Build an Outfit: How to Create an Interesting Look
I sometimes put on just a cute sweater, pants and sneakers and call it a day but some days, I try to create a new outfit from my closet or decide to add extra interest to my look of the day. I am working on spending less and wearing more of what I have creating new outfits with the same pieces. Today, I wanted to share the creation of 3 outfits to show you my process. New Outfit with Blush top The outfit on the right is my first outfit: I had not worn my blush top at all this season and I wasn’t sure if it still had a…

Cowboy boots Winter Outfit
I have been trying to wear my cowboy boots at least once every season if not more as they are really a cool pair of footwear. This outfit really is meant to showcase the new to me Kyla Seo plaid shirt that I found on Poshmark the first week in February but the boots complimented the outfit so well and are such a statement that I titled my post with them. If you would like to see how I have styled them on the blog before, there is a summer outfit with them and another older post here. But back to my new shirt: I bought it NWT and got…

7 Days of Dresses: Winterizing your Dresses
For my 7 days of dresses challenge on Instagram, I shopped my closet and winterized them to fit the weather and my activities. Many times, I added a pair of leggings to shorter dresses especially if it was really cold and had fun adding different types of top layers to them. I may not be as creative as Jodie (she is sharing her post here today with her dresses styled for winter) but I am happy to say this was a fun challenge and I created some new to me outfits. Thanks to the ladies who tagged me on Instagram with their dress outfits and thank you, Jodie for joining…

Ponchos and Wraps with the Ageless Style Link Up
Since I have never devoted a whole post to this summer 2020 Loft Clearance find, I decided that this little poncho deserved some attention and it fit perfectly with our Ageless Style theme. I actually had a completely different outfit in mind with a different poncho but when I wore this one day at the end of January, I decided that we needed to take some blog pictures with it. I was comfortable and warm all day in it, wearing the scarf in the morning while it was in the 30s and shedding it when the temperatures hit the 50s. I’ve actually worn the poncho with stripes before as well…

Velvet Joggers: 5 ways
I am all about versatility in my closet so when I picked up these velvet joggers at Kohls before the holidays, I wanted to share that they do not need to be relegated to being worn one month of the year or for special occasions but they can be worn at any time. So today I am sharing a few dressy ways to wear them as well as some casual looks. Since I had to change after each picture, we took these pictures around the house instead of a pretty location. Frenchie One of my husband’s uncles has always called me Frenchie! And with this pretty tunic and my beret,…

5 Outfits Inspired by Others: Shopping my Closet
A couple of weeks ago, I was inpired to put together an outfit inspired by one of the other bloggers who participated in the 7 day skirt challenge Gail from Is this Mutton put together. After writing about an outfit post inspired by Jodie from Jodie Touch of Style, I had a few comments about how people really enjoyed my inspired by posts. So here you have 5 outfits that were inspired by pictures I saved on Instagram that I knew I could copy or create a similar version by just shopping my closet. When I saw Leslie from Once upon a Time and Happily Everafter wear her Old Navy…

Inspired by Jodie to Style my Yellow Plaid Cardigan 3 ways
A few months ago, Jodie (Jtouchofstyle) shared a yellow plaid cardigan from BelongUSAstyle that she paired with her camo pants. In her post, she shares 5 ways to style those pants but the yellow plaid cardigan really stuck in my mind. When it went on sale during the Christmas season I decided to order it in hopes that I would enjoy it as much as she did. I knew I could pair it with my camo jeans but that it probably would pair with many other things in my closet. With our mild winters (most of the time), I can wear it 3 season out of the year! Here is…

#7 day Skirt Challenge with Gail of Is this Mutton
Last time Gail (see her recap post here) suggested a 7 day skirt challenge it was during fall so I was happy to jump on the opportunity of challenging myself to wear skirts in winter for 7 days. I always wear a skirt or a dress at church and there were 3 church days during that 7 day stretch so I only had to push myself a little more to come up with some other outfits. It was great to winterize my skirts and to be creative. One of the things I discovered is that I really love skirts with boots. I do not think I have worn this hand…

Staying Warm with a Blanket Scarf
Since the Sunday Showcase link up is postponed till next Sunday, I decided to go ahead and my regular post on Sunday instead of Monday for those who might be looking for the link up and might be wondering. This is kind of weird to post this outfit as it is unseasonably warm this weekend with spring like weather in the upper 70s. I wasn’t planning to take pictures when we went to the Georgia Aquarium a couple of weeks ago but when we arrived and saw all of the pretty ornaments in the green in front of the aquarium and the Coca Cola building, I couldn’t pass up the…

Favorite Fall OOTD: Dresses and Skirts (Part 2)
I have to make more of a conscious effort to wear skirts and dresses in the cooler months but I usually wear them at least twice a week for church so I have enjoyed coming up with some layers to make all of mine weather appropriate. Fall and spring is when I wear my denim jackets the most. I really had fun making this light short sleeve camo dress appropriate for cooler weather. Since it looks like a tunic here, I am sharing it today. These are real leather boots and I can tell the difference between it and my Target boots and how those wear it or get marks…
