shows. I recently wore my crochet vest, and she reached out with pictures from one of her dizis that she thought I could recreate. So today, I am sharing that outfit. While I am not in love with this…

3 Ways to wear a Set with the Ageless Style Link Up
Today, Joanne suggested showing how to wear something 3 ways: I could have shared how to wear my new to me denim dress 3 ways, but I will do that soon enough. Instead, I decided to share how to wear this set 3 ways. I am not one much for sets, but I do have a skirt set that I really enjoy (see here) and I think this pant and tank set will be a fun one to wear. I bought it when my friend’s online boutique was closing, so I read the description for it and decided to take a chance on it. Of course, there are many more…

Make Time for Friends
Last week, I drove up to Chattanooga to meet my friend Rachel whom I met through IG 3 to 4 years ago. We typically meet up for a little thrifting and lunch, but we have also met with the kids at playgrounds and the aquarium, and I went up for two of her book signing events. Here are the links to her books if you enjoy murder mysteries with a side of romance (here and here)! We tried a new place for lunch which turned out pretty nice since all of the fixings for the salad looked fresh and there was a nice variety of dressings. We had to wear…

Spring Skirt Outfits 2026
Every year, when I start switching out my wardrobe for spring and summer, I greet my summer skirts like long lost friends. Some do hang in my closet all year, however I like to put some away because they feel like new when I pull them out. And each year, I find new ways to wear them. Of course most of these get worn with tank tops a lot during the summer and I do repeat some outfits. But I am always surprised when I put together a new combination! Maxi in Purple One example is this outfit: have I never paired these 2 together? I don’t think so, but…

The Perfect Thrifted Denim Dress
There is a little place in town that holds different booths that each person rent: you can find furniture, boutique items, second hand items and some antiques. I like to visit it about once a month, sometimes in search of something in particular like a lamp and other times just for fun. I decided to stop by in March for a quick see even though I wasn’t planning to spend on clothes and came home with this dress and a belt buckle (for a total of $13). This was the perfect denim dress and here is why it is the perfect dress. The length is perfect: it can be worn…

Tellus Museum: Old Tech Alert
A couple months ago, we decided to take advantage of the 1st week of the month free museum entrance with your bank of America card perk to visit the Tellus Museum newest exhibit and building. Only card member get the free admission, so we still had to pay for our children it still gave us a break. We spent the most time in this Replace by the Smartphone gallery (which I am sharing here), but we did visit the temporary Journey to Space Gallery. We are hoping to go back and visit that one before it is rotated out, but I am not sure we will have the time. I…

Denim Jackets: Styling a Variety of Silhouettes
Everyone has a denim jacket, but nowadays, you can find denim jackets in a variety of silhouettes just as you can find different styles and cuts of denim jeans. Today, I am styling four different jackets from my closet, but I am still on the lookout for a short sleeve denim jacket (I may cut the sleeves of a thrifted long sleeve one if I find a cut I like). Three out of 4 of these were thrifted and my oldest is the non-thrifted classic one from Target. Jodie is also sharing some denim jackets with different silhouettes and I cannot wait to see how she styled them. Here is…

Daily Outfits with Blazers for Spring
The weather here in Georgia is weird: you can have a 30 degree jump during the day especially in the transitional months. So the opportunity for lighter layers can be fleeting and I wanted to take advantage of some of those days to wear my thrifted blazers. And yes, you can wear blazers even if you do not work in an office. I am a stay at home mom and enjoy adding a little structure to my outfits with a blazer. Black Blazer Last time I shared this black blazer, I recreate an IG outfit, so today, I wanted to wear a different way. I actually am wearing the same…

Spring Trend 2026: Black Leggings Capri
When I searched for this year’s spring trends, I was surprised to see black leggings capris as one of them, but after seeing an inspiration picture, I quickly came up with an outfit I could wear and share by combining some pieces in my closet that I had never put together in one outfit. I have had a pair of black leggings capris for years, wearing them mostly as a layering piece under tunics and short dresses in the past. This pair is fairly old, I am not sure how old it is, I would guess about 10 years, and if I remember correctly I bought it at Walmart for…
