Aqua Sweater 3 Ways for The Ageless Style Link Up
Today’s Ageless Style Link Up brings you Winter Blues! I bought this aqua sweater last year in the juniors section at TjMaxx, the color having drawn my eyes instantly. I wore it last year for the blog with white jeans here, and I thought I would share 3 more ways to wear it this year. Remember that these ideas could work just as well with any bright sweater! I found my inspiration on Pinterest, so I am sharing my inspo pictures too! Black Denim My outfit is loosely based on this picture: I shopped my closet for black jeans and my leopard shoes. 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…

Tulle Skirt 3 Ways for Fall
I was pondering what my goals in blogging were apart from the selfish reasons of having a hobby and having fun with fashion, and one of my goals is to inspire everyone to be more creative with what they have in their closet.

In this case it’s a tulle skirt, but you could really apply these ideas to any solid skirt in your closet very easily. If you are looking for more tulle skirt inspiration these are a few posts where I styled this skirt: with stripes with a white…

A couple months ago, Jodie shared a fun dress on Facebook and IG that had many styling possibilities. I don’t often buy exact things that I see others wear, but it does occasionally happen.

Another Whimsical Outfit with my Tulle Overlay Dress
When my son and I took these pictures, he mentioned that I looked like the character Lucy Gray from the movie The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. And I have to agree with him: it does make me think of her! I do love how this outfit came together and will be wearing it out and about for a date night! I have worn this tulle overlay several times now and will share some pictures at the end of the post to give you some inspiration. I wanted to wear pants under the tulle instead of a skirt like I had done in the past and I did have to…

Linen Skirt for Fall 3 Ways
I came across this linen skirt at Cato’s Fashion this summer and tried it in store, but the size medium was too large. However, I liked the possibilities of the skirt so much that I decided to order it online in XS and have it shipped to the store to save shipping fee. I had no idea that it would take a month for me to receive it as the company was changing both carriers and warehouses. I am glad though that I did not cancel the order because I think there are unlimited ways to style this skirt. With a peasant blouse I could have worn this skirt with…

Ready for Spring, but Wear it Now
Welcome to the Sunday Showcase! I love a piece that can be worn year round: the Denise top is a gorgeous top from Avara that I received when I became an ambassador for the brand last month. I was drawn to it because of the royal blue, the pretty sleeves and how I thought it would fit my style with a little boho vibe with the collar. I have recently learned how important it is to read the sizing for a piece: I could tell from the pictures of the blouse, that it would be boxy and a little cropped to I decided to size down to an XS. The…
