New Fall Try-on at Evereve

New Fall try-on at Evereve. There is something about Fall Clothing that always has me wanting more. The Layers, cozy sweaters, fun boots, and cute jackets. It’s a season I can’t resist adding more pieces to my collection. Evereve gets new arrivals daily, and I love the brands they carry. Pieces of clothing work for moms and midlifers, classics and trending clothing, yet brands you know last.

I love pieces you can mix and match. I wanted to create great outfit inspirations for this Fall try-on using some of the same pieces to show you how versatile they could be and give you multiple looks. So, over on Instagram, I created an IGTV  complete try-on video, talking about each piece, how they fit, sizing, and more details.

Station Park is a beautiful Shopping and dining experience in Farmington, Ut. I have been lucky to have been working with them for over a year. It’s been a pure pleasure as it’s one of my family’s favorite destinations for shopping and dining. Twigs Bistro is one of my family’s favorite restaurants ( I share them often in my stories). Their food is so good, and they have an awesome weekend brunch. I knew I wanted to share with my Girlfriends. Trust me. They loved it! You can’t go wrong with any of their dishes. I love the Chicken cobbs salad, their truffle fries, and gorgonzola cheese sauce is to die for, and you can’t leave without having the Drunkin doughnuts. 

Twigs is a family-owned restaurant (which you know how much I love supporting small), but they do have 5 other locations in other states. so make sure to check out their website for other locations.

Here are a few tips on how to pull off retro fashion in 2021:

Here are a few tips on how to pull off retro fashion in 2021:

Here are a few tips on how to pull off retro fashion in 2021:

The term “retro” refers to anything that references the past, and we all know the fashion industry loves a good comeback. In fact, fashion stylist Heather Newberger says that clothing trends tend to go through 30-year cycles. For instance, we are now seeing a lot of denim popular in the 90s worn by the latest generation of fashionistas, and it’ll eventually reappear later down the line. So dressing retro is actually always in vogue.

Whether you have a closet to borrow retro items from or you’re working with modern pieces, here are a few tips on how to pull off retro fashion in 2021:

Mix and match colors and prints

The ‘80s were all about bright colors and loud prints, so don’t be afraid to match bright pants with an oversized shirt with a contrasting color. A loose black lace top with a bright mini skirt and neon tights is also an interesting ensemble. But, of course, if you don’t feel brave enough for a loud outfit, you can add some modern pieces instead. Our ‘Tulle at Any Age’ feature shows how you can pair the fabric with denim and patterned heels to dress it down.

Rock retro sneakers

Retro sneakers are classics, and because of how versatile they are, they’re easy to pair with any outfit. In particular, though, retro sneakers give off a laid-back sporty aesthetic. For example, Reebok’s skate-inspired Club C sneakers are a minimalistic pair with a white base and a few green highlights, making them perfect for a casual yet put-together look. Meanwhile, the Nike Daybreak sneakers provide a pop of color with orange and brown. Retro sneakers tend to have muted colors, neutral tones, or minimalistic designs so that you can rock them with any outfit.

Shop some Retro kicks below:

Consider interesting shapes

When thinking about outfit shape and retro-style designs, one image that comes to mind is bell-bottom jeans. In the ‘70s, especially, pants were also hip huggers and high-waisted. They also tended to have designs like embroidery, embellishments, and studs. But, of course, you can also go for some color, such as Alexander McQueen’s mid-rise flared pants or the Rebecca Vallance Amina high-rise flared crepe pants, as the ‘70s was also the time of glam rock and disco fashion. Meanwhile, the ‘50s were all about dresses with soft shapes and defined waists.

Shop some great flares I love below:

Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize

For ‘80s retro-Style, the chunkier and louder, the better. Go crazy with colored bangles, wear your large neon sunglasses, and clip on a pair of statement earrings. The ‘70s have more neutral and natural accessories, such as jewelry made of wood, shells, stones, and feathers. But if you’re going for the disco vibe, then think glitter and anything shiny that will go with your equally sparkly outfit. The ‘60s are a lot calmer with its flower headbands, gypsy scarves, and leather moccasins. Finally, for the ‘50s, use faux fur, gloves, and cat eye-shaped sunglasses.

Give your hair some life.

The common theme with ‘80s hairstyles was that they were big and used a lot of hairsprays. Allure has a list of styles that you might want to try if you’re feeling adventurous, from the simple Whale Spout ponytail to the more daring permed fe-mullet. The ‘70s hairstyles were either feathered and messy or parted in the middle. The ‘60s had the most relaxed hairstyles, with hair usually just hanging loose. In the ‘50s, it was all about looking proper. So you can either tightly curl your short hair or make a bouncy ponytail or do the curled and pinned hairstyle for long hair, as long as you put on a lot of hairspray afterward.

At the end of the day, there’s no right way to wear retro-style fashion. After all, fashion is all about self-expression, and pulling ideas from the previous decades adds your own dynamic spin to retro fashion.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed today’s read!

9 outfit inspirations you can easily copy from our girl’s trip to park city Utah Staying at Yotel Pad. Easy looks to transition into Fall, some we even styled 5 ways for you. WE enjoyed working with some amazing brands on this trip, from WHBM, Chico’s, Spanx, Print fresh, Peepers, Station Park, Evereve, and Soma.  Showing our style in what we choose, from how we decided to style the pieces.  We even decided to pick a couple of things the same ( Spanx jeans & Spanx leggings) and style them differently, giving you 5 ways to wear them. 

Interestingly, all 5 of us wear the same size, but due to our heights and body shapes, we all wear them differently. I hope you like the style inspiration and check out all the lady’s blog posts (linked at the bottom of this post) to see how we styled differently.

I’ve been sharing this Journey in hopes to help encourage you to make a skin check up appointment. 

Melanoma Cancer is deadly and very different from Skin Cancer.

Melanoma cancer is deadly,  early detection is key, before it can spread to lymph nodes, organs, &  blood. 

If your new here or just seeing this post, I have 5 other parts with all the info and my Journey to date in Feed and stores saved to highlights with more info.

Thank you for all the kind messages, comments and prayers! I appreciate you being apart of my tribe.

Thank you and NOW make your Skin Appointment! 

May is Skin cancer awareness month and it’s so important to get your skin checked!

I am happy to answer any questions in Dm

My greatest joy is being their MOM 🤍🤍🤍 My greates My greatest joy is being their MOM 🤍🤍🤍

My greatest accomplishment is the family we’ve built.🤍

Not only the children I birthed, whom I am so very proud of and thank God every day for,
 but to the home we opened up to others and the family that came from friends and children we’ve been so blessed to have apart of our lives.

Family is something you build not just something you’re given. It truly brings me so much joy to have a full home, to feed others, open our hearts and be a safe space. 

I am grateful everyday for those in our life’s and apart of our “FAMILY” it makes my mama heart happy🤍🤍🤍

Thankful to the two that made me a CoCo @hampton.v_  @kaylee.thompson24 🤍 The love & joy he brings is something nobody could have prepared me for🤍

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

🌸Happy Mother’s Day pretty ladies and my your day be full of everything you need it to be🤍🤍🤍

A few of my favorite quotes ⬇️⬇️⬇️

“Motherhood: Because privacy is over-rated”. —Russ Ediger

“Thank God for a praying mother”. —Bobbie Burrow

“Faith is the foundation of a strong, loving family and Mama is the cornerstone”. —Renee Daniels

“Moms just know… How to help. How to heal. How to listen. How to love.”
