Barbie Color Mixing for Fall

Pink is a great transition color. It’s a color we often wear in the Summer, last year we saw it in a lot of Fall fashion and we will again this year. Pink looks great on every skin tone and pairs well with shades of Fall. Mix pink with creams and browns, and bring those summer pieces into your Fall wardrobe. I have a fun Reel to watch HERE

Think neutrals, feminine and a little flirty, in shades of Pink (blush and Hot pink), creams, ivories, and browns. Shades that look beautiful in the Summer yet transition into fall with a breeze. Barbie🌸 loves floral, pretty details, a good ruffle, and attention to detail in clothing and accessories.  Gibsonlook has launched a new Now and Later collection that fits right into my theme and several of their best sellers in the perfect shades of fall.

Barbie Accessories

Remember, dressing Barbie as a little girl. Accessories were some of the most important finishing touches. This is still true as you get dressed today.  Accessories finish off the look. Pay attention to the details.

Today’s finishing details are Julie Vos’s jewelry and Cecile New York. Both are beautifully crafted, feminine, and have a unique look, and these classic and beautiful accessories will finish off all your Summer to fall outfits in Barbie fashion.

In-Stock Items To Purchase on The Nordstrom Sale

In-Stock Items To Purchase on The Nordstrom Sale

Hello pretty ladies. I hope your week is going well. Yesterday, I headed to the Nordstrom sale with my sweet friend Cammi, From Cammi’s Happy Place. We had fun shopping at the sale, doing try-ons, and having dinner at the Nordstrom grill. Have you eaten at a Nordstrom grill inside of Nordstrom? The food is always so yummy, and they give you refilled drinks in to-go cups, which is always a plus in my book. 

As you know, I love to share wardrobe builders and great classic pieces from the sale with just a couple of cute and fun trendy pieces. This is a great time to pick up some of the premium denim and more design pieces at a great price, as they usually don’t go on sale any other time of the year. 

I searched the racks for items that would make for great basics and pieces you’ll wear on repeat all season long and for years to come. That is still in stock in both stores and online. Many Premium denim sells out fast, but I found some great pairs still in stock in all sizes and great fitting. Nordstrom does restock often throughout the sale, so it is worth checking back often if you have your eye on something that is sold out. 

Below is 4 outfits I created with all In-Stock Items To Purchase on The Nordstrom Sale.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

 

Hello Pretty ladies, 

I hope your week has been going well. Life seems to go by faster and faster as we age, wouldn’t you agree? We’re already halfway thru April! How does that happen? Today, I share 3 ways to style the Spanx Air essential Dress. 

This easy-to-wear buttery soft dress with pockets is easy to wear and style. With a mock neckline and a tank sleeve style, you’ll wear it all Spring and Summer. You can quickly wear this dress in many different ways, but today I am showing you three ways to style it for work wear, sporty chic, and for travel.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

Work Wear 

Spanx dress styled with the Spanx blazer.

The Spanx air essentials crew neck sweatshirt is over the shoulders for a fun detail. I chose the cognac color crew neck sweatshirt because it matched my Cecelia New York sandals and tied in with this vegan leather tote. 

Finish off the look with Gold Accessories. This is a great professional look for work, a Zoom meeting, or a Business lunch. 

This look is also comfortable to wear all day, yet removing the crew neck for a chic dress and blazer look could take you straight to a dinner date.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

Shop the Look Below:

 

Sporty Chic

Spanx dress paired with a denim jacket immediately takes it to a more casual look. But take it to sporty chic by adding a fun Ball cap, big silver hoop earrings, White leather sneakers with a bit of silver detail, and a dressed-up belt bag with silver chain detail.

This Sports chic look is great for traveling, sightseeing, sporting events, or grabbing coffee with friends.  

Again easy to wear, Easy to pack, and looks oh so put together. 

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

Shop the look below:

 

 

 Travel Vacation mode

I made the Spanx dress look like a skirt, paired with the Spanx Air essential crew neck sweatshirt, a cute Gigi pip Straw sun hat, an Amazon Find Straw bag, and fun Dolce Vita sandals. The espadrille platform is a fun look. 

On a warmer day, you could easily swap out the crew neck sweatshirt for a button-up or oversized graphic tee. Or wear it with no layers. 

I think a denim shirt tied around the waist would be cute. 

A great alternative to wearing an extra layer is using it as an accessory on a warm day. This gives the layer a look without adding an entire layer. 

Fashion Tip:

Adding texture to an outfit with accessories helps create a well-put-together look without much effort.

Think of different fabric mixes, adding texture to a shoe or a bag. Finally, jewelry finishes off the look. 

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

 

Shop to look below:

 

 

How Hairstyles help create a look

Another thing to consider is how you style your hair for each look. Choose a hairstyle that will compliment the outfit.

Higher necklines look great with hair pulled back to show off the neckline. A top knot is a cute look with a work/office look. Glasses on the head as a fashion statement pull hair away from the face to show the neckline. Looks business-like as well.

