Spring Outfits Inspired by
Today, I am sharing several outfits/ladies that inspired me either on their blog or on Instagram. I think I have shared each of these ladies before and when I saw these outfits, I knew they could be recreated in my closet. The weather in the south in the spring really oscillates from cold to warm depending on the day and there could be a 30 degrees difference between the time you wake up and the afternoon. Inspired by Paula from Dimples on my What The color scheme of this outfit stuck with me when I saw Paula share a reel putting together this outfit on Instagram (here is her IG…

Outfit Inspiration with White Jacket: Colorful Jackets Part 4
I’ve always found a white denim jacket to be an easy piece to style. This thrifted one from a couple years ago replaced an older thrifted one that was starting to look grungy. I would say that my favorite way to wear a white topper like this is over a dress: to me it represents spring style at its best. I went to Pinterest to find some inspiration to create today’s outfit! One of the first outfits I saw had my name! And then since I haven’t been wearing my skinnies much, I decided to diy some rips in this pair! They would then be my edgy jeans! I still…

Fuzzy with the Ageless Style Link Up
It it always fun to see what the girls will chose for the month for our link up and today it is time to talk about fuzzy clothes. I love how clothes have different texture: smooth silk, soft velvet, fuzzy fur. I decided to share how I would transition a winter look with my thrifted fuzzy furry vest. Winter Look This first look I wore to church at the end of January. My thrifted white boots have been a pair of shoes that I reach for often: they are just plain fun to wear. The fleece lined tights kept me warm and of course, so did the vest. I don’t…

Outfit Inspiration with Polka Dot Jacket: Colorful Jacket Part 3
We have made it to the last installment of my series! Today, I am sharing outfits with my thrifted polka dot blazer, but of course, these can apply to any printed blazer. It is always fun to go back in time to style how I have styled something so I have really enjoyed this series. I also is a reminder of what I do enjoy wearing as the variety of outfits and how I still like them is a testament of some good buys. After looking at these outfits, I decided to pair my polka dot blazer and do a little print mixing! I was not feeling awesome when I…

Camo with Teal for Spring
I have had different camo pieces in my closet over the years, but I think my camo pants have been the most worn. Between this pair of camo jeans and a sand color pair, I have come up with numerous outfits. When my sister in law gave me this teal cardigan in January, I knew it would pair well with these pants. I guess camo can be considered a neutral: I don’t think any color won’t go with it. I have worn it with rust, yellow, pink, red… of course some color combination work better than others with my skin tone, but camo is really versatile. Now that it is…

Outfit Inspiration with Purple Jacket: Colorful Jacket Part 2
I have worn this thrifted purple blazer a lot! I love the 3/4 sleeves, the cropped and fitted cut and the pretty shade of purple. You can tell this is one of my favorite toppers as I have 6 pictures for extra inspiration! Again, since most of the outfits below have paired the blazer with dresses and skirts, I decided to pair it with pants, this time with my plaid pants! I wore this to a baby shower! I love my thrifted La Vie est Belle tee: the day I found it, I also found a C’est Bon tee in white! I had been looking for fitted tees with French…

Outfit Inspiration: a Week of Neutral Spring Outfits
I actually wore these outfits during a week of “false spring” the first week of February: this is when the weather tricks you into thinking that winter is over and it is sunny and 75 degrees! As I was still shopping my closet and it was warmer than it had been, I decided it would be fun to see how many “new” outfits I could come up with tan neutrals and a little denim thrown in. I really like the outfits I came up with and it made me realize once again how complete my wardrobe is. By the way, Jodie shared some neutral outfits and tips on Monday, so…

Outfit Inspiration with Blue Jacket: Colorful Jackets Part 1
This month, I decided to share outfit inspiration with some of the colorful jackets or blazers in my closet: most of the ideas will probably work with toppers of other colors in your closet. Hopefully, these posts will encourage you to put together some colorful outfits this spring. I really enjoyed tan and deeper colors this winter, but now I am ready to wear some color! I am sharing one new outfit for each of these as well as other ways I have worn the toppers in the past! I will feature a different jacket each Monday for the month of March. Since the 2 ways I have worn the…

Trench Vest: Another Winter Neutral Palette Outfit
It took me a bit to come up with the title of this blog post. I hadn’t originally planned to take blog pictures of this outfit, but I really liked it and I thought that after sharing the trench vest as a dress last week, it would be fun to show you how I wear it most of the time. I have paired it with a variety of tops and pants, even skirt and over dresses, but this classic monochromatic combo is one of my favorites. My friend Rachel whose book I shared last week gave me these fun mules. She had thrifted them, but decided that she really didn’t…

Mustard and Purple: a Favorite Color Combo
As I was planning my blog posts for the month of February and looking back at some blog posts where I shared dresses with sweaters, I came across this picture: my purple hand me down dress and my mustard accessories. It was inspiration for an outfit which I never wore nor photographed several years ago. Since I still had all the pieces, I decided it was time to wear the outfit! My sister in law gave me this dress and an identical one in black about 8 years ago: I usually wear it a few times a year and I enjoy seeing what I can pair with it. I recently…
