How many boots do you need?
I guess if we were talking about real necessity the need would be for one or two pairs of boots. But as many of us like to wear different boots with different outfits and as weather might require one boot over another, today I am sharing the boots in my closet. I have not included booties. I do not own any OTK boots and the only new pair this year is the black riding boots from Target. The others are at least a couple years old. I do love that boots usually stay in my closet for quite a while. Black riding boots These are the boots that I typically…

Beach vacation outfits
Well, we are back from our vacation at the beach! We had a wonderful time at the beach and I will be sharing a couple of our excursions over the next couple of Wednesdays. Please keep my nephew’s healing in your prayers as we had a little incident near the end of our trip. We ended up adding a day to our trip to be near the hospital and visit him there before returning home. We divided our time at the beach between playing on the beach and going on a few outings. I had planned for a relaxed wardrobe consisting of mostly light sweatshirts and some layers for early…

Fall at the beach: packing
This Saturday, we will leave for a week at the beach (I will be taking that whole week off from blogging but will be posting some on Instagram). When getting ready for a vacation where we are renting our lodging, my first 2 tasks are planning some meals and planning my wardrobe. The meals I am planning are instant pot crack chicken (I will prep it before we go so we will just have to warm it up), a vegetable lasagna and we will cook a boston butt when we are there. I love hassle free meals and like to bring most of our grocery so hopefully it will all…

Thanksgiving outfit
Just the other day, I pulled out my burgundy waterfall cardigan for my daily outfit and it inspired me to create a Thanksgiving look. I always like to dress up a little for the holidays even if we do not go to parties or have fancy dress occasions. So I took the same jeans and cardigan and made a few changes to elevate the look. The first look was what I wore for a day running a couple errands and doing some organization at the house. We will be going to the beach the week of Thanksgiving as we did last year and most likely we will return to GTs…

October Looks: Part 2
So this past week, I went to Old Navy to pick up a vest I had ordered online (it saved me shipping, and an extra $5 with the discount code) since it was on the way back for the pediatrician. Having just written the first part of this post and realizing that I have so many cute clothes and so many more new outifts to combine then into, I did not even browse in the store and walked out with just my vest! Granted I was with the 2 year old and shopping with him would not have been the most fun experience but I was pleased that I was…

October Looks: Part 1
I love writing these posts! Once again as I looked through all of these outfits, I was reminded that yes! I have quite a variety of clothes and shopping is not necessary so I need to be smart in my purchases! This post is heavy on photos so divided it between today and Monday and hopefully it will inspire you to some new combinations using what you already have on hand in your closet! The first part of October was warm or should I say hot with temperatures still in the 90s. Therefore the first few outfits in the month involved shorts! All of the items in this outfit were…

Capsule wardrobe: floral skirt
[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”] [et_pb_row admin_label=”row”] [et_pb_column type=”4_4″] [et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] So in this part two of my capsule wardrobe, I am sharing outfits with my number 1 skirt, my yellow floral skirt! I think that this skirt can transcends the seasons thanks to the colors of the flowers with the burgundies, purples and dark greens. Since I was limited on time this past week and weekend with many appointments and a very busy weekend, I am using pictures from my prior post dedicated to this skirt as well as some pictures I was able to take on Sunday. Purple tee and booties Using a darker color on top helps transition a look…

Friday Favorites
Well, after about 30 days of no shopping, Amazon called my name and I purchased two sweaters this week. I have been bookmarking different sweaters and cardigans in my Amazon shopping cart this past month to purchase in November since that is what I could use more in my closet. I am trying to be more thoughful with my purchases and not buying just to buy. What will I wear? What is a good value? While we just paid off my van, I had to replace the windshield this week and next week, I need to replace the brakes so I need to watch the 1 click feature on Amazon.…

Capsule wardrobe: white jeans outfits
Last week, I shared a colorful fall capsule wardrobe that I thought would be great to create different fun outfits with a limited number of pieces. Here are some outifts that I came up with. I could create more by changing out the shoes and adding a different scarf to some of them. As a reminder, here are the tops I chose for the capsule wardrobe (I took pictures with 3 of these tops). Floral blouse The floral blouse is a nice contrast to the white jeans. I wore it on a nice fall day with my blush slip on sneakers. I could easily switch them for the booties. Add…

Colorful Capsule Wardrobe for Fall
I was inspired by Tanya from 50 is not old to think about which items I would use in my closet to create a capsule fall wardrobe. This is a wardrobe that I could see myself taking for a 2 week fall vacation in Europe or somewhere where the weather gets cool in the fall but not especially cold. While most items in a capsule warbrobe should be classic, I decided to pull some color with several items. I could see these working here in Georgia till at least the end of November. As you will see in the next three posts, all of the pieces work well together! Here…
