Skirt and Top Set: 3 Ways
I have bought a couple sets before and have not worn them much: one was a lounge set which I really only wear the sweatpants, but I do have a crochet skirt and sweater that I love as separates and as a set. On my trip to Arizona, I hit the jackpot at Just be Youtiful boutique. One of my buys was this pretty green set. I really thought I was done shopping, but then we saw the set on the mannequin and I just had to try it! I had a lot of fun choosing accessories for my church outfit! I started out with my sandals and grabbed my…

Neutral Looks: Summer OOTD
After a couple weeks of very bright outfits, I decided I wanted to wear some neutral outfits. The fun thing about a thrifted wardrobe is that I have quite a variety of colors, patterns and style and while I do love my boho pieces, I really like a little bit of everything. Ombre Tulle Skirt I absolutely loved this outfit: I wore it on errands and visiting my parents. Both the skirt and the tee are thrifted and the earrings and bracelets were new additions bought in Arizona. Inspired by Janki You know how I love to copy a look and this one from Janki was a no brainer! I…

Another visit to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens
Last week, I went to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens with two of my running friends. I really wanted to see the Alice in Wonderland exhibition before they took it down (mid-September) and wanted to plan one fun outing a week till my birthday. We stopped by the French bakery for some breakfast and then decided to get some sandwiches to go too! We took advantage of a Groupon for our admission to the gardens which saved us $10. One of the things that I enjoy at the botanical gardens is that you see something different each time you go. Tulips and roses in the spring, there is usually an amazing…

Themed OTTD: Yellow Outfits for a Week
After wearing red, white and blue for a week around the 4th of July, I decided to continue choosing to wear daily outfits following a color scheme and deciding on yellow in honor of the sunshine! Yellow for me symbolizes happiness, joy and optimism. I started pulling out everything I could think of that I could wear in the summer and I was surprised how much yellow I have! Some items I have worn more than other over the years, but I still do like all of them. Yellow and Turquoise I bought this dress a couple years ago and I have worn it 3 seasons out of the year.…

Back to School with the Ageless Style Link Up
Everyone in my household is back to school, so this month’s Ageless style theme is appropriate! Since I am not going back to school myself, I thought I would share an outfit inspired by Pinterest that I would take would be perfect for the first day of school as a teacher and also that I would wear any day of the week early fall! When I saw this colorful outfit, I knew I wanted to replicate it because the color combo was so bright and fun! I was very easy to settle on the blouse and pants as I had something in the same color scheme. I had forgotten about…

An Afternoon in Dahlonega, GA
The week before school started, I decided it would be fun to have an afternoon outing away from the house. We have visited Dahlonega at least once a year, but always enjoy returning. There are different restaurant options, antique shops to visit and it is less than a 2 hour drive from home. This afternoon, we were on a bit of a time constraint and I will have to remember to not plan that way next time. I think we would have enjoyed spending a little more time there. This time we decided to visit the Gold Museum which is housed in the building behind me. I wore a thrifted…

2 More Ways to Wear a Sari Skirt
While I did buy some new clothes this summer, it also has been my goal to wear as much as I can in my closet. I have been wearing more skirts and dresses in the past few weeks, and I decided it was time to wear my sari skirt. I have shared 5 ways to wear it in this post and wore it with a denim jacket last fall here and one more way here. Now, I do not remember all of the ways to style it, but have a cheat sheet with instructions. Skirt with a Sash This was an easy way to wear my skirt: tie the wrap…

Summer Fun Color Combo
One of my IG followers who I communicate almost on the daily (she always has positive feedback and send me fun links/accounts) shared a post from the @thehouseof.social who had some mood boards featuring some fun color combos to try with clothes. I thought it would be a perfect way to have fun getting dressed one week at the end of June and I shopped my closet for my outfits. It was a fun, easy exercise and I love how these outfits turned out. Red, Light Blue and Navy While I sometimes repeat outfits, I most often try to mix up my outfits and create new combinations with what is…

Old Town Scottdale
I stayed in Scottsdale a few years ago for my brother’s wedding, but we didn’t had time to do much sightseeing, and only had hiked near where we stayed. So when Jodie mentioned the possibility of spending some time in Old Town Scottsdale, I jumped at the opportunity. I was surprised at how picturesque and fun it was, and there is more to explore for another time! I am thinking that if the hubby and I make an anniversary trip there in the fall of 2026, that a couple days in Scottsdale followed by a stay in Flagstaff or somewhere within an hour’s drive would be really cool. This horse…

Midi Floral Skirt with Denim Button Down
It’s time for another Pinterest look! I have had so much fun this summer with these! I barely wore this skirt last year, but have worn it several times this spring and summer. There is a reason it is one of my oldest skirts: it never goes out of style with its classic circle shape and vibrant floral pattern. Below is my inspiration and I tell you, I am a little tempted to let my hair go natural when I see this haircut and color. My hair right now is a mixture of grey, dark blonde and some highlights/lowlights. I did forget about carrying a similar bag (we took these…
