    Mother’s Day Outfit: Gingham Dress

    I always like to dress up a little for Mother’s Day and when I was thinking about what I would wear, this dress came to mind. I had not worn it yet at the time of these pictures, but paired with my little jacket, it would work for church. We moved in my parents with us a few weeks ago and are adjusting to our new routine and family dynamics. We created a haven on our 3rd floor for ourselves to have a space to chill and hang out when we want time apart. A movie room with a big screen and comfy couches and a new space for our…

    What to Wear to a Fieldtrip

    Since I only have one child in primary/elementary school, there are not too many more opportunities to go accompany one of my children on a Fieldtrip. Most of the fieldtrips are to the same places every year, so I pick and choose which to go to. Going to the strawberry farm to pick strawberries is my type of fun, so that was the occasion for this outfit. I usually try to wear something in the school’s colors on field trip or sports events. Our school colors are purple and gold. While I sometimes wear school sponsored clothes, I would rather wear something a little more interesting and fun from my…

    Spring Wide Leg Pants Outfits

    This is not the first time I have shared outfits with wide leg pants. Wide leg pants are one of my favorite ways to wear pants when it is too warm to wear jeans and I have curated a nice collection of them over the past few years. I did add 2 pairs last year when I was visiting Just Be Youtiful boutique in Arizona and I have reached for those probably the most. But I still love my other pairs too. Today, I am sharing some combinations I wore the past couple of months. Wow! This was a day where getting dressed brought me joy and I was glad…

    Denim Dress: 3 ways to Style for Spring

    I shared this dress a few weeks ago after I found it in a booth at a local boutique shop. I could see all of the styling possibilities when I bought it, so I decided to share some more inspiration for spring. Since I have a pretty full closet, anything that I add to it nowadays has to show its value by being worn more than just once or twice a year. I believe this will be a great dress to style this fall with boots, booties and layers. The dress can be worn on its own without a belt, but I wanted to add some interest and not have…

    Navy and Burgundy: Inspired by Melodie

    I follow Melodie Banfield on Instagram: she is a beautiful, classy French young women who shares her photo shoots in Paris where she lives with her husband. She also spends some time in the countryside and is a delight to follow. Recently, she shared an outfit with a pair of burgundy pants and a short sleeve striped navy sweater in a photo shoot at a market in Paris. As soon as I saw it, I knew I could wear a similar outfit. Here is her IG and if you go back a little, you can see the inspiration picture. I probably wouldn’t have thought to pair these two pieces together,…

    3 Ways to wear a Set with the Ageless Style Link Up

    Today, Joanne suggested showing how to wear something 3 ways: I could have shared how to wear my new to me denim dress 3 ways, but I will do that soon enough. Instead, I decided to share how to wear this set 3 ways. I am not one much for sets, but I do have a skirt set that I really enjoy (see here) and I think this pant and tank set will be a fun one to wear. I bought it when my friend’s online boutique was closing, so I read the description for it and decided to take a chance on it. Of course, there are many more…

    Spring Skirt Outfits 2026

    Every year, when I start switching out my wardrobe for spring and summer, I greet my summer skirts like long lost friends. Some do hang in my closet all year, however I like to put some away because they feel like new when I pull them out. And each year, I find new ways to wear them. Of course most of these get worn with tank tops a lot during the summer and I do repeat some outfits. But I am always surprised when I put together a new combination! Maxi in Purple One example is this outfit: have I never paired these 2 together? I don’t think so, but…

    The Perfect Thrifted Denim Dress

    There is a little place in town that holds different booths that each person rent: you can find furniture, boutique items, second hand items and some antiques. I like to visit it about once a month, sometimes in search of something in particular like a lamp and other times just for fun. I decided to stop by in March for a quick see even though I wasn’t planning to spend on clothes and came home with this dress and a belt buckle (for a total of $13). This was the perfect denim dress and here is why it is the perfect dress. The length is perfect: it can be worn…

    Denim Jackets: Styling a Variety of Silhouettes

    Everyone has a denim jacket, but nowadays, you can find denim jackets in a variety of silhouettes just as you can find different styles and cuts of denim jeans. Today, I am styling four different jackets from my closet, but I am still on the lookout for a short sleeve denim jacket (I may cut the sleeves of a thrifted long sleeve one if I find a cut I like). Three out of 4 of these were thrifted and my oldest is the non-thrifted classic one from Target. Jodie is also sharing some denim jackets with different silhouettes and I cannot wait to see how she styled them. Here is…

    Daily Outfits with Blazers for Spring

    The weather here in Georgia is weird: you can have a 30 degree jump during the day especially in the transitional months. So the opportunity for lighter layers can be fleeting and I wanted to take advantage of some of those days to wear my thrifted blazers. And yes, you can wear blazers even if you do not work in an office. I am a stay at home mom and enjoy adding a little structure to my outfits with a blazer. Black Blazer Last time I shared this black blazer, I recreate an IG outfit, so today, I wanted to wear a different way. I actually am wearing the same…
