Stripes for Spring with the Ageless Style Link Up
I love stripes and have multiple striped tops in my closet, so when Joanne suggested stripes for our April Ageless Style post, it was a matter of choosing which top I wanted to highlight. This is probably my oldest striped top in my closet and if I look closely at it, it is starting to show signs of wear and it is pilling some. However the stripe is thinner and the back has a pretty scoop, so I have not been able to part with it yet. But after washing it once more, it was time: this is its swan song! I remember wearing it in France in 2019 and…

Maxi Skirts in Cold Weather with the Ageless Style Link Up
It is always interesting to see what theme is going to be suggested for our Ageless Style monthly post. I wouldn’t have thought of maxi skirts for winter, but it is a theme that gets us creative and I thoroughly enjoyed wearing this outfit on a bright cold Sunday morning. When wearing a skirt in the winter, you need to think about what to make sure you are warm and I was not cold at all. I picked up this maxi skirt at Belk in the clearance section: I love the print and color and it even has pockets! It is very flowy and not too light for a winter…

Denim with the Ageless Style Link Up
When denim was suggested for our theme for January, I knew I could come up with all kinds of outfits. I decided to share an outfit with skinny jeans because supposedly they are not in style anymore and I feel they are still relevant. Do I wear straight jeans, wide leg jeans, bootcut jeans? Of course, I do, but I still enjoy wearing my skinny jeans once or twice a week. As soon as fall cools off and winter comes around, you will see me wearing all of my denim. While I often wear my skinny jeans with combat boots or riding boots, on this day, I paired them with…

Layer it Up with the Ageless Style Link Up
It was my turn to choose a theme for our monthly style link up and I chose a versatile theme that would work to matter where you lived in the US as layers can be as heavy as a park or as light as a cotton button down shirt. For myself, I chose a piece I haven’t shared on the blog yet, a long sleeveless vest I found on clearance this summer at TJMaxx. I was drawn to this vest for two reasons: the neutral tan color and the uniqueness of the vest. I did not have anything similar in my closet, it could provide warmth on a cold…

Southwestern Inspired Outfit
Leslie, who live in El Paso came up with our theme this month and I was excited to see what I could come up with. I had just purchased a pair of light yellow denim pants on sale from Jjill and headed to Pinterest for some inspiration. I then looked through my closet to put together today’s outfit. In real life, I probably would exchange the denim dress for my black denim shirt, but otherwise I really love this outfit! I first want to share my turquoise jewelry! I wanted my grandmother’s necklace to pop so I chose my black tank to showcase it. My earrings were gifted from brand…

Styling Denim for Summer with the Ageless Style Link Up
Today’s outfit started with this cute pair of earrings which I received as part of a giveaway hosted by Scrub Studio Soaps and SG Sparkles. The set of honeycomb and bee mismatched earrings is so fun and made me think of my French striped top right away. I then thought of my denim skirt which fit perfectly for the today’s theme for the Ageless style link up so here is my denim for summer look! Since I do not wear jeans in the summer (it is too hot and humid for denim pants), I either wear my denim shorts or my denim skirts in the warm months. This denim skirt…

One and Done with the Ageless Link Up
Joanne suggested the theme one and done for July: this could be a dress, a jumpsuit or a romper. Since I had not shared this cute little thrifted mini dress yet, I thought this month’s link-up would be the perfect opportunity. I found this dress on a thrifting trip with my friend in Chattanooga. They actually had it in her size too, but she chose not to buy it. Since the length is really short, I added a pair of thin white biker shorts to make it more modest. The advantage to a one and done piece of clothing is that you do not have to worry about adding a…

Inspired by a Movie Character with the Ageless Style Link Up
When Bo chose this theme, I searched the internet for different ideas. At first, I thought of coastal chic and Diane Keaton but then I came across this picture of Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing and decided it would be an easy outfit to replicate from my closet. This outfit uses basics most of us have in our closets, white sneakers, belt, denim shorts and tank tops so anyone can create it. Of course, short length might change as well as the style of tank top. I knew I could take the pictures on a nearby bridge, so as soon as I got back from vacation, we went out to…

Floral Dresses with the Ageless Style Link Up
It has been a lot of fun wearing all of my thrifted dress the past few months. Dresses are great as a standalone and on cooler days, and look cute with denim jackets or blazers. I really scored at the end of winter with my dress search. Finding dresses on Amazon has never worked for me (and I really try not to buy clothes from them as who knows where returns go), and what is in store is often not my style or not in my price range. When looking for a dress, the fit is what does it for me: I will not wear an empire waist dress, so…

Styling a White Top with the Ageless Style Link Up
I actually styled this same shirt last year for the Ageless Style Link Up (where we share that style is ageless!) in an all white look in this post! It is actually one of my favorite photo shoots with that fun umbrella. I also wore it for a summer post with a camo mini skirt and a borrowed pair of pants here. It was an Amazon find a few years ago and I love how airy it is and how easy it is to style. I also have it in light pink and have worn it for the blog too. Since this Billabong skirt has a very high slit, I…
