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…

Caite and Kyla Embroidered Shirt 4 Ways
I bought a thrifted shirt some years ago that I loved wearing and even brought to France on our trip in 2019. When I came across this cute Caite and Kyla top on Poshmark at the beginning of February, I added it to my closet. It reminds me of that other top. As per usual, I wanted to wear it different ways to show its versatility so today I am sharing 4 ways it can be worn. I have a few other ideas in mind which include pairing with shorts and over a dress too with a belt! With a Black Pencil Skirt Front tucked in with a black strechy…

Denim Jacket Spring Inspiration
I thought that it would be fun to share some of my past outfits featuring my denim jackets to give you some spring inspiration. For some of us, spring weather has already made an appearance (think the southern states) while some of you may enjoy these ideas for the coming months. I have several denim jackets and I find that each of them has a place in my closet. I wear them for church, during the week and with a variety of outfits. They are great for dressing down an outfit or give you just that needed layer to stay warm. Mustard Denim Jacket (or any colored denim) I had…

Build an Outfit: How to Create an Interesting Look
I sometimes put on just a cute sweater, pants and sneakers and call it a day but some days, I try to create a new outfit from my closet or decide to add extra interest to my look of the day. I am working on spending less and wearing more of what I have creating new outfits with the same pieces. Today, I wanted to share the creation of 3 outfits to show you my process. New Outfit with Blush top The outfit on the right is my first outfit: I had not worn my blush top at all this season and I wasn’t sure if it still had a…

Velvet Joggers: 5 ways
I am all about versatility in my closet so when I picked up these velvet joggers at Kohls before the holidays, I wanted to share that they do not need to be relegated to being worn one month of the year or for special occasions but they can be worn at any time. 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. Frenchie One of my husband’s uncles has always called me Frenchie! And with this pretty tunic and my beret,…

Inspired by Jodie to Style my Yellow Plaid Cardigan 3 ways
A few months ago, Jodie (Jtouchofstyle) shared a yellow plaid cardigan from BelongUSAstyle that she paired with her camo pants. In her post, she shares 5 ways to style those pants but the yellow plaid cardigan really stuck in my mind. When it went on sale during the Christmas season I decided to order it in hopes that I would enjoy it as much as she did. I knew I could pair it with my camo jeans but that it probably would pair with many other things in my closet. With our mild winters (most of the time), I can wear it 3 season out of the year! Here is…

Target Plaid Pants: 5 Ways
I was totally influenced by Jodie (JtouchofStyle) and Cammi (CammiAllen) to buy these pull on plaid pants when they shared them on Instagram. At 20 dollars and a non skinny cut, I just had to have them. I first wore them to a visit to the aquarium and thought about taking blog pictures (I would have needed just a few more) but we were all tired and did not want to get stuck in Atlanta traffic on the way home. So I put together a post to show their versatility but I did learn from my experience: while I like variety and coming up with interesting outfits, I really like…

Cost per Wear: Finding Multiple Ways to Wear an Item
A while back, I created a spreadsheet to keep track of how many times I wore something but I didn’t keep it up for long. Even though I do not keep track of how many wears I wear something, I do make sure that if I spent more than I usually do on an item, that I wear it a lot and find ways to wear it for more than one season of the year. This is the case of these Dahlia pants from XCVI that I shared a couple of weeks ago. I bought them with birthday money and with a coupon but I still feel like I need…

Floral Pants: 5 Ways
It is quite easy to come up with 5 ways to wear something when it is a neutral or a solid color. Is it as easy when it is a pair of printed pants? I found that it was not difficult at all for me to come up with 5 different ways to wear one of my favorite pair of pants I bought this year: my Old Navy pixie ankle skinny pants. With Navy I shared this outfit in this May post after I bought the pants on clearance at Old Navy and I have been finding different ways to wear them ever since. With Yellow The pants have gold…
