Denim Jacket Spring Inspiration
I thought that it would be fun to share some of my past outfits featuring my denim jackets to give you some spring inspiration. For some of us, spring weather has already made an appearance (think the southern states) while some of you may enjoy these ideas for the coming months. I have several denim jackets and I find that each of them has a place in my closet. I wear them for church, during the week and with a variety of outfits. They are great for dressing down an outfit or give you just that needed layer to stay warm. Mustard Denim Jacket (or any colored denim) I had…

Outfit Inspiration: Recap Scarves, Skirts and Dresses with Jeans
This month, I decided to share most of my daily outfits in two posts to show you how I am shopping my closet. If you remember my post Lean Budget Month a couple of weeks ago, I shared some theme ideas to help me plan my outfits and have fun in my closet. I switched out my winter clothes for my spring/summer clothes the day before I published that post which infused a nice dose of color into my closet. I had forgotten about a few pieces and I reorganized a few things to where everything made sense. I am lucky to have a spacious closet so nothing is crammed…

Styling Emerald Green for Spring: March Sunday Showcase
When Ada suggested wearing emerald green for this Sunday Showcase, I thought about my dark emerald green tank (which would be a little harder to style for the weather) and then this green dress from Target which is a more muted emerald green. Emerald is a slighthly bluish vivid green but since there is a wide range of colors that fit the description, I thought this dress fit the theme well and I decided to style it in a new way. I last featured it in this post last year with a different denim jacket. I took these pictures on a sunny afternoon last week and I couldn’t believe these…

Inspired by I Do DeClaire: Red and Stripes
One of the tips I have for shopping your closet successfully is to search for inspiration on Pinterest or Instagram while knowing what it hanging in your closet. If your closet is stuffed to the gills and you cannot see what you have, you may not be able to find inspiration that you can actually copy or replicate. Remember though that it does not have to be an exact copy. As you will see in this post my outfit is very similar to Laura’s from I do DeClaire who was my inspiration but it is not an exact copy. The idea is there but with the colors but the cuts…

Build an Outfit: How to Create an Interesting Look
I sometimes put on just a cute sweater, pants and sneakers and call it a day but some days, I try to create a new outfit from my closet or decide to add extra interest to my look of the day. I am working on spending less and wearing more of what I have creating new outfits with the same pieces. Today, I wanted to share the creation of 3 outfits to show you my process. New Outfit with Blush top The outfit on the right is my first outfit: I had not worn my blush top at all this season and I wasn’t sure if it still had a…

Cowboy boots Winter Outfit
I have been trying to wear my cowboy boots at least once every season if not more as they are really a cool pair of footwear. This outfit really is meant to showcase the new to me Kyla Seo plaid shirt that I found on Poshmark the first week in February but the boots complimented the outfit so well and are such a statement that I titled my post with them. If you would like to see how I have styled them on the blog before, there is a summer outfit with them and another older post here. But back to my new shirt: I bought it NWT and got…

7 Days of Dresses: Winterizing your Dresses
For my 7 days of dresses challenge on Instagram, I shopped my closet and winterized them to fit the weather and my activities. Many times, I added a pair of leggings to shorter dresses especially if it was really cold and had fun adding different types of top layers to them. I may not be as creative as Jodie (she is sharing her post here today with her dresses styled for winter) but I am happy to say this was a fun challenge and I created some new to me outfits. Thanks to the ladies who tagged me on Instagram with their dress outfits and thank you, Jodie for joining…

Ponchos and Wraps with the Ageless Style Link Up
Since I have never devoted a whole post to this summer 2020 Loft Clearance find, I decided that this little poncho deserved some attention and it fit perfectly with our Ageless Style theme. I actually had a completely different outfit in mind with a different poncho but when I wore this one day at the end of January, I decided that we needed to take some blog pictures with it. I was comfortable and warm all day in it, wearing the scarf in the morning while it was in the 30s and shedding it when the temperatures hit the 50s. I’ve actually worn the poncho with stripes before as well…

Velvet Joggers: 5 ways
I am all about versatility in my closet so when I picked up these velvet joggers at Kohls before the holidays, I wanted to share that they do not need to be relegated to being worn one month of the year or for special occasions but they can be worn at any time. So today I am sharing a few dressy ways to wear them as well as some casual looks. Since I had to change after each picture, we took these pictures around the house instead of a pretty location. Frenchie One of my husband’s uncles has always called me Frenchie! And with this pretty tunic and my beret,…

Red for Valentines: February Sunday Showcase
I love it when I can find something new to share for a theme that is a yearly theme. Around the holidays, it is nice to share some outfits that one might wear for a special occasion or a themed outfit so today, I was happy to be able to share a newer dress that hasn’t seen the daylight yet. Today, Ada and I are sharing some red outfits and accessories for the month of Love and Friendship! I typically do not have any luck with maxi dresses on Amazon: they have been too tight in the bodice, been unflattering, have had mistakes in the sewing and I have always…
