Outfit Details On Trend For Spring

Hello, Pretty ladies, 

I hope you had a great holiday weekend and that you got to enjoy an extra day of today. Unfortunately, it snowed all weekend and messed up Ben and I’s date night. We had to reschedule it for a day that had better weather as we were headed to Salt Lake and didn’t want to drive in a snowstorm. 

Our weekend was still an entire house project, and I was also trying to accomplish the work I needed to finish on my blog, Amazon storefront, and Liketoknow. I need more hours in the day. 

Today, I must have been feeling a little French-inspired or channeling my inner Coco Chanel with my outfit. I am sharing outfit details on spring trends that I think you’ll love and enjoy wearing in multiple ways this season. Today is just one look, but I’ll be styling these pieces multiple over the next few weeks. 

Outfit Details On Trend For Spring

5 Items Trending For Spring

  1. Stripes
  2. Wide Leg Denim
  3. Thin Belts
  4. Flower pins/ Chokers
  5. Loafers 

Below, you will see how I used these items to create this look. These are great accessories you’ll wear on repeat all Spring and Summer.

Outfit Details On Trend For Spring

Today’s outfit combines trending stripes and wide-leg, high-waisted indigo denim, also trending for spring. This cute trending Lady’s Jacket is a fun Amazon find and affordable yet looks higher quality inspired by Chanel and is a cheaper version of the Jcrew version. The shorter length is flattering paired with high-rise, wide-leg denim. These flattering jeans and White Bodysuit are a “Best Seller” by Spanx.

(SAVE 10% off all Spanx with my CODE: DEARDARCYXSPANX. Free shipping and returns, too)

The accessories here are classic pieces yet very much on trend for spring. A flower-detail pin looks designer and has a channel vibe. A simple, traditional thin belt with a gold buckle and platform loafers add to this chic look, as do a great Hobo satchel/tote. I am finishing with gold jewelry to match the gold buttons on the jacket.

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope you had a great weekend. We finished our huge garage remodel and organization, and it looks so good! I’m glad that the project is over. I’m now moving on to getting my office/studio/coset finished. House projects have been consuming us as we are trying to complete everything and 100% remodel to get our home listed.

Now, enough of that, and let’s move on to what I wanted to share today. An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time. 

One of this Spring season’s HOTTEST colors is cornflower Blue💙 paired with Camel and white… You can never go wrong with this color combo….Mix and match it anyway; it will look polished and put together. An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time: The right color combination can create great outfits, which makes it easy to shop your closet.

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time

 

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time

I have styled an Amazon blue & white striped button-up shirt with Spanx white flared jeans and the “3rd piece” Camel-colored faux leather jacket. Perfect for the Office, a lunch date, a cute teacher outfit, or just grabbing a coffee with a friend. 

Tips that pull this look together

Tip: I tied the 3rd piece with a cap-toe ballet flat (the shoe’s base is Camel), which balances the jacket color. I also added a 4th color, the navy, in my bag💙 This adds a little texture to the look. Finish the outfit with gold accessories: A bracelet stack mix of Julie Vos & Lisi Lurch, a necklace stack, and earrings by Julie Vos.

What’s Mob Wife Fashion: Meet This Year Fashion Aesthetic

What’s Mob Wife Fashion: Meet This Year Fashion Aesthetic

Hello, Pretty Ladies, and Happy Wednesday.

I am excited to bring this new Fashion Aesthetic to your attention for 2024. Get your Fur Coats out— Mob Wife aesthetic is in What’s a “MOB Wife,” You ask?

This fun trend brings back Glamour and femininity to fashion. Quiet luxury is out, and the clean girl aesthetic is no more. We are moving on to mob wife. This means we’ll see bolder colors, animal prints, metallic, and lots of furs (which can be faux). What’s an MOB wife without all her jewels? Jewelry is bolder; make-up is stronger. Nothing is quiet about this look; if you are ready for a louder, brighter, and stronger look, this one is fun to play with. 

What's Mob Wife Fashion: Meet This Year Fashion Aesthetic

The why behind this look

A drastic change in fashion generally happens when trends get overly saturated. The pendulum swings to the completely opposite side. This means we will see color, bold animal prints, bolder jewelry, More faux leather, and metallics coming in even stronger in 2024. 

