Transitioning Shorts for Fall with the Sunday Showcase
One of my favorite and one of the easiest way to transition an outfit for fall is to add a denim jacket. I love my denim jackets and I have several washes and colors. I alternate between them depending on my mood and the day. You will see how they and different pairs of shoes change up one dress later one this month. For today, though, I am sharing a summer outfit and how I made it more fall appropriate. This is an outfit I wore at the beginning of August after I found the shorts on the clearance rack at TJMaxx. I love the length and the price ($10)…

Skirt Recap: August Sunday Showcase
Well, that was a month long of fun with skirts! I really enjoyed taking some of these out for a spin and I think my favorites were my midi and maxi outfits since they were with my favorite skirts. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t like the others because I sure did and I tried to wear more than just skirts during the month of July even though they were my outfit of choice this summer. Having a focus on skirts helped me stick to my decision to absolutely buy no clothes or things for the house this month. Each time I would post a blog post, I would tell…

Floating into the 4th of July with the Sunday Showcase
I have been cranking out some blog posts preparing myself for a month of skirts in July with Ada but had to share this fun floaty dress I wore one day in New Orleans for our July Sunday Showcase. I picked it up in a boutique at home thinking it would be nice on hot days with or without a belt. I refrained from adding a belt and let it loose in these pictures. The only thing I will say is that it did need a slip so I stopped by Walmart to purchase one before the pictures. I thought that this garage door accross the street from our rental…

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…

Sunday Showcase: Mothers Day Brunch Dresses
Mother’s day is coming up! Will you dress up and wear a favorite outfit? Will you dress down and wear something cozy? Today, I am sharing one of my dresses that would be one of my top 3 choices to wear. I have worn this dress to a wedding as well as this year Pascha’s night matins and Liturgy. My mom gave it to be a couple of years ago and I really felt pretty wearing it on this occasion. Don’t forget to stop by Ada’s blog to see more about her outfit details! She is wearing the cutest spring dress with her daughters and love how sweet they look.…

Styling a Denim Jacket for the April Sunday Showcase
Welcome to the Sunday Showcase where I join Ada from Elegance and Mommyhood the first Sunday of the month to feature a theme and share some style inpiration with you. Feels like it was just recently that I posted about denim jackets sharing lots of outfit ideas with you. Today, I am showing yet another way to wear your denim jacket (I really could have chosen any of mine) by pairing it with a shorter dress and cowboys boots. Wearing your western boots does not mean that you will look like a cowgirl even if you pair it with a denim jacket which makes both pieces versatile. Don’t forget to…

Styling Emerald Green for Spring: March Sunday Showcase
When Ada suggested wearing emerald green for this Sunday Showcase, I thought about my dark emerald green tank (which would be a little harder to style for the weather) and then this green dress from Target which is a more muted emerald green. Emerald is a slighthly bluish vivid green but since there is a wide range of colors that fit the description, I thought this dress fit the theme well and I decided to style it in a new way. I last featured it in this post last year with a different denim jacket. I took these pictures on a sunny afternoon last week and I couldn’t believe these…

Red for Valentines: February Sunday Showcase
I love it when I can find something new to share for a theme that is a yearly theme. Around the holidays, it is nice to share some outfits that one might wear for a special occasion or a themed outfit so today, I was happy to be able to share a newer dress that hasn’t seen the daylight yet. Today, Ada and I are sharing some red outfits and accessories for the month of Love and Friendship! I typically do not have any luck with maxi dresses on Amazon: they have been too tight in the bodice, been unflattering, have had mistakes in the sewing and I have always…

Winter Whites, Winter Lights: January Sunday Showcase
It always is a little frustrating when you have an outfit in mind for a post and when you try it on, it really doesn’t look like you expected. This is what happened for this post. I have different white pants that I have worn in winter but was trying to create an outfit in the cream family so I thought my cream camo pants would be fun. However, when I tried on my outfit, the proportions just didn’t work. The cream combat boots looked weird, the sweater was too long, it just didn’t look very cute. I was also in a little time crunch for pictures as we…

Silver Belles for the Sunday Showcase
Silver bells or silver belles? Why not both? Ada and I wanted to come up with something a little different for the holidays as we often think of red or green for the holidays and giving silver the spotlight seemed like a fun idea. Since I am shopping my closet till the end of the month (wahoo: this is a record for me, that will make it 2 and 1/2 months!), I turned to my shelves and hangers for inspiration. I was pretty sure I would wear this asymetrical top which I first wore here but what to pair with it? I tried several skirts but nothing I had was…
