White and Blue for a Day in NYC
While I did not do a great job packing appropriately for the weather for this trip to Long Island and New York, there are some things that were worn once or twice! Since I wore my newly thrifted jeans and olive pants several times on the trip, I wanted to wear something different when we went into the city. The weather was going to be the perfect, just around 70 and the skies were clear. No rain on the forecast! I settled on my white denim which I wore on our travel day over. It may sound like a strange choice, knowing that I would be sitting on the subway,…

Bright Colored Outfits for Summer
I am an equal color opportunity fashionista when it comes to wearing neutrals and bright colors in my daily outfits. I do go through phases when I am drawn to subdued colors while at other times, I crave colorful clothes. Thankfully, my closet is full of both. As summer settled in, I started reaching for my bright tops and decided to share some of my favorite daily outfits with you. I wore this for a quick outing to our Saturday Farmer’s Market. I usually focus on not browsing (or I will spend too much money), but on this Saturday, the French bakery booth was sold out. I ended up picking…

Tropical Prints for the Ageless Style Link Up
It’s time for a new Ageless Style Link Up and I chose the theme of tropical prints because it’s a perfect summer print and I knew I could shop my closet. Tropical prints are often bright, but you can also find some more subdued colors if that is more your style. Since I am on a bright color kick right now, I chose two of my bright pieces. I chose to style two new outfits with items I had, and I am sharing a collection of other tropical print outfits below for more inspiration. I love the happy color and vibes these outfits give! Flowy Top in Orange Tones Summer…

Caramel Crossbody Bag and Summer White Dress
While I was looking at spring and summer trends for 2025 and getting some outfit inspiration on Pinterest, I can across some outfits featuring clothing pieces and accessories in caramel tones. A warm, pretty brown with golden undertones, caramel is a rich neutral color that I decided I wanted to add to my closet. I promptly went thrifting and found a few pieces such as a corset top, a tank top and a pair of shorts. I didn’t find a purse that appealed to me so I stopped by TJMaxx and came across this pretty crossbody bag! The color was exactly the rich golden brown I was looking for, the…

Caramel Shorts with Chambray Button Down
While pinning some inspiration pictures on Pinterest, I came across this cute little outfits featuring a pair of caramel shorts. To my happy surprise, I found a cute little pair of shorts in my new favorite neutral (caramel) the next day. My youngest and I went to take pictures by the pond for a change of scenery and you definitely can see how the inspiration outfit was the idea behind my outfit. I loosely based my outfit on this and of course, I could have made it a closer replication by wearing my white sneakers and a hat. But now that I have a pedicure, sandals are going to be…

Red for Summer: Shopping my Closet
I think I came across red for summer as a styling idea when I was looking for some spring and summer blog inspiration. I’ve always loved red, and have a few pieces in my closet, but I don’t always reach for them. Writing blog posts and sharing outfits really inspires me to shop my closet and rediscover loved items that I haven’t worn in a while. And I tell you, some outfits really put a little bounce in my step such as this first outfit. Boho Pants and Denim Vest I bought these fun pants on Poshmark after borrowing my friend’s navy pair for a blog post (here) and have…

Bohemian Pants with Denim Vest
There is a theme to some of my outfits this summer, and it is that they have a boho feel! I first shared these pants with a tan vest last year in this post, and this outfit has some similar vibes. Because the pants are so wide at the ankle, I like to have fitted or structured tops with it. The length also force me to wear high wedges with them, so I do not drag the pants on the ground. Today’s outfit turned out perfect for a mild day which was nice because otherwise the denim vest would have been too much. I found another occasion to wear my…

Bohemian White Maxi: 3 Outfit Ideas
I shared this skirt for the first time last month in an outfit I called bohemian dream. I have since worn it several times and have loved it each time. That is a confirmation that this fun maxi skirt was a good buy! Today, I am sharing 3 outfits that were inspired by some outfits I saw on Pinterest. With a Chambray Shirt I saw 2 outfits on Pinterest thatĀ featured a chambray and I liked both. I decided to first wear the skirt without a belt because I knew I would wear 2 outfits with belts for this blog post. I am so glad I am liking this thrifted…

Spring and Summer Purses and Totes
I thought it would be fun to highlight some of the purses that I like to wear in spring and summer. I like to rotate them every couple of weeks as I have a lot of totes and purses that are cute for the warm months. In the winter and fall, I tend to wear a purse for about a month before I alternate it. Here are some recent thrifted finds followed by a couple favorites that I have had a little longer and were not thrifted. Thrifted Fringe Purse What a fun find! The bag is a loose macrame and is very well made. I got it for justĀ …

Thrifted Corset Top 3 Ways
Today, I am sharing a corset top 3 Ways. I thrifted it last month when I was searching for cognac/caramel tone pieces to add to my closet. The price was right ($3) for something that I knew I could wear at least a couple of different ways. When I shared my outfit on my Instagram stories, Jodie reached out to me to collaborate on a blog post featuring different ways to wear a corset top and here is the link to her post. I thought it would be fun to see how I could wear it and it was definitely something I had to experiment with. I had 2 outfit…
