What to Wear to Visit a Winery
I will answer that that question right away: whatever you want! I have seen people wear very casual clothes to some being more dressed up as they celebrate an anniversary, a bridemaid luncheon or a date. Of course, I took the opportunity of this outing to put together a fall outfit and while I wasn’t sure if I would take blog outfit pictures, my 2 boys were more than eager to help out by earning a little money! Can I first tell you how much I love this newish kimono of mine? I shared it a couple of weeks in this post and bought it with a birthday giftcard from…

Inspired by… Fall Looks: October Sunday Showcase 2021 and Link Up
Welcome to the Sunday Showcase! Once again, Grace from Graceful Rags is joining me while Ada from Elegance and Mommyhood spends some time with family. She will be back for the November Showcase. This month’s theme is Fall Looks Inspired by! Today, I am showing how to transition a very summery piece of clothing (a white sundress) to a fall look and was inspired to put together this look by an outfit Jacqui from Mummabstylish shared in a post a couple of months ago. I love how my son is flexible about taking pictures. We can usually be done with blog pictures in 10 minutes or less so knowing that…

Cost per Wear: Finding Multiple Ways to Wear an Item
A while back, I created a spreadsheet to keep track of how many times I wore something but I didn’t keep it up for long. Even though I do not keep track of how many wears I wear something, I do make sure that if I spent more than I usually do on an item, that I wear it a lot and find ways to wear it for more than one season of the year. This is the case of these Dahlia pants from XCVI that I shared a couple of weeks ago. I bought them with birthday money and with a coupon but I still feel like I need…

Flower and Apple Picking in Ellijay, GA
While enjoying a weekend in Ellijay, GA with my family as well as my brother and his family, we decided to go apple picking at the orchard we usually visit, R&A Orchards. When we arrived we were told that there would be only one kind of apple to pick (there are usually 4 or 5 different ones you can pick) because a late frost in April had affected the trees and 60% of the future crop was lost. To offset some of the loss, the orchard created a U pick flower area with zinnias, wildflowers and earlier some sunflowers. We chose to pick two cups of flowers: you could fill…

Gem Colors for Fall with the Ageless Style Link Up
I had grand ideas of taking my pictures gem panning in Dahlonega (the boys love to go) but when it came down to it, I just wanted to get my pictures taken for this post. While I did come up with the theme this month (I figured it would be an easier one for all), I wasn’t completely inspired with my outfit. I really liked the top part but should have gone with more constrast with the bottoms. White jeans would have been really sharp but I just posted an outfit with white jeans last Friday and I thought about a skirt or black jeans but it would have been…

September Date Night Look
I have been trying to share some date night looks as I have been trying to go out more often (as in at least every other month) and spend some quality time with my husband. You got a sneak peek of this look on Wednesday in my post about our overnight stay at Amicalola Falls lodge as I actually wore this outfit for dinner. I typically shop my closet for date night or sometimes buy a new top which was the case this time. I found this cute top at Gabe’s for less than $8. I am not sure how long it will last but I will say that most…
