2 more Pinterest Inspired White Beach Pants Looks
Big thanks to my son for taking my pictures on Sunday! I wanted to write this post as a follow up to last Monday’s which meant taking pictures on Sunday and it was really sunny. So we took to the front of our house for our pictures to find some decent shade and backgrounds. No fun outing since we were still recouping from our 3 hours on the river on Saturday. You wouldn’t think that floating down the river would be exhausting but even with hats, the sun sure was beating on us. We did have a great time though and added two 1 person rafts to our arsenal so…

Inspired by Pinterest: White Beach Pants and Stripes
I have an old pair of white linen pants that I call my beach pants because they make me want to go to the beach, put my feet in the sand and relax. I bought them at Target years ago and while they are not pristine white anymore, they still look good and are very comfortable. Wanting to create new outfits from things in my closet, I did a little search on PInterest and found 3 outfits that I could easily copy. Here is the first one and the source is elleapparelblog.com White pants? Check. Cognac sandals and tote? Check. Stripe tee and denim jacket? Check. Cap? Not a plain…

Inspired by Vanity and Me Style
Last Monday, as I was doing my blog rounds, linking up my Monday post and visiting blogs, I stopped by Laurie’s blog, Vanity and Me Style. I have always loved Laurie’s classy style but this is the first time I have tried to replicate one of her outfits. Laurie is a 50+ lifestyle and fashion blogger from the UK and she always looks put together in her outfits. On that day, the first outfit she wore really stood out with its white monochromatic tone and because I knew I could come up with something similar from my closet. I always have loved all white outfit and this was a perfect…

Poshmark Finds
Well, I haven’t done too well with my slowing down on my shopping lately but at least I am trying to include some small business/substainable fashion in it! This past week Meg from @pixieandcurls on Instagram was sharing some pictures of some finds she was going to post on her Poshmark account and I decided to do a little shopping. It would both help her and my closet! Here are 3 of the items I purchased (there is a pink/purple denim jacket that I gifted to a tween and a cute little yellow bucket purse that might make an Instagram appearance at some point. Fun, Fun, Fun Bando Tee This…

Pascha Outfit: Modcloth skirt for the Win!
My floral Modcloth skirt is a fan favorite and also a favorite of mine. Here are the two post (here and here) where I have already featured it and I wanted to continue to show its versatility with new outtfit. I chose to wear this on Orthodox Easter (Pascha) this Sunday. I felt that is was a great way to celebrate the resurrection, with an outfit full of cheer and happiness with sunny colors and white! Of course, I had to take some pictures at my favorite bench as the spring background of new leaves makes for a pretty backdrop. This outfit is actually quite budget friendly coming to less…

Leggings: Go2Socks vs Zella High Waisted
In the fall and winter, I have been wearing solely my Zella high waisted leggings when I want to wear leggings instead of jeans. I always wear a tunic or long sweater with them. A few months ago, Jodie from Jtouchofstyle recommended the Go2Socks compression leggings in a post (the link takes you to one of 3 posts on reviewing the leggings). With such a difference in price, I decided to go ahead and purchase a pair and put them to the test. Of course I took advantage of her discount code too! Zella High Waisted Leggings I paid full price for my pair of Zella leggings but they do…

What is my signature style?
After I read a couple blog posts about signature styles, I decided to think about what constitute my personal or signature style. I asked myself a couple of questions: what items do I add no matter my outfit? Which pieces of clothing do I reach for? Which things to I feel tempted to buy? What do I like most in my outfits? Here are my conclusions: Statement Earrings It is rare that you will see be out and about without a pair of statement earrings and most often than not, it will be a pair of Nickel and Suede earrings. It used to be that I would only wear studs…

Green Maxi Skirt Outfits
I always find it interesting how you see a piece of clothing on a model, and you either like it or not, then you see in on a “real person” and you like it better and then you try it for yourself and you either do like it or not. It is definitely a hit and miss especially when you are shipping online and cannot try clothes till after you have paid for them. While I have not been successful much with finding dresses online that fit me well (I have had some good laughs with some things from Amazon), I was pretty successful with my skirts from SheIn (3…

Accessories are amazing!
If you are traveling or if you have a small wardrobe, accessories can be a game changer. They can transform an outfit by a switch of a shoe or an earring or by their addition such as a scarf or a necklace. They can be more economical than adding a blouse or a pair of pants to your closet and if you are traveling they do not take much space (apart from shoes). Now the earrings I am sharing are not economical as Nickel and Suede earrings run usually around $25 to $32 but I love them so much that I have collected a dozen pairs over the past few…

March Outfits
Well, we are nearing the end of the month. March sure ended differently than it started. With at least another month of online learning ahead, I am hoping for temperate weather as it goes very quickly from spring to summer here in the South. My outfits haven’t really changed much in the past few weeks as my lifestyle hasn’t changed much. Of course, there is no weekly playdate and no fun trip to Target but mostly, I was a homebody taking care of my 2 year old and my blog while the oldest were in school. I have been wanting some graphic tees so you will see more of those…
