September Sunday Showcase and Link UP: Unusual Color Combos
This month, I am introducing you to Grace from Graceful Rags (if you do not already know her) who is collaborating for this link up with me as Ada (Elegance and Mommyhood) is taking some time to spend with family this month. Grace is a fun college student who has been blogging since 2016! Grace has a great fashion style, a thrifty approach to clothes and is a fountain of inspiration. Here is a post where I copied one of her looks: Inspired by Grace. Today we are sharing unusual color combinations and I knew I wanted to wear my new to me Baik Baik Honululu pants I found…

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…

Inspired by Nancy’s Fashion Style: All Black Outfit
I do not wear monochromatic outfits enough and I often forget about neutrals in the summer. So after seeing this outfit of Nancy from Nancy’s Fashion Style, I decided it was time to write an Inspired by post. Nancy has a great fashion style and wears quite a few dresses and skirts. I wore this most of a day, for errands and doing things around the house. By afternoon, I did change as I knew I wanted to clean my very disgusting car and I would workout soon after. While Nancy accessorized with pink, I accessorized with yellow as I wanted to chose a pair of sandals similar in style…

Arizona Travel Outfits
I will be sharing some beautiful pictures from the scenery we came across in Scottsdale, AZ in my Wednesdays posts (I love cacti!) but for today, I wanted to share my daily outfits from our short weekend trip to Arizona. We went to Scottsdale to attend my brother’s wedding and to spend time with him and my new sister in law. I tried to pack ligthly but I did learn a few things from this trip as it was the first time we were visiting such a hot place. I typically wear joggers with a tee and sneakers when traveling but wanted to limit the number of shoes I brought…

Sports with the Ageless Style Link Up
This theme proposed by Jodie for Jtouchofstyle can be interpreted many ways. Since I do not typically share athletic wear on my blog, I thought this would be a fun departure from my usual style that I share with you usually. I am one of those people who just cannot spend big money on exercise clothes whose purpose it to sweat in but I will splurge on a good sports bra and a good pair of running shoes. I shared some of the things I do to try to keep in shape in this post but I also spent a couple years coaching 7 year old soccer and that is…

Camo Skinnies for a Date Night Look
I’ve been wanting to share these sand camo pants (another pair of Old Navy Pixie pants) for a little while and decided to put together another date night look. I plan to wear this one evening this month to go out with the hubby. I have worn this pair a couple of times during the day but will mostly wear them in the spring and fall I think. Too hot on most days for pants here! I paired them with this flowy high low blouse (similar) and since I am wearing my white one for the upcoming Fab 40s post, I chose my blush one. For me this is an…

Blue Dress for a Civil War Fort Tour
I originally planned to take pictures of this outfit on the beach but as things usually go on a vacation, plans change and I decided this would be an outfit that would be comfortable even for a tour of a fort. You will learn more about our visit to Old Fort Jackson this Wednesday so today will focus on my outfit! I ordered this dress in two colors from Target after seeing a couple bloggers share it (Andrea from Living On Cloud Nine has it in this blue color and Carrie from A Simple Lovely Life shared it in the peach) and kept the blue as I felt the peach…

Brights from Day to Night with the Ageless Style Link Up
After realizing that I really liked Old Navy’s pixie ankle pants, I went online and ordered 3 more pairs including this bright straight leg pair. I went for patterns, color and shape and it was nice to add a pair that was not skinny pants to my closet. These are both real life outfits which is what I usually share on my blog. Brights for Day I went really colorful with this outfit that I wore taking my oldest to the eye doctor at Target. We found this wall on the way back home and I left the car running so we could grab a few photos. I wouldn’t have…
