Best of 2022 Blog Posts
I took a few minutes a couple weeks ago to look at my blog posts insights and to see which were my most visited posts of 2022. I always find this data interesting and I really had not looked at my numbers in quite a while. I found it difficult to navigate this year as it was pulling up some posts that were from 2020. What Shoes to Wear with a Denim Dress? In this post, I shared how any type of shoe can work with a denim dress. Yes, I had some favorites, but they all really worked well. 336 views White for Summer with the Ageless Style Link…

Tweed Mini Skirt Dressed Up
Once again, I didn’t realize how windy it was until my son and I arrived at the location for our photos. So my hair and earrings are a little wild in some of these pictures. I purchased this tweed mini in December on the clearance rack at Tjmaxx. I was attracted by the texture of the skirt and the two little buttons on the front pockets. December saw me finding many pieces with fun fabrics and texture. Since I do not have any tights (I need to remedy that at some point), I usually wear a pair of leggings under a short skirt if I want extra warmth and coverage.…

Shop my Closet: 13-26
I am sharing my shopping through my closet journey this month (see part 1 here) and have been fun creating unique to me outfits! I like the variety I have displayed here from the past 2 weeks! The nice thing about shopping my closet and constantly reevaluating what I have, is that what I do keep in my closet, I really like! This month, I have tried to include color and variety in most of my outfits as well as wearing some things I haven’t worn in a while. The outfit on the right is a prime example of that. I hadn’t worn those pants since October and the burgundy…

My Style in 5 Words
After reading KellyAnn’s (ThisBlondeShoppingBag) post about defining your style, I thought it would be fun to think about which 5 words came to my mind when I thought about my style. These are the first words that popped in my mind and I feel like they do define what I enjoy wearing and what is me! I used example of some of my favorite outfits of the past year to examplify what those words mean to me. And here is is the last post I wrote about my style is what in April 2020. Back then, I defined my signature style as being fun with a twist (still relevant), including…

Winter Cozy Outfit with Thrifted Sweater
Last month, I drove up to Chattanooga to visit my friend Rachel and thrift together. We stopped by 3 stores and I spent a total of $14. This Time and True sweater was $3 and I almost did not see since it was on a rack that I skipped because the items were size large. However when Rachel showed me the color (I love olive) and the cute embroidery (I love embroidery!), I decided to try it on. It’s definitely an oversized sweater on me but in a pleasant way and I am so glad I got it! My goal when thrifting (and shopping in general) is finding unique pieces…

Scrumptious Fabrics with the Ageless Style Link Up
The theme for this month was scrumptious fabrics… and this little shrug from Ross Dress for Less is just that! My boys love how soft it is, and I have worn it a couple of times this winter since I picked it up in December. As soon as I saw it on the rack, I knew it would be the perfect addition for my Goddaughter’s wedding next month. It provides both warmth and modesty for her church wedding especially that I plan to wear those sandals! I am happy that the dress’ sleeves are 3/4 length so they do not extend past the shrug’s sleeves. The puffed sleeves add a…

Button Down Sweater Dress 3 Ways
This year I am hoping to focus on sharing different ways to wear items new and old because we are more likely to be content with what we have when we realize how versatile our wardrobe can be. This would be a newer piece in my closet, I think I picked this Sweater Button Down Dress up the first week of December at Target and sadly it was not on sale. I justified paying full price for it because it is actually of great quality and can be worn so many ways. Today I am just sharing 3 different ways you could wear it, but I can also envision it…

Shop my Closet Outfits 1-12
My goal this month is to shop my closet as I have so much variety to choose from, it helps me be creative and it really helps my wallet. If I do purchase anything, it will be thrifted and spent from the cash I earned from selling a few things this month (I have made $50). Today, I am sharing my first 12 outfits of the month. You will see a lot of bright colors as I have been inspired by Jodie to use the hastag #brightcolorjanuary and come up with some colorful outfits to brighten my day. Dresses I don’t wear my berets very often, but I have been…

Winter Date Night Outfit
I took advantage of my son’s “sick” day a few weeks ago to take pictures of this outfit that I knew I would pack for an overnight date trip with my husband. After our trip to Costa Rica in October, I decided that I would try my hardest to plan regular fun dates/mini trips for us as we had such a great time on our anniversary trip. For this mini trip, I knew we would go out to dinner than maybe see the lights at the botanical gardens so I planned a nice warm coat to add over this outfit. I usually try to balance out my outfits where if…

12 Days of Wintry and Festive Outfits
I thought it would be fun to share some outfits that you could wear throughout December and January for family get togethers, parties and maybe even church depending on the outfit. These are all outfits I have worn in the past few weeks and I tried to add a festive touch with either accessories or colors. I also wanted to showcase a few friends since we all have different styles, so save/bookmark this post to look back at next year so you will be ready with lots of inspiration. Day 1 Party with a Velvet Bodysuit I found this pretty velvet bodysuit on clearance at Old Navy the day before…
