One of the things I would like to focus this year is sharing ways to wear one item. It may be an item that was an investment piece, a thrifted item, a statement item or a classic piece like a little black dress. I have this dress in black and purple and I will share a couple ways at the end of this post with the purple dress to show you that a classic timeless dress does not have to be a neutral to be versatile. My sister in law handed down both of these dresses to me last year and I had forgotten how well they fit and how…

Some months, I recap my favorite outfits of the month in one or two posts and sometimes I forget. I haven’t done that in a while, so I decided I would look back at my outfits for the last two months and decide which outfits I liked best. I will say that having a good hair day also influences which outfits made the cut! I ended up with 10 outfits with two of them being from our beach trip at Thanksgiving. Grey Monochromatic Look Love every piece in this outfit and wore it again on New Year’s Day! I have worn these booties so much more than I expected. Snakeskin…

I am not the only one who was attracted to this simple but special beige sweater dress from Target. Both Lisa from Coast to Coast and Darlene from Aquamarina Style styled them in a blog post (here and here). The dress appears to be out of stock online but you may find it in store. I love that the dress can be worn with or without a belt, it is not too fitted but not boxy either. My friend and I went Christmas shopping a week ago in Marietta and I knew the square would be decorated and would be a festive background for some pictures. I chose brown accents…

This is not the first time that Lisa has inspired an outfit of mine. When I read her post about neutrals for fall I knew I wanted to copy her outfit but of course I did forget to add a belt: that is what happens when you do not double check the pictures that inspire you! Here is the post when I copied one of Lisa’s outfit a few months back. I always have to watch myself when she shares some of her finds because we have similar taste. She could easily break my budget! If you haven’t visited her blog, go on over and leave her a comment! She…

We just got back from a week at the beach spending Thanksgiving together relaxing and enjoying the outdoors (as well as the indoors) since it was a beautiful sunny week. We decided to keep on with our last few years’ tradition of spending Thanksgiving at the beach albeit by ourselves this year and I have no regrets! It was good to get away and we all enjoyed a week of no worries. Today I am sharing my week’s outfits. The lows were in the mid 60s and the highs in the mid 70s. This was my traveling outfit minus the flip flops and I left my plaid shirt at the…

Well, it is not often that I wear a new head to toe outfit but this is one of them! I am hoping to wear this with a few adaptations at the beach (booties and maybe a tee) for Thanksgiving but really love the idea of this for a holiday. I think this outfit would be great for Christmas in the south or any family gatherings in the next month or so. I took advantage of my son’s orthodontist appointment day and had him do a little photo shoot for me by this cotton field. I had been passing it by and it looked near its peak so we took…

Have you “met” Stacey from Mama Loves Shopping? Stacey lives in Ohio and used to be a teacher. I discovered her on Instagram a little while back and she is one of my favorite person to follow there! She is so fun and down to earth, shares great deals from Target, Walmart and Amazon and will make you laugh everyday. She is a mom of 3 and I love her casual style. When I saw this outfit, I screenshot Stacey’s story because I knew I could recreate it with similar items from my closet. Sometimes, when you see another blogger or person wear something, you want to buy that item.…

A style I did not think I would be attracted to are combat boots but turns out I love them! These boots are versatile and fun and I am looking forward to wearing them all fall and winter. Today I am joining Ada from Elegance and Mommyhood for Thursday Moda in styling our combat boots. Do you own a pair? I love that we have very different outfits this time! Both colorful but different! Combat Boots I like the edge that the combat boots give to an outfit but by choosing the taupe suede pair, they still are fairly feminine.I paired them with leggings and a tunic for this outfit…

A couple weeks ago while browsing at Target (always a bad idea for one’s wallet), I saw this dress on the clearance rack. The color really appealed to me and when I saw the size XS, I decided to take it home and try it. I know that I can usually fit in an XS in the Knox Rose brand and I knew that I could make it work year round. I was pleased to find that it fit! It was a windy day after church and we decided to stop in the parking lot of the French bakery (Douceur de France) to take some pictures. The dress has pretty…
