Wedding Attire with Tulle Dress
A fresh haircut! I always feel so stylish the day of my haircut! It had been almost 4 month and knowing that my friend was going out of town for a month, I texted her to see when she could get me in! With a fresh haircut, I wanted to take advantage of taking some pictures with an outfit I am planning to wear to a wedding this September. This is one of two weddings I will be attending, and while the other one’s outfit is going to take more thought (I am the sponsor which means I will be standing behind the bride the whole wedding), this idea came…

Summer Outfits Inspired by Pinterest
When I want to curb my desire to go thrifting or shopping for clothes in general, I turn to Pinterest for some outfit inspiration! Here are several other posts where I shared outfits inspired by Pinterest. spring outfits 2026 white pants looks western look beach pants and stripes This week, I am sharing outfits I wore mid June and as you will see, some follow the Pinterest photo inspiration closely while others just follow the general idea of the outfit.

Old Clothes, New Outfits
While I enjoy my thrifting outings and adding some new to me things to my closet, there’s nothing like the high of creating a new outfit from pieces that have been in my closet for a while and thinking: ” oh, I really like this outfit!”. Such a moment happened a couple weeks ago, when I was planning outfits for the week after our vacation and decided to wear a couple pieces I hadn’t worn much or at all in a while. I really haven’t gotten rid of much this past year, but I also have been thrifting a little more than in the past, so I am working on…

4th of July Outfit Inspiration 2026
I love shopping my closet for 4th of July inspiration as you can tell from past posts ( summer patriotic looks, patriotic looks 2024 and here), so today, I am once again bringing you some ideas to remind you that you probably have more than one patriotic combination in your closet. Have you planned anything special for our country’s 250th birthday? I am sure we will head to our 4th of July parade and we will grill some yummy hamburgers (my secret recipe). I will have to pick up some sparklers for the boys and we will probably watch the fireworks from our big neighborhood hill. Tulle Skirt I have…

Short Sleeve Denim Jacket
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…

Polka Dots and Stripes with the Ageless Style Link Up
Today’s theme was a fun one: polka dots with stripes, now that is a fun combo! I knew right away that I wanted to wear this skirt of mine since I barely wore it last year after having worn it a lot on our trip to the republic of Georgia the year prior (you can see those outfits here). What I like about this skirt is the fun hem, the bright colors and the polka dot sash which adds a little bit of whimsy. I thrifted the skirt in 2024. I wore this outfit to church a few weeks ago, and decided to accessorize with the colors in the outfit:…

Thrifted Tulip Hem Pants for the Botanical Gardens
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…

Printed Shorts 3 Ways
I love thrifting! I don’t always find something when I make a quick stop by the thrift store, but I often find a couple items that I love. One of those things last month was this pair of shorts. I had a few years when I did not enjoy wearing a shorts (probably because of the fit of the ones I had), but after thrifting several pairs last year (or the year before), I have worn shorts regularly throughout the summer. So I knew these would be a great addition to my summer rotation. Dressy Outfit A blazer instantly dresses up a pair of shorts as do accessories. So I…

Another Boho Look: 3 pieces from Just BeYoutiful Boutique
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…

It’s my Birthday! I am 50!
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…
