March Sunday Showcase: Color Denim Jackets
There are several ways to transition your wardrobe from winter to spring and these ways might be different depending upon where you live. The past few weeks in Georgia have been very mild with an occasional cooler day. Today, for our March Sunday Showcase with Ada from Elegance and Mommyhood, I am sharing an idea that is not new by any means: adding a denim jacket to transition your outfits and give them a taste of spring. Both of the dresses I am sharing were hand me downs and both have long sleeves so I really would wear these outfits on a cooler winter/spring day. I chose non traditional denim…

Spring Dress 3 Ways
I has been a minute since I posted a 3 ways to wear something (last time being this black dress) and I am following it with another dress, this time a print dress. I saw this dress on someone’s Instagram story I think and chose it in a polka dot pattern in blue. There are many colors to chose from and right now it is on sale for $25.99 which I think is what I paid.I really have been trying to find dresses that are versatile and can work for church and for play and that means I have to watch the neckline and skirt length. The ruffles are fun…

Inspired by I Do DeClaire and Doused in Pink
I actually had planned to copy one of Jodie’s (from Jtouch of Style) outifts this month but after seeing Laura’s copycat outfit of Jill’s (Doused in Pink) here, I decided to use this one for February. Now that the pictures are taken and I am home, I realize I could have chosen a pair of black booties and leggings and unzipped my jacket to make it a closer copy. It also would have been more flattering. However, I am pleased with my outfit: that is what finding inspiration from others is all about: taking someone’s outfit and making it your own. I actually bought this skirt on Amazon last year…

Sparkle and Shine with the Ageless Style Link Up
Welcome to the Ageless Style link up which will be held on the 3rd Thursday of each month. This month’s theme is brought to you by Carrie at A Stylish Fit. When I heard the theme, I first thought of a grey short sleeve dolman top I had that has silvery thread through it (see it here) but I wanted something that would be more weather appropriate for the winter. I made it my mission to find something sparkly on my early February trip to Goodwill and lo and behold I can across a pretty shiny and sparkly silver tunic. Thankfully, I was able to try the tops on over…

Create 28 Challenge Outfits (Week 1 and 2)
This February, I decided to join in with Carrie from A Stylish Fit with her create 28 winter challenge. The challenge has a daily prompt and encourages you to take another look at your closet to create new combinations. I really appreciate that the prompts are simple and broad! It was easy for me to come up with outfits and I think they were all new combinations. I cheated a little and went shopping on the 2nd of the month at Goodwill and scored 9 tops for $40. So I am shopping my closet with the addition fo my thrift finds. Here are some of my favorites from the first…

February Sunday Showcase: Red and Pink for Valentine’s
For this February Sunday Showcase, Ada and I are showing you a contrast in weather and how we can wear accessories red and pink in winter but in ways that work for where we live. We both love red and I really am a little jealous of some of her red accessories. This year, I have been looking at which colors are missing in my closet and keeping an eye out for them in stores. Don’t forget to stop by Ada’s blog post to see more of her pink and red layers! A Dressy Look When Ada suggested a red and a pink look for the February showcase, I decided…

Shopping on a Budget: Thrifting
I only went thrifting once or possibly twice in 2020. I plan to remedy that this year and hope to make it a monthly outing with my mom. There is a nice consignment store in her small town where I always find something as well as a St Vincent de Paul thrift store that surprised me with a few fun finds in November. I was disappointed to see that it was closed the day we went because of possible COVID exposure so I plan to stop by next month. I think the thing that I enjoy the most from shopping second hand is finding some items that you do not…

OOTD: Shopping my Closet to Copy Looks
I have been getting inspiration from different bloggers’ blog posts and Instagram posts to create my daily outfits recently. Another way to shop your closet and make new outfits is to take note when you see an outfit you like and can replicate in some shape or manner. Here are the looks I copied with my version of them! Inspired by Megan from Honey We’re Home Megan is always a great source of inspiration for outfits and home organization. Her pink vest in this post caught my attention since I have one in my closet and I knew right away this would be an easy look to wear. I have…

Little Black Dress 3 Ways
One of the things I would like to focus this year is sharing ways to wear one item. It may be an item that was an investment piece, a thrifted item, a statement item or a classic piece like a little black dress. I have this dress in black and purple and I will share a couple ways at the end of this post with the purple dress to show you that a classic timeless dress does not have to be a neutral to be versatile. My sister in law handed down both of these dresses to me last year and I had forgotten how well they fit and how…

My Favorite November and December Outfits
Some months, I recap my favorite outfits of the month in one or two posts and sometimes I forget. I haven’t done that in a while, so I decided I would look back at my outfits for the last two months and decide which outfits I liked best. I will say that having a good hair day also influences which outfits made the cut! I ended up with 10 outfits with two of them being from our beach trip at Thanksgiving. Grey Monochromatic Look Love every piece in this outfit and wore it again on New Year’s Day! I have worn these booties so much more than I expected. Snakeskin…
