Why do I blog and have take time to come up with fun outfits every day? Blogging is a creative outlet that uplifts my mood and can brighten my day. It gives me a purpose that is not tied to my “mommy status”, it’s something that I do for enjoyment and to inspire other to enjoy this thing we all have to do everyday: get dressed. It keeps me grounded to something positive on harder days. It is something that I can have control of, what I chose to wear and share is an expression of who I am. The weather and occasion may dictate what I wear, but I…

Since I came up with a number of new outfits shopping my closet for the week of the 4th, I thought I would share them with you today to remind you to play around with combinations because there are many ways to wear the pieces you already have in your closet. If you click on the links to my other posts featuring red, white and blue outfits (here and here), you will recognize some of those tops and bottoms! This year I concentrated on some of the things I hadn’t worn in a while. Maxi Skirts I have had this thrifted tank forever: the cute pattern and the drape work…

Hello Summer! I was grateful for a longer spring than usual here in Georgia, but now that it is hot, hot, hot, I am wearing quite the variety of outfits, from maxi dresses to flowy pants to shorts. Today, I wanted to share an outfit I wore a Sunday afternoon last month. I wanted to create a comfortable outfit that was a casual but also stylish: I wanted to look put together without letting go of comfort. This is the outfit I came up with and most of the pieces I am wearing are thrifted. These cute sandals finally bit the dust and this was the last time I wore…

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,…

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…

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…

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…
