2 Over 40 Outfit Inspirations: Coastal Vibes

Happy Friday, Pretty Ladies,

While in California a couple of weeks ago, we had to head to one of my favorite spots in Newport Beach: Lido Marina Village. This cute little shopping area on the Marina has cute coffee shops, darling boutiques, and yummy restaurants with beautiful views of the Marina and dining on the boardwalk.

If you like cute coastal spots with fabulous shops, yummy food, or great coffee with a view, add this to your list while in California.

I am doing a quick blog post on 2 Over 40 Outfit Inspirations:

I know you’ll love these pieces as much as I do, and on the Spanx pieces, you can save 10% with my code DEARDARCYXSPANX

“The sound and smell of the sea cleanses my soul.”

This California girl loves the Ocean! I’m bringing you a little Black-and-White Coastal Vibe with a touch of Denim….

Now about the look number 1:

A little Black-and-White Coastal Vibe with a touch of Denim….All Clothing is Spanx’s,

The New Air Essentials Cropped tee shirt hits the right spot for high-waisted pants.🖤🤍 The Pants are the “perfect pants” and genuinely are perfect black pants. They are comfortable, have stretch, and fit true to size. (If you are tall, get the Talls.) I am 5 feet 91/2 inches and got the regular length, and they’re too short.

The Denim jacket with a belted waist is also a Spanx piece that is so flattering and a perfect weight for Summer nights or coastal breezes. I finished the look with a Spanx Air Essentials crew – neck sweatshirt over my shoulders. A Lack of Color Straw Hat, Julie Voz Jewelry, and Jeffery Campbell sandals. Summer accessories you’ll wear on repeat all Summer long.

🚨SAVE 10% off all Spanx with my CODE: DEARDARCYXSPANX

Easy Coastal vibe…. Pairing Red and white

Something about White jeans paired with a stripe—these are frayed kick flare by Express—always gives me a coastal vibe. This is NOT your typical blue-and-white stripe coastal look! Try a little something different with a red-and-white stripe. This bright, cheery Red gives a fun little twist, perfect for the entire summer social season while looking classic. 3/4 Sleeve Air Essential Tee Spanx. Grab the denim Shorts HERE

Adding a straw hat, Red millers, and gold Jewelry make the look perfect for a Coastal touch.

I am ready for a coastal breeze, seaside shopping, and a lunch with an ocean view.

On a Side Note: One of my Favorite Summer fragrances is BEACH by Bobbi Brown, and I found an incredible $24 Dupe HERE

One Color that works with every outfit

One Color That Works With Every Outfit

Hello, pretty Ladies,

I hope you enjoyed your Holiday weekend. We had a great weekend at home, with beautiful weather. We worked in our yard and had a BBQ with the kids. I am so grateful for those who have served and have served this great country and some who have made the greatest sacrifices. I feel blessed to come from a long line of those who have served; we are so proud of them. And that we have a day to remember & celebrate our military.

With Memorial Day over, we are kicking off the Summer season, including longer days, warmer weather, outdoor social events, and travel. If you’re like me, you can’t wait to soak it all up.

I am doing a blog hop with my three blogger friends, Dawn, Cindy, and Suzanne, sharing Summer. The theme was anything summer-related, so check out their blog posts today to see what they shared. I have their blogs linked at the end of this post.

Today, I am Sharing One color that works with every outfit: (Cognac, Saddle Brown, or Caramel. There are three names for one color.) It’s a timeless, elegant, and sophisticated color—a true classic. It also works in every season, and summer is one of my favorites.

What should I purchase in this color?

Accessories Are the best place to use this color. Invest in a great handbag. I love this Vegan Tote. I’ve had it for three years and am happy it’s still available. It is my best seller and matches my Tory Burch Miller sandals perfectly. That said, you need a great pair of shoes in the same color. And a belt. I found this pair of Sandals in a major sale.

Three key Accessories

These three essential Accessories will transform all your summer outfits and help you transform the pieces you own in your closet. These three key pieces work with all colors. They help elevate and add polish to your simplest t-shirt and denim, creating a quiet luxury look. I’ve shared a variety of outfits and ways you can style the tote and sandals to give you an idea of the color’s versatility.

Summer Style & Trend

This summer season, accessories made from raffia straw are on trend. Several have been mixed with trim or details in Cognac leather, making for the ultimate summer accessories. I just ordered this Hobo bag by Eric Javits. It’s a classic shape with the perfect intricate crochet raffia straw and Napa leather binding and handles. I found a similar feel but in a classic tote style HERE for a more affordable option, and this Classic Summer tote is another affordable-price point option.

The raffia straw trend, which we see in everything from Earrings to belts, sandals, and bags, is another excellent option for adding a summer flair to your look while working with pieces you might already own in your closet. This is a great and affordable way to update your wardrobe without spending much money. Adding the Cognac trim to the raffia just elevates the acessorires. Below are a few pieces I’ve picked up or are in my cart.
