7 Day of Skirts: Transitioning from Winter to Spring
As spring approaches, I am once more excited to wear skirts and things I have not reached for in the past few months. Our weather in Georgia is still all over the place with many pretty days but also cooler rainy days. So I am not really wearing just my spring skirts as much as the ones that I think transition from one season to the other. I am not ready for sandals yet, so what you will notice is that many of these skirts are paired with sneakers which are my shoe of choice right now. I wanted to wear this thrifted sweater skirt one more time before I…

Dots and Spots with the Ageless Style Link Up
Welcome back to the Ageless Style Link Up! This month, it was my turn to choose the theme and since not everyone is having spring like weather like we have had in Georgia, I decided to choose a theme that would work for everyone. Spots (cheetah, leopard..) and dots fit the bill. I decided to share once again the thrifted polka dot blazer Jodie found for me a few months back because it is so soft and comfortable. I really like the length of the sleeves since I tend to fold up jacket sleeves unless I am cold. I have found I like fitted blazers the best so this one…

Thrifted Boho Outfit for $40
I enjoyed sharing my thrifted outfit for $25 last month (remember the snakeskin pants outfit here?) so much that I decided to write a similar post this month. I bought this American Eagle dress at Uptown Cheapskate for $17 and decided to see how I could create a head to toe thrifted outfit from my closet. I absolutely love this dress: the colors are pretty, the crochet details and tassel add interest, and the dress has a beautiful flow. I wear my readers all the time and didn’t even realize I was wearing them until I got home. Oops! The little purse was a thrifted find in Chattanooga for $3…

May Flowers with the Ageless Style Link Up
This was one of those instances when I take pictures for a blog post way ahead of time. I bought this pretty dress in a little boutique while on spring break in Tennessee and when I discovered this pretty patch of flowers off of the road our cabin was on, I told my boys we had to take some blog pictures. Thankfully, we chose the sunniest and warmest day so it was pleasant to take the pictures despite some thorns and our worry about poison oak and poison ivy. If there was any, we were spared! This is my favorite picture of the bunch! This Umgee dress is a true…

Inspired by Looks for Spring
On Saturday, I decided to proofread Monday’s post (this one) to realize I actually had not written it! I have been cranking out blog posts and scheduling them as inspiration strikes and had the pictures for this post but lo and behold, I had not written it. This inspired by post was inspired by Dawn from Just doing my Best and Debi from A Beautiful Second Act. What I usually do is snap a screenshot when I come across an outfit I like and feel I can reproduce in some manner and it just turned out that each had two within a time period that inspired me. Wide Leg Denim…

My French Inspired Outfits
I ordered a few items from Vivi et Margot a couple months ago and they inspired me to put together a few outfits that made me think of France. Even though I grew up in France and have visited a few times since then, I do not think that I am an expert about French fashion: I think of classy and classic when I think of French style, of stripes and white button downs but I think most people do not have a particular style unless they live in more metropolitan areas. At least that was my experience growing up there. Teenagers in my private school were all about brands…

Happy Birthday, Ada! Express Dress for Multiple Occasions
Today’s blog post is in honor of Ada’s (Elegance and Mommyhood) birthday! We have been cohosting the Sunday Showcase for almost 2 years now and have developed our friendship through messaging and phone calls. As busy moms it is sometimes hard to touch base but the ease of messaging or texting each helps us keep in touch. Hopefully, we will be able to meet in the near future! Ada’s has a lovely sense of style and I love how she often wear light and airy dresses and rompers. She wears colors so well and knows where to shop. I would say, Loft, Express and Target are her top choices and…

Sunday Showcase: Mothers Day Brunch Dresses
Mother’s day is coming up! Will you dress up and wear a favorite outfit? Will you dress down and wear something cozy? Today, I am sharing one of my dresses that would be one of my top 3 choices to wear. I have worn this dress to a wedding as well as this year Pascha’s night matins and Liturgy. My mom gave it to be a couple of years ago and I really felt pretty wearing it on this occasion. Don’t forget to stop by Ada’s blog to see more about her outfit details! She is wearing the cutest spring dress with her daughters and love how sweet they look.…

Recap: Hiking Outfits for the Great Smoky Mountains
I packed a variety of comfortable clothes for our spring break and put together my outfits by rolling them in my packing cubes. It took less space and made getting dressed easier. I did purchase a few things on this trip and I will share those items soon. Here is a recap of what I wore and which activities we did on those days. This is what I wore when we hiked Laurel Falls Branch except that this sweatshirt is a souvenir sweatshirt I picked up in Townsend on the way back. We spent the evening by the river and made a fire. I did not attempt to fish as…

April Showers with Ageless Style Link Up
I absolutely loved this theme chosen by Leslie of Once Upon a Time Happily Ever After. I knew I would use my pretty and inexpensive umbrella from Aldi but wasn’t sure what I would wear. Then a couple of weeks ago, Jodie of Jodie Touch of Style shared a look that Lesley wore and I knew that was the one! I shopped my closet to create something similar. I really love an all white look and I have done this a couple of times on the blog with different pieces. This time I really liked Lesley’s idea of using black accessories. I tried adding a belt but it didn’t look…
