What To Wear, When Transitioning From Summer To Fall

What To Wear, When Transitioning From Summer To Fall

What To Wear, When Transitioning From Summer To FallHello Pretty Ladies,

Hoping your week is going well. I came off a fantastic trip with my mom and sister to deal with some significant family and home issues, and I feel a little overwhelmed and sad. Knowing we all have things to deal with, sometimes it feels like when it rains, it pours. I know we have to put all our faith and trust in God in times like these. (If you are a prayer warrior, we could sure use them)

When you have a career in social media, everything always seems to be perfect, and I think it’s important to share real life. I believe that is what sharing and being transparent is about. I always try to be positive and smile, but that is who I am. Even when the world around you seems to be crashing, you can always find the good. So remember when life seems complicated (we all have those periods), and it could always be worse. 

With that being said, that might be why you don’t see me personally poping into stories as often. Just know I appreciate you. Thank you for being in my tribe and for your love and support. Now let’s get to the good stuff. I have a fun Chit Chat Chic to host tonight with some exciting news, so I hope you’ll tune in at 6:00 mnt. Time. I also had the opportunity to work with Chicos on their Fall transition launch, and that is what I am excited to share with you today.

Great Basics from Chicos

Great fitting, define-me denim, Chambray, colors trending this season, and classic cuts and styles are great wardrobe builders. Pieces you can wear on repeat. Make sure to follow me on Instagram to see more ways I will be styling this in the upcoming days. All pieces are true to size.

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you had a great weekend. I just got home from a great road trip with my mom and sister (more on that next week.) Nothing like spending time with family and checking off places on your bucket list. What’s on your bucket list?

Today, I am sharing a quick little Fall Target Haul. Three outfit inspirations you can mix and match all season long. Affordable pieces, all under $40.00. Perfect pieces to create teacher outfits, back-to-school, Saturday styles, and even take a road trip. The Chit Chat Chic girls joined in and did a Target share on Instagram. Fun little peek Here.

A perfect Cardigan, easy-to-wear skinny jeans, button-up shirt, clogs, and an oversize bag. Pieces you’ll wear all season long. Think of all the ways you could wear each part and how you can mix and match them. Clogs are a big fall trend, and the cardigan is super soft, has pockets, and makes for a great layering piece.

Another cardigan for fall layering is grey-washed skinny jeans without any distressing, a graphic tee, quilted slip-on tennis shoes, and a faux leather backpack. This look is great for many occasions, Saturday style, back-to-school, and casual coffee dates. Mix and match these pieces all season long.

Look 3 is a great comfy travel outfit, casual sports outfit, or easy lounge outfit. Comfortable sweat pants that come in several colors, oversized, so size down. Paired with a rocker graphic tee and a left-open button, add a styling element. I 3 dressing in odd numbers, just like in designs 3,5 and 7, adds interest and dresses up the outfit a touch. ( not that sweats and a tee are dressy, the button-up adds an extra element.)

Eyelet has always been one of my favorite summer fabrics and when I saw this pink tie-shoulder dress, I knew I needed it in my summer dress collection and you do too.

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

Update your Summer Wardrobe

1. Oversized button up-

white or stripe for the coastal vibe or bright and colorful. Great to style with shorts, over a tee shirt dress, or worn with linen pants. Every wardrobe needs a good button-up.

 

 

10 Outfits Inspired By Coastal Grandmother

2. Linen Pants –

(Old Navy & Target have great $20-25 ones) Linen is a Classic Summer staple. With so many ways to style with ease, perfect pants forTravel as well!

 

 

3. Straw/Raffia-

A great way to add texture to your outfit. Whether a hat or a bag, this gives your look that Summer vibe! This is also a great way to add in a style that might be trending. You can find either one at all price points, and I am sharing a couple from Amazon, Walmart, and Nordstrom. 

Hats

 

 

Bags

 

 

 

4. Nude Sandals-

A great nude sandal is always a classic wardrobe builder but is also fun to add to a trending style. Sides, braided, and transparent looks are trending, which gives a great update to your wardrobe.

 

 

 

3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

5. 2 Piece Sets-

TRENDING A two-piece set is having a big moment right now, and I love it! Great for Traveling, so easy to style, and a great way to mix and match. 

You can find sets in Shorts, pants, and skirt sets. Today I am featuring this great chambray pant set! Perfect pieces to mix and match.

 

 

6. Colorful Printed Dress-

Have you noticed every summer that there’s a certain print you see a ton of for that season! It’s a great tip to pick up a dress in that Seasons “It pattern.” 

Instant wardrobe update, easy and fun to wear, and you can grab an affordable dress at H&M, Target, and Walmart, an excellent Style tip for shopping seasonal trendy pieces.

 

 

7. Bangles-

I love Arm candy or a great bracelet stack. Whether you love color, beads, or gold, adding an excellent bracelet stack adds texture and looks pretty on your wrist with the shorter summer season tops, Tanks, and dresses. This Amazon set is a deal… set of 4

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Summer is finally here, and I have styled 4 Summer Dresses From Amazon Any Age Could Wear. Four affordable and easy-to-wear dresses you’ll wear all summer long. I don’t know about you, but I love a dress I can wear with just sandals or dress it up a bit with accessories. Summer is all about easy wear and effortless style. 

Not only is it easy to style and easy to wear, a factor for summer, but so is a dress you can wear at any age. If you have been following me for a while, I don’t put an age on style. Style is truly what you feel good in. But, these four dresses from Amazon do work for any age. It’s all in how you style them. 

 

 

Cream Tank 3 Tired Dress

I’ve paired it with neutral accessories, a straw bag, and strap sandals, but you could easily pair it with a pop of color for a different Summer vibe.

