Scarves: Inspiration for Winter to Spring
Jodie (from jtouchofstyle) reached out to me a couple of weeks ago suggesting a joint scarf challenge. Since I am always up for a clothes challenge, I readily agreed! Then it was time to get creative with scarves as I knew she would have all kinds of fun ways to wear her scarves and I didn’t want to just wear my scarves in the most obvious manner. Of course, you cannot always come up with something new and sometimes simplicity is just what you need as the first two outfit prove. Here is Jodie’s week recap: head to there to get some more inspiration! Since our weather can change 30…

Dots and Spots with the Ageless Style Link Up
Welcome back to the Ageless Style Link Up! This month, it was my turn to choose the theme and since not everyone is having spring like weather like we have had in Georgia, I decided to choose a theme that would work for everyone. Spots (cheetah, leopard..) and dots fit the bill. I decided to share once again the thrifted polka dot blazer Jodie found for me a few months back because it is so soft and comfortable. I really like the length of the sleeves since I tend to fold up jacket sleeves unless I am cold. I have found I like fitted blazers the best so this one…

Kindness with the Ageless Style Link Up
I always enjoy seeing what theme my Ageless Style friends and I are going to share with you! This month’s theme was kindness and what better way to style it than to choose my Be Kind sweatshirt! I shopped my closet and took advantage of our vacation in North Carolina this past weekend to take some pictures. I wore sweatshirts every day and have curated a comfy, but stylish collection over the years. This particular one is several years old and an Amazon find. I often wear it when running, but occasional wear it for a casual outfit. I don’t like feeling sloppy or frumpy so I chose to pair…

Scrumptious Fabrics with the Ageless Style Link Up
The theme for this month was scrumptious fabrics… and this little shrug from Ross Dress for Less is just that! My boys love how soft it is, and I have worn it a couple of times this winter since I picked it up in December. As soon as I saw it on the rack, I knew it would be the perfect addition for my Goddaughter’s wedding next month. It provides both warmth and modesty for her church wedding especially that I plan to wear those sandals! I am happy that the dress’ sleeves are 3/4 length so they do not extend past the shrug’s sleeves. The puffed sleeves add a…

Styling Skinny Jeans with the Ageless Style Link Up
Jodie chose the prompt skinny jeans this month! While I now wearing a much wider variety of jean styles than I used to, I still really enjoy styling my skinny jeans. I like them with knee high boots and to show off shoes as I did in today’s outfit! I can see this look for a semi casual holiday gathering where you will be indoors. I am starting this post with the shoe because I really love this picture and these pretty heels from Target have a sentimental value for me since I wore them at my brother’s wedding and I felt really special in them. I do not wear…

Layering Essentials for Fall with the Ageless Style Link UP
I love planning ahead when I can and when Joanne from My Slice of Life choose our November theme as fall layers, I knew right away which layer I was going to feature in this post. Here in the South, it is all about layering in the fall. What are essential fall layers? Sometimes, you only need light layers, sometimes you need heavier layers. This Old Navy shacket comes in oatmeal and rust as well as in different plaid colors and is a great in between layer. Before purchasing it during one of Old Navy’s 50% sale, I went it store to see what color I would order as well…

What to Wear to a Fall Event with the Ageless Style Link Up
October’s theme was chosen by Cathy from My Side of 50 and was great theme where we could use our imagination: what to wear to a fall event. As a family, in the fall we enjoy going to festivals, apple orchards and pumpkin patches. Some years, we do all three, others none. This year, we have been busy with sports on the weekend so I am not sure we will have time to include any such activity. We are hoping to go to the apple orchard before the season ends though! For today’s pictures, my oldest and I went to a nearby cotton field, just a few minutes from the…

Fashion on a Budget with the Ageless Style Link Up
There is nothing like realizing the day before a post is supposed to be published that you wrote and took pictures for a theme one month down the road. Thankfully, my boys always welcome the opportunity to take blog pictures and earn money and I was able to come up with an idea quickly! Fashion on a budget is my motto and while I probably spend more money than I should on clothes, I pride myself on shopping 2nd hand when I can and on making smart buying decisions. Lately I have enjoyed consigment stores more than thrift stores in my area as they are smaller and often small business…

White for Summer with a Button Down Skirt with the Ageless Style Link Up
Today, I am sharing a fun little outfit I wore a few weeks ago on a little staycation in Marietta, GA. Not wanting to let a free hotel night to go to waste, I packed up 3 of my boys and we went to stay at the Marietta Conference Center. Before checking in, we enjoyed a little walk in the square, bribing the boys with ice cream as a reward for taking some blog pictures for me. We also stopped by a couple fun shops including a kids’ toy shop. Since Ada and I are sharing skirts this month, I decided to pair that theme (button down skirt) with our…

Sleeveless with the Ageless Style Link Up
I chose an appropriate and a very broad theme for our Ageless Style link up this June. Sleeveless can be a dress, a top, a vest, it can be spaghetti strap or a broad strap and with summer upon us, sleeveless might feel like a nice choice many days. I chose to share this cute little handkerchief top I found at the local Upscale Cheapskate consigment store. Since that first visit, I have gone back and picked up a few more items. I didn’t use to wear spaghetti straps tops nor halter tops until I found a strapless bra that I like. Mine is a Wacoal bra that I have…
