Dear D'Arcy

Styling: The 3rd piece rule

Styling: The 3rd piece rule

 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Can you believe we’re halfway through October? My favorite month flies by the way too fast.

Today, I am sharing a rapid read… I am sharing about the 3rd piece rule in styling. Have you heard about this Rule? I shared it a couple of times on Instagram Here.

Styling: The 3rd piece rule

Shop the Outfits below: (tap the photo)

 

What is 3rd piece rule?

This Rule (which, in fashion, there aren’t rules) it’s a great tip that works for dressing up or changing the look of any outfit just by changing the 3rd piece.

How does this styling rule/tip work?

I am here if you wear faux leather crop pants and a denim shirt. Although cute on its own, When you add the 3rd piece, aka the jacket or the plaid shacket, it gives your outfit a completely different look just by changing the 3rd piece. 

Creating different looks:

You could change out just the jacket over and over on this basic outfit and achieve so many different looks. 

This Rule is a great tip that works for traveling as well to stretch your wardrobe without taking as many pieces.

More styling Inspiration: Wearing the Faux leather Crop pant.

Hello pretty ladies,

I hope your week is going well. I feel like it’s flying by. The fall season is just one of my favorite seasons, and it flies by way too fast. Then we enter into the Holiday season at warp speed! Today, I am sharing a fun little peek at the new releases from Cabana Life. Perfect for taking on vacation as resort wear and wearable into the fall season. (you know how I love pieces that serve multiple purposes!) 

Fall Styling for Cabana Life

Cabana life is more than resort wear. Their pieces are not only functional for resort wear and provide SPF50. In addition, they have excellent style function, and design to take into the Fall season with a couple of styling tips.

Tips for Styling Cabana Life For Fall

Many Cabana life pieces can be easily styled for Fall, paired with booties, a denim jacket, Sneakers, and a blazer. I adore this Fun golden yellow and blue printed tunic perfect color’s for Fall. Styled below with a leather jacket and tall boots with a western flare.

New Sweatshirt

Fall is for layers, and I adore the new cozy Sweatshirt perfect for layering over a tank or your swimsuit (if headed on a trip)

 

 

Great for chilly Fall mornings and cool evenings at the Beach or pool. It pairs excellently with Cabana life shorts or your favorite jeans for a walk or strolling the pier. You’ll find me wearing this cutie, sitting on our deck with a cocktail in hand this weekend, or heading out for a walk. 

(Fits true to size.)

Way To Style Cabana Life For Fall

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope your week is going well and you enjoy the last bit of summer. Our weather hasn’t quite hit the fall temperatures, but it’s coming faster than some want. I love summer, but I adore Fall. The cooler mornings and evenings, the smell of the air, and the changing of the leaves are just a few things I am looking forward to. Today, I want to share Cabana life’s spf50 eyelet dress styled a little western for Fall. 

Cabana Life clothing doesn’t have to be resort wear or summer clothing. You can easily give their pieces a new look by adding different accessories or laying them up. Here I said western boots, a big Fall trend, and a cowboy hat. On a chilly day, you could add a denim jacket. This look would be darling for a music festival, country concert, country fair, the rodeo, or like I am wearing it on vacation to Jackson hole, Wy.

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.

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.

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.)

Strong Women Rise… Strong Women Win… She’s HER own Strong Women Rise… Strong Women Win… She’s HER own Force from within….

I love that❤️ 

I feel so many Women, don’t give themselves enough credit…

As Moms, Wives, business owners, hard workers and the “doers”
They’re doing it all and carrying the weight …most of the time with a smile, and hiding a worry, a weakness or guilt!

Remember you are STRONG.. you are a force … and it’s ok to not to give a dam what others think… 

And sometimes… it’s ok not to Give a  dam “what’s for dinner!”😉🥰
Or that the laundry didn’t get done, or that your Christmas Tree isn’t up after Halloween…

Sometimes the “give a dam” can turn back on tomorrow 😉❤️

Happy November pretty ladies, remember as we head into a “moms” busiest season… it’s important to take care of yourself, breathe and know when to turn on/off your “give a dam switch” 😉❤️🥰

This little guy loves trees, and is at peace outside, he’d be out here all day, everyday…

He loves walks to look at trees, loves to swing in the hammock to look at the trees, he loves to touch the leaves and explore 🍂

It’s the sweetest thing to watch, 
And I enjoy every moment and don’t rush any of them🍂🍂 I am happy to look at leaves for hours🍂

Being a grandma has changed me in the most beautiful way.
I don’t rush through moments anymore.
I don’t stress the little things like I used to.
Because now I know how fast it all goes. 🥰❤️

🚨Attention Fashion Police🚨
Age is just a number!!!

You can wear Leather pants over 50….

Hello, I am D’Arcy and I am 55 and I don’t let a number dictate my style✔️

Ladies, don’t let a number stop you from wearing what you love, or what makes you feel good!!

🚨3 things you should DO…

-Wear what makes you feel good 
-Wear what flatters your figure 
- Wear what make YOU feel confident 

3 Things you DON’t want to do

- Care about others opinions 
- Dress your age 
-Wear things that DON’T fit well, and are uncomfortable or don’t flatter your figure.

🌸Pretty Ladies, when you look good, you feel good and you do good✔️✔️✔️

That’s a mood lifter right there!
