Do you remember my recent post where I featured a mustard skirt from Cato’s fashion? When I told my mom in law, I had come across a fun tulle skirt there, full price but affordable, she convinced me to return and try it on and buy it if it I liked how it looked. As you can tell by today’s blog post, it was a winner. I love the skirt and while I bought it thinking about the coming up holidays especially Christmas, I knew that the bright red would make it perfect year round. As soon as I brought it home, I went on Pinterest for some inspiration on…

Which colors come to mind when you think of fall colors? Rich hues come to my mind as well as darker colors such as olive or brown. There are some color combinations that I really enjoy and when I planned my outfits for our trip to the beach, I chose olive, burgundy and tan as my main colors. I thought they would be perfect for the season and a little different from what I packed last year. I shopped my closet for this look and I sure love it! These camo pants have been a favorite for fall for the past couple of years: the fit is on point and…

I will say I am guilty of packing cute outfits to the beach knowing that I will take a daily picture for a blog post. These are outfits I wore on our trip this past week, but some of them were only worn for half a day depending on our activity. When at the beach itself, I usually wear a bathing suit with my denim shorts over them or my cover up. Then when I return to the condo and we go on a little outing, I will change into an outfit that reflects what I like to wear on the daily. This was my traveling outfit: I only added…

After almost 2 months of refraining from buying clothes, I spent a week at the beginning of the month visiting 2 stores. I made a couple trips to TJmaxx (and only bought a sweatshirt) and several stops into Cato’s Fashion. I used to shop there often, but haven’t really much in the past few years, but it is always on my radar if I want to look for an article of clothing in a particular color. I was actually looking for things in burgundy or tan, but Cato’s often has some great things on clearance. I ended up going into the store 3 times in a 2 week span. The…

Every once in a while, I stumble upon an outfit shopped in my closet that I absolutely love! Today, I am sharing 5 such outfits I wore this past month. After 7 and 1/2 week of a shopping fast, I have purchased a few things in the past few weeks: I had some spending cash burning a hole in my pocket and found some fun pieces to add. However, these outfits I am sharing today are combining things that I have had for at least a few months to more than 6 years. Outfit details: thrifted sweater Target white jeans hand me down booties gifted snakeskin purse heirloom clock pendant…

I am still in love with this thrifted dress and continue to reach for it on Sundays. I wanted to wear it with my cowboy boots a few weeks ago and wanted to add a couple of different details from prior wears. It’s amazing how freeing it is to weed through your closet and donate items you do not love because then you want to wear all of your things. I have found that the case with my current dress selection, most of which have been thrifted. I have worn this dress without a belt (it has a true waist with tassel ties) and with belts. On this day, I…

Last month, my youngest had a field trip to the farm, the same field trip as the last year. The field was not very exciting: there were a lot of classes, a lot of waiting and it just wasn’t too exciting. It sounded like there was some miscommunication between the school and the original field trip destination so I guess, it will be the same farm field trip 3 years in a row! While we were there, we did enjoy seeing the animals, some play time and I took advantage of the location to have my 5 year old take some blog pictures for me. I was excited for the…
