I thrifted this fun white dress last spring and was instantly in love with the embroidery details and fun cut (and pockets!). When planning my Easter outfits, I knew I wanted to wear this white dress for one of them (we have 2 church services we attend), but in a different way than in the past (I wore it with white leggings and sandals last Easter). So I decided to style it in a more casual manner since we would go to our church’s party after the Agape Vespers on Sunday. I wore another white dress of our Pascha/Easter service and liturgy which starts around 11:30 PM and lasts several…

Today, I am sharing another outfit I wore on our spring break trip to Nashville. I packed casual comfortable clothes and really enjoyed what I wore. My closet is a pretty good mix of thrifted and retail clothes and this outfit is a perfect example of that. Both my jeans and my sneakers were purchases inspired by blogging friends: I bought the Gap slim cropped pants after Kelly Ann from This Blonde Shopping Bag shared them last year and the sneakers are a pair very similar to Bo’s from Bo’s Bodacious Blog. More often than not, I replicate outfits with similar items found in my closet, but every so often,…

When I was brainstorming ideas for blog posts for the month of April, I googled spring trends and earmarked the ideas that fit my style and my closet. I didn’t want to buy anything new, but wanted to see what I had that would work: one of the colors that was trending was pistachio and I shared my outfits with Pops of Pistachio last week. Another color was Petal Pink so today, I am sharing a petal pink outfit and I really love what I came up with. I wore this on a busy day: errands, some chores, a dentist appointment, a windshield repair (just a chip) and some cooking.…

With the weather a little cool for April (low 50s), I packed a denim jacket and a couple sweatshirts for our little trip to Nashville. I also choose jeans and comfortable shoes as I knew our activities would include walking and time outdoors. I was pretty pleased with what I packed even though I did not wear the one dress and sandals I had brought along in case we went out to a fancy restaurant. As I mentioned in my first recap post about the trip here, we ate lunch at a vegan restaurant called the Sunflower cafe, and I just had to take a picture in front as I…

Knowing that my oldest was going to spend spring break at home and that he would be low on spending money, I decided to take as many blog post pictures as possible during that week. I found inspiration by searching spring trend for 2025 and came up with real outfits from my closet and earmarked the ones that appealed to me. My first memory of pistachio is eating and disliking pistachio ice cream in France. I remember visiting some friends who had a boy about my age and me eating a pistachio ice cream that I didn’t like so I could continue talking to him. I was probably 10 or…

Today, I am sharing 2 outfits that I think can either fit in a coastal or French aesthetic category. The materials (linen and cotton), the colors (white, tan and navy) and patterns (florals and stripes) lend themselves to either frame of mind. I wore one outfit one week then the other the following week, but photographed both the same day. I wasn’t super pleased with the pictures (I can be overly critical sometimes with my posture, hair, facial expression), but decided they would work! This is not a professional blog, but more like a letter of fashion inspiration for my friends!! White and Blue with Tan These Old Navy linen…

Last month, my friend Rachel and I got together for some thrifting fun and lunch. While I had a list in mind and I was able to check off a couple of things on that list, I came across some fun finds I couldn’t pass up. The first thing I bought was a red trench coat, NWT from Express. Since I already had found this trench coat, did I really need the second one that was missing a belt? I did not, however the color was too good for me to leave it and I knew both would get worn in the spring and fall. Red Trench Coat Thrifting with…

This bright orange Amazon dress from 5 or so years back doesn’t get worn very often for some reason. I love the color of it and it works well for church or a date night, but I typically wear it once or twice a year. I last shared it for fall in 2023 (here is the post) and just as I did today, I wore it with sneakers (just a different pair). This is inspiring me to pull it out more often. I let the dress shine by choosing some more subdued accessories: small “silver” earrings and some bracelets. The fun tote is one that I thrifted in the fall…
