How to Style a Strapless Tulle Dress for Everyday
While I love this dress styled on its own (I loved my birthday post outfit!), I do love the idea of wearing it for every day. So, this summer, I styled it for church and for errands too. It’s just a matter of toning the dress down a little and layering over and (and I will need to try under it too)! Here are some ideas that you can also use with other fancy dresses, so you can wear them for every day. Layer a Blouse Over This was my first idea on how to style the dress and I was so glad the outfit turned out as I imagined.…

2 More Ways to Wear a Sari Skirt
While I did buy some new clothes this summer, it also has been my goal to wear as much as I can in my closet. I have been wearing more skirts and dresses in the past few weeks, and I decided it was time to wear my sari skirt. I have shared 5 ways to wear it in this post and wore it with a denim jacket last fall here and one more way here. Now, I do not remember all of the ways to style it, but have a cheat sheet with instructions. Skirt with a Sash This was an easy way to wear my skirt: tie the wrap…

Dress over a Dress: Tulle and Shirt Dress
Now this was a fun outfit! All summer long, I have been going through my closet making sure I wear a little bit of everything and will pull out a piece to style and wear in a new way (or old way sometimes). I bought this tulle overlay dress a year ago (and wore it three times on the blog), so I wanted to find another way to wear. Since I had worn it over a skirt (here), over jeans (here) and under a skirt (here), I wanted to try something else. I let it hang in the front of my closet for a few days, and then inspiration struck!…

Coral Pants Multiple Ways
I thrifted these colorful pants early in March and love the fun spring color as well as how soft they are. I was excited to see that these Jcrew pants were straight cut and not skinny and that I only paid $2.50 for them. I wore them about once a week the weeks after I bought them and I am sure they will continue to appear in my daily outfits. Here are some ways I have worn them. With a Distressed Topper When I thrifted these, I already had plans to pair them with this top as the color is reflected in the flowers. Spring around here is very difficult…

Outfit Inspiration with Yellow Jacket: Colorful Jacket Part 5
Welcome to part 5 of my series on how to wear a colorful jacket! I shared ways I have styled a blue jacket and a purple blazer, a polka dot blazer and a white denim jacket on the blog this month. The possibilities are quite endless once you realize that a colorful jacket does not have to match your outfit: it can be a contrast color and add a lot of fun to a simple outfit. I have had this denim jacket for 4 years if not 5. Would you have imagined this yellow jacket with all of these colors? How I wore it recently I decided to go with…

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…
