I mentioned on the blog several times this year how I wanted to thrifted a denim short sleeve jacket. After keeping my eyes peeled for one for a few months, I decided that the easiest way to get one was to create one from a regular long sleeve one. So last month, when I noticed this fun denim jacket with an embroidered sunflower patch on the back for just a few dollars, I decided that I would cut the sleeves off to create my own. Why did I want a short sleeve denim jacket? I have several sleeveless dresses that I like to wear to church, but want to cover…

I put away a lot of my denim and pants mid spring until fall as it gets way to hot to wear them during the summer months with the heat and humidity here in Georgia. However, I have a few pairs of lighter denim that I occasionally wear and this pair of thrifted tulip hem denim is one I enjoy pulling out on a cooler summer day. I almost didn’t buy them as they are a little loose around the waist and stretch out some, however it’s nothing that a belt can’t fix. The tulip hem is so fun and I am glad I bought them. As most things from…

Since I went shopping with Jodie at Just BeYoutiful, a local to her boutique on my trip to Arizona, be prepared to see a lot of cute clothes from there on the blog. I spent the majority of my fun money there and came home with some treasures! Today’s outfit is inspired by a Pinterest Look which I will share at the end of this post and I combined new pieces with a couple of my own. Kym does not have a shopping website, but she shares on her Facebook and Instagram pages and you can reach out to her and she will ship. She always have new pieces at…

I never thought I would be looking forward to being 50. I think I dreaded turning 30, I was fine turning 40, but I am pretty proud of being 50. I am in good health (I have been working on my nutrition for the past couple of months and am curious as to how my numbers will look later this month for my yearly physical), I try to move 5 times a week, and have good sleep habits. I am a mother of 4 boys, one in college, one in high school, one in middle school and one in primary school. Yes, they are each at different schools and will…

One of my funnest shopping experience every year is when I shop at Just BeYoutiful Boutique in Surprise, AZ with Jodie. This year, I really struck gold and came home with a lot of fun clothes and I have been wearing them all since then. This look combines 2 pieces from the boutique with my accessories and a cute bodysuit-like tank I found in Scottsdale. I wore this to my son’s yearly physical: he is running cross country again this fall. I was all ready to check out when someone pointed out the bolero and I knew this little piece of sunshine would be a great addition to my closet.…

I have bought a couple sets before and have not worn them much: one was a lounge set which I really only wear the sweatpants, but I do have a crochet skirt and sweater that I love as separates and as a set. On my trip to Arizona, I hit the jackpot at Just be Youtiful boutique. One of my buys was this pretty green set. I really thought I was done shopping, but then we saw the set on the mannequin and I just had to try it! I had a lot of fun choosing accessories for my church outfit! I started out with my sandals and grabbed my…

After a couple weeks of very bright outfits, I decided I wanted to wear some neutral outfits. The fun thing about a thrifted wardrobe is that I have quite a variety of colors, patterns and style and while I do love my boho pieces, I really like a little bit of everything. Ombre Tulle Skirt I absolutely loved this outfit: I wore it on errands and visiting my parents. Both the skirt and the tee are thrifted and the earrings and bracelets were new additions bought in Arizona. Inspired by Janki You know how I love to copy a look and this one from Janki was a no brainer! I…

After wearing red, white and blue for a week around the 4th of July, I decided to continue choosing to wear daily outfits following a color scheme and deciding on yellow in honor of the sunshine!  Yellow for me symbolizes happiness, joy and optimism. I started pulling out everything I could think of that I could wear in the summer and I was surprised how much yellow I have! Some items I have worn more than other over the years, but I still do like all of them. Yellow and Turquoise I bought this dress a couple years ago and I have worn it 3 seasons out of the year.…
