7 Items you need to update your Summer Wardrobe!

 

Hello Pretty Ladies, I hope you have a great start to your week. Today, I have a fashion segment on Good Things Utah. I have chosen to share with you the 7 Items you need to update your Summer Wardrobe on the segment! Of course, it’s always great to use what you have and “shop your closet,” but adding a few pieces to “freshen up your Summer wardrobe” can be affordable and give your wardrobe a minor update.

I have chosen seven essential items that help do just that! Affordable, classics, and a couple of HOT Trending items. Want to watch the segment live? You can stream it Here at 10:00 am mnt. If you miss it, I will Link it Here after the show.

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

4 Summer Dresses From Amazon Any Age Could Wear

 

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

4 Summer Dresses From Amazon Any Age Could Wear

A cream cami strap dress for $24.99 that hits at the knee, is a great basic dress any body type could wear along with any age. I love its almost linen feel, Hides a tummy if you have one and can be worn with or without a little jacket. I’ve styled it with my favorite sandals & bag this summer.

Everyone needs a new little black dress for $25.99 for the summer, and this tee shirt style, cold shoulder, and detailed lace dress is perfect. Another easy-to-wear fits all body types and ages. It hits right above the knee (reminder, I am 5’9 1/2), perfect to wear over a swimsuit or dress it up for a summer date night or lunch with the girls. 

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).

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.

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.”

You Might be a Coastal Grandmother!

Do you love it? You are a #coastalgrandma. This phrase is all about the vibe, not the age….

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.”

Hello pretty ladies, 

Hoping you had a beautiful Mother’s day. I took the day off social media. No Mother’s day tribute to my mom or about being a mom. I love taking the time to do a good tribute and read all of the tributes being posted. But, yesterday, I just wanted to keep my phone put away. I know you, sweet ladies understand that. 

I shared these great shorts by Spanx on Saturday over on my Instagram. “Styled two ways.” I realized that would make for a great quick styling blog post. On the go, 6-inch inseam Spanx shorts fit amazing, are a perfect length for moms and midlifers (if you like your legs), are a flattering fit, and are easy to style from casual to date night.

Spanx isn’t just Shapewear.

Spanx doesn’t just design shapewear anymore. They have a full line of very figure-flattering clothing, from sportswear to dresses. I have been sharing their pieces every season for a while with you as I am a Spanx Partner, which gives me a slight advantage at sharing the Brand New releases just a little bit earlier.

Dressed up short, Styling.

Spanx shorts dressed up, this classic black short, is so easy to dress up for a date night, Summer bridal shower, or even a business lunch meeting, depending on how you style them. I wore a fancier top (lace over black bodice top shown here) paired with pearl accessories and a dressier summer sandal. But you could easily wear them with a blazer and heels with a dressy button-up or blouse. The possibilities are truly endless.

3 Neutral Fashion Looks This Spring From Anthropologie

3 Neutral Fashion Looks This Spring From Anthropologie

3 Neutral Fashion Looks This Spring From Anthropologie

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I am sharing my love for Anthropologie, Neutrals, and my Good friend Shauna from Chic over 50 today on the blog. Shauna and I both love Anthro, yet we couldn’t be so different, she loves a lot of colors, and I love neutrals, she petite and I am tall.  We thought it would be fun to take two pieces, a chambray top and a pair of Mother’s jeans, and style them two ways… Her way and My way and on two different body types. (for size reference, Shauna is 5’1.5″. Size 0-2, I am 5’9.5″ and 6/8)

3 Neutral Fashion Looks This Spring From Anthropologie

Sharing the pieces on two different body types gives you a better vision of what it could look like on you. Both pieces look great in different heights and sizes. Plus, it gives you the style inspiration in 2 ways. So fun, right?

Shop the two pieces below:

 

 

Shauna shares her love of color with three great Anthropologie looks over on her blog Chic over 50. You’ll need to head over there and check out what and how she styled them.

