Outfit Inspiration with White Jacket: Colorful Jackets Part 4
I’ve always found a white denim jacket to be an easy piece to style. This thrifted one from a couple years ago replaced an older thrifted one that was starting to look grungy. I would say that my favorite way to wear a white topper like this is over a dress: to me it represents spring style at its best. I went to Pinterest to find some inspiration to create today’s outfit! One of the first outfits I saw had my name! And then since I haven’t been wearing my skinnies much, I decided to diy some rips in this pair! They would then be my edgy jeans! I still…

Outfit Inspiration with Polka Dot Jacket: Colorful Jacket Part 3
We have made it to the last installment of my series! Today, I am sharing outfits with my thrifted polka dot blazer, but of course, these can apply to any printed blazer. It is always fun to go back in time to style how I have styled something so I have really enjoyed this series. I also is a reminder of what I do enjoy wearing as the variety of outfits and how I still like them is a testament of some good buys. After looking at these outfits, I decided to pair my polka dot blazer and do a little print mixing! I was not feeling awesome when I…

Outfit Inspiration with Purple Jacket: Colorful Jacket Part 2
I have worn this thrifted purple blazer a lot! I love the 3/4 sleeves, the cropped and fitted cut and the pretty shade of purple. You can tell this is one of my favorite toppers as I have 6 pictures for extra inspiration! Again, since most of the outfits below have paired the blazer with dresses and skirts, I decided to pair it with pants, this time with my plaid pants! I wore this to a baby shower! I love my thrifted La Vie est Belle tee: the day I found it, I also found a C’est Bon tee in white! I had been looking for fitted tees with French…

Outfit Inspiration with Blue Jacket: Colorful Jackets Part 1
This month, I decided to share outfit inspiration with some of the colorful jackets or blazers in my closet: most of the ideas will probably work with toppers of other colors in your closet. Hopefully, these posts will encourage you to put together some colorful outfits this spring. I really enjoyed tan and deeper colors this winter, but now I am ready to wear some color! I am sharing one new outfit for each of these as well as other ways I have worn the toppers in the past! I will feature a different jacket each Monday for the month of March. Since the 2 ways I have worn the…

Outfit Inspiration with a Neutral Long Cardigan
I have had this tan cardigan for several years now, having bought it at Target fall of 2022. As I saw it hanging in my closet, I decided to see how I wore it in the past and to wear it a few more ways this year. The oatmeal color makes it versatile and the length and weight make it a cozy layer. I have found it looks great over pants and leggings, but is cute as a dress too. The first combo I am sharing is a simple one of leggings, tunic and cardigan. I really like the combo of black and tan, it’s simple yet classic. Because the…

Thrifted Vest 2 Ways
When I thrifted this vest in December, it reminded me of a sweater/jacket that had a similar look that I wore it for many years. Just as this one, it was in a tan color which I found very versatile. With our weather here in Georgia, sometimes it is nice to have a layer that you can add to a light top/sweater to give you that extra warmth without overheating. I wanted to share two different looks: I have worn them both this past month. Vest with Skirt This outfit was inspired by one of Jodie’s looks: when she shared her outfit I thought of my skirt and bodysuit right…

I had a blush pink clutch that…

Thrifted Jacket 3 Ways
I have been working hard at limiting any retail shopping and concentrating on find cool pieces while thrifting. If you have seen my jacket section in my closet, you know I do not need another light jacket. However, while browsing at my local Park Ave thrift store, I noticed this cute little jacket hanging and having my half off coupon in hand, I just couldn’t pass it up. The jacket is an olive brown and while all polyester (not my favorite but this jacket is fun) it doesn’t feel like it. The sleeves are a gauzy material and the top part and lapel feel almost suede-like. I am sharing 3…

Thrifted Ruffle Skirt: 3 Ways
Today, I am sharing some outfit inspiration with a skirt I thrifted a couple of months ago. I had found myself mainly wearing my light colored denim skirt, so when I noticed this one while thrifting I tried it on and immediately liked the stretchy denim and fun hem. The length is great for color days, but the skirt is definitely apppropriate year round. Of course, each idea shared here can be applied to any denim skirt: the purpose of these post is to encourage you to shop your closet for new combinations! With a light neutral I have a couple of tan sweaters and tops (well, a lot more…

Lounge Set 3 ways
I don’t often buy clothes from Amazon, but after seeing many ladies sharing this lounge set, I decided to try it. I like the idea of it for weekends and also for travel days. A set can be worn in a variety of ways, so there is some value to that. Black is a classic and less likely to get dirty (cream looked pretty, but cream on an airplane or car ride made less sense for me), so I settled on that for a color. I bought it while it was on sale and ordered 2 sizes to decide whether I like S or M best. I settled on the…
