Over 40 Style-Dresses Perfect for Spring Events

Over 40 Style-Dresses Perfect for Spring Events

Over the years, I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.” —Yves Saint Laurent”

 Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope you’ve had a great week. Can you believe how fast April is just flying by? It seems like It was just April Fools Day, and now we’re almost to the last week. I’ve had so much to want to share with you, but there are not enough hours in the day to get it all done. Today, I hope to do a quick ruffled dress styling for you. I’ve found two fabulous Amazon dresses under $53. These are flattering on every body type and work for many spring and summer events and parties.

 Really, with all the occasions to wear dresses in Spring and Summer, these two darling and very affordable dresses could be worn not only as wedding guest dresses but also to Graduations, Mother’s Day brunches, Garden parties, and bridal showers.

Crushing on Blue

This Calf-length cornflower blue halter-style dress is easy to wear, flattering on every body type, and fits true to size. It’s no secret I’ve been crushing on this color and how stunning it is paired with these bow nude heels, custom-made Coastal Clutch NY bag, and Julie Vos Jewelry.

Perfect styling for a Wedding Guest look, Bridal shower, or Mother’s Day brunch. Change the shoes and accessories to a raffia sandal and clutch for a beautiful resort dinner dress.

Orange One Should Ruffle Dress

This little one-shoulder Orange ruffled dress hits above the knee and has been my best seller. It’s a little flirty and a touch sexy, yet still classy. This dress is great for a night out on the town, a date night, or cocktails with friends. I have styled it with a pop of leopard for a fun, flirty look, but you could easily restyle this number with nude or raffia heels and a clutch for a wedding or vacation look. The gold beaded jewelry by Lisi Lurch is my daily go-to; it is affordable and high-quality. They do not tarnish.

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.

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.

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

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. 

-Help YOU (Get rid of what doesn’t work)

Black Friday Sales Guide Starts Now

Black Friday Sales Guide Starts Now

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Happy Friday! Is it me or do the weeks keep going by faster and faster? I’ve had the whole week to myself, as my guys went to Las Vegas for a Formal one-race week. I was supposed to go and decided I would really like to have time alone at home to get caught up and get things done. Although I did accomplish quite a bit, I didn’t get everything checked off my list, and a little disappointed that tie just flies by. Do you ever feel like that? Or do we just try to accomplish too much in too short of time?

What’s Happening today

Today, I decided to do a little different share for Friday, As all of the Black Friday sales are starting or starting soon, I thought it would be a good idea to combine a great gift guide that is all items on SALE. Who doesn’t want to purchase great gifts and get them on sale? A sales round-up with shopping links and discount codes to save even more was something I thought you would love.

My Black Friday Sales Guide Starts Now, Some sales have already started and some are starting any day. I have shared the dates and easy links (just tap on the brand name and It will take you straight to shopping) Make sure to use the codes I’ve provided at checkout as some are stackable for more savings.

3 outfit Inspirations for Thanksgiving with Spanx

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 outfit Inspirations for Thanksgiving with Spanx

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.

3 outfit Inspirations for Thanksgiving with Spanx

Shop the look below:

3 outfit Inspirations for Thanksgiving with Spanx

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.

3 items that help build your “staple wardrobe” and can be styled in multiple ways. You’ll wear these pieces for work, play, social events, and occasions you need to take it up a notch just by how you style them. 

3 Spanx pieces

Spanx wide-leg plaid pants-

Spanx Crepe blazer –

Button up blouse- 

What makes it look dressier is the accessories, ditch the work pump and add a cute open-toed heel, here I am wearing a kitten heel (comfy yet, dressier) Julie Vos’s jewelry is perfect for the Holidays and dresses up any look.

Friday Favorites And Weekend Sales #13

Friday Favorites And Weekend Sales #13

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Where did October go? I think that was the fastest month ever. November is another crazy month that flies by and I can’t believe we are now 7 weeks away from Christmas. I am in full Christmas mode, not that I want to skip Thanksgiving, but because I love to enjoy the month of December. So, I take November to do all my Holiday prep. This way I can enjoy the season and spend time with family and friends without all the pressure that we moms have. 

