Booties with the Ageless Style Link Up
Welcome to our November Ageless Style Link Up where we show you that style has no age! This month, Bo shows the theme of booties! Since I have not shopped in a month, I decided to share one of my favorite pairs of booties I picked up last year at Target when they had their 20% off sale on boots. I have quite a few pairs of booties probably because I really enjoy fall and there are so many styles. These are my only patterned ones and I mostly wear them with pants and the occasional skirt. I wasn’t sure how much I would wear a pair of snakeskin booties…

Can it get any prettier?! Cotton Fields at Sunset Take 2
Last week, before the time change, my teen and I decided to take a quick walk down the hill to our neighborhood. As we were going down we noticed that the sun was going to set fairly soon so we decided to cross the street and bridge and run to the park with the cotton field where I took pictures a couple of weeks ago. And it did not disappoint. Since everyone enjoyed the pictures last time, I think you will love these even more. The timing was perfect! Unbeknownst to us, though my 7 year old got sick at the house while we were enjoying these views and with…

Thanksgiving Outfit 2021: Poncho and Boots
There’s nothing like photographing a cool/cold weather outfit when it is warm. But I wanted to take advantage of the cotton fields before they were harvested so 70 degree weather was it! We probably should have waited about 30 minutes later as the sun was still a little high but I had done some Christmas shopping that afternoon and I was tired and ready to get it done. When deciding what to wear for this post, I knew right away that I wanted to wear this Target poncho or better named Plaid Wrap Jacket I picked up with a birthday gift card from my brother. My first concern was whether…

Inspired by 5 Different Bloggers for Outfits of the Day
Week 4 without shopping for any clothing! If you know me, that is an accomplishment! To help me in my endeavor (I want to keep at shopping my closet without adding anything new till the 1st of the year), I am taking inspiration from other bloggers to put together some new outfits using what I already have. This means that an outfit will not be an exact copy of another but will be inspired by it and replicated in a loose manner. So here are real outfits that I have worn these past couple of weeks. Inspired by Living on Cloud Nine I don’t think I had paired a vest…

Rainy Hike at Fort Mountain State Park
Well, this hike didn’t go exactly as planned! I had seen two bloggers share this state park which was on my list to visit because the views were beautiful. I looked at the weather forecast and it looked like we would miss the rain but it turned out a lot wetter and foggier than we expected! The hike that I had planned with the views was actually closed because of a downed power line so we had to take an alternate hike there. Which means, we will need to go back to see those views. The first thing we did was pick up the pass for the day (I wanted…

November Sunday Showcase: A Thanksgiving Outfit Option
I am glad to share the spotlight once again with Ada (Elegance and Mommyhood) who is back to blogging after a couple of months break. Today we are sharing some Thanksgiving outfit ideas. I will be sharing another holiday look next week which could work throughout fall and winter. Living in the South, a fall outfit may or may not work for Thanksgiving. It may be chilly or it may decide to be 75 degrees. We have been spending Thanksgiving in Florida for the past few years, so I usually do not wear one of these options as they are typically too warm but I love the inspiration that can…

Promoting Friendships for Your Children
Lately, the social and spiritual health of my children has been weighing on me. As parents, we guide our children as they grow from needing us for everything as babies, then growing into young children who need guidance and support and then into teenagers and young adults who crave independence but still need that guidance and support but maybe in a less obvious way. I have made many mistakes over the years, starting by being an impatient mom, giving too much independence, not enough, and expecting my kids to do certain things on their own but not realizing that they still need some scaffolding from me to become their own…

Evening Walk: Cotton and Sunset
I finally managed to take a walk before the sunset by the cotton fields. The fields finally bloomed (much later this year) and I pass them everyday wanting to capture some of the beauty. The fields look really cool when it is foggy, at sunset and early morning. It really looks like snow from afar. I am grateful everyday for where we live and how we get a touch of country life as we drive to school. I saw one of my friends walking ahead with her puppy (not so little doberman) and her neighbor so I jogged and joined them on their walk. It was fun to see how…

What to Wear to the Pumpkin Patch: Dress with Combat Boots
Just as my post about What to Wear to a Winery mentioned, you really can wear whatever you would like to the pumpkin patch. A dress, jeans, shorts… Now when you blog, you might wear something a little unexpected like a dress with combat boots. Probably not my best idea as these were cream colored and it had rained a few days prior to our visit. Thankfully, I did bring along another pair of shoes to change into after a few pics as I probably would have ruined them. You can see some of the activities we enjoyed in my post (here). I chose one of my summer dress whose…

October Favorite Looks
Every month, I try some new combination while mostly shopping my closet but also with some new additions. this past month, I stopped by Old Navy for the first time in several months and picked up a few things and also added a pair of plaid pants from Target. Some outfits don’t photograph as well as others even though I might have really like them so the ones I share on the blog are usually my top favorites while I share looks 5 times a week on Instagram. I called this my Old Navy outfit as the pants and top are both from there. The top is several years old…
