3 Tips for an Affordable Thanksgiving Tablesetting

3 Tips for an Affordable Thanksgiving Tablesetting

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Can you believe we’re already at Thanksgiving week and the end of November? Blink, and it will be Christmas morning. I am finishing the rest of my Christmas decorating for clients, which should be done by Tuesday. I’ll get our home done by Wednesday, as well, to have all our Christmas gifts wrapped. I am almost done Christmas shopping, but I would like to wait for the sales this week to grab a few items for the boys and my hubby. I am finished with everyone else on my list. How about you?

That brings me to talk about this crazy sale week real quick. As you know, this is my job, and I like to be as helpful and informative as possible to help you shop for the best deals and get the best pricing. To do this, I am updating my best of Cyber Week sales blog post daily and adding items to my Liketoknowit, Amazon, and Walmart storefronts. I’ll also be sending out another Newsletter on Friday morning.

I will also be sharing up-to-date info on my Instagram stories, and I started a broadcast channel there called Chit Chat to announce sales, discount codes, and links. If you like this, it’s FREE to join. I want to keep you updated on what I think are the best deals and even what’s in my cart. I will also pick up items for our home and myself. 

Thank you. I genuinely appreciate your support, including being here, commenting, liking my post, shopping my links, and using my codes.

I am genuinely so grateful & Thankful for your support and being here.

3 Tips for an Affordable Thanksgiving Tablesetting:

I’ve been hosting Thanksgiving dinner at our home for as long as I can remember—even before Ben and I were married. That’s been over 30 years, giving me several years of experience collecting entertaining pieces. Over the years, I have learned several tips and tricks to help create beautiful tablescapes and a few ways to save money. 

Tip number one: Paper Goods 

 Will entertaining a crowd be more significant than your regular place setting allows? Nowadays, paper plates, napkins, stemware, and disposable silverware are so beautiful; some can even be used repeatedly, as you can hand wash them. I’ve found some affordable plastic options that look even real, which can decrease the cost of purchasing more of your place settings. 

Tip number two: Use things you have on hand

You can create a beautiful table centerpiece with items you have on hand. Look through your everyday items or holiday decorations and use items that would work well for that season or your place settings. Another great way to save money is to use nature. Go outside and see what you could use indoors: pinecones, leaves, cut branches or greenery, seasonal flowers, or wildflowers. 

Tip Number Three: Purchase entertainment pieces for multiple holidays and events.

When I say Purchase entertainment pieces that you will be able to use for multiple holidays and events, I mean think about how you’ll use those pieces and whether they are something that you will want to use on repeats, like serving platters, bowls, punch bowls, wine glasses, gravy boats, or ice buckets. 

I like to collect entertaining pieces in white and crystal, as they mix well and go with every holiday. As your collection grows, you can add specialty pieces for special Holidays. This saves a lot of money when you go to entertain, as you’ll have things already working.

The same goes for lines, Tablecloths, cloth napkins, napkin rings, placemats, and table runners. Purchase white, and then you can always add in as you go. 

Here are a few great options for Linens etc: Shop the Post below:

Friday Favorites and Sale Recap

Hello, pretty ladies, 

I hope your week was a good one! It seemed to fly by for me, and I can’t seem to catch up and get everything done on my to-do list! Have you had weeks or months like this? With the Holidays fast approaching, it snowballs. November is my busiest month, with my Holiday Home decorating business, Styling clients, and blogging business—not to mention all the personal list to-dos! I’ve learned some tricks that help keep me organized.

Tips and Tricks to Staying Organized

I have learned to take a day at a time, and lists help me. It’s essential to have a weekly to-do list and break it down into daily parts… I highlight what I don’t finish that day and make it my first thing for the next day. 

If you’re like me, you might have great expectations of what you can accomplish in a day, which can set your week up for failure. Instead, Make a priority list, a List of Things I would love to do, and an “If I have time” List. Break the priority list into items for each day. I have used this daily “Paper” calendar by Day Designer for several years. 

Then, when you accomplish that day’s priorities, pick something from the other list. This will allow you to achieve your daily priorities and feel good about the day versus causing stress. Let me know if you try this little life helper or if you have a tip to help you accomplish your weekly goals. What do you do to keep yourself from stressing out over it?

Three Cute Tops To Wear With Jeans

Three Cute Tops To Wear With Jeans

Hello, Pretty ladies,

Today is a short and sweet styling blog post! I know you’re going to love these tops like I do. Remember that saying when your girlfriend asked, “What are you wearing?” and we would say, “A cute top and jeans?” I’ve got three cute tops to wear with jeans from Chico’s.Three Cute Tops To Wear With Jeans

 

Let’s Get to the Details.

I am wearing the same jeans for all of the outfits below. The girlfriend’s slim, straight leg is by Chicos in a dark wash. This is a great fundamental Jean that fits the actual size {For reference, I am a size four and get a Chico’s size 0.} and looks excellent from casual to dressed up. If denim is allowed, it is a beautiful option for workwear.

The Three Tops

I chose three tops that you could quickly wear for workwear, styled with a blazer or cardigan, but today, I have styled them to meet a girlfriend for coffee, lunch, shopping, or cocktails. 

