Polka Dots for Summer with the Sunday Showcase Link Up
After taking about a week break from the blog to spend time with family on our vacation, I am back! I have so much to write about our week in New Orleans from sharing some outfits to some of the fun adventures we had. So be prepared: June is going to be all about New Orleans! But today, Ada and I are sharing some polka dots for summer! I actually do not have many items with polka dots in my closet, I think I only have 2 possibly 3. I bought this dress 3 years ago when I was influenced by Lisa from Coast to Coast who shared the dress…

Monochromatic Fuschia Look
This past month, I entered a few giveaways and I was very happy to win a $100 giveway from I’ll have what she’s wearing! It actually took me a minute to decide what I wanted to get as there were a number of things that caught my eye. One of the first pieces I chose was this fuschia top with a v-neck. I wore it with a denim skirt for a reel and have another idea for a July post but today, I thought it would be fun to share a bright monochromatic look. My son and I went to the “duck pond” to take some pictures and I have…

Picnic by the River
On my birthday weekend in Ellijay, GA we spent a few hours by the river having a picnic, relaxing and jumping in the river. The subdivision we were staying at was very large and included a campground by a river. My son and I walked down and discovered how pretty the area would be for lunch and after changing into clothes that would work for our activities, we returned with food and the rest of the gang. This was the sign by the entrance. This area was well maintained with sites for camping or RVs hookups and a large bathroom/shower area. There was a playground and some picnic areas too.…

September Date Night Look
I have been trying to share some date night looks as I have been trying to go out more often (as in at least every other month) and spend some quality time with my husband. You got a sneak peek of this look on Wednesday in my post about our overnight stay at Amicalola Falls lodge as I actually wore this outfit for dinner. I typically shop my closet for date night or sometimes buy a new top which was the case this time. I found this cute top at Gabe’s for less than $8. I am not sure how long it will last but I will say that most…

Inspired by Marsha in the Middle: Influenced to Add to my Closet
I discovered Marsha’s blog Marsha in the Middle just last month and in the first post I read, Scarves and necklaces and bracelets, oh my, she shared this cute pair of green light weight pants which I couldn’t resist! I have been trying to expand my pant collection to include a variety in cuts and colors and these pants just called my name. Marsha is a great writer and shares a variety of topics as she shares outfits so please be sure to drop by and visit her blog. The two things that struck me about these pants were the hem shape which is really flattering and the color: a…

Fab 40s: Inspired by Candy Crush
So this month, it was my turn to chose the theme for our Fab 40s group! The Fab 40s is is a group of five fashion bloggers from around the globe. Each month we choose a different theme with the goal of taking on style trends and showing how we each interpret and incorporate them into our own lives. With five widely varied views, you are certain to find something that speaks to you each month and encourages you to continue to have fun with fashion after the age of 40. I worked backwards and decided I want to wear this skirt that I was planning to donate (pleats do…

A Few of my Favorite August Looks
Today I am sharing a few of my favorite outfits that I wore this past month. If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen most of these or will see the rest of them next week. I am a little behind with sharing my daily outfits as I share my blog post outfits too! I have worn less dresses this month apart from church days and I have been drawn to my pants on days I know I will not be outdoors. Pants I am missing my pants! So I pull them out every once in a while even though it is still the middle of summer weather!…

Inspired by Pinterest and a Pair of Cowboy Boots
I was reading a post by Grace (Graceful Rags) and KellyAnn (This Blonde Shopping Bag) about wearing your clothes and getting inspiration from Pinterest and I decided that my cowboy boots needed a spin! I looked through my pins and picked one that I could recreate fairly easily by shopping my closet. I was actually tempted to buy a brown tank but that would have defeated the purpose of this exercise. I have been wearing all of the things in my closet and making sure to pull some things that I haven’t worn much in the last years. I love my cowboy boots, they were my most expensive clothing purchase…

Back to School with the Ageless Style Link Up
This month theme is back to school styles and I thought I would share an everyday look I would wear for school pick up! I usually am ready and dressed for morning school drop but as I have gotten used to sleeping in some this summer, I am not sure it will take me to get back into that routine. School for us started on August 11 and while I am excited to be on a schedule again, I am going to miss the laid back atmosphere we had around the house this summer. I decided to share this pair of Chico’s wide legged cropped jeans and at 5’4″ they…