NOW… Before you say this looks is not for you: 

✨You’d be surprised how this fashion is so wearable. It’s not far off from last year’s “Quiet Luxury” you can stick with -simple colors and simple silhouettes, Classic pieces like satin blouses and slip dresses, a great fitting pair of trousers and blazers… Leather pants and skirts🖤

It’s all in the Details: Bolder Jewelry choices, Fur Trims and fur coats, Big Designer sunglasses, and luxury bags with more layers. It’s old-school Hollywood glamour, not quite Jersey Girl. This look is also effortless to achieve by “shopping your closet.” I am sure you’ll be able to come up with several looks from your own items.

I am all about this look, accessorizing, layering, and getting a little more dressed up. Life seems to be pretty casual these last couple of years.

Places you could wear  the Mob Wife look:

Let’s face it, you can dress however you want for wherever you want. Here are a few suggestions on what I might want to wear for this fun, glamorous look. 

  • Drinks with friends 
  • A girl’s night out
  • Date night with the hubby 
  • A theater night 
  • A’pre ski is a great time to wear furs
  • Dinner out with friends
  • A Las Vegas or Big City trip

Fashion Inspiration

✨Think -Audrey Hepburn in a  classic black turtle neck and trousers with large movie star glasses and diamonds.

✨Think -Sharon Stone in Casino

Sophia Lauren- What a Women

Of course, this trend isn’t for everyone… but it is fun to play with some things you might already own in your wardrobe …. I created the looks above with pieces I already owned, and it’s a great time to pull out some of your vintage pieces as well. To create your Version of “MOB WIFE.” The name of this aesthetic cracks me up. Just like years past, “clean girl,” “coastal grandmother,” and “Quiet luxury”….

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 2

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 2

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Monday, and I hope your week is off to a great start. Today, I wanted to bring to you Things you can still do in fashion and look current at any age without having to change your whole wardrobe just by making some little tweaks and not feeling like you have to jump on board with what you are seeing currently on trend or suggested on how you clean out your wardrobe. 

I have started a series called “What I won’t be doing in 2023” In which I share baby steps in how you can accomplish a wardrobe that will have you looking chic and feeling good at any age without breaking the bank and having to start from scratch as well as helping you find your style while building a classic wardrobe that will fit your body type.

Each week I will be sharing “What I won’t be doing” along with the “WHY” and “TIPS” that you can use as suggestions to help you make decisions in your wardrobe, which I think can be helpful for you to follow, clean out and purchase smarter. 

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won't Be Doing in 2024 Part 2

 

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 2

  • I won’t be Getting rid of All my low-rise jeans/pants
  • Jumping on Every 2024 Trend
  • Feeling the need to Clear out everything in my closet.

 ✨Won’t be getting rid of all my low-rise Jeans/Pants!

Here’s why:

Dress for your body type Not for what’s trending… Now, this doesn’t mean you can’t BE TRENDY…

What this means is to wear styles that are flattering on your shape and that you feel good in. So, if low-rise jeans/pants work on your shape great wear them. Keeping them current could mean picking a low rise in a straight leg or a flare, and maybe not a skinny.

Now if you love and look good in a skinny jean. Maybe try it in a Trending mid or high-rise style and see if that works on your body type.

It’s about balancing what looks good on you and what’s on trend.

✨Jumping On Every Trend in 2024✔️

Here’s why:

This has a lot to do with the above… It’s important to dress for your body type and feel good in what you wear.

Another way to Stay current with your wardrobe & wear what looks good on you is to pick a trending color or wear one trendy piece you do feel & look good in.

Tip: You may not like every trend, and that’s ok. it’s a suggestion on what’s current but not a must!

TIP: Trends are a great place to SAVE money when building your wardrobe… Don’t Spend a lot of money on trending pieces… Save that for the classic quality wardrobe builders. 

(Watch for my Save & Splurge) in Stories and over on LTK… I share them often!

Tip: Pick up Trending pieces at places like Nordstrom Rack, Target, Walmart, Amazon, TjMax,

Forever 21, H&M, or wait for a SALE.

By all means, if you LOVE a trend and you think you’ll wear that piece to death. Buy it🖤✔️ If you don’t pass on it✔️

✨Feeling the Need to Clear out everything in my Closet✔️

Here’s why:

When you build a great classic wardrobe full of good staple pieces, they don’t go out of style. 

That’s why they’re called classics, you can transition them from season to season year after year.  Read my Building a Classic Wardrobe post HERE.

