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…

Camo for Spring and Summer
Most often, you associate camo print for fall and cooler months. What are some ways to make your camo appropriate for the warmer months? 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…

Halftee: Review of a Practical and Pretty Layering Solution
I’ve been intrigued by the Halftees some of my blogging friends have shared (in particular Jodie and KellyAnn). I linked their most recent posts, but you can get some spring/summer layering inspiration by searching their blogs with the keyword halftee. Today, I am sharing my Lace Long Sleeve Halftee (gifted) with my thoughts about this product. I reached out to KellyAnn to make sure I chose the appropriate size as I know I usually wear items in the same size. The size Medium fits me perfectly. The Halftee fits close to the body and fits under your bust so there is not riding up or down. The fabric is stretchy…

Button Down Sweater Dress 3 Ways
This year I am hoping to focus on sharing different ways to wear items new and old because we are more likely to be content with what we have when we realize how versatile our wardrobe can be. This would be a newer piece in my closet, I think I picked this Sweater Button Down Dress up the first week of December at Target and sadly it was not on sale. I justified paying full price for it because it is actually of great quality and can be worn so many ways. Today I am just sharing 3 different ways you could wear it, but I can also envision it…

Stripes and Layers
Stripes are here to stay and they sure add interest to outfits. Today, I am sharing ways to layer them in the cooler months. Of course, you can wear them on their own as in the first outfit but they are perfect with all kinds of toppers. I am not sure I have a favorite way. The two tops I wore in these outfits are old. One has 3/4 sleeves while the other is longer at the bottom and at the sleeves. I also have striped tops for summer too. Standalone I like this particular top because it is a little thicker than my cotton one. The button detail and…

Dress Up your Blazer with a Skirt
A few weeks ago, I shared a thrifted blazer my friend Jodie found for me with two types of denim in casual outfits in this post. Today, I am sharing another thrifted blazer that I found at Goodwill on the same day (as she had inspired me to look on my own!). This blazer is in a similar cut, fitted and cropped but in a nice purple color without a collar. I decided to dress up this blazer by creating two outfits with skirts and once again I wanted to incorporate some print mixing which I did in the second outfit. Blazer with Midi Skirt I typically shoot outfits at…
