Styling: The 3rd piece rule

October 10, 2022

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.Ā 

Creating different looks:

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

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.

8 Staple pieces to UP your Fall WardrobeĀ 

Ā 

Hello pretty ladies!

Today, I am so excited to share. I will be onĀ Good Things Utah sharing: A Fashion Segment on “8 Staple Pieces To UP Your Fall Wardrobe” You can stream the segment HEREĀ or Live at 10:00 am Mnt. On local channel 4/KTVX. Below: I am sharing a complete list of all the items I am sharing on the show and a couple of styling tips.

Ā Purchasing classic pieces is always my first suggestion to build a great wardrobe. I do, however, love that you can pick up a few key trending pieces at affordable prices to help give your whole wardrobe a fresh, updated look.

 

8 Staple pieces to UP your Fall WardrobeĀ 

8 Staple pieces to UP your Fall WardrobeĀ šŸ‚

-Platform loafersĀ 

– A good button up

-Cropped Cardigan

-Faux Leather (sharing crop pants and skirt)Ā 

-Wide leg Jean

-Dark slim straight leg

-Western vibe (sharing sweater and boots)Ā 

 

A few essential clothing and accessory pieces can be added to your Fall wardrobe to give it an updated look. These eight key Staple pieces are trending this Fall and work well to mix and match with your own pieces.

Trending Pieces

Every season we see a few new trends come into play, and it’s always fun to add a couple of these trends to your wardrobe that can give your classic pieces a fresh new look.

Platform loafers 8 Staple pieces to UP your Fall WardrobeĀ 

A fun way to update your classic look, These shoes are the perfect go-to shoes for Fall and can be worn with anything from jeans to shorts, from skirts to dresses. I love them styled with slightly cropped frayed jeans, a great tee or sweater, and a blazer.Ā 

Purchase Here and use code DARCY10 for 10% off

Button up

Yes, a great button-up is always a classic wardrobe staple. But think about an oversized gauze button-up in excellent Fall color. This oversized button-up makes a great piece worn alone with jeans but is a perfect (3rd piece) statement layer worn open over a bodysuit.Ā

Trending Pants

While we’re seeing every style of jeans/pants in fashion right now, here are a few that are having a moment.

Faux leather-

Leather is traditionally a textile for Fall and winter, But it is coming in strong this year, showing up not only in jackets but in every style of pants. From skinny, wide leg crop, straight leg, and bow waisted.Ā 

Ā  Great for adding texture to your wardrobe and easy to style. Pair with Denim, classic button-up, plaid, a blazer, or even a cardigan depending on the style you want to achieve.

Let’s Talk Trending Jeans:

The wide leg– wide-leg lengthens your legs, accentuates your waistline, and shows off all your curves, making it an incredibly flattering silhouette on bodies of all shapes and sizes.Ā 

8 Staple pieces to UP your Fall WardrobeĀ 

A flared leg– Universally flattering, flared jeans come in numerous iterations, including high, mid, and low rise waists – regardless of body type, there’s a pair that will work for you. The wider hemline helps to balance out pear shapes, larger busts, and wide shoulders, as well as drawing the eye down and away from your middle.

Slim straight leg-These always-right jeans lay the groundwork for great style with a classic, clean-cut fit.

What To Wear, When Transitioning From Summer To Fall

Indio and Green

Straight-leg jeans are the more laid-back, less body-conscious cousin of skinny jeans. If you do not love skin-tight jeans, try straight jeans instead. Hourglass, apple, and athletic shapes will all rock a straight leg with style and grace.

8 Staple pieces to UP your Fall WardrobeĀ 

Skinny jeans– while they aren’t trending, they still have a place in our closet.Ā This is a jean that works with the Tall boots and the trending western boots, plus balances the oversized western cardigans and even blazers.Ā 

(I will share next week how to style your skinny jeans in a fresh way.)

8 Staple pieces to UP your Fall WardrobeĀ 

 

The Cropped Cardigan

It pairs well with high-waisted pants, mid-rise, and flared styles. The cropped sweater, cardigan, and jackets add balance to this pants style!Ā 

I like the hip-length style for my shape as I don’t have a waist and am more straight up and down and hide a touch of tummy. If you want to accentuate your waist, purchase a cropped piece that is more tapered versus boxy.

