Summer 2026: A Week of Skirts
Once more, I decided to shop my closet with a category in mind to create some outfits following a theme, in this case: skirts! While not as cool as flowy dresses (I’ll be sharing some favorites soon), I do prefer skirts over flowy pants when it is really hot. Since I have a great collection, I thought it would be fun to try to find some new combos once more. With a variety of tops in my closet, the possibility for new outfits is almost endless. I wore this for Chik-fil-A cow appreciation day and added some cow spots to get a free chicken sandwich. It was fun to already…

Dress over Pants: 3 Inspiration Ideas
I love being inspired by other bloggers: yes, I have worn dresses over pants before, usually jeans, however after seeing both Shelbee and Marsha shared spring/summer outfits pairing loose dresses over linen pants, I thought I should try. Of course, I chose to do this during one of the warmest weeks we had here in Georgia, but I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable I was. I really enjoyed wearing my linen pants under my dresses so I could move around with ease. Here are my inspiration pictures! Shelbee has several other similar ideas she shared on her blog with more color including this one outfit she calls “bohemian fruit…

Thrifted Gauze Dress
I started the month of July by planning to have a very budget friendly month in as much as I could with a couple trips already planned. I decided to track daily what I spent whether it was thrifting, buying something on Amazon or something for the house. I already track grocery shopping, bills and my general spending, but I wanted to write it keep a visual daily spending tracker. My first purchases were on the 1st of the month with a quick trip to Park Ave Thrift and I spent less than 10 dollars, for this dress, the purse and a pretty top. I’ve already worn the dress several…

Stripes with White
I thrifted this dress for $2 at the end of the school year, knowing I could wear it any day on its own, but could also layer with it. Today, I am only sharing it with white, but it will be soon on the blog with brights! The first thing that caught my eye was the brown stripes followed by the material which is a cotton blend. I like that the straps are not spaghetti straps even though I usually wear a strapless bra with it. Sadly, it does not have pockets, but the fit and feel is so perfect for summer, so that I don’t mind. These sandals have…

Double Denim for Summer
When I decided to create a new double denim outfit, I knew I wanted to pair light denim with dark denim again as I did earlier in the spring. Of course, I pulled the same skirt out first, but then realized I wanted to share something different. Back to my closet I went looking for contrasting denim and I found 2 Old Navy pieces. And that is how this outfit was born! While the top is a bit thick and warm for the hottest part of summer, this outfit might work in certain states on cooler summer days and would definitely be a great outfit for the fall! I really…

Inspired by a Pair of Earrings: Colorful Combo
Sometimes, the idea for an outfit starts with a piece of clothing or a shoe, and other times it starts with an accessory such as this beaded pair of earrings. I bought a couple pairs of beaded earrings on our family vacation to Colorado and this colorful pair was the starting point of the outfit I am sharing today. Just like with my outfit a few weeks ago with my white skirt and colorful top (here), I have had both of these pieces in my closet for a while, but have never paired them together. The color combo (yellow, green and orange) is an interesting one but it works surprisingly…

Summer Layering with the Ageless Style Link Up
There is something about wearing an outfit and feeling really good about it: not only the comfort, but the creativity and style! I threw this together last minute because I wanted to wear something different than just a dress and accessories. This is the type of layering that I can handle in the summer: it’s fun and it is not too hot. It also helped that I was wearing it in church which is kept fairly cool. I know it is just clothes, but an outfit that boosts your mood is worthy of a mention. So, on my way home, when Jodie asked me what my theme was going to…

Thrifted Striped Dress
Today, I am sharing a simple thrifted dress I have enjoyed wearing the past couple of months. I have found myself reaching for dresses more this summer, so I have been browsing the dress section when I stop by the thrift store. Do I need more dresses in my closet? Probably not, but since I haven’t been reaching as much for some of mine, I decided to add a few. I finally realized that the dresses I have been thrifting have more of a relaxed fit and they have been either gauze, linen or a cotton blend. When it is warm, wearing something that is looser on your body makes…

Wedding Attire with Tulle Dress
A fresh haircut! I always feel so stylish the day of my haircut! It had been almost 4 month and knowing that my friend was going out of town for a month, I texted her to see when she could get me in! With a fresh haircut, I wanted to take advantage of taking some pictures with an outfit I am planning to wear to a wedding this September. This is one of two weddings I will be attending, and while the other one’s outfit is going to take more thought (I am the sponsor which means I will be standing behind the bride the whole wedding), this idea came…
