7 Day Skirt Challenge with Is This Mutton
I love participating in Gail’s (Is This Mutton) fall skirt challenge because it gets me out of my denim fall-back in autumn. I love the idea of wearing all my clothes more, so this challenge is a great opportunity to try some new combos using what I have in my closet. Everything is old apart from the tulle skirt which I purchased early November. What can I say? I absolutely love this skirt: I featured it in this blog post for an early fall look while at the beach and I plan to wear it for Christmas in an edgy look. I want another tulle skirt now! I’ve had this…

Christmas Look: All the Textures for the Sunday Showcase
I am excited to wear some fun holiday looks this month: I think I might do a week of Hallmark movie inspired looks on IG. It’s just fun to pull out all the velvet, the tulle and pretty colors. I have my eye on a couple pieces with sequins at TJmaxx if they still have them when I stop by the store. Today’s look started with this fun sweater I bought at Cato’s fashion last year on the clearance rack. The fun texture, the silver color, the bow caught my eye and while I didn’t wear it last year, I plan to wear it Christmas eve this year and maybe…

7 Day of Skirts: Transitioning from Winter to Spring
As spring approaches, I am once more excited to wear skirts and things I have not reached for in the past few months. Our weather in Georgia is still all over the place with many pretty days but also cooler rainy days. So I am not really wearing just my spring skirts as much as the ones that I think transition from one season to the other. I am not ready for sandals yet, so what you will notice is that many of these skirts are paired with sneakers which are my shoe of choice right now. I wanted to wear this thrifted sweater skirt one more time before I…

7 days of Dresses: 2nd Winter Edition
As spring nears, I become bored with wearing jeans and sweaters and get excited once again to wear dresses. Our weather in Georgia has mostly been mild this winter but I haven’t worn dresses that very often. So I decided to wear dresses for a week once again as I had in this post earlier this winter and here are the outfits I enjoyed wearing this go around. Once again, I am sharing some friends who joined in, of course including Jodie once again more as well as Cathie, Grace and Debi. Spring/Summer Dresses My favorite dresses are probably my maxi dresses. Both of these are thrifted and I really…

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…

Winter Break Outfits: Sweatshirts and Jackets
It was fun to plan a comfortable but stylish winter break wardrobe! I packed a little more than what I wore but that gave me some options. I typically pack more when we drive versus when we fly. Of course, I looked at the forecast first and since we were planning to go snow tubing, I planned accordingly. These outfits feature sweatshirts and jackets! Sweatshirts A thrifted tunic length sweatshirt worked great for my traveling outfit. I drove the 5 1/2 hour drive so my husband could get some work done on the way to North Carolina. I did throw out these thrifted boots after the trip as they were…

Thrifted Outfit Head to Toe for less than $25
When I put this outfit together, I realized that it was thrifted head to toe. Who says you cannot dress on trend on a budget? After most of January shopping my closet, the temptation to shop with some gift cash was too strong and feeling a little moody the last week of that month, I went on some thrifting adventures. I did purge and sold a few pieces that I hadn’t worn in the last 2 years, so my closet reflects more who I am now. The 2 new thrifted pieces in this outfit are the pants and top. Both were found at the consignment store, Uptown Cheapskate, the top…

Kindness with the Ageless Style Link Up
I always enjoy seeing what theme my Ageless Style friends and I are going to share with you! This month’s theme was kindness and what better way to style it than to choose my Be Kind sweatshirt! I shopped my closet and took advantage of our vacation in North Carolina this past weekend to take some pictures. I wore sweatshirts every day and have curated a comfy, but stylish collection over the years. This particular one is several years old and an Amazon find. I often wear it when running, but occasional wear it for a casual outfit. I don’t like feeling sloppy or frumpy so I chose to pair…

Camo and Turquoise Outfit
Last month, I receive several items for my collaboration with ShopLcTv. One of pieces I chose was this pair of turquoise earrings. Just a few weeks before, at Christmas, my mom gifted me my grandmother’s silver and turquoise necklace. My grandparents had lived in Arizona and California and my grandmother had several Native American pieces. I actually had never seen this necklace. I’ve been wanting to wear both of these pieces together since I received them so this day was the day. I wore a camo tunic and camo wedge sneakers, turquoise and white. While turquoise doesn’t stand out as much against the camo pattern, I really like the combination.…

Valentine’s Look with the Sunday Showcase
I am not one to wear pink and red hearts and holiday themed shirts and outfits. However, I do enjoy wearing outfits that do give a nod to celebrating so when Ada suggested hearts for our February Showcase, I decided to add something new to my closet. Since I did not want something that screamed Valentines, I went into one of my favorite local consignment stores to see what I could find. I was pleasantly surprised when I came across this cute JCrew sweatshirt for $13. I decided to pair it with my new TJMaxx clearance find: a true wrap midi leopard skirt. I did spend some money last month…
