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,

Hi Friends!

Ok, it's summer, right?  Well not officially but now that school is out for the kids one would expect that the sun would be sunny and the heat would be heating.  That's not the case here in Iowa though.  Cooler than usual days have kept me in my skinny jeans longer this season than ever expected.

I'm not complaining!!!  The longer I wear something, the less cost per wear it becomes.  What a silly thing to think about but some styles go out almost as soon as they come in.


Today's outfit feels a bit more timeless.  It has a shelf life as we used to say WAY back when in the sales industry.  Choose any color oxford shirt, paired with a skinny (colored, print, denim, you name it) and you're set.


Most of this outfit was brought to you by Old Navy.

I'm a HUGE fan of flowers, they are definitely a labor of love.  These purple beauties add a bit of color to my deck and landscaping.  They are the perfect hint of color in just the right places.

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,

A Little lace

Good morning friends!!!!!!

I hope you had an amazing weekend!!!!!!!

Are you watching the Olympics as much as we are????  We've been glued to the boob tube for the past few days and can't get enough of sand volleyball and gymnastics.  Go Team USA!!!!!!

As for today, I'm rushing the kiddos off to swimming and then dance later.  Here's what I plan to wear this morning, but may need to change into my cleaning grub.  Bathrooms are getting to the point of being disgusting!!!!

My eyes look a little funky here.  Remind me to keep the sunnies on.

This outfit is so comfy and easy to throw on.  No ironing and cool for the summer heat.  Yes, it's back.  Air conditioning is back on and windows are closed, sad.

Love the hint of lace on the back.

I think it's time to change the blue nail polish, don't you?  It's wearing really well and I hate to change it when it's not worn yet but it's time for a fresh color.  Until next time, have an amazing day!!!!

Good morning friends.

 I'm up bright and early today due to the amazing sounds of the morning.  Birds are singing and our windows are open.  However, I could've done without the sounds of an early bird (uh-hum 6:30 a.m.) getting dropped off.  Now is it because this person delivers the morning paper or perhaps pulled an all-nighter and had a much more eventful night than I did?  I'm guessing the latter only because I believe most tend to have a more exciting life than I lead.  For those that know me well, I very much enjoy being a home body.  The best place on earth is at home with my amazing hubby and two beautiful girls.

Good Morning Friends,

Today is a low key day.  You know, one of those days that you don't really want to go anywhere or have to do anything by a certain time?  We are on the go most days, so I live for a day like today.  The kiddos and I watered flowers, created some masterful art and enjoyed the breeze from our open windows.  Yes, that's right we finally got a break in the heat.  It's in the 80's today, instead of the horrid high 90's or 100 degrees.  Thank the Lord for the cool front.  I'm ready for fall and speaking of fall, keep an eye out for my want list.  It'll be jam packed with fall fav's.