Three Cute Tops To Wear With Jeans

Classic Satin Top

#1. Classic Satin button-up top paired with leopard accessories and Julie Vos jewelry and layered with a third-piece cardigan over the shoulders.

This look has a classic feel, with its pretty cream pallet, but adding a pop of leopard makes it fun and adds texture and interest. Remember, accessories can make or break an outfit; simply not adding them is wearing a look, not styling a look! Add your personality and have fun with your accessories. 

Shop the Look Below:

Three Cute Tops To Wear With Jeans

Leopard Bow Top

#2. Leopard button-up top with a Bow tie—leave hanging or make a bow; this top is so fun yet has a very 80s workwear vibe, but the leopard makes it current. Zimmerman had a similar one in their Fall collection, which was stunning. Chicos’ version is slightly toned down at a fraction of the cost. I love it!

Red accessories make this look pop. I love pairing red or fuchsia pink with leopard for that fun element.

Shop the Look Below:

I’ve got three cute tops you can wear with jeans

Black Flocked Top

#3. This black flocked rose print sheer button-up top is great for date nights or cocktails with a girlfriend. Wear it with a black bra, or add a black cami underneath for more coverage. This shirt’s hemline and button detail resemble a cropped jacket, making it slightly different from your average button-up top. 

This allows you to wear it open and layer a pretty camisole underneath tucked in, as well as a great belt, for another styling option.

The flocked rose detail is beautiful and makes this top easy to dress up. Pair it with trousers for a dressier look. Black suede booties and gold accessories

Please let me know if you have any questions, as I am always happy to help.

Three little black dresses: by Jude Connally

Hello Pretty Lady, 

“Your talent determines what you can do. Your motivation determines how much you’re willing to do. Attitude determines how well you do it.” —

“Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day!”

I am lucky to be doing what I love, and I have you, pretty ladies, to thank for that! Thank you for being here and supporting my small business. Whether with a like♥️ on social media, a comment, a DM, shopping a link, watching my stories, or reading a blog post, each helps me do what I love and share with you. I appreciate you.

Living stylishly and looking good at any age is a passion of mine. I love helping you to do the same! With the Holidays approaching, I thought I’d get a jump start and start sharing Holiday looks with you. Just in case you needed a little Holiday outfit inspiration for the upcoming party season,

Today, I am sharing Jude Connally, a newer brand to me. Let me tell you, I am in love with the quality, fit, and darling styles. I even have a 15% off code to share with you. Use JDARCY to save 15% off your purchase.

“At Jude Connally, they believe in making women feel good and look great. Their clothes are designed to fit and flatter every body type, with vibrant colors and prints that express your personality. Jude Connally is more than a clothing brand; it’s a lifestyle.”

Three little black dresses: by Jude Connally

Here are my picks for the perfect three little black dresses for you to look fabulous this party season.

Party season, the Holidays, cocktail parties, winter weddings, the theater, or even a cruise. These three little black dresses will have you looking and feeling great.

Ella Dress

#1. Ella dress stretch velvet with rhinestone details – I am in a small, head over heels for this short-sleeved- tee- shirt-inspired dress! With an easy fit, the Ella dress in velvet will be your new go-to this season. Featuring chic studded detailing on the front. Whether dressed up or down, it flawlessly combines timeless charm with modern chic.

Paired with a classic black pump, mine are Sam Edelmann, a simple and affordable clutch by Quilted Koala. You could do black for a classic and simple look or choose metallic silver for a fun, festive pop. Save 20% with code DARCY20. The jewelry is kept simple, as the rhinestones on the dress are enough sparkle—one simple rhinestone bracelet and a great simple rhinestone drop earring or even a large stud. Mine are vintage drop earrings. 

Hair Tip: When you’re styling an outfit versus just wearing it, you consider what hairstyle works with the dress and flatters you and your outfit. Here, the updo works and allows the dress to shine. Sometimes, when a dress is busy, wearing hair down adds to the busyness

Franca Dress

#2. Franca Dress– Jude Ponte with feather-trimmed sleeves fits tts in and makes a statement this season with our stunning new shift dress, Franca! Featuring 3/4 sleeves with eye-catching feathered cuffs and a classic crew neckline, this chic dress combines timeless elegance with a playful twist. A must-have for your wardrobe!

Finishing this look off with a pop of color, fushia tweed shoes by Madison Masion and a velvet tulip bag by Cecelia New York

Hairstyle tip: With the simple neckline of this dress, you really can wear your hair in several ways: down and full, straight and sleek, half up, or even in a low side knot or pony. It does depend if you add an earring you want to show off as well; with this dress, you could wear a statement earring and pull your hair away from your face. (I will be doing just that as soon as I find the fushia statement earring I WANT)

Maureen Dress

#3. Maureen Dress—Jude Ponte has a Halter neck and Bow detail

Step into the spotlight with our new super chic dress, Maureen! Featuring an elegant high neckline with an adjustable bow tie for added sophistication. This stunning style is a must-have for all your holiday parties, offering a perfect blend of modern elegance and festive charm! It fits true to size, and I am the size small.

