Dear D'Arcy

9 Looks from Park City Girls Trip

9 Looks from our Park City Girls Trip.

girls trip

9 outfit inspirations you can easily copy from our girl’s trip to park city Utah Staying at Yotel Pad. Easy looks to transition into Fall, some we even styled 5 ways for you. WE enjoyed working with some amazing brands on this trip, from WHBM, Chico’s, Spanx, Print fresh, Peepers, Station Park, Evereve, and Soma.  Showing our style in what we choose, from how we decided to style the pieces.  We even decided to pick a couple of things the same ( Spanx jeans & Spanx leggings) and style them differently, giving you 5 ways to wear them. 

Interestingly, all 5 of us wear the same size, but due to our heights and body shapes, we all wear them differently. I hope you like the style inspiration and check out all the lady’s blog posts (linked at the bottom of this post) to see how we styled differently.

Spanx Faux leather leggings are one of my favorite closet staples (size up). You can style these in so many ways. Here I styled them with a blazer, white button-up and finished with kicks. Easy to wear with an oversized sweater and boots, paired with a rocker tee and leather or denim jacket, and even with a silk blouse and heels.

The Spanx perfect flare pant in tall.  Great for a dressed-up look or business wear. I am taking these to Nyfw next week and will be styling them in multiple ways. Perfect with a white button-up, dressed up like above or worn with a fitted sweater. A pants we could all use in our wardrobe, and very flattering on the leg.

My greatest joy is being their MOM 🤍🤍🤍 My greates My greatest joy is being their MOM 🤍🤍🤍

My greatest accomplishment is the family we’ve built.🤍

Not only the children I birthed, whom I am so very proud of and thank God every day for,
 but to the home we opened up to others and the family that came from friends and children we’ve been so blessed to have apart of our lives.

Family is something you build not just something you’re given. It truly brings me so much joy to have a full home, to feed others, open our hearts and be a safe space. 

I am grateful everyday for those in our life’s and apart of our “FAMILY” it makes my mama heart happy🤍🤍🤍

Thankful to the two that made me a CoCo @hampton.v_  @kaylee.thompson24 🤍 The love & joy he brings is something nobody could have prepared me for🤍

I know Mother’s Day can be hard for some, with their mamas no longer with them or with having a hard time becoming one on their own🙏🏻🤍 my heart goes out to you! You’ll be in my prayers🙏🏻

🌸Happy Mother’s Day pretty ladies and my your day be full of everything you need it to be🤍🤍🤍

A few of my favorite quotes ⬇️⬇️⬇️

“Motherhood: Because privacy is over-rated”. —Russ Ediger

“Thank God for a praying mother”. —Bobbie Burrow

“Faith is the foundation of a strong, loving family and Mama is the cornerstone”. —Renee Daniels

“Moms just know… How to help. How to heal. How to listen. How to love.”
