7 Days Of Skirt Challenge Fall 2024
When Gail from Is this Mutton reached out again to ask me to participate in her 7 Days of Skirt Challenge, I of course said yes! I love having the opportunity to wear my skirts and to wear them in new ways. I didn’t want to share the same ones as last year (the denim one does make its reappearance) and it turns out that most of these outfits were inspired by others so I share the inspiration pictures too! Leopard Maxi I have had this leopard maxi for years and of course had paired it with a black top before, but never had added a cream topper to it:…

Favorite Early Fall Outfits
I post most of my daily outfits on Instagram and occasionally like to share some favorites here on the blog. Most times I manage to find a new way to wear each pieces so they are few repeated outfits. You might see the same shoes chosen to be worn with pants (I love that snakeskin sneaker with the camo pants for example), but I then try to chose a different top. Of course, there is nothing wrong with repeating an exact outfit, but I love to challenge of changing it up a little. Olive One of my favorites from fall is olive and the camo skinnies have been a favorite…

Impractical, but Oh so Fun: Boho Whimsical Sweater
When I am thrifting, my eyes are always drawn to items that have a bohemian element to them. I recently shared a fun tee with crochet sleeves I thrifted this summer and a week or two after that I found this pretty top in an antique booth in a shop downtown. I had already seen it on a previous visit, but as that lady was closing her booth, it was discounted even more and I just had to try it on! The brand is Gimmicks and as I looked at their website, I saw that they have many items that would appeal to me! While I know the sleeves are…

Bright Dress with Blazer Inspired by Laura (IdoDeclaire)
At the beginning of September, Laura shared a floral dress and how she would transition it for fall in this post. The fuschia and pink colors in her dress made me think of this thrifted dress of mine and her liquid leather jacket from Clara Sunwoo made me think of my thrifted blazer. So that is how this outfit was born! I didn’t really think about how both pieces were thrifted until I wrote this post. That is the beauty of buying versatile pieces and of taking notes when you see someone wear a combo that looks fun. I quite often take screen shots of an outfit while browsing my…

Denim Dress for Date Night
When I thrifted this dress this summer, I liked several things about it: the fit (as long as I don’t eat a big meal before) and the versatility of it: the zipper is functional and unzips completed which means it will be perfect as a long fitted denim jacket. I will be sharing a look with it as a jacket next month, so stay tuned. Because the dress is very fitted, I probably will wear it the most as a jacket, but I like the opportunity to style it this way too. I actually used to have another denim dress (that I had won in a giveaway), but because it…

An Awesome Thrifty Outing
I cannot believe it took me 6 years to visit the Park Ave Thrift store in my town! Maybe it is a good thing since I was very impressed with the clothes selection and had to limit myself to which categories to browse. My friend and I decided to get together last Friday and spend the morning together. We hiked, thrifted and had lunch together. We have known each other for about 20 years as she was my student teacher before getting hired at the school I worked at. She was hired to work on my 3rd grade team. We have been friends ever since! I found several things new…

Cozy October with the Ageless Style Link Up
Cozy October… That is the theme for the Ageless Style Link Up this month and while I dream of warm layers, I still have to take into account how the temperatures change throughout the day in Georgia in early fall. So yes, I can do some layers, but they have to be light layers and they have to be strategic. I love a sweatshirt with a pair of shorts and that is one way to be cozy in the cool mornings and evenings. I love my morning coffee on the porch and as it cools off, I start bringing a blanket out. This one is the softest I have and…

More Outfit Inspiration with White Western Boots
When I bought these boots (Jodie found them for me), I wasn’t sure how I would wear them, but I knew they would make for some fun outfits! I turned to Pinterest for some inspiration and now, I feel like the possibilities are endless. The style really works well with everything in my closet and the contrast is really pretty with denim and patterns. I will add the pictures from my last posts and links at the end of this post. The fun thing about fall is that you can mix summer pieces with fall pieces: in this case, instead of wearing sandals, I am wearing boots. If the weather…

Another Late Fall Outfit with Olive
I wasn’t planning to share this simple late fall outfit, but my boys really wanted to take pictures for me when we visited Lookout Mountain and Rock City (Chattanooga, TN), so I obliged. There were so many cool spots to take pictures that I got a lot of pictures of them too. I will be sharing more about Rock City in a few weeks. Since the temperature was going to be in the 80s that day, I decided to wear a pair of shorts. It was overcast thankfully so it actually was pretty enjoyable. I bought these Puma sneakers last year to wear in Costa Rica and I love that…

Monochromatic Beige for Fall
One of the things that I like about the change of seasons and the change in temperatures is how your closet because once again a playground full of “new” things! If you have somewhat defined seasons where you live, you might be putting away some of your clothes for part of the year, so when you switch out your clothes, they feel new once again. Both of these pieces here actually stay out year round (the sweater for cooler nights), but I haven’t worn them together yet. Since I live in Georgia, I can wear sandals at least through most of October even if I don’t often choose to. You…