I have pieces in my wardrobe I still wear that are 20 years old… Good quality pieces last, You can wear them year after year and I highly recommend you splurge on a few of them. This also means you don’t have to purchase them or clear them out as often

You may have noticed I have been sharing small tips on what you may want to keep and what you may want to clear out. I have a blog post coming next week on tips to help you clean out your closet. ( I might have to make this a series as well.)

Details on the outfit above:

This outfit looks and feels current. Yet the jeans are old (22-25 years old) The rise is lower, yet it’s a straight leg. Lower rise isn’t trending yet straight leg is, so they still feel current. I like the way my body looks in a lower rise, I am short-waisted so a lower rise helps create a waist on my body structure. The Straight leg keeps the jeans from feeling “dated” whereas if this low rise was a skinny jeans it would feel like a dated pair of jeans. Do you now see what makes a difference? 

Now, If you have skinny jeans you like and feel good in, what will make them look like current jeans is to have a midrise or highrise to them. Low-rise jeans aren’t “trending” and “skinny Jeans aren’t trending so those would look dated. Unless you wore a tunic or oversized sweater with tall boots. Like I did in the photo below.

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 1

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Happy Friday, and I hope your weekend is off to a great start. Today, I am sharing… 3 things I’m not doing to “BE CURRENT” as a midlifer….PART 1

I wanted to bring to you things you can still do in fashion and look current at any age without having to change your whole wardrobe just by making some little tweaks and not feeling like you have to jump on board with what you are seeing currently on trend or suggested on how you clean out your wardrobe. 

I have started a series called “What I won’t be doing in 2024,” In which I share baby steps in how you can accomplish a wardrobe that will have you looking chic and feeling good at any age without breaking the bank and having to start from scratch as well as helping you find your style while building a classic wardrobe that will fit your body type.

Each week, I will be sharing “What I won’t be doing” “along with the “Why” and “TiPS” what you can use as suggestions to help you make decisions in your wardrobe, which I think can be helpful for you to follow, clean out and purchase smarter. 

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 1

Today, I am sharing… 3 things I’mI’mt doing to “BE”CURRENT” a” a midlifer….PART 1

#1. I’m not throwing away ALL my skinny jeans!!!

 ⚠️You’ve seen midlife stylists throw them in the trash!!!! WHAT! ( yes, trends come and go, and some styles of jeans are more on trend in specific years… But…)

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 1

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 1
Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 1

Here’s WHY: I won’t be throwing all of mine away or telling clients, too…

– Skinny jeans are genuinely the only jeans that work well with tall boots (which will be showing up big in 2024)

– Every figure is different and has different styles that flatter you.

-YOU know what you like and what YOU feel good in.

-You can Make Skinny Jeans “CURRENT” just by how you style them! (More on that later)

—They look great with Tunics and oversized sweaters. This gives the outfit balance 

-They work on my body.  My legs are one of my assets, and I try to teach my followers and clients to wear what works on your body! Accentuate your best parts.

 

How I made this look CURRENT:

If you looked through the several photos😉♥️ You’ll see I wore the same BASE = Spanx Skinny jeans & a great Amazon find =Tunic sweater.

🚨SAVE 10% off all Spanx with my CODE: DEARDARCYXSPANX. Great free shipping and returns, too

See how…mixing what you love with wardrobe builders and trending pieces keeps you looking “Current” without” having to replace everything in your closet.

#2. Wearing Things that don’t work on my (you’re) body! 

Here’s Why everyone’s  figure is different; we don’t have to wear EVERY trend to be “CURRENT” (more later)

-Dressing for your body type will not only help you to feel and look better, but it will also show OFF the little trends you decide to wear better! (More on picking Trends that work on your body type later)

– Being “CURRENT” can be as easy as picking a trending fabric and choosing it in a style that works for you—choosing a trending color and adding that to your accessories. It truly is in the little details, not your whole wardrobe. 

 

#3. Not Caring what people think!

Here’s Why Fashion is an expression of yourself, NOT your AGE!

– When you wear what you genuinely feel good in, you’ll project and wear it with confidence 💕

Follow along with me for more wardrobe tips:

⚠️Follow along with me in 2024 to learn how to dress for your body type, build a classic wardrobe with staple pieces & small trends that will work for you & your body, as well as how to add them into your style without breaking the bank. Sharing more on what to save on and what to splurge on..

-Tips on how to “SHOP” your closet” giving more outfit inspiration and how to create the look with things you already own.