Western Vibe/ Yellowstone trend:

The western vibe has been inching its way into Fall fashion for a couple of seasons, and this year it’s here in a BIG way. The look of the west is here, and I am all about itāœ”ļø Today, I am sharing a couple of pairs of Boots. A cowboy pair and a tall western inspired

8 Staple pieces to UP your Fall WardrobeĀ 

The Western Boots:

We’re seeing western-inspired boots and cowboy boots everywhere, and they’re being styled with dresses & skirts and flares and skinny-to-skies with cropped pants.Ā 

Tall western boots can be worn with Skinny jeans, leggings, and dresses and skirts.Ā 

White Cowboy style boots can also be worn with the above but work great under a flared and some straight-leg jeans.

Western-inspired booties are also all the rage and can be worn with cropped pants, dresses and skirts, and jeans as long as there are about 1 1/2 inches of space between the boot and hem.

Western-inspired Cardigans:

I love the Aztec/ western vibe of the oversized cardigan and sweaters of the season. A great warm and cozy mountain vibe with a little fresh update.Ā Worn great with your skinny jeans and tall boots for balance. Yet, looks comfy with your straight-leg jeans or worn over a shirt dress.

Fall Transition outfits with Color

Fall transition outfits with Color šŸ‚šŸ

Fall Transition outfits with Color

Hello pretty ladies; I hope you are having a great month. It seems as if September is flying by; we are seeing a glimmer of Fall weather here and there in Utah, but we still have the High 80s and low 90s, which makes wearing Fall sweaters and layers a little HOT! šŸ™‚ Today, I thought I would share a few tips with you to get that fall vibe without the heat. I am sharing a few tips for Fall Transition outfits with Color.

 

Are you transitioning your outfits for Fall?

Fall Transition outfits with Color

Style Tip Fall color:

Try using Color… Fall transition doesn’t mean you have to add layers. It could be as simple as changing your color palletāœ”ļø

 

Here I am wearing an oversized Gauze button-up by @petalandpup. It’sĀ a perfect shade of Spiced Rust, paired with Cropped Mothers jeans, a pair of sandal clogs, and a Spiced Rust Felt hatšŸ‚šŸ

A Fall feeling… but the top breaths and is lightweight, cropped jeans, and open-toe shoes… easy to wear on an Indian summer day, yet gives the ā€œfeelā€ we want in the FALL monthsšŸ‚šŸ

Fall Transition outfits with Color

Style Tip:

Pull out your Fall colored clothing….Shades of cream, tans, browns, pumpkins, golden yellow, mustard, Rust, merlot, and plum. You’ll be surprised at what you can create for Fall from the Color you are ready to own.

Style Tip for Fall:

Most of us can’t wait to layer up in the Fall… but temperatures aren’t complyingšŸšŸ‚ So, add on Fall accessories! Change your sandal for a bootie or mule with a felt hat, a suede, or a leather bag. Easy to do and doesn’t add heatšŸ”„

Tip 2

Work in odd numbers, an interior design trick is to work in odd numbers, 3,5,7, etc. This adds balance and helps create clusters that work to keep the eye wandering along with interest.Ā Ā 

Tip 3Ā 

Use items you love, use a variety of items in different textures and materials. Use different sizes and heights. This not only adds interest but keeps your display from being flat.Ā

Drop it like it’s HOT…. Balancing Menopause and m Drop it like it’s HOT….

Balancing Menopause and midlife can be trickyāœ”ļø

From weight gain, mood swings, sleepless nights, dry skin and lady parts, hair loss, eyesight issues, bone loss to personal summers (hot flashes)….. 

Boy hitting 40-50-60’s sounds fun šŸ˜…šŸ¤£ Actually, it really isn’t that bad, and life is what you make of it, Plus  getting old is a privilege….

In today’s time, we’re lucky because menopause is a Topic WE TALK about NOW, and we have more information and resources to HELP us, unlike our mothers.

Not everyone has every symptom nor do they experience every symptom. 

This is a topic I’ve shared a lot about over on my blog and in future more on my substack (join for free in my bio) 

Below ā¬‡ļø are a few things I’ve found very helpful from my journey over the last 10 years to now, starting at about 44 years old.

-A Homeopathic Hormone replacement specialist- I went at 44 when I gained 12-15 pounds for no reason, had hair loss and wasn’t feeling like myself and went on Bio- identical hormone replacement for about 4 years and the weight feel off and I started to feel like myself again. I stopped I. 2020 due to not being able to get to doctors.. 

