The Only White Dress You Need This Summer

 

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you have a beautiful day being celebrated. Today, I’m sharing what I’ll wear to church and brunch with the family, along with a little Mother’s Day message.

My greatest accomplishment is the family we’ve built. Not only the children I birthed, whom I am so proud of and thank God every day for. But also the home we opened up to others. The family came from friends, and the children we’ve been so blessed to have.

A Family is something you build, not something you’re given. Having a whole home, feeding others, opening our hearts, and being a safe space brings immense joy. I am grateful every day for those in our lives and a part of our “FAMILY,” it makes my mama heart happy🤍🤍🤍

Mother’s Day can be hard for some, with their mamas no longer with them or having difficulty becoming one on their own🙏🏻🤍 My heart goes out to you! You’ll be in my prayers🙏🏻

Happy Mother’s Day, pretty ladies, and may your day be full of everything you need it to be.

Midlife Helper: A Daily Water Drink 

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope you had an amazing April and that your May will be full of blessings and pretty weather. The way these Spring months are flying by, it will be the 4th of July before we know it! Can someone push the slowdown button? My mom always said, “Wait until you get older. The time goes by even faster, so enjoy all the moments.” Boy, was she right!

Today, I wanted to share a quick Midlife Helper: a daily water drink. This drink is perfect for skin, metabolism, health, and cravings. It gives you energy and hydrates. ( Please remember I am not a Doctor, I am just sharing something that works for me.)  OX, D’Arcy

Midlife Helper: A Daily Water Drink 

Midlife Helper: A Daily Water Drink 

1  La Croix I like lime

1 scoop collagen- I like dressing your truth by Carol Tuttle

One scoop electrolytes– I like Empowered Electrolytes by Empowered Aging

1 scoop Chia seeds

1 cup of ice water

One cup of Ice

Stir and enjoy. If it’s too sweet, use a bigger cup and add more water. I’ll sometimes add more water as I drink.

Benefits

–Collagen– healthy Hair, skin, and nail support. I like Carols because it’s NON-GMO and filler-free

–Greens– Get your daily allowance of Greens & helps to detox 

–Mix Hers -is 100% natural, zero calories, hormone-friendly

–Electrolytes– Support healthy Nutrient absorption, energy levels, joint flexibility, and muscle building. Includes 9 Essential Amino acids to support Brain health

The daily Scoop fitness greens—by the trusted lab—is a thermogenic and energy-support formula containing 2500 mg of greens, superfoods, reds, and prebiotic fiber. It helps with fat burning, provides immune support, and heightens focus.

All things we need help with in midlife …. If I find mixing it all in one drink helps me to get it all in, and then I can enjoy my 

Detox water drink RECIPE HERE, and my beloved iced tea for the rest of the day.

Flaxseed, chia seed, collagen, super greens, protein powder, and almond butter,

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Can you believe we’re at the end of April and heading into May? That happened so fast! I’ve had a lot going on since the beginning of the year, and I’m finally starting to feel like I’m seeing the light. With May starting tomorrow, that means Mother’s Day is just 10 days away, on Sunday, May 11th. I haven’t made any plans yet, but I’m looking forward to finally getting my pots and garden planted, as Mother’s Day marks the start of the growing season in Utah, when it’s safe to grow without a major freeze. Hallelujah! 

I’ll share more about my garden, including my weekend garden shares, tips, and other updates, in future posts. I do have a great Garden Gift Ideas blog post up here, if you’re interested. Do you have a garden-loving mom?  I am sharing several of the items I love and use. 

Today, I have our monthly blog share with Dawn, Cindy, and Stephanie. We’re sharing all things Mother’s Day! Today, I invite you to join me and my mom featuring NYDJ, where you can share moments with us and discover top sellers on sale that are chic, on-trend, and comfortable for all ages.

The oversized shirt boasts a stylish denim look, but it’s crafted from cool and breezy lyocell, which lends it a lightweight drape.

Not to mention how beautiful all the flowers were to look at and fill your home with cut blooms. This also created my love of flower arranging.

If you’re not following me on Instagram, you can do so here. If you’d like to take a peek into my garden, I’ve created a highlight here that you might want to watch. I also share gardening and floral tips in my weekly newsletter. If you haven’t signed up for my newsletter, you can do that HERE.

