Sports with the Ageless Style Link Up
This theme proposed by Jodie for Jtouchofstyle can be interpreted many ways. Since I do not typically share athletic wear on my blog, I thought this would be a fun departure from my usual style that I share with you usually. I am one of those people who just cannot spend big money on exercise clothes whose purpose it to sweat in but I will splurge on a good sports bra and a good pair of running shoes. I shared some of the things I do to try to keep in shape in this post but I also spent a couple years coaching 7 year old soccer and that is…

Camo Skinnies for a Date Night Look
I’ve been wanting to share these sand camo pants (another pair of Old Navy Pixie pants) for a little while and decided to put together another date night look. I plan to wear this one evening this month to go out with the hubby. I have worn this pair a couple of times during the day but will mostly wear them in the spring and fall I think. Too hot on most days for pants here! I paired them with this flowy high low blouse (similar) and since I am wearing my white one for the upcoming Fab 40s post, I chose my blush one. For me this is an…

Stars and Stripes: July 2021 Sunday Showcase and Link Up
Ada (Elegance and Mommyhood) and I have now collaborated for the Sunday Showcase Link Up for a year now! So I was happy with this month’s theme as I am wearing patriotic outfits but very different ones from last year’s post! Of course, my closet was full of stripes so it was a manner of choosing which striped top of bottom to wear and I did order something new for the stars (it’s always a good excuse to shop!). Stars At first glance, you may not see the stripes in this outfit especially that none of my outfit pictures are close up so scroll down to see where they appear.…

June Favorite Looks
I am glad to say that I have liked pretty much every outfit I have worn this past month. Of course, there are some that I liked more than others and those are the ones I rounded up here. Once again, there is a lot of color! I probably will be wearing more neutrals as the fall season arrives! I like these pants much better now that my mom hemmed them. With the elastic waisband, I can make them more of a cropped length or not by pulling them higher or lower on my waist. Loving my $5 Target tanks. I also pulled out my glass pendants this month after…

Fab 40s: Inspired by Fire: Red Dress 6 Ways
There is something really satisfying about knowing you have worn something many times and in different ways. A solid dress is a canvas with which you can play with accessories, layers and shoes and a dress with little extra details like this one is even more fun. This Target dress has been around for a couple of years now. At the time I wrote this post, it was only available in white and size medium and above. I did size up to a medium even though I usually size down in this brand because the bust was too tight in other sizes. The eyelet details, the ruffles, tassels and v-neck…

Blue Dress for a Civil War Fort Tour
I originally planned to take pictures of this outfit on the beach but as things usually go on a vacation, plans change and I decided this would be an outfit that would be comfortable even for a tour of a fort. You will learn more about our visit to Old Fort Jackson this Wednesday so today will focus on my outfit! I ordered this dress in two colors from Target after seeing a couple bloggers share it (Andrea from Living On Cloud Nine has it in this blue color and Carrie from A Simple Lovely Life shared it in the peach) and kept the blue as I felt the peach…

Brights from Day to Night with the Ageless Style Link Up
After realizing that I really liked Old Navy’s pixie ankle pants, I went online and ordered 3 more pairs including this bright straight leg pair. I went for patterns, color and shape and it was nice to add a pair that was not skinny pants to my closet. These are both real life outfits which is what I usually share on my blog. Brights for Day I went really colorful with this outfit that I wore taking my oldest to the eye doctor at Target. We found this wall on the way back home and I left the car running so we could grab a few photos. I wouldn’t have…

Inspired by a Pair of Earrings
This blog post and outfit combines two ideas: I wanted to showcase this light weight jacket I have had for about 15 years and wanted to find a way to combine orange and pink in an outfit like in these earrings. You may remember the earrings from my Monday post a few weeks ago (shorts and kimono) and that is when I decided to shop my closet to create a new to me outfit. This pretty “Paris” jacket just made its way back to my closet after I lent it to my mom for a few years. I do not remember when I bought it but if you scroll down,…

June Sunday Showcase: Dressed up Tunic for Summer and Link Up
For this month’s showcase, Ada (Elegance and Mommyhood) and I are dressing up our tunics. I think both of our tunics were advertised as dresses but for modesty’s sake we both wear them as tunics with leggings under them. Mine is from Old Navy and is about 3 years old but I have only worn it about 3 times usually for special occasions such as my anniversary date with my husband to a winery (here) and an award ceremony for my son. Each time I have dressed it up with pretty sandals. This whole outfit is shopped from my closet and every single piece apart from the clutch is several…

My Haircut: Low Maintenance and Easy
By now you all know how low maintenance I am as far as make up and hair goes: I rarely wear makeup and only use chapstick and gloss daily and I really don’t do much with my hair. I have had different haircuts over the years and have tried growing out my hair a few times but I always come back to this haircut. Short bob with a fun cut in the back. I only have to blow dry it after a wash and then just comb it every morning. In today’s post I include 2 sets of pictures taken after my haircuts, probably 5 months apart. Looking at these…
