After sharing some scarf around the waist outfits last month (here), I was inspired to take advantage of the fall weather to wear more of my scarves. Fall and spring seem to be the seasons when I reach the most of these lightweight scarves, and this year I have been drawn to square scarves and all of the ways they can be styled. Most of my inspiration has been from Instagram and I saved a few videos as some ideas are a little more complicated than others. Most of my scarves were thrifted for as little as 50c to a few dollars. When a necklace might fail me, a scarf…

Sometimes writing a blog post is a dress up session for future outfits, and there have been several of these types of posts this month. I am planning to take this outfit for a date night at the beach at the end of the month, but I might change my shoe choice depending on the forecast. Tall boots might be a little warm! I found the inspiration for this outfit on IG and yes, I have shared several outfits seen on IG this month. I instantly knew what to pair together to replicate this outfit and I love that the scarf hides my middle section! I did not knot the…

One of my favorite things about the arrival of fall and cooler weather is to get back to wearing some of my favorite denim jeans. Most of my jeans right now are thrifted, but a few I have bought in boutiques. With the trend of wearing different cuts of denim (I still haven’t tried a pair of barrel jeans), I have diversified my collection with wide leg jeans, straight jeans, etc. Today I am sharing my 3 pairs of embroidered jeans and how I typically style them. It it was colder, I would be pairing them with boots and sweaters. These outfits are fairly simply and play with textures through…

Last month, Jodie shared an Old Navy sale for a sequin skirt in her newsletter. While I am loving textured sweaters, pants and skirts, I really hadn’t been on the lookout for a sequin skirt. However, I was instantly intrigued and interested. The skirt came in 3 colors (cream, silver and light green) and was less than $30. After debating about it, I ordered it and it arrived surprisingly fast. My first impression was that I wasn’t sure about the sequins: they were clear over the shimmery cream sparkling skirt and I felt they looked a little cheap. I did like how the skirt swished when it moved and decided…

I don’t jump on the trend train by purchasing some new items, but I sometimes like to play with a trendy idea by shopping my closet. I ended up making my shopping break last about 40 days. It was not easy as there were weeks I was tempted to go thrifting. I don’t especially think this scarf belt trend is that great, but I have a number of thrifted scarf that I wanted to wear, so I went to Pinterest to get a few outfit ideas and I surprised myself by really liking these outfits. Scarf Belt with a Dress I created a simple combination with a plain dress: instead…

For our last Ageless Style Link Up, Bo shared different color combinations to wear with brown in her blog post. While I have worn brown before, it is not a color that I have much of, nor do I wear it often. I decided to use her post as a jumpstart on creating some brown and color outfits from my closet. She wore brown with red, with blue, light pink, leopard and purple. I chose 2 thrifted pieces from my closet as my brown items: a blazer and a faux leather skirt. Most of the ways I have worn brown before was with neutrals such as white, cream or black,…

I love getting more wear out of my closet and one fun way to transform your maxi skirts is to wear them as a dress. This works best if your maxi has an elastic waistband. You do not have to belt your maxi, however each time I have worn mine as a dress, I have added a belt to define the waist. Since I took these pictures at the end of September, it was still warm, so while I wanted to wear my boots, I settled on wearing my sandals to church. I am still sharing both outfits. Skirt with Boots I love my boots and my husband has hinted…
