Cents of Style: reese witherspoon

Hello Friends!

Do you love celebrity street style as much as I do?  This look is so easy, breezy and casual that I had to see if I could recreate it with some of my favorite stores.

I love this look from top to bottom.  This pink, pointed ballet shoe adds a touch of femininity to her preppy look.  Reese always has a great look that's never over done.  I often get inspiration from her and a few others I'll be sharing with you.  How about you?  Which celebrity style do you often spy? 

Hugs,

Love me some dots...

Hello friends,

I'm so happy to report that not only is fall fashion out in full force, but the weather allowed for some of us to wear some of it.

[Shirt:  Gap, Skinnies:  F21, Jewels:  Stella & Dot,
Sunnies:  TJMaxx, Ballet Flats:  Old Navy, Bag:  Target]

Burgandy is one of the IT colors of the season.  Actually, jewel tones in general seem to be the happenin' hues.  I loved these F21 Skinnies from last fall and they pair so well with one of my new fall additions:  this great Gap shirt.  A simple plain colored or printed, collared shirt is a must for your wardrobe.  Pair it with any colored denim, blue denim, sweaters, and the list goes on.  Get a few of these great shirts and you'll find yourself wearing them more than you think.

Hugs,

Skinny Cords are a Must

Hello Friends!

It's midweek, which means that I have a break from running kiddos to school.  No preschool on Wednesdays, yeah for me!  However, we are in swimming lessons which still has me running but not quite as early as other days.  It seems as though there really is never a day off, but I'll take it.  I love every minute of it.

I adore these skinny cords so much, I had to have them in a few colors.  They truly are the go to comfort pair of skinnies that can go with just about anything.  I've paired these with this cardigan, chambray shirt, flannel and crew neck tops.  If you haven't picked up a pair yet, get to Old Navy soon.  These cuties were a whopper deal.  This is definitely a frugal find at $9.99 in a few different colors.  Originally priced at $34.50.

Enjoy your new cords, they too are such a classic piece added to your wardrobe.  You can bet that I'll be wearing these for several years.

Hugs,

What to Wear Day Trip with friends

Hello Friends!

Have you relaxed with friends lately?  I love to bop in and out of stores at the outlet malls or head to antique and boutique in neighboring towns.

What to Wear Day Trip with friends by frugalbytrish

A great way to relax and rejuvenate is to spend the day shopping with friends.  If you are like me, this could be a cardio workout.  It's about getting to the sales, getting to as many stores as possible and hopping from store to store.  You will want to have a comfy style to wear that allows for layers.  When you shop from store to store, the blazer is the perfect piece to throw on or off.  I'm loving the blazers lately, they are such a classic and timeless piece.  If you don't have one yet, add one, you'll have it and wear it for years.



Hugs,

Mustard and Lace

Hello Friends!

I hope you had a good weekend!

I did a little shopping and found some great deals at Old Navy, Target and Sears.  I know what you're thinking....Sears?  Yes, Sears.  Just like the commercial, if you've seen it.  They have adorable stuff at very affordable prices.  I love that they carry Lands End, one of my favorites for classic pieces.

 

So are you one of those that are so organized that you stash away your spring/summer pieces and switch them out for fall/winter?  I like to think of myself as an organized person but this is one task that I do not include on my list of things to do twice a year.  Here's the reason.  Many of those spring/summer pieces can be pulled into the cold months with layering.  Here's an example of my lace tank that I wear in the summer and I've remixed it for a winter style.

These booties are absolutely adorable and are the most comfortable.  They almost feel like tennis shoes, not quite but close.  I love these with straight leg jeans, boot cut and with boyfriend or skinny jeans rolled.  Super cute and super frugal find.  I got these at Target at 50% off, $17.49.  Now this may not sound like such a frugal find but you should know that these are very similar to a pair at JCrew.  The JCrew MacAlister Wedge Boot is a whopping $198.00.  I'll say it again, my Target find is a frugal find!

Gettin' A Little Wild

Hello Friends!

I didn't realize my love for animal print until I really started blogging about style.  I love a hint here and there.  A little peaking out from a leather jacket.  A ballet shoe with any kind of pants and I adore it with turquoise.  Most of our leopard prints can be considered neutral because of the black, gray, white and tan.  So play with it by adding a fun colored denim or a statement necklace.

 Once again, the kiddos snuck in their toys into this shot.  I didn't even notice until I added this to my post.  Can you find the toy that doesn't belong in the picture?  

A friend that had her kiddos a few years before me, once told me something that has stuck with me for years.  My home may be messy but it is clean.  So true!!!  Anyone with kiddos can relate to having things here, there and everywhere.

What to Wear: Animal Print Style

Good Morning Friends!

I know we all have the beloved sweat pants that are oooooh so comfy!  These are wonderful but I do try to limit myself to wearing these at home or the gym, exclusively.  This doesn't mean that I don't find myself in them at grocery store a time or two.  But, you will rarely find me out and about in them.  I just decided, that even though I'm not heading to an office as of lately, I can still be stylish and comfy at the same time.

Here's an adorable outfit that is topped off with a hint of animal print for fun!

The skinnies are a simple pair from Old Navy and the rest can be found at Target - affordable and accessible.


Hugs,
         Trish

CHANEL or Not

Hello Friends!

This was actually my outfit of yesterday.  I wore this outfit to church and then changed into jeans for the rest of the day.  First and foremost, now is the time to be shopping some of my favorites...
Old Navy, Gap, JCrew, and Target.  If you're wanting fall/winter style for nearly 70% off, get there quickly!   This classic, winter white coat is on sale for under $40.

I love this coat as it can be dressed up but mostly it can be worn for everyday.  Now onto my outfit of the day, uh hum, other day.  If you see me in person or on this blog, you have seen me wear this chambray shirt more times than not.  I wear it under sweaters, sweatshirts, over tanks and alone.  It truly is the most versatile piece.  I added it to this adorable CAbi sweater jacket.  This piece was an investment piece that is undeniably close to a beautiful CHANEL sweater jacket circa 1990.

 I know, crazy close huh?  I don't even know how much this is but the fact that it's a CHANEL sweater jacket says enough for me.  It's not in my budget.....PERIOD!!

Pretty Plaid

Hello Friends!

It's been quite a while since posting and I'm feeling withdrawals from my blog.  My apologies for the absence.  Truth be told, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with back to school, volunteering for both the school and church, exercise, and blogging.  Most of all, I felt as though I was not doing a good job at any of them, I was just trying to get the job done.

Now it's a new year, new focus and new attitude.  I'm cutting out the fat, well not all of it.  I still partake in some of my mindless television and relaxing but not as much.  A girl's gotta have her Housewives, but the reruns have got to go.  I am also learning the much needed skill of saying "No", it's harder than it sounds.

Today's outfit was inspired by a great blogger that has a knack for taking a piece from her closet and remixing in a number of different ways.  You can find her at Putting Me Together.  I love this vest as you've seen me wear it here, and I'm finding more ways to wear it.  Check it out with this fall/winter plaid trend....LOVE IT!

My hubby knows my love of photography and got me a new camera for Christmas.  I LOVE it!!!!!!  BUT, I don't know how to use it.  I'm working on learning all the new bells and whistles and still need a few more accessories (love my accessories).   Stayed turned friends, the pics will only get better.

Hugs,
