Hiking and Vacationing in Style
This Spring break vacation took us to the Red River Gorge area in Eastern Kentucky. I will be sharing our scenic hikes over the next few weeks, but today I wanted to share the outfits I wore on our hikes and outings. I did a great job packing this vacation as I wore everything but a pair of earrings. Shoes were important and I wore my hand me downs Timberland hiking boots when hiking and my cute shoes on our other outings. The weather turned out gorgeous apart from our last day so I was able to do without layers. Peach My goal this spring and summer is to add…

April Sunday Showcase: Easter Casual Look
Welcome to the April Sunday Showcase! I cannot believe it is already April! The boys have 5 more weeks to school after Spring break and it is will be summer time! For this month theme, we chose Easter outfits and both went with some pretty, girly but casual outfits. I wanted to share a slightly different Easter look for the Sunday Showcase this month. While today is Easter on the western calendar, in the Orthodox church, we won’t be celebrate Easter/Pascha till May 2. Some years both dates coincide put more often than not we are a few weeks behind (there are several elements in calculating the date). Anyhow, this…

Target Dress and Denim Jacket for Spring
I haven’t bought anything this month in the way of clothing and it feels really good! As I mentioned in Friday’s post, I really needed a budget reset and shopping for non essential items was the first place I made cuts. It gave me the opportunity to shop my closet, wear all of my jackets and pull out some of my skirts I hadn’t worn since last year. I did purchase this dress in teal green and in black in February and have worn them both this month. I took advantage of one of Target’s 20% sales to buy them. I am learning to wait for a sale when buying…

Jumpsuit and Sneakers for Spring
I always forget about this jumpsuit (my one and only) and how comfortable it is to wear! Nothing like an elastic waistband, flowy pants to feel like you are wearing pajamas! I have shared this jumpsuit in this post for fall and another one with 4 ways to style it. I also wrote an Inspired by post with it too! I really need to wear it on a more regular basis and use my own ideas to style it. Today, I am sharing a spring look with sneakers and my yellow denim jacket. I took two of the boys to take pictures next to some stinky Bradford Pear trees as…

Inspired by Jodie from Jodie Touch of Style
I have been wanting to copy one of Jodie’s looks for quite a while as she is my style icon! Jodie (from JTouchofStyle) is my favorite fashion blogger out there! She always challenges me to try new combinations, to thrift and shop my closet and to have fun with color. She always answers my questions and has been a help in my blogging journey. I love how real she is and her blog is really a great place to find inspiration as she, her mom as well as her friend Lesley show how you can interpret a theme in your own personal way. Today’s look was inspired by one of…

March Sunday Showcase: Color Denim Jackets
There are several ways to transition your wardrobe from winter to spring and these ways might be different depending upon where you live. The past few weeks in Georgia have been very mild with an occasional cooler day. Today, for our March Sunday Showcase with Ada from Elegance and Mommyhood, I am sharing an idea that is not new by any means: adding a denim jacket to transition your outfits and give them a taste of spring. Both of the dresses I am sharing were hand me downs and both have long sleeves so I really would wear these outfits on a cooler winter/spring day. I chose non traditional denim…

Spring Dress 3 Ways
I has been a minute since I posted a 3 ways to wear something (last time being this black dress) and I am following it with another dress, this time a print dress. I saw this dress on someone’s Instagram story I think and chose it in a polka dot pattern in blue. There are many colors to chose from and right now it is on sale for $25.99 which I think is what I paid.I really have been trying to find dresses that are versatile and can work for church and for play and that means I have to watch the neckline and skirt length. The ruffles are fun…
