Target Plaid Pants: 5 Ways
I was totally influenced by Jodie (JtouchofStyle) and Cammi (CammiAllen) to buy these pull on plaid pants when they shared them on Instagram. At 20 dollars and a non skinny cut, I just had to have them. I first wore them to a visit to the aquarium and thought about taking blog pictures (I would have needed just a few more) but we were all tired and did not want to get stuck in Atlanta traffic on the way home. So I put together a post to show their versatility but I did learn from my experience: while I like variety and coming up with interesting outfits, I really like…

What to Wear to Visit a Winery
I will answer that that question right away: whatever you want! I have seen people wear very casual clothes to some being more dressed up as they celebrate an anniversary, a bridemaid luncheon or a date. Of course, I took the opportunity of this outing to put together a fall outfit and while I wasn’t sure if I would take blog outfit pictures, my 2 boys were more than eager to help out by earning a little money! Can I first tell you how much I love this newish kimono of mine? I shared it a couple of weeks in this post and bought it with a birthday giftcard from…

Inspired by… Fall Looks: October Sunday Showcase 2021 and Link Up
Welcome to the Sunday Showcase! Once again, Grace from Graceful Rags is joining me while Ada from Elegance and Mommyhood spends some time with family. She will be back for the November Showcase. This month’s theme is Fall Looks Inspired by! Today, I am showing how to transition a very summery piece of clothing (a white sundress) to a fall look and was inspired to put together this look by an outfit Jacqui from Mummabstylish shared in a post a couple of months ago. I love how my son is flexible about taking pictures. We can usually be done with blog pictures in 10 minutes or less so knowing that…

Camo Dress for $3
Attention getting title? A couple weeks ago, I received an email from Kohls with a $5 giftcard coupon for my birthday. I do not shop often at Kohls but if I do, I typically look at the clearance section. Coupon in hand, that is what I did: my goal was to find something interesting for a low price so I would not be much out of pocket. To my pleasant surprise, I found this cute shirt dress in the Juniors clearance section for $8. I wasn’t sure it would work as it was size small and I usually size up one or two in juniors but I tried it on…

Floral Pants: 5 Ways
It is quite easy to come up with 5 ways to wear something when it is a neutral or a solid color. Is it as easy when it is a pair of printed pants? I found that it was not difficult at all for me to come up with 5 different ways to wear one of my favorite pair of pants I bought this year: my Old Navy pixie ankle skinny pants. With Navy I shared this outfit in this May post after I bought the pants on clearance at Old Navy and I have been finding different ways to wear them ever since. With Yellow The pants have gold…

September Date Night Look
I have been trying to share some date night looks as I have been trying to go out more often (as in at least every other month) and spend some quality time with my husband. You got a sneak peek of this look on Wednesday in my post about our overnight stay at Amicalola Falls lodge as I actually wore this outfit for dinner. I typically shop my closet for date night or sometimes buy a new top which was the case this time. I found this cute top at Gabe’s for less than $8. I am not sure how long it will last but I will say that most…

A Few of my Favorite August Looks
Today I am sharing a few of my favorite outfits that I wore this past month. If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen most of these or will see the rest of them next week. I am a little behind with sharing my daily outfits as I share my blog post outfits too! I have worn less dresses this month apart from church days and I have been drawn to my pants on days I know I will not be outdoors. Pants I am missing my pants! So I pull them out every once in a while even though it is still the middle of summer weather!…

Skirts for a Week: Shopping my Closet
Last month, at the beginning of July, I decided to wear skirts that had been forsaken in the depths of my closet. Well, maybe they had not been forsaken, but I hadn’t really worn skirts much of June and July, focusing instead on dresses and shorts. I concentrated on wearing my favorite skirts and realized that just as dresses, they are really comfortable in the summer. This skirt was actually a new buy from a store called Gabe’s which I did not realized was in our little town until my sister in law pointed it out when visiting. It is similar to Ross and TJ Maxx and while I only…

Fab 40s: Inspired by Air
This month, the Fab 40s are sharing outfits inspired by air. I knew right away what I wanted to wear so I convinced my son to take pictures for me the same week I became part of the group. I also knew where I wanted to take my pictures, so on a Saturday morning at 9 am before it got too hot, we headed to the Indian Mounds to take my pictures. I borrowed my friend’s pants for the week as she was going out of town because their shape make me think of floating in air. I actually am on a mission to find a pair (these are Bcik…