Tips to help you create a Holiday Capsule 

TIP #1: You can easily create your own Holiday Capsule wardrobe, by going through your closet and seeing what could work to be festive… and start your rack. Then you can easily create looks with what you’ve put together.

Fabrics of the season satins, velvets, sequins, faux fur, tartan plaids, Pearl detail, and faux leather.

Colors of the season Shades of Red, green, Ivory, metallic, and black.  Even Navy’s & Pinks💕

Don’t forget to Pull out your festive jewelry, bags, and shoes.

These tips also make it easier to know what you might need to shop for. (A great pair of trousers or a festive sweater.) You get my drift.

Tip #2 make sure everything you pulled fits✔️ nothing worse than thinking you have an outfit planned and then something doesn’t fit correctly.

Tip #3 Make sure your@hair do goes with your Outfit… The hair and makeup are the finishing details and finish off the look. 

High neck or detail wear hair up, stunning statement earrings a chic low ponytail or low bun. bare shoulders hair down or 1/2 up. These are just a few hairdo ideas.

3 outfit Inspirations for Thanksgiving with Spanx

Hello pretty ladies, 

Happy start of a new week, and halfway through November. Where does the time go?

We’re officially a little over a week away from Thanksgiving and I feel so behind already.  I am one of those people who likes to have everything done for Christmas by Thanksgiving. This helps me to be able to take moments to enjoy the season without all the stressful to-do’s floating around in my head.

Cooking, baking, and entertaining take up enough time, without also having to worry about decorating, shopping, wrapping, etc, (you know the Mom list!) I highly recommend making Thanksgiving your deadline as it does help you enjoy the Holidays more.

Today, I am sharing 3 outfit inspirations for Thanksgiving with Spanx.  A casual look to look Chic yet comfy, an Everyday preppy look that could also be worn as office wear with a blazer and a Dressier look think Workwear has taken up a notch. Watch the style video HERE

🚨SAVE 10% off all Spanx with my CODE: DEARDARCYXSPANX Great free shipping and returns too

3 looks for Thanksgiving

Which Thanksgiving look are you? casual Chic Leggings and tunic- perfect to look put together, yet comfy. If your Thanksgiving is a casual get-together you’ll love this look.  

Casual Outfit 

 SPANX’s New fleece faux leather Leggings or you can wear the Regular faux leather leggings and the Air Essentials tunic. 

Leggings- are supportive yet comfortable and if you live in a cold climate the fleece line is heaven. I got True to size in both (medium)

Air essential tunic- is a buttery soft tunic that feels amazing on, fits true to size covers the bum, and has great detailing. I live in mine.

Everyday Preppy

Air Essentials mock tank 

Air Essentials crew neck sweatshirt over the shoulders & plaid pant

This is a look you could wear on repeat from grabbing coffee with a friend, wearing for work with a blazer, or running errands adding a denim jacket and sneakers. What makes it fun for Thanksgiving is this little preppy vibe that gives it a look between casual and dressy. But a little “more” than a sweater & jeans.

Hello pretty ladies,

Can you believe it’s Halloween tomorrow, and the end of October already? I want to know where the fall went! As some of you know I headed to my hometown of Big Bear Lake, California last Thursday for a long weekend to be with my Childhood bestie and her family for the celebration of life for her dad.

Just Call me Martha With a Hack… Biscuits and Ber Just Call me Martha With a Hack…

Biscuits and Berries recipe is what “is this “Sunday’s in the Kitchen with D’Arcy”

I had heard good things about @magnoliatable  Buttermilk Biscuits,
And I’ve been wanting to try them. 

I thought that would be a good quick hack to serve them for a Sunday breakfast treat.

I brushed them with 🧈French Butter and French flaky Salt… (makes all the difference) you could eat them just like that…

I served them with Homemade Whipping cream and my Strawberry sauce along with Fresh Berries🍓🫐🌱

So so good… this would be a great brunch side dish or dessert as well.

These biscuits would make a great mini breakfast sandwich- egg cheese and bacon✔️
Or my Family’s  favorite-Biscuit’s and Gravy 

❤️save to reference later

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31

I hope you have a day full of Gods Blessings and good food

What are you having for Sunday dinner?

We making. Grilled Filet mignon, scalloped potatoes, Asparagus and Baby carrots, homemade Baked Bruschetta bread, and a couple appetizers… 

Plus we’re all looking forward to our Baby Fix💙💙💙💙

Happy Sunday pretty ladies💋 D’Arcy