I have found over the years prepping and preparing has really helped me enjoy all the things I love about the Holiday season. We can enjoy a decorated home, entertain guests with ease, have PJs & Christmas movie days in front of the fire, bake Christmas treats, Go to Holiday parties, Head to the Mall to just window shop & take in the hustle and bustle of the Holiday, and have a Holiday date night, see a Christmas program, and drive around to see Christmas lights without the ” To Do List” haunting my brain. 

 I love to cook for our friends and family and will be hosting Thanksgiving like most years, and my goal every year is to be ready for Christmas by Thanksgiving. I am off to a great start. I’ll be sharing my progress here and on Instagram stories.

What I am actually wearing this Spring…. Living in What I am actually wearing this Spring…. Living in Utah as a over 50 Wife, Mom, COCO and content Creator💋

Utah Weather in the Spring 🌱
Calls for layers….

Spring weather here can be “Schizophrenic” from a blizzard  To sunny and 60 in a day!

Although we’ve had an unusually strange winter this year, Spring still calls for layers.

Bundling up for the morning, and being able to take pieces off throughout the day, makes a great tip for Utah Springs.

I like classic pieces, in light colors and weights, yet work when layered to keep you warm.

Pieces you can mix and match, great wardrobe builders and add some texture.

- lighter weight & color long Wool coat , looks chic over shoulders, yet not to hot when on (I have a rain coat too) 

-Classic trousers are still trending and a great option to look more polished, shades of cream, tan and camel are great for Spring (works well with pastels too)

- Light weight, thinner ribbed mock neck turtleneck. I love the feel and fit of these. Affordable too.

- Vest are a great Spring layer, and the large Plaid/check in neutral shades keeps in classic and add interest. Yet, light enough for spring for layering and not sweat to death 😂
(I love linen vests too) 

- Adding texture with a fluffy & light fur on one shoulder (well still be seeing fur details for Spring)  Draped on one shoulder does add heat, like wearing around your neck does.

- Classic jewelry in gold & silver mix… and yes, I layered and stacked it on… classic pieces & yet layered gives your look a little edge. 

- Western suede pointed toe booties, elongate the leg, add more texture and keep your feet warmer but not too warm. 

Do you need layers in the Spring where you live?

❤️Follow for more Spring layer Outfits…. I have several style, color and on trend. While classic looks coming your way….

This Chapter…. My Melanoma Cancer Journey Shari This Chapter…. 
My Melanoma Cancer Journey 

Sharing my journey this far…Today, is 3 week post surgery.
 
Being told you have cancer is a roller coaster of emotions…
This is a journey none of us think you’re going to head down.

You can choose so many different paths to let your brain and emotions go…

I choose to give it to God, and to ask for your prayers, along with following my heart.

I knew I needed to stay positive and trust the process.
(Did I have scary thoughts and some tears, YES, Yes I did) 
But, honesty it wasn’t long. 

Once I gave it over, and trusted him and the process, along with asking for your prayers. 

I was at complete peace. Thank you for all my prayer warriors, I know I got the results I did because of you and your prayers. 

I’ve been told, I am strong, a warrior and so brave for sharing my journey. 
Honestly, I truly don’t feel that way at all, I fell like it’s a process to share, to help others and to help it not feel as scary! 

I didn’t know what to expect,  didn’t know what having my face cut up, or knowing what any of the processes or procedures were (I would have loved to have known…)

If I was going through this and these emotions, so were others. 

My hope in sharing  the journey, would help others to know the importance of getting your skin checked. 
In knowing the processes, and knowing we can do scary things, and we can get through them.

They say it takes a village to raise kids, but it also takes a village & prayers to get through life.🙏🏻

Thank you for all your support, love, prayers, DMs and messages of support.
I couldn’t have done it without all of you🙏🏻

Tomorrow is my first laser🙏🏻💪🏻
I’ll share who that goes in stories tomorrow 😉

⚠️Please note Melanoma is a very aggressive Skin cancer and is very different than other “skin cancers” I explained more about this in my prior lives.

⚠️Share this post, if you know someone going through melanoma ⚠️
