When I aim to shop my closet and not shop, I love to give myself a theme for getting dressed in the week and I also strive to wear my clothes in new combinations. All of these outfits, but the one with the star tee were new combos and it really did feel like I was shopping my closet. My goal was to wear denim pieces that were appropriate for early fall weather (cool in morning, still hot in the afternoons), and change up my color palette a little. I also wanted to hold off on wearing jeans till it cooled off, but wanted to make sure to wear my…

Do you have a favorite skirt length? A maxi typically is a full length skirt which reaches your ankles,  a midi skirt falls between the knee and the ankle (often at mid-calf) and a mini ends above your knee. Most of my skirts are maxis as I find them easier to move in and I love how they move when I walk. I have just a few midi skirts as I sometimes find it difficult to style (I have a hard time choosing shoes) and I typically wear my shorter skirts for date night if they are higher than above the knee. Today, however, I am sharing one of my…

If you have been reading my blog for a while or if you follow me on Instagram, by now you have realized that I enjoy thrifting and that I do find some great pieces for great prices. I wrote a post a couple years ago with some tips to thrift successfully (here) and if you search my website and search for thrifted/thrifting, you will find that many of my outfits feature a thrifted piece. I wanted to add a couple points to that post from a couple of years ago, so today, I am sharing how I have been thrifting this past year. Today’s outfit is an outfit I wore…

Do you own a pair of overalls? I thrifted this pair in Arizona this summer and a pair of shorts overalls at home and have been wanting to style these. Because it is still a little warm for thick more fitted jeans, I haven’t worn these yet apart for these pictures and my flight back from Arizona (with a tank). I decided to share 2 fall looks, one dressier and the other more casual. Dressy Denim Overall While these are not exactly the style I have been looking for (I would rather them be wide leg and a lighter denim), until I find the perfect pair, this pair will work!…

Since I haven’t worn my floral maxis much lately, I have been finding ways to wear them without layering a jacket over them. Last week, I shared how I added a cropped denim vest to add a little of an edgy vibe to one dress (here) and today, I am sharing another way to style a wrap floral dress. I still love these dresses, but I seem to wear them more in the fall and spring with either a sweater or a denim jacket over them and with boots. I love how this outfit turned out, and while you can’t see it in pictures, the way the dress flew while…

What fun 50th birthday celebrations! I shared a little about both in last week’s summer recap post. Today, I am sharing the dress I wore for the brunch celebration 2 of my running besties threw for me. The sunrise crew (our group of gals who run Saturdays at 6 AM) brought food and we enjoyed a delightful time around the table! I thrifted this lemon and orange print dress in Chattanooga earlier in September. It caught my friend Rachel’s eye and since it didn’t fit her, I decided to try it on. While I did not have the right attire under, I could imagine how it would look done right,…

My style has evolved over the years, I have gotten more confident about what I like to wear and am drawn to certain elements. A couple of years ago, I wrote a blog post describing my style as colorful, practical, boho, fun and textured (read the post here). I think that definitely still describes my style. I also like to add some edge to feminine outfits and not have them be too sweet. Because of this, I haven’t worn my floral maxi dresses much: on their own, they are very feminine and I just want something with a little more oomph and interest! So this week and next, I will…
