As Cream as Snow: a Cream Winter Monochromatic Look: January Sunday Showcase
Wouldn’t this have been a great outfit to shoot in the snow? Alas, when we took these pictures, the weather was chilly but still in the 50s after about a week of gloomy and rainy weather. I enlisted my son’s help to take some pictures as he was home from school, but feeling well enough to do all the things. Since I did not want to go far (we had just returned from errands), I decided to simply take pictures in the back yard. I wore the same top and earrings in the outfit in this blog post last year but donated the combat boots and skirt. I like today’s…

Stripes and Layers
Stripes are here to stay and they sure add interest to outfits. Today, I am sharing ways to layer them in the cooler months. Of course, you can wear them on their own as in the first outfit but they are perfect with all kinds of toppers. I am not sure I have a favorite way. The two tops I wore in these outfits are old. One has 3/4 sleeves while the other is longer at the bottom and at the sleeves. I also have striped tops for summer too. Standalone I like this particular top because it is a little thicker than my cotton one. The button detail and…

Wearing Dresses for Everyday- Fall/Winter Edition
I typically wear dresses in the spring and summer with denim jackets are on their own. However my closet has a number of dresses appropriate for cooler weather. Should I just wear them on Sundays? I decided to take some of them out of a spin in my daily routines and realized how comfortable and appropriate they are for any given day. Today I am sharing a variety of dresses as well as sharing Jodie (Jtouchofstyle.com) who often inspires me to think creatively with my wardrobe. I by no means am a minimalist when it comes to clothes but I do try to make sure that if something comes in…

Styling Skinny Jeans with the Ageless Style Link Up
Jodie chose the prompt skinny jeans this month! While I now wearing a much wider variety of jean styles than I used to, I still really enjoy styling my skinny jeans. I like them with knee high boots and to show off shoes as I did in today’s outfit! I can see this look for a semi casual holiday gathering where you will be indoors. I am starting this post with the shoe because I really love this picture and these pretty heels from Target have a sentimental value for me since I wore them at my brother’s wedding and I felt really special in them. I do not wear…

Mustard Dress 5 Ways
Happy Monday! I actually thought I had written this post when I realized Sunday evening that I had not. Thankfully, I had the pictures ready! For today’s photo shoot, I did not realize there was any wind until my son and I started taking pictures. The wind was really annoying and it really didn’t stop much. However, we trudged along and got it taken care of despite it being too sunny or too shady. I am sharing a new Target dress that I was influenced to buy by Melanie Miller when she shared it on Instagram. I knew the style would be versatile and I hoped the mustard color was…

Coastal Chic at the Beach in the Fall
I really liked all of the clothes and outfits I created for our beach trip (see my beach outfit recap post here) but thought that my Target linen pants deserved a post of their own. I originally picked these in white this summer but they were see through so I exchanged them for tan. I am so glad I did since I have many white pants but not tan ones. I wore these as a cover up (first 3 pictures) and then as an outfit. Tan Pants as a Cover Up I typically do not like to walk around in just my bathing so a pair of pull on wide…

Red and Black for the Holidays with the Sunday Showcase Link Up
I like to dress up when I can so I decided to put two red and black outfits for the holidays that I can wear this year for Nativity/Christmas. I hope these will inspire you to create your own red and black holiday outfits! We have several church services and I also am hoping to host a Christmas dinner with my parents on the 26th. It was really interesting to put together my outfits. I had several ideas in mind but had to adjust them as my first choices of shoes didn’t work and trying to be as creative as Jodie to create a top didn’t pan out. Both outfits…

Fall Beach Vacation Outfits
I wanted to share a recap from my outfits I wore last week while we were at the beach. We spent the first few days just enjoying some quiet time (I mostly read on the beach), and let the sand and the gulf entertain the children. While I think I will pack cozy leggings and sweatshirts outfits next go around, this year I created a little capsule wardrobe focusing on neutrals, stripes and rust. These are outfits I wore either all day or part of the day. The weather started cold the first day but it gradually warmed up till we had some gorgeous weather for a couple of days.…

7 Day Skirt Challenge 2022 with Is This Mutton
Every year, Gail from Is this Mutton puts on an Instagram skirt challenge to wear/share skirts for 7 days. I enjoy this challenge because I don’t always reach for my skirts in the fall but I do have a nice variety that I should wear more often. So today, I am sharing the skirts I wore (all but one) either for day to day activities or for church. Date Night Look Since returning from our trip to Costa Rica, I have been wanting to make sure my husband and I plan a monthly date. We went to church together and stop by a nice restaurant on the way home. I…

Fall Looks and Inspiration
If you live in the South of the US, fall can mean all kinds of weather. We have had days in the mid 80s, others in the 40s and 60s. Thanksgiving might be short sleeves or you might have to bundle up in a nice warm sweater. So you will notice that some of these outfits could be worn in the spring or others could be considered winter looks under a coat. I will say that fall in my favorite season as you can wear such a variety of clothes. I am sharing here some of my favorites from the past month or so. Hopefully these will be inspiration for…