Little black strapless dress $19.99. I love a good strapless dress. Strapless dresses are easy to throw on over a swimsuit, and you can quickly wear them from the pool to lunch. This dress is a touch see-thru, so I wore a little slip underneath; not necessary if you wear it for a swimsuit cover-up. 

I’ve styled it to wear on a little afternoon date with my hubby—a denim jacket with pearl details for a little more dressed-up feel. I finished off the look with black quilted slides (old). I linked similar HERE. These pearl slides would be adorable, pearl hoop earrings, More affordable hoops here, and a Victoria Emerson cuff.

3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

 

Hello pretty ladies, I hope you had a great weekend. 

We spent the weekend in Park City for Father’s Day, as my hubby wanted a little getaway. It was nice to relax and have a slight change of pace. Don’t you love a weekend getaway? 

Today, I want to share a great Amazon find: two-piece tropical printed short set. So affordable at $29 for both pieces and comes in several prints and color choices.

Short sets are having a big “moment” right now, and I am here for it.

A short set is also an excellent option for a getaway because you can create multiple looks by packing a couple of extra pieces. 

I created three different outfits for you with this two-piece set. Easy to create, easy to pack, and perfect for the pool, lunch, shopping, and date night. 

3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

Style Amazon Short set  Way #1

This two-piece Amazon short set was styled by just using the two pieces, A kimono, and shorts. This look is easily accomplished by adding A bodysuit or tank top, cute sandals (I am wearing Tory Burch Millers), a straw bag, and Fun tropical earrings.

Easy outfit look for vacation, site seeing, shopping, and even worn over a bathing suit to the pool.

Outfit number two was created with the shorts from the two-piece set. Paired with a black blazer, the same Spanx bodysuit, and accessorized with Black open-toed Vince Camuto booties, a leather clutch, and finished off with gold jewelry. 

The blazer gives the printed shorts a more polished look and takes this look to Summer chic versus summer vacation. Outfit number two is one of my favorite looks for summer. 

Outfit number two is a look you could wear to work, wear on a date night or have cocktails with the girls.

Outfit number three was created with the Kimon from the set, paired with Spanx black shorts and the same Spanx bodysuit. It was created by accessorizing with Cognac Tory Burch Millers and a cognac vegan hobo bag by Social Thread. With jewelry to finish off the look. 

This look could be perfect for brunch/ shopping with the girls, a coffee meeting, running errands, and casual dinner.

Taking Short sets on vacation

Packing short sets on vacation is a smart packing tip! It helps you to pack less, mix and match made easy, and it allows you to create a color pallet. Creating a color pallet for travel is a great tip to make packing easier. More packing tips on this blog post:  Soma has all you need to pack for a Summer getaway.

10 Outfits Inspired By Coastal Grandmother

Hello, pretty ladies,

Today, I am bringing you a style right up my alley! Have you heard the phrase “Coastal Grandmother”? I shared a little bit about it on my Instagram over the last couple of months, and on Wednesday, I showcased a fun reel of several outfits to give a little preview of the style we were also talking about on our Chit Chat Chic Live for Wednesday night. View HERE

I hope you enjoy my “coastal grandmother” take with 10 Outfits Inspired By Coastal Grandmother Vibe.

“Coastal Grandmother”

It’s a vibe…. not an age, and no grandkids are required. And Everything about it is just “GOOD”! The coastal grandmother is a “coin Phrase” for a classic coastal look that’s been in style forever. 

Are you a Nancy Meyers movie lover who loves cooking and drinking a glass of wine while doing so and who loves an Ina Garten recipe? Do you enjoy chic interiors, fresh flowers, and a good recipe, and don’t miss a farmers market?
What about Wearing breezy Neutrals, loose lines & Gauze, and a touch of stripes? Straw hats and large bags? The Diane Keaton vibe in “Somethings gotta give.”

10 Outfits Inspired By Coastal Grandmother

You Might be a Coastal Grandmother!

Do you love it? You are a #coastalgrandma. This phrase is all about the vibe, not the age….
I’ve been a coastal grandma my whole life😂😂😂 #oldsoul. I am sharing ways to style this easy classic look and some tips for creating your “coastal grandmother wardrobe!” with classic pieces you’ll wear for years.

Extra pieces that bring this look to life!

The “coastal style” is part of the “Coastal grandma” vibe. Coastal style must-haves are a cozy knit cardigan, straw hats, large beach bags (perfect for holding flowers and a bottle of wine), Crisp button white shirts with a popped collar, easy-to-wear sandals, or white tennis shoes. A touch of chambray or light denim adds to the look. These are all pieces that make this style classic. Keep in mind this is an easy-breezy “beachy” style. Easy to wear and will never go out of style. It might just get a new “coin phrase.”

This little spit fire is 23🤍 I can’t believe how f This little spit fire is 23🤍
I can’t believe how fast time has flown by 🤍

It’s been so fun watching him grow from a  little pistol into this young man🤍and amazing New daddy. 

His determination, and strong will, made him a great athlete, while his tender heart  and sensitivity & caring has made him kind to others. He’s loyal, has a strong work ethic and a joy for adventure. 

He’s our boy that would want to save every kitten and brought us home our beloved Binx and Little Miss…

The pickiest eater ever, until about the age of 12, and  He wouldn’t try a burger until age 13! (Thank goodness that’s all changed) 😉

So many memories , yet doesn’t seem like it could already be 23 years! 
Proud of the man and watching him become a daddy has been one of our biggest joys🤍🤍

Happy 23rd 🎂🎉Hampton Steel we couldn’t love you more🤍🤍🤍