You can wear these pieces all Spring and Summer to look and feel great. Watch the fun REEL I created

Swap out pieces for a more casual or youthful look:

This dress could be worn in many ways: pull off the shoulders for a less modest way, or add a bunch of turquoise jewelry and cowboy boots for a boho vibe. So cute for festival and concert season.

Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 

 

Kjirstin -Modeling the pantsuit trend in this season’s fresh color trend sage. The Blazer & the Pant was paired with a slightly floral detailed top in sage and pink. Finish the look with the Quilted accessories trend in the shoes and bag. The final finishing touch is Pearl accessories.

The pantsuit is a great alternative to a dress. A fresh and chic look for Spring

Swap out pieces for a more casual or youthful look:

Change up the look, A younger person could swap out the top for a cropped top, and swap out the accessories for simpler pieces. Think simple platform sandals and a belt bag.

 

Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 

Myself– Wearing the Neutral color trend with the Twist on a Shirtdress, a mocha-colored high-low button-up dress. It was paired with a cute Cream cargo cropped jacket and Studded detail neutral sandals. For a bit of Pop of color, a hot pink bag.

Mannequin 3
Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 
Mannequin 4

 Outfits on the Mannequins

 

1st  Mannequin – Med length Denim Skirt, Eyelet top, and pretty bow detail heels. If you don’t love a denim skirt, pair it with Wide leg crops. Works for every age, as shown in the segment.

2nd Mannequin – Hot Pink and Orange – solid Ribbed Tank dress in Orange pairs with a solid Hot pink blazer, Accessorized with A darker orange braid bag for texture and a little pop. Hot Pink tassel earrings and finishing the look with a fun circle detailed, neutral sandal. 

Change up for a more youthful look

  • This look could be worn at any age as well, but to look more youthful, you could add a denim jacket instead of a blazer, swap out sandals for tennis shoes or pass on a jacket and tie a denim shirt around the waist.

3rd Mannequin – A coastal look with a Navy striped ribbed sweater tank dress, Paired with a Navy blazer (Save 10% with code DARCY10) and accessorized with a Neutral Laser cutout bag and sandals. Finished off with a straw hat gives this look the perfect coastal vibe. Cutouts on bags and shoes are a great choice to wear the trend if you don’t feel comfortable wearing clothing with cutouts. 

Change up The Look

   -Here’s another look that could be worn at any age, but simply changing out a blazer for no jacket or a cargo or denim jacket and changing accessories to simple Converse tennis shoes and a belt bag, would create a more youthful look.

4th Mannequin -Pj Pant suit set, Oversized top & Pants. Easy, breezy, and Chic. Kelly Green is a hot color trend, and paired with black gives it a fun edge. Yet, still very Spring-like. Accessories help take this look from looking like pj’s to looking business chic. The black body suit keeps the eye clean and flattering. A lightweight wax-coated black jacket over the shoulders, gold bow detailed slides, and a black quilted bag with gold trim polish off the look. 

Change up the look

Here you could opt to not were the button-up and only wear the bodysuit with the pants, and forgo any jacket. This look would also be just with a denim jacket and a simple sandal or Converse or Ked-type tennis shoe. Swap out a quilted bag for a crossbody bag.

 

I hope I inspired you to try something a little new to you this Spring. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and read “Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age.” 

Have a beautiful day, pretty ladies,

Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy last week of March, can you believe how fast March flew by? I keep telling myself Spring is coming; it is! In the Spirit of Spring, I have a couple of spring photoshoots. I’m looking forward to some fun pieces I can’t wait to wear. With all the great sales lately, I’ve grabbed some fun clothing & accessories I am also excited to share with you. 

Here are two great Spring basics wardrobe pieces. You’ll never get tired of styling, and the best part is that they work in every season.

Spring Wardrobe Builders

~Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of Wearing~

~ Straight Leg/ slim boot cut Jeans 

~ Gauze Button up

The Jeans are under $69, And the top is under $36

What are wardrobe builders?

Wardrobe builders are staple/ key pieces you purchase that help you build your wardrobe. I like to make a wardrobe, starting with classic pieces that can help you create many different looks. Then, build a cabinet with 80% good fitting, good quality pieces and fill in with the trends. I wrote more about this HERE.

Ways to Wear these two pieces

The White Gauze button-up top

This gauze button-up is just like the Free people one I own♥️ you can’t tell them apart✔️Wear over a bathing suit, with shorts, or throw over a tank tee dress. 🖤 The many ways you can style this versatile piece genuinely are endless.

I own several white Gauze button-ups, one because I always need one, as I wear them on repeat. And two, I wanted to see if you could tell the difference between the Target $25, Peppered in Leopard$36, and Free People $69 versions. Unfortunately, you really couldn’t unless close up and with touching.

The comparison

The Target button-up is the thinnest but not too light, and the stitching isn’t the quality of the Free People, which is to be expected. The Peppered in Leopard button-up is a perfect dupe. The buttons are different, the stitching is good, and the weight is pretty close. I recommend purchasing it for the price if you want to save money. The Free People’s quality is the best, with excellent stitching, buttons, and gauze fabric, just the perfect weight. 

