Classic Black + White Style Inspiration


Happy Friday!

I cannot believe this is the last Friday of February.  We are in the midst of snowy weather - but it is supposed to get up to the 50s this weekend.

Black and white are two of my favorite "colors".  They pretty much make up 90% of my wardrobe.  I wear my black jeans pretty much each week - a few times a week, along with a white sweater.  It is classic - and just my favorite.

Spring Staple: Tie Dye Sweatshirt

mom jeans, tie dye sweatshirt, prada bag, chanel lipgloss, charm bracelet, spring outfit style


SHOP THE LOOK
4. Satchel // 5. Lipgloss // 6. Ankle Booties (Up to 60% off)

As Nina Garcia on Project Runway said - “Tie Dye is having a real moment.”  And, I will definitely agree. Tie dye has become the replacement to camo, leopard and snake print this spring season. Tie dye sweatshirts and sweaters are everywhere!

I styled this tie dye sweatshirt outfit with the popular white ankle booties and light wash straight "mom" jeans.  I bought those ankle booties on sale (right now they are up to 60% off) - and I love the white color, it’s not pure white but a perfect ivory/cream color.  Also, a style tip - I am starting to see rolled cuffs on jeans - a throwback to the early 90’s.  Rolling these jeans with the ankle booties would be a great way to style them.  (And for those us not as tall - it is a great way to get the right length.)



My encouragement today is about contentment.  One of my goals this year was to read a new book each month.  The book I am currently reading a commentary on Philippians on how to be joyful.  I really liked this excerpt from the book. 

"Contentment is not escape from the battle, but rather an abiding peace and confidence in the midst of the battle. “I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content” (Phil. 4:11). Two words in that verse are vitally important—“learned” and “content.” The verb learned means “learned by experience.” Paul’s spiritual contentment was not something he had immediately after he was saved. He had to go through many difficult experiences of life in order to learn how to be content."

I shared in my Instagram post that I think I have had enough winter and I am ready for spring.  However, right now, we are in the middle of a snow storm - with up to a half of foot of snow.  Last night, I drove home in a white out of snow - with some of the biggest snow flakes blowing towards the car - blinding my ability to see the road.  I wish I could have taken a picture of it - it looked so cool - but not fun at all to drive in!

Spring Trends: Mom Jeans, White Boots, Coach Bag

white ankle booties, striped sweater, mom straight jeans, spring jean trends

Happy Monday!

Just a few spring trends - mom jeans, white boots, and a Coach bag - to create this stylish spring look.  And, this striped sweater is only $25!

SHOP THE LOOK
1. Striped Sweater (Only $25) // 2. Bracelet // 3. "Mom" Jeans



I thought white boots might be a quick trend - but I have a feeling they are here to stay for a little longer.  These white ankle booties are on sale - and would make the perfect spring shoe.  Also, "mom" jeans are starting to replace the skinny jeans.  I still love my skinny jeans - and I am not sure I am ready to embrace the straight leg jeans just yet that I wore in the 90's again - but I have a feeling I will at some point.  And, how about the retro Coach bag that is making a big comeback.  If you still have your coach bag from the 90's - bring it out of storage - it's back in style again!

Floral Dresses, Spring Break, Best Deals

Happy Friday!

The days are getting longer - and for some reason, it gives me the illusion that spring is coming very soon.  I know we are few months away from warmer weather - but there is hope!




Since it seems like everyone is either planning, packing, or leaving on a spring break trip to somewhere warm - I thought I would share 3 spring break floral dress outfits - and ironically, they are all styled with a denim jacket.

HIGHLIGHTS OF MY WEEK
1. My husband and I watched this movie - and I really enjoyed it!  I would watch it again.

2. We also watched this program about Amazon, which made me think - am I doing the right thing by shopping at Amazon?

3. I also watched this favorite movie of mine - that is over 25 years old - but still so heartwarming!

4. I also re-discovered why I love to shop at Walmart for clothes (like this animal print sweater I want to buy).  Years ago - I used to buy clothes that I wore to work (even business meetings) at Walmart.  They always had great jackets - for cheap.  (And, ironically my favorite dress pants I used to buy at Victoria’s Secret.  Yes, VS used to have the best dress pants - they were washable and fully lined!)

5. I am shopping for home decor - and I found this cute lamp I want to buy.



MOST POPULAR ITEMS
This floral dress on sale for only $21.