-Start a good clean supplement program (not a Doctor) but here’s what helped me.
Magnesium- zinc- Vitamin D3- vitamin K 
-a good women’s multivitamin - 
B-12 shots- Collagen- Colostrum- bone marrow- probiotic, a cranberry supplement and - creatine - NAD- primrose (I have a few others I take as well) full list is on blog 

- Doubled my water intake - (140-160 oz a day) added Fiber- chia seeds- pinch of salt to it … (I do 1/2 teaspoon baking soda twice a week) 

-Daily walks and I added a weighted vest about 4 years ago 

-A cup of warm lemon water to start the day 

- I shoot  for 100 grams of protein daily (I don’t always get this) I just try to get close

-Scalp treatments - Rosemary oil and rosemary supplements 

- Coolnight pjs and cooling sheets  I don’t get or experience hot flashes, but sleeping cooler help me sleep betterā¤ļø

- cleansing oil & after Shower oil help with dry skin

-Red light therapy mask helps facial skin and neck

- Derma-planing face helps skin texture and for products to sink in
Melanoma Skin Cancer Journey Here’s a couple thi Melanoma Skin Cancer Journey 

Here’s a couple things I’ve learned on my Journey that I thought I’d share with you I found interesting and very helpful..
 ( now, I am not a doctor) these are things I’ve researched and though I’d share my findings, but you can do your own research :) 

I share in hopes to bring awareness and the importance of getting your skin checked at least once a year.

ā€¼ļø 2 things:

-The importance of taking zinc— zinc supplements helps your body give off a natural defense to the suns rays.

āš ļø Like anything I need to stress how important it is to read your labels and start using clean Supplements.  You want to get what you’re paying for and not ā€œfillersā€ verses the actual minerals and herbs.

- A clean beauty mineral based 
Sunscreen with a high level of Zinc! READ your labels and the ingredientsll

MOST sunscreens have harmful ingredients and hormone disruptors in them! I have 5 brands I love that me and my family use  over on my Liketoknowit or you can comment ā€œshopā€ and I’ll send them to you.

To know:

āš ļø I get my skin checked twice a year and since being diagnosed with melanoma, I now go every 3 months.

Since my surgeries, I’ve had 2 laser’s treatments to help with scaring (shown in slide 2 is my 2nd surgery) done 6 weeks ago.
I actually should have my 3rd laser done this week, but I moved it to July 1st. 

To be honest I really am not in the head space to deal with another treatment this week! šŸ™šŸ» I told you I’d be very honest with you in this journey, and it is a roller coaster of emotions… Laser treatments sometimes trigger that for me.

- Laser treatment can be done every 6 weeks

āš ļøI have 6 parts of my journey up in my feed, 3 of them pinned to top the others you’ll have to scroll through feed and I have detailed highlights as well. 

I hope you find these helpful

The Turkey sandwiches I make All summer long my family loves🄪

Not your ordinary Turkey, Avocado, tomato sandwichešŸ„ŖšŸ„‘šŸ…

First off the Key to these delicious sandwiches is warm crusty bread straight from the oven yet soft on the inside..

My tip is a French baguette ran under water (a tip my Mother in law taught me 33 years ago) placed in the oven for 5-7 minutes- seriously, makes it like you made it fresh… 

-Boards head spicy pepper Turkey freshly sliced from the deli
- Farm Fresh Tomatoes salt & peppered 
-Micro greens (or sprouts) 
- Peppered jack cheese (or your favorite)
-My Smashed Avocado spread

šŸš—Road Trip —Desserts and Poolsā€”šŸŒ“šŸŒŠšŸŒµšŸœļøšŸŒŗ Last leg of šŸš—Road Trip
—Desserts and Poolsā€”šŸŒ“šŸŒŠšŸŒµšŸœļøšŸŒŗ

Last leg of trip…2 days in Las Vegas

- A couple days poolside 
- A couple meals out
-Some shopping (just a little) 
- and yes, we had early nights in…

We’ve been to LV so many times, that we actually don’t enjoy it any more, it’s changed so much over the years, that we actually prefer to have pool time (eat at pool) stay close or at our hotel… Walking the strip is more scary then fun, and the restaurants aren’t what they used to be… people watching isn’t even fun anymore there:(

Lately, We just think of LV as a resting point before we drive the 6-7 long hours home. 

Over the years I’ve shared several amazing LV hotels, restaurants and shopping spots…. Some of those are still good, but several have gotten run down and aren’t the same.  I honestly don’t feel safe in LV and probably won’t have that be a resting point anymore. 

If you’re a gambler or like shows … then LV probably still has appeal, People don’t dress up anymore, the top quality restaurants & hotels aren’t what they used to be, and over priced for what you get. (Trust me we’ve stayed at almost all of the resort’s multiple times) 
I personally think there’s better places to visit. 

šŸ˜‰This is my observation and opinion over the last several times & years we’ve been to Lv. 

How do you feel about Las Vegas?
Have you been recently? 

Sorry, not sorry for my honest review!
