Stepping Out of Summer: 20 of My Favorite Summer Outfits
As the Fall season is upon us and it is still way too hot in northern New York for my perimenopausal self to be donning the latest in autumnal fashions, I thought I would share a little roundup of some of my favorite summer outfits that never made it onto the blog. And if it is still scorching where you live, maybe you will find some late season inspiration as our summer fashion ideas are becoming stale. So to kick off September and the final days of summer…here are some of my favorites from this season! (I generally post my outfits daily on Instagram so if you follow me there,…

On the Edge of the Week Link Up #4 and Tee Shirt Giveaway
Today I am sharing with you a classic all-American summer look. Cut off distressed denim shorts, a plain white tee shirt, and footbed sandals. I feel like I stepped straight out of John Mellencamp’s 1980’s but with a modern twist. I just need a black moto jacket for cool summer nights and a pack of smokes! Ha. That’s where the modern vibe comes…no smokes! I am not going to go off on a smoking soap box. We all have our vices. No judgments coming from here. Outfit details: Tee: Old Navy Swing Tee Shorts: Target (Mossimo from last year) Sandals: Minnetonka from Famous Footwear (from last year) Belt:Walmart (from last…

5 Days, 5 Outfits, 3 Style Challenges
I think I have mentioned in previous posts that I like to use Instagram Style Challenges as inspiration for choosing my outfits on days when I have no idea what to wear. I see a lot of IG accounts which combine multiple style challenges into one outfit. It looked kind of fun to me so I decided to choose three different style challenges and combine them all into one outfit every day for the entire week (Monday through Friday). It was a bit challenging, but it certainly got me thinking outside of my personal fashion box. And I ended creating some outfits that I never would have otherwise. Some were…

Favorite Cropped Patterned Pants for Spring
These patterned cropped pants that I recently picked up at the New York & Company Outlet are quickly becoming my favorite pants for Spring. I wore the same pair in a coral paisley pattern on Mother’s Day and they proved to be comfortable for all day wear in a day in the life of a stay at home mom. That itself makes them great, but the adorable patterns and solid colors that are available makes them even better. Unfortunately, try as I might, I simply cannot find a way to view or shop New York & Company Outlet stores online. From my experience, the outlet inventory is very different from…

My Happy Mother’s Day Paisley Pants
I am definitely feeling happy and inspired today on my 6th Mother’s Day. My kids are healthy and happy. My marriage is strong. We want for nothing. My technological issues are resolved. And I recently purchased the happiest pants ever. What is better than bright coral and a paisley pattern? Seriously, you can’t not smile at my pants. Well, at least I can’t. About a month ago, one of my oldest and dearest friends, J., and I went on a day long outlet shopping excursion at The Crossings Premium Outlets in Tannersville, Pennsylvania. We shopped until 9:00 p.m. and literally shut the place down. One of my favorite acquisitions from…