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

Hello Pretty ladies, Spring is here, which means Summer is around the corner! This means spending more time outdoors, and Beach & Lake Vacations are fast approaching. I love nothing more than spending time on the water. Whether poolside or beachside. How about you? Do you have a warm-weather vacation coming up? I have 4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life you will love, not only because they’re so cute but because they pack well too.

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

Cabana Life resort wear is perfect for the whole family. Clothing that protects you, Spf 50, and UV ray protection. Who doesn’t want a little more protection from the sun? 

I love that Cabana Life clothing can take you from the beach to lunch. It’s fashionable and practical.  Every piece travels well, along with not taking up a lot of space. Personally, I love that every collection has a matching swimsuit. I am making packing even more effortless.

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

I took several pieces to Palm Beach, Florida, and it helped me pack and organize my outfits. It can also mix and match some of the collections, like in this outfit above: From the Jetties & Nantucket Collection. The colors work together. Even though the patterns are different, it makes for a fun combination. Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns. As long as the colors are the same, it works out great.

The terry cloth tunics have long been one of my favorite pieces from Cabana Life. I love how you can wear it as a  bathing suit cover-up and a dress…. But it’s even cute, worn as a tunic paired with linen pants. A very versatile piece that takes you from the pool to the street.

Fashion tip: It’s always a good rule of thumb to think of 3 ways you can wear a piece of clothing before purchasing it!

Easy breezy summer dresses! Yes, please! This – dress from the – Collection is a style that looks great on every figure. Perfect for a lunch date or pull-on over a swimsuit. You can’t go wrong with this piece. Add a denim jacket on a cool night. Takes a look from day to evening. The colors in this collection -are the prettiest shade of blue. 

Try Cabana life for your next Tropical vacation. You won’t be disappointed.

What I DIDN’T do to prepare for…Midlife🌸💕 I Didn’t What I DIDN’T do to prepare for…Midlife🌸💕
I Didn’t Worry about it…

Really, why worry about aging… instead YOU can prepare for it!

Knowledge is power, and Midlife now is completely different than how our mothers and grandmothers dealt with it. 

We have more information, conversation, products and help on the topic than generations before.

What you can do to Prepare for Menopause/aging….

-Eat well, 

-Exercise 

-Get outside and get real vitamin D 

- Drink lots of water

-Take supplements that will help the processes

- Ask questions

-Go to a Hormonal Doctor

-Share what works for you with Friends💕

- Get more Protein and Fiber

- Get sleep (it’s hard but figure out what works for you)

💕These are just a few things that can help! (I am not a Doctor) just sharing things I have found that really make a difference.

I am all about A Granny Summer… This COCO has bee I am all about A Granny Summer…

This COCO has been gardening what feels like my whole life, my mom loved gardening and her English gardens were beautiful, her tomatoes and herbs always yummy;) she taught me what each flower & veggies types were and how to grow & care for them etc. 

She would teach our boys “how to smell”  not really, but she would walk them around had have them smell each flower and how they smelt differently.. they’re puffing noses were so cute❤️

Gardening has always been apart of my life , every home, it was fun to rebuild and create… Try new things, depending on the land etc. it’s hard work, yet relaxing and so rewarding…. 

Over the years, I taught myself how to seed my flowers and veggies, what I could dry and harvest, how to can, what I liked to bake with, and  what freezes well. 

I would teach our boys, have them help pick apples and berries, take them to garden shops and have them pick favorites and let them plant, they would dig and help pull weeds… 

Gardening isn’t just for Grannies… it’s a hobby or career you can pick up at any age, but I have to say,  I can’t wait to take our NEW Grandson out to the gardens and learn, dig and plant…. He’s only 6 months and we already know he loves nature, and he loves plants.. he’s at peace in nature and loves to touch all the different plants and trees… he  loves the leaves slightly blowing in the breeze…. He’ll just stare, It’s so cute! 

With age, I do enjoy it more, as I enjoy the slower moments and the time gardening takes…

How about you? How do you feel about gardening?🌱🪴🌻🫛🪏🏡🧑‍🌾🫜⛲️