Free People added this Spliced -up Shirtdress Tunic to this year’s Spring lineup, and the fabric is the same Gauze as the button-up. Talk about a cute dress you’ll wear over and over. Cute for concerts and festivals with boots, and so cute for Summer with a cute sandal.

The Straight Leg slim bootcut Jeans

Straight Leg jeans have been a classic style since jeans wear invented. They will always be in style. It’s a classic fit that always looks good. In fashion, styles come and go, but the classic fit never goes far. The type I am wearing above says a slim-fitting flair, but it does fit like straight-leg jeans. 

Ladies…Get your butt into this pair. You won’t be sorry! Judy Blue High Waist Control Top raw hem slim bootcut jeans are slim fitting through the waist, hip, and butt with a slim-fitting flared leg. Made of stretchy denim, it will fit you just right without stretching out too much. The control top helps keep your waist slim, and the wash is GORGEOUS, making these a must-have!

The Jeans Fit

  • Rise 10 3/4″, Inseam: 32″
  • Recommend sizing down one size for that fitted look.

Friday Catch Up, A Weekly Recap!

Friday Catch Up, A Weekly Recap!

Hello Pretty ladies, 

Happy Friday, sharing a little weekly recap with “Friday Catch Up.” Are you ready for the weekend? I look forward to a girl’s day with my girlfriend and Saturday celebrating our son’s birthday. On a different note, the weather in Utah seems like we’re living in a snow globe that someone keeps shaking, which makes it hard to get into Spring mode. However, I am trying and have purchased some cute pieces I am excited to share with you next week.  I enjoyed sharing some great Spring basics and a little of what I’ve been wearing lately. 

Friday Catch Up, A Weekly Recap!

In case you missed It

Blazers are all the rage and can be styled in many ways for every season. Here’s a look I’ve been loving. French style is always chic and on-trend, and when better than in the spring? Here’s a fun Gibsonlook Blazer look with a french inspiration  I created you could copy. Use code DARCY10  to save 10%. In case you missed it, I made a Reel recap of what I’ve been wearing.

I do two monthly Lives on Instagram on the first Monday and the 3rd. Here’s last Monday. 

You know I love good organization, and this is a fun REEL  I shared how I organize some of my hats.

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

Hello Pretty Ladies,

How did the start of daylight savings go for you? We’re up early. Today was no different, and it was snowing yet again. With that said, we decided to stay home and chill. By chill, I mean I stayed in pj’s, did a facial, read scriptures, and had a slow morning.

I did get the laundry done, Ben shoveled snow, and we made a big Asian dinner. I worked on social media, my Liketoknowit, and my blog. So, we had a productive day, even though it was quiet at home.

It was nice not having to get ready and having a relatively relaxing day. I leave for St George on Wednesday to meet my mom for Vintage Market days, Zion, and a little girl time. It’s been a couple of months since I’ve seen her, and I look forward to spending time with her. 

Spring is coming

With the first day of Spring coming in a couple of days, and Spring break coming up fast, I thought I would share some great basics from Chico’s. Easy to pack, wear traveling, and mix and match all Spring and Summer.

 

Chico’s Wardrobe Builders

They take you from Saturday style to Vacation mode with Chico’s  New Spring line. Their classic button-up in linen is perfect; you’ll wear it on repeat in white. Great over a bathing suit, paired with jeans, shorts, or worn over a tee shirt dress. It also comes in a stripe and several other colors. Girlfriend cropped jeans are a flattering jean style, similar to the boyfriend jeans with being as baggy. 

A  big Spring trend is the color combo Navy and kelly green. You’ll see these colors paired together in print and solids and mixing it up. See how I styled this trend in a couple of ways below. First, I paired some great essential pieces with trendy pieces to create a look you can wear at any age. 

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

White Button up | Girlfriend Jeans| Tennis shoes| Bag

Classic Wardrobe outfit 

Every day or Saturday style is built with classic wardrobe builders with the New girlfriend cropped denim. It fits slimmer than a boyfriend s jeans yet is not a straight cut. Very flattering on every figure and has a cute little cuff.  It was perfectly paired with Chico’s white shirt button-up and darling leather tennis shoes. Finish the look with a chain-detailed crossbody bag for a little updated edge.

Shop The Look:

 

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

Stripped Top| Joggers| Linen Slides

Easy Travel Outfit

Trending colors this Spring Kelly green and blue make a great color combo. I paired this color combo for a vacation look and a resort wear outfit. I hope you love the results. Kelly green jeggings and a navy and white striped linen button-up make for a comfortable travel look.

Shop The Look:

 

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

Denim Jacket| Bathing Suit| Pants| Hat| Sunglasses| Bag

Resort wear or Poolside Outfit

Are you headed on a warm-weather vacation? These printed Ikat cropped pants pulled over a swimsuit (used as a body suit here) gave a seamless look, and paired with this two-toned denim jacket, the straw bag makes it easy to take from the pool to lunch.
