Shop my Closet: 13-26
I am sharing my shopping through my closet journey this month (see part 1 here) and have been fun creating unique to me outfits! I like the variety I have displayed here from the past 2 weeks! The nice thing about shopping my closet and constantly reevaluating what I have, is that what I do keep in my closet, I really like! This month, I have tried to include color and variety in most of my outfits as well as wearing some things I haven’t worn in a while. The outfit on the right is a prime example of that. I hadn’t worn those pants since October and the burgundy…

My Style in 5 Words
After reading KellyAnn’s (ThisBlondeShoppingBag) post about defining your style, I thought it would be fun to think about which 5 words came to my mind when I thought about my style. These are the first words that popped in my mind and I feel like they do define what I enjoy wearing and what is me! I used example of some of my favorite outfits of the past year to examplify what those words mean to me. And here is is the last post I wrote about my style is what in April 2020. Back then, I defined my signature style as being fun with a twist (still relevant), including…

Shop my Closet Outfits 1-12
My goal this month is to shop my closet as I have so much variety to choose from, it helps me be creative and it really helps my wallet. If I do purchase anything, it will be thrifted and spent from the cash I earned from selling a few things this month (I have made $50). Today, I am sharing my first 12 outfits of the month. You will see a lot of bright colors as I have been inspired by Jodie to use the hastag #brightcolorjanuary and come up with some colorful outfits to brighten my day. Dresses I don’t wear my berets very often, but I have been…

Winter Date Night Outfit
I took advantage of my son’s “sick” day a few weeks ago to take pictures of this outfit that I knew I would pack for an overnight date trip with my husband. After our trip to Costa Rica in October, I decided that I would try my hardest to plan regular fun dates/mini trips for us as we had such a great time on our anniversary trip. For this mini trip, I knew we would go out to dinner than maybe see the lights at the botanical gardens so I planned a nice warm coat to add over this outfit. I usually try to balance out my outfits where if…

12 Days of Wintry and Festive Outfits
I thought it would be fun to share some outfits that you could wear throughout December and January for family get togethers, parties and maybe even church depending on the outfit. These are all outfits I have worn in the past few weeks and I tried to add a festive touch with either accessories or colors. I also wanted to showcase a few friends since we all have different styles, so save/bookmark this post to look back at next year so you will be ready with lots of inspiration. Day 1 Party with a Velvet Bodysuit I found this pretty velvet bodysuit on clearance at Old Navy the day before…

Wearing Dresses for Everyday- Fall/Winter Edition
I typically wear dresses in the spring and summer with denim jackets are on their own. However my closet has a number of dresses appropriate for cooler weather. Should I just wear them on Sundays? I decided to take some of them out of a spin in my daily routines and realized how comfortable and appropriate they are for any given day. Today I am sharing a variety of dresses as well as sharing Jodie (Jtouchofstyle.com) who often inspires me to think creatively with my wardrobe. I by no means am a minimalist when it comes to clothes but I do try to make sure that if something comes in…

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…

Mustard Dress 5 Ways
Happy Monday! I actually thought I had written this post when I realized Sunday evening that I had not. Thankfully, I had the pictures ready! For today’s photo shoot, I did not realize there was any wind until my son and I started taking pictures. The wind was really annoying and it really didn’t stop much. However, we trudged along and got it taken care of despite it being too sunny or too shady. I am sharing a new Target dress that I was influenced to buy by Melanie Miller when she shared it on Instagram. I knew the style would be versatile and I hoped the mustard color was…

Coastal Chic at the Beach in the Fall
I really liked all of the clothes and outfits I created for our beach trip (see my beach outfit recap post here) but thought that my Target linen pants deserved a post of their own. I originally picked these in white this summer but they were see through so I exchanged them for tan. I am so glad I did since I have many white pants but not tan ones. I wore these as a cover up (first 3 pictures) and then as an outfit. Tan Pants as a Cover Up I typically do not like to walk around in just my bathing so a pair of pull on wide…

Fall Beach Vacation Outfits
I wanted to share a recap from my outfits I wore last week while we were at the beach. We spent the first few days just enjoying some quiet time (I mostly read on the beach), and let the sand and the gulf entertain the children. While I think I will pack cozy leggings and sweatshirts outfits next go around, this year I created a little capsule wardrobe focusing on neutrals, stripes and rust. These are outfits I wore either all day or part of the day. The weather started cold the first day but it gradually warmed up till we had some gorgeous weather for a couple of days.…