This comfy spring sweater.

This best selling ombre sweatshirt.

This v-neck sweater I bought for $14.

These fun leopard sneakers.

LEOPARD ANIMAL PRINT SNEAKERS

I love this chunky new spring sweater.

Pink Sweatshirt, Crop Flare Jeans + Animal Print Sneakers


Happy Wednesday!

One of my goals with this blog was to stay true to my style.  In putting this spring outfit together, I am drawn to the overall style - but I step back and wonder - would I wear this?  The twist front sweatshirt - I would wear.  Would I wear it in pink?  Maybe.  I tend to gravitate towards white or black, but a pop of color is nice once and awhile.  As far as sneakers, I love the way they look on everyone, but I have not gotten in to wearing them; however, I really like those animal print ones - with the shiny silver.

So, yes, I might wear this look. Also, I love skinny jeans - but I know the jean trend is shifting to more of a straight leg, with a crop/flare.  I just ordered a pair of crop flare jeans - so we will see how it goes - and if I keep them.

Top 5 Pinterest Outfits for Valentine's Day



See full post HERE

Happy Friday - and Happy Valentine's Day!

I thought it would be fun to pull together some pink and red style inspiration for Valentine's Day.  These are just a few of my favorite looks and top Pinterest pinned outfits that I have styled over the years.  If I was to pick a favorite - I am not sure I could - I love them all!  Putting outfit collages together is a lot of work - but it is something I still love to do!   I could literally work on creating these all day long, if I could.

Remember a few weeks ago when I mentioned that my brand new computer was not working - well, one very long call to customer service, two trips to the Apple store, one week without a computer, three times of erasing/re-installing EVERYTHING - and the problem does not seem to be fixed.  I have spent WAY TO MUCH TIME on this problem - and Apple will not stand behind their product and just give me a new machine.  I have owned nine Apple computers over the years - and this machine is definitely a "lemon".  Apple has put me through so much protocol - and I am about to loose it!  If I have to set up my computer and re-install and set up all my applications, fonts, presets, etc. one more time - I might just cry in the corner and just give up.  I have had it!

So, if you wonder if I go MIA that's where I am...

Hearts for Valentine's Day + Last Chance Winter Sales





This is my favorite jewelry brand - and I just might buy that charm bracelet.



It's Thursday - and we are in the middle of a snow storm.  It took a long time for winter to show-up, but the past two weeks it is definitely winter.

My encouragement for today.

I think we can all relate to those times of "brokenness" in our lives.  When we do not understand what is happening and we wonder why there is pain and struggles in our life.  Tomorrow is Valentine's Day - which is supposed to be a day of love and all things happy - but for some it is a time filled with loss, heartache, pain, hurt...

My encouragement today is if you are going through a rough time to look at the situation from God's perspective - what is it's purpose - what can you learn from it - how can you grow...

"God breaks us to mature us. Spiritual growth has three aspects: change, growth, and brokenness... If we are to change and grow, we must be willing to move away from what has been holding us back, pushing us down, or keeping us from being in a position to receive God’s best. We must be willing to give up our hold on the things to which we have been clinging with all our might. This often requires being broken."

Taken from the book - Finding God's Blessings in Brokenness - that I enjoyed - and has beautiful photography on each page.

How to Style Black with Snake Print



 SHOP THE LOOK
V-Neck Sweater (Only $14) // Black Jeans // Snake Booties (50% off)

I just picked up this v-neck sweater for a bargain - it is currently only $14! And, those black jeans are my favorite brand and pair.


NYC street style black jeans black tank snake bootiesSHOP THE LOOK

Happy Wednesday!

Those black jeans are my "go to" jeans.  I wear them several times during the week.  I tend to gravitate towards an all black outfit, which I find very classic.  I have found that I like mixing in snake print with the black - it adds a little texture and contrast.  I thought it would share two options - a summer look and winter one.  This summer picture was taken last year on my trip to NYC. (NYC is one of my favorite places to visit. I was on my way to see Wicked - hence the extra layer of warmth - the sweater tied around my bag - for a freezing cold theater in the middle of summer.)
 
 In the summer look, I love my snake booties.

Those ankle snake booties that I am wearing are one of my favorites. They are comfy and I always get compliments when I wear them.  Also, that crossbody bag is the BEST!  It converts between a crossbody, shoulder, waist and wristlet - and it's 30% off!