Spend Your Spring in Comfort and Style with These Must-Have Shoes

April 9, 2025

Spend Your Spring in Comfort and Style with These Must-Have Shoes

Spend Your Spring in Comfort and Style with These Must-Have Shoes

As the weather gets warmer and spring rolls in, it’s always a good idea to switch things up and refresh your lifestyle. It can be something as simple as brightening up the dining table with a new springtime appetizer, such as tulip baguette bites. A previous post guides you through this easy-to-follow recipe that requires a few simple ingredients, including French baguette, cherry tomatoes, basil, chives, and spreadable cheese.

Aside from introducing new additions to your menu, springtime presents the perfect opportunity to update your wardrobe. To start, you can experiment with the latest spring dress trends, ranging from a cherry red palette as a fashion statement to boho chic vibes characterized by flowy fabrics, ruffles, and fringes.

Whatever trend you plan to incorporate into your everyday look, it goes without saying that a spring outfit wouldn’t be complete without footwear. Shoes not only enhance your style but also serve a practical purpose for comfort, so here are footwear options that balance fashion and function and are worth adding to this season’s wardrobe.

Leather sandals

Spend Your Spring in Comfort and Style with These Must-Have Shoes

If you’ve become tired of wearing thick, chunky shoes during winter to protect your feet and trudge through the snow, it’s time to let your toes breathe by wearing leather sandals. While sandals have always been a warm-weather staple, you can elevate your style for springtime by looking into different leather finishes, straps, and cutouts.

QVC’s curated shoes section has a wide range of chic sandals to choose from, such as Clarks Footwear’s Laurieann Bell, which features a round toe and an adjustable strap for lightweight and comfortable wear. Meanwhile, White Mountain’s Hardball slide sandals in white have double straps and a cork midsole, making them perfect for casual brunches with friends or a picnic at the park.

Ballet flats

Spend Your Spring in Comfort and Style with These Must-Have Shoes

Ballet flats are expected to be the it-shoe of 2025, especially with luxury brands like Alaïa and Gucci releasing their own takes on the classic flats for their spring/summer 2025 collections. Whether you opt for Alaïa’s bejeweled flats or Gucci’s strapped styles, these shoes are a must-have since they’re versatile and can be styled with wide-legged trousers, denim jeans, and slips and dresses.

However, if you’re planning to be out and about this spring, it’s worth considering the ballet flats from luxury label Patou’s collaboration with Japanese sportswear brand Onitsuka Tiger. The flats blend Patou’s distinctive feminine style with the sleek playfulness of Onitsuka Tiger sneakers. Made of Nappa leather and available in a pink and black colorway, these shoes are ideal for springtime walks around the neighborhood.

Spend Your Spring in Comfort and Style with These Must-Have Shoes

Kitten heels

Lastly, those looking to add a more feminine touch to their wardrobes can opt for kitten heels, which help you look equally chic and comfortable with the slender, low-mid heel. Like the aforementioned sandals and ballet flats, kitten heels have been around for decades, popularized by the French fashion house Dior.

However, they’ve emerged in modern, reimagined styles in recent years, as seen in celebrities like Ariana Grande and Sydney Sweeney. Grande wore her white kitten heels with a bow detail and lacy tights, while Sweeney looked effortlessly stylish in a casual tee, mini skirt, and open-toed kitten heels from Miu Miu. You may also find affordable options of this side-walk friendly heel on Charles & Keith, with their contemporary designs ranging from thong sandals to slingback Mary Janes.

As you strut into spring with these fabulous footwear options, consider checking out the other blog posts here at Dear D’Arce for more fashion inspiration.

9 Fresh Looks For Spring With Chicos

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I am excited to share this Spring collection with you today. I hand-picked pieces from Chico’s latest collections to create this Spring capsule wardrobe. You can build some basics and add a few spring statement pieces with a touch of on-trend pieces to keep you looking current. These pieces will also mix well with pieces you already own in your closet. I love you could easily pack these outfits for a trip and mix and match them to create multiple looks. 

