Scarves: Inspiration for Winter to Spring
Jodie (from jtouchofstyle) reached out to me a couple of weeks ago suggesting a joint scarf challenge. Since I am always up for a clothes challenge, I readily agreed! Then it was time to get creative with scarves as I knew she would have all kinds of fun ways to wear her scarves and I didn’t want to just wear my scarves in the most obvious manner. Of course, you cannot always come up with something new and sometimes simplicity is just what you need as the first two outfit prove. Here is Jodie’s week recap: head to there to get some more inspiration! Since our weather can change 30…

Clara Sun Woo: A Versatile Jumpsuit for Spring
Clara Sun Woo is a mother and daughter design team based out of New York. Their clothing collection is very comfortable and made of a soft stretch knit fabric that is easy to wear everyday and is exceptional for traveling (here is a timeline of their story). I was approached for an Instagram collaboration but really wanted to share this beautiful jumpsuit on my blog too as it is truly going to be something I will wear often this summer. The first thing that caught my eye when browsing was the halter style of the Grecian Halter Pocket Jumpsuit. I find halter tops very flattering and the back of this…

7 Day of Skirts: Transitioning from Winter to Spring
As spring approaches, I am once more excited to wear skirts and things I have not reached for in the past few months. Our weather in Georgia is still all over the place with many pretty days but also cooler rainy days. So I am not really wearing just my spring skirts as much as the ones that I think transition from one season to the other. I am not ready for sandals yet, so what you will notice is that many of these skirts are paired with sneakers which are my shoe of choice right now. I wanted to wear this thrifted sweater skirt one more time before I…

Dots and Spots with the Ageless Style Link Up
Welcome back to the Ageless Style Link Up! This month, it was my turn to choose the theme and since not everyone is having spring like weather like we have had in Georgia, I decided to choose a theme that would work for everyone. Spots (cheetah, leopard..) and dots fit the bill. I decided to share once again the thrifted polka dot blazer Jodie found for me a few months back because it is so soft and comfortable. I really like the length of the sleeves since I tend to fold up jacket sleeves unless I am cold. I have found I like fitted blazers the best so this one…

Thrifted Boho Outfit for $40
I enjoyed sharing my thrifted outfit for $25 last month (remember the snakeskin pants outfit here?) so much that I decided to write a similar post this month. I bought this American Eagle dress at Uptown Cheapskate for $17 and decided to see how I could create a head to toe thrifted outfit from my closet. I absolutely love this dress: the colors are pretty, the crochet details and tassel add interest, and the dress has a beautiful flow. I wear my readers all the time and didn’t even realize I was wearing them until I got home. Oops! The little purse was a thrifted find in Chattanooga for $3…

7 days of Dresses: 2nd Winter Edition
As spring nears, I become bored with wearing jeans and sweaters and get excited once again to wear dresses. Our weather in Georgia has mostly been mild this winter but I haven’t worn dresses that very often. So I decided to wear dresses for a week once again as I had in this post earlier this winter and here are the outfits I enjoyed wearing this go around. Once again, I am sharing some friends who joined in, of course including Jodie once again more as well as Cathie, Grace and Debi. Spring/Summer Dresses My favorite dresses are probably my maxi dresses. Both of these are thrifted and I really…

Prints for the March Sunday Showcase
Spring is in the air! I wanted to share some pretty prints that would give a nod to spring but would still be appropriate for the end of winter. While thrifting a week in February, I came across this Zara dress new with tags. I was attracted by the large blue print against the cream background and while I knew it would be too short to wear as a dress, I could envision it as a tunic or a jacket. I was correct: after trying it on, I found out it was a winner. The dress has buttons and a tie at the waist which really makes it versatile. My…

Winter Break Outfits: Sweatshirts and Jackets
It was fun to plan a comfortable but stylish winter break wardrobe! I packed a little more than what I wore but that gave me some options. I typically pack more when we drive versus when we fly. Of course, I looked at the forecast first and since we were planning to go snow tubing, I planned accordingly. These outfits feature sweatshirts and jackets! Sweatshirts A thrifted tunic length sweatshirt worked great for my traveling outfit. I drove the 5 1/2 hour drive so my husband could get some work done on the way to North Carolina. I did throw out these thrifted boots after the trip as they were…

Thrifted Outfit Head to Toe for less than $25
When I put this outfit together, I realized that it was thrifted head to toe. Who says you cannot dress on trend on a budget? After most of January shopping my closet, the temptation to shop with some gift cash was too strong and feeling a little moody the last week of that month, I went on some thrifting adventures. I did purge and sold a few pieces that I hadn’t worn in the last 2 years, so my closet reflects more who I am now. The 2 new thrifted pieces in this outfit are the pants and top. Both were found at the consignment store, Uptown Cheapskate, the top…

Kindness with the Ageless Style Link Up
I always enjoy seeing what theme my Ageless Style friends and I are going to share with you! This month’s theme was kindness and what better way to style it than to choose my Be Kind sweatshirt! I shopped my closet and took advantage of our vacation in North Carolina this past weekend to take some pictures. I wore sweatshirts every day and have curated a comfy, but stylish collection over the years. This particular one is several years old and an Amazon find. I often wear it when running, but occasional wear it for a casual outfit. I don’t like feeling sloppy or frumpy so I chose to pair…
