I am pleased to co-host Thursday Moda with Ada from Elegance and Mommyhood one more time. Thanks, Ada! You can see our posts featuring cobalt blue last week here and here. I have been revamping my wardrobe in 2020 donating things that did not fit well, that did not bring joy (I don’t want to force myself to wear something) or that were worn out. My summer and spring wardrobe are really in no need of anything so I am going to take a day at a time, a week at a time and see if I can stick to a goal I made in this area till the end…

A couple of weeks ago, Lisa from Coast to Coast featured a cute travel look that showed me one more way I could wear my jumpsuit. I haven’t worn my jumpsuit much as I do not feel like it is the most flattering piece of clothing in my closet but I cannot deny how comfortable it is. Lisa’s look was easy to replicate as I have a light colored denim jacket in my closet as well as leopard wedges. Whenever I find a look I can copy by shopping my closet, I get excited: I have been bitten by the shopping bug these past few months, and I am kind…

First of all, I want to thank Ada for asking me to co-host Thursday Moda with her. Ada is mom to cute little Vivian and I have enjoyed reading her blog and following her on Instagram for a couple of years now. I think some of my favorite of her posts are her mommy and me outfits: since I have 4 boys, I do not really match very often with my boys (sometimes we do with camo or certain color themes) and I love all of the cute little outfits they put together. Vivian is a little fashionista herself and Ada often shares her school outfits. Ada is also passionate…

Growing up, I was wore skirts every day. I do not think it bothered me much until I was in middle school. I looked different than the other kids at school especially when I went to high school and as a teen, I wanted to fit in. High school was a private school both in France and Mexico City so the children wore brand name and wore the latest fashion. I still had my group of friends but I really wanted to fit in more with the general population. As I became independent and lived on my own, I started wearing a variety of clothes including pants, shorts and still…

What to do when you need inspiration for a blog post? Turn to your fellow bloggers and take inspiration from them. When I came accross this look of Jess, my first thought was: oh, I can totally copy this outfit! Jess always looks stylish whether she is wearing one of her many skirts or dresses or whether she is rocking a jean and graphic tee look. I really love it when I can replicate someone’s outfit by shopping my closet and not succumbing to the shopping bug. I had grandiose ideas of really reducing my clothes shopping this year and while I do not regret any of my purchases (I…

What constitutes a favorite look? Something new and unexpected shopped mostly from my closet, something I felt good in and looked good in pictures too (one doesn’t always translates into the other, lol). Color for some days and neutrals for others, variety I think for me is the key. I like to come up with new outfits either by looking at my closet or by finding inspiration from another blogger. Today, I am taking a look back at my favorite outfits from the last two months. I featured these white beach pants in the last couple of posts and this shows you again how versatile they are. I really prefer…

Big thanks to my son for taking my pictures on Sunday! I wanted to write this post as a follow up to last Monday’s which meant taking pictures on Sunday and it was really sunny. So we took to the front of our house for our pictures to find some decent shade and backgrounds. No fun outing since we were still recouping from our 3 hours on the river on Saturday. You wouldn’t think that floating down the river would be exhausting but even with hats, the sun sure was beating on us. We did have a great time though and added two 1 person rafts to our arsenal so…

I have an old pair of white linen pants that I call my beach pants because they make me want to go to the beach, put my feet in the sand and relax. I bought them at Target years ago and while they are not pristine white anymore, they still look good and are very comfortable. Wanting to create new outfits from things in my closet, I did a little search on PInterest and found 3 outfits that I could easily copy. Here is the first one and the source is elleapparelblog.com White pants? Check. Cognac sandals and tote? Check. Stripe tee and denim jacket? Check. Cap? Not a plain…

Well, I haven’t done too well with my slowing down on my shopping lately but at least I am trying to include some small business/substainable fashion in it! This past week Meg from @pixieandcurls on Instagram was sharing some pictures of some finds she was going to post on her Poshmark account and I decided to do a little shopping. It would both help her and my closet! Here are 3 of the items I purchased (there is a pink/purple denim jacket that I  gifted to a tween and a cute little yellow bucket purse that might make an Instagram appearance at some point. Fun, Fun, Fun Bando Tee This…

If you are traveling or if you have a small wardrobe, accessories can be a game changer. They can transform an outfit by a switch of a shoe or an earring or by their addition such as a scarf or a necklace. They can be more economical than adding a blouse or a pair of pants to your closet and if you are traveling they do not take much space (apart from shoes). Now the earrings I am sharing are not economical as Nickel and Suede earrings run usually around $25 to $32 but I love them so much that I have collected a dozen pairs over the past few…