Fresh pieces for spring are on trend and make great wardrobe builders that mix and match well. Add to your wardrobe pieces that you’ll wear on repeat and can take you into Summer. You’ll love the bold colors paired with fresh whites and pieces that take you from the weekend to the work week.

Spring Collection  Tips

This collection would also make an excellent travel wardrobe capsule. Its Fresh looks for Spring are also great wardrobe builders. I hope you enjoy my picks and how I styled them today. Over the next few months, I’ll feature these pieces styled differently to give you more inspiration.

Three Ways to Style Floral Pants

Three Ways to Style Floral Pants

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Today’s a fun day on the blog. Not only is it Way to Wear Wednesday, but it’s also the last Wednesday of the month, which means it’s also a blog hop day. Today, the ladies are sharing all things Springs. I can’t wait to read all the ladies’ blogs this morning, see what they’re focusing on, and share with the Spring theme. I’ve Linked all for Ladies at the end of this Post: Dawn, Cindy, Stephanie, and Shelley. Shelley is NEW to our Blog Hop, and we think you’ll love her and her blog.

Three Ways to Style Floral Pants this Spring. Floral prints aren’t something new for Spring, but how we style the print can be fresh, finding a fun floral pattern that grabs your attention and finding a floral print on something you might not already own in a floral print. In my case, it was jeans.

I found these beautiful Leon Double Hem High-Rise Wide-Leg Cuffed Jeans by Pilcro: Floral Edition, and as soon as I laid eyes on them, I knew they had to be mine. Not having anything like them in my wardrobe. I am not a big floral pattern girl, and it is hard to believe. You would think I would own a ton of florals, but I don’t own a lot of prints. I love floral prints and patterns but always buy Stripes and checks.

This pair of  The Leon Double Hem High-Rise Wide-Leg Cuffed Jeans by Pilcro: Floral Edition Is calling my name, too. It is the color pallet I am most drawn to: Neutrals.

Wear what makes you feel good.

Style is very personal. It has nothing to do with fashion. Fashion is over quickly. Style is forever.” – Ralph Lauren.

“Style is the only thing you can’t buy. It’s not in a shopping bag, a label, or a price tag. It’s something reflected from our soul to the outside world—an emotion.”

I adore these quotes. They are a great reminder that you are “your style,” and you don’t have to be dictated by trends …. Wear what makes you feel good.

Three Ways to Style Floral Pants

With that said…

Today, I am sharing Three Ways to Style these Floral Pants.

First Way to Style Floral Pants

This is probably one of my favorite Spring outfits. I can’t wait for the weather to allow me to wear it.

Second Way to Style Floral Pants

Spring in Utah requires a sweater—or, as we say in the styling world, “a third piece.” The Cashmere Quince button-up cardigan is so cozy and soft. Tucking in a cardigan is an excellent trick for giving your sweaters a fresh look. This is a great everyday Spring look.

Third Way to Style Floral Pants

Pull the beautiful shade of blue out of the floral print by pairing it with a Blue faux leather jacket. Mine is a Charlie B, and Madison Maison slides in the same shade. Keeping it neutral with a mocha long-sleeve crew neck. Silver is making a strong appearance this Spring, and I am here for it. I love this silver, and I wear silver hoops and a Kendra Scott necklace.

Everyday Outfit Spring Sweater Layers

Everyday Outfit Spring Sweater Layers

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I am sharing quick and easy outfit inspiration with you today. If you like an outfit, you might have similar items in your closet to create a similar look. Try Layering a sweater over a sweater. It’s a fun way to layer textures and something a little differentEveryday Outfit Spring Sweater Layers .Everyday Outfit Spring Sweater Layers are great wardrobe builders you’ll wear year-round. They are separate, and you can mix and match them throughout the seasons. I love Classic pieces to build your wardrobe…pieces that can take you into Spring, mixing and matching with pieces you already own, yet can also take you into other seasons. Classic pieces are those key pieces that are “keepers,” meaning you can own them for years without them going out of style.

I talk about wardrobe building often, as I firmly believe in building a wardrobe full of classics and sprinkling in seasonal trends to refresh it. Here, I have combined affordable pieces with a bit of luxury for a timeless look.

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 ⚠️
