3 Ways to wear Leggings
Wearing leggings as part of an outfit does not mean that you have to look like a slob: you can look put together weather you are wearing them casually with a sweatshirt and sneakers or they can be part of a really cute outfit. Think about outfits where you would be wearing black jeans. I just make sure that my bum is covered to keep the look put together and modest. Casual Look This is probably the most dressed down you will see me in leggings: I combine them with a cozy but nice sweatshirt and try to choose a pair of cute sneakers. With my utilitarian hiking shoes, I…

Neon Pink Sweater 3 Ways
I have just had a ball finding fun sweaters this winter! The week before Christmas, I stopped by Target on their 30% off day and bought this beauty for $15. Yes, I had planned to not shop for a whole month, but with all stressful things happening at the house with elderly ill parents, I am giving myself grace. I wore the first outfit the day after I bought the sweater. I probably have worn the sweater 3 to 4 times since I bought it. Pink and Olive I have always enjoyed wearing the color olive because it really pairs well with everything. I love it with stripes especially, but…

Halftee Looks: a Closet Simple Solution
This past year, I have received different gifted items from different businesses and I would say my most used items are my Halftees! While my favorite Halftee is the simple white cap sleeve one (I bought one in the spring and just purchased another one to replace it since I wear it so much), these two new ones are really fun! Meet the Peekaboo navy halftee and the Puff Sleeve blush pink halftee. These halftee are not only practical but very pretty! Puff Sleeve Pink Halftee All I can say is cute, cute cute! The light pink is really pretty and the puff detail is fun without being overpowering. The…

Styling Clara SunWoo Liquid Leather Pants for Summer
I have been eyeing the liquid leather collection from Clara SunWoo and when they last reached out for a late summer collaboration, I couldn’t wait to select this pair of liquid leather skinny pocket pants! This knit fabric is neither leather nor pleather and is very comfortable and stretchy and has the look of leather. I am most excited to wear them with my fall slouch sweaters and booties, but they are going to be fun for cooler summer or spring days too! I wanted to give you a variety of styling ideas both dressy and more casual. I will start with my favorite which would be very easy to…

Clara SunWoo Ankle Petal Pants 4 Ways
I am back with a 4 ways how to style blog post. I love getting more wear from the items in my closet especially if they are investment pieces. While these were gifted, I still like to make sure that an item I chose for a collaboration is something that I will wear in my everyday life. These pants are way more versatile than you might expect from their fun print. They are really comfortable with an elastic waistband and of course, the fabric used is fluid and wrinkle free. For pairing with colorful prints, my favorite graphics are my white ones. I enjoy wearing yellow with navy, so this…

Brindle Boutique Set, 2 ways
I always find it difficult to narrow down my choices and make a selection when I am doing a collaboration with a brand. Brindle Boutique kindly allowed me to choose an item for the end of summer to share with you all and I was so very tempted by the new fall looks. However, living here in Georgia, I knew it would be a couple more months before I could wear a cardigan (my 2nd choice) and while I was tempted by a pretty piece of jewelry, I wanted to choose something that I would get a lot of wear from. So I chose this pants/top set that also comes…

Clara SunWoo Wrap Top 4 Ways
I first shared this Clara SunWoo wrap top a few weeks ago, but I knew right away I wanted to show how versatile it could be. Today I am sharing 4 ways I have worn it (or plan to wear it) and these ideas of course can be translated to what you have in your closet with this or any other navy top. Two of the details I really like about this blouse are the cap sleeves and the asymetrical hem. Navy of course is considered a neutral so it really pairs well with different prints, textures and colors. With a Printed Skirt (or any skirt) I have always loved…

Jodie and I are sharing some inspiration to help you have fun with camo in spring and summer. When thinking of ideas of outfits to share, my first thought was brights! Instead of pairing camo with darker colors, choose colors you associate with summer to brigthen it up. Camo with Orange In the past, both Jodie and I have paired camo with orange. Here are those outfits. My outfit at that time was inspired by Paula from Dimples on my What. Like me, Jodie added some…

Clara Sun Woo: A Versatile Jumpsuit for Spring
Clara Sun Woo is a mother and daughter design team based out of New York. Their clothing collection is very comfortable and made of a soft stretch knit fabric that is easy to wear everyday and is exceptional for traveling (here is a timeline of their story). I was approached for an Instagram collaboration but really wanted to share this beautiful jumpsuit on my blog too as it is truly going to be something I will wear often this summer. The first thing that caught my eye when browsing was the halter style of the Grecian Halter Pocket Jumpsuit. I find halter tops very flattering and the back of this…

Prints for the March Sunday Showcase
Spring is in the air! I wanted to share some pretty prints that would give a nod to spring but would still be appropriate for the end of winter. While thrifting a week in February, I came across this Zara dress new with tags. I was attracted by the large blue print against the cream background and while I knew it would be too short to wear as a dress, I could envision it as a tunic or a jacket. I was correct: after trying it on, I found out it was a winner. The dress has buttons and a tie at the waist which really makes it versatile. My…
