How to Style Your Blazer for a Casual Look
This year, I realized that despite all of my lightweight jackets (and I have quite a few), I didn’t have a single blazer. Jodie, one of the most creative bloggers I know, suggested to search for one while thrifting and inspired by her, I did find one that I will style next month. On her hand, she searched for one t0o and found this adorable polka dotted one. You should have seen us exchanging texts and pictures as I was running with running club. Not exactly conducive to texting and looking at pictures but that was when she was in store at Goodwill in Arizona! Today, we are both once…

What Shoes to Wear with a Denim Dress
About a month ago, Jodie (JtouchofStyle) and I entered a giveaway hosted by Kancan USA and we both won an item of our choice!

Styling Silky Cargo Pants 3 ways
Anytime I add something to my closet, I hope for it to be versatile and be able to wear it several ways. It is always a little more difficult with certain items that might be considered more dressy or have a different texture such as silk, sequins or certain prints. So when I chose these silky cargo pants as part of my giveaway win from I’ll have what she is wearing, I knew I wanted to think about different ways to wear them (I couldn’t find the joggers on the website anymore so they are probably sold out but this can give you inspiration with your own joggers).

Wearing your Shoes with Multiple Outfits
In my March/April clothing budget, I shared I had bought 5 pairs of shoes during that time period. While one was not a good buy as they are really a little small therefore not really comfortable, I wanted to share different ways I am wearing each pair of shoes and highlight them to show how they are versatile and are worthy of a space in my closet. Time and Tru Walmart Sneakers This pair replaced two pairs of white sneakers I had that were showing some wear but mostly I did not find very comfortable anymore. These new sneakers are comfortable, trendy and very versatile. I wear my regular size…

4 Ways to Wear a Floral Skirt
While we were on vacation, I found two pretty floral items and today I am sharing the floral skirt I picked up at the TjMaxx in Maryville, TN. On a side note, that was the best TjMaxx I have ever been in. My pictures don’t really do this skirt justice and I will say that I prefer the fitted options with it but I wanted to show some variety in styling. Casual with a Sweatshirt I wore this outfit while on vacation: we had intended to go to our friends’ church on a spur of the moment and I did not have plain shoes nor a skirt. So I picked…

So today I am sharing a few dressy ways to wear them as well as some casual looks. Since I had to change after each picture, we took these pictures around the house instead of a pretty location.