I finished off the look with a pair of rock-studded Valentino pumps, which make a small statement but don’t overpower the bow detail of the dress. I took the gold stud from the shoes as inspiration for the jewelry and wore black and gold bold jewelry from Julie Vos. This perfectly finishes off the outfit.

Tip: Another important detail when styling a halter-style dress is to let the halter, and in this case, the bow detail, be the star. Wear your hair back off your shoulders, either in a chic ponytail, bun, or top knot.

12 Thanksgiving Outfit Inspirations

12 Thanksgiving Outfit Inspirations

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I can’t believe we are in October’s last couple of days, and Halloween is tomorrow! How did that happen? This also means that Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, which inspired today’s blog post. 12 Thanksgiving outfit inspirations to inspire you, whether you are cooking all day and like to be cozy and comfortable, entertaining a small gathering and casual but a little elevated, or your family tradition is to get dressed up. Maybe you are somewhere in between. I have created some cute outfits that will fit all of the above. 

Suzanne, Dawn, Cindy, and Stephanie, who is new to our new group, are joining me today on our monthly blog hop. Each lady will feature something related to Thanksgiving, such as a recipe, table setting, or outfit inspiration. You’ll want to ensure you head to their blogs and see what they share. I am excited to see what they share, as I know it will be fabulous, as always. I’ve linked their blogs at the end of this post. I know they would love for you also to leave a comment to show you stopped by.

Thanksgiving outfits, I am sure, will inspire you

12 Thanksgiving Outfit Inspirations from Cozy, elevated casual to dressed up. No matter how you like to spend your Thanksgiving day, I have an outfit inspiration I think you’ll love.

I posted a poll on Instagram asking what style you wore on Thanksgiving, and it was a tie for Cozy outfits and elevated casual for the most requested outfit inspirations. This didn’t surprise me, as we have become such a casual society. I know so many cook all day, have football games or head outside to play a family ball game. 

I cook all day for our family, including family and friends. Please give me a good reason to get dressed up. Having a pretty table and using my china make me feel I need to dress the part. That said, I tend to dress up a little, even if it’s just a sweater and trousers or a silk blouse and trousers, which can still be comfortable. Last year, I did wear a dress. I had so many pretty clothes for the season, and it was a shame not to wear them.

Blog hop graphic with midlife lady bloggers

Cozy Outfit inspirations

Below, you’ll find four great options for being cozy and comfortable while still looking put-together and chic. These looks are affordable and can be mixed with other items in your closet to mix and match all season long. A couple of these looks are also great for Holiday travel, as that always seems to be something people need inspo for. 

I can even picture a few of these outfit looks outside playing flag football with the family!

I was styling this viral Amazon comfy, cozy, soft, oversized hoodie and baggie jogger set. Perfect for FALL, it comes in sizes Xsm to 2xl. Easy to Elevate this set with a few easy tips to look chic and comfy. Great for travel as well. I styled it on Instagram with a Coat View here.

Fall outfit inspo

Here is one of my favorite elevated casual outfits featuring pieces you can use for work wear! I find myself grabbing these pieces weekly.

My favorite go-to jeans of the season are Risen jeans. They fit and feel like premium denim at a fraction of the cost. They are under $70 and fit true to size. I am in a 27 for reference.

The mixed plaid blazer in shades of fall has been a favorite go-to for a couple of seasons now. Unfortunately, it’s unavailable, but I linked this year’s version with the same vibe, fit, and colors. It fits true to size. I got a medium so I could layer sweaters under it. 

Cable sweater Turtleneck sweater by Banana Republic factory. It’s so soft, fits true to size, and is the perfect shade of camel that works with so many fall outfits. Mine is a couple of seasons old; I linked you a great option with the same vibe here.

Leopard accessories are a great way to add interest and a pop of pattern to an outfit to make it interesting. My go to Belt and these large buckle leopard kitten heals are so good, I can’t stop wearing.

Chloe tote in perfect shades of black, tan, and cream.

#9 Leopard Skirt outfit

It is a great way to wear a leopard skirt dressed up for the Holidays. I wore this look to church last week, as I love dressing up for church; it allows me to be creative and use pieces in my wardrobe that I love to wear yet don’t have a lot of places to wear. This Amazon finds leopard skirt fits true to size, Paired with a Black Pumiey bodysuit that also fits true to size; I love how a bodysuit is fitted and doesn’t add bulk, especially with a flowy skirt with an elastic band. Another styling must be done when wearing a bottom with an elastic band, and you must make sure you add a belt. Here, I added a wide chocolate brown belt with studs to cover the band, flatter the waist, and add interest. 

A Chocolate faux leather jacket, which fits true to size, is a great “third” piece for any wardrobe. A third piece is that layering piece that adds interest and layers to an outfit, taking it from drab to fab. It’s a great tip to finish off any outfit. Here is the same Moto jacket in chocolate suede by Chicos.

Accessories

Great styling, but it comes down to adding interest with accessories. I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat it: accessories finish the outfit and add interest to your style. I purchased these vintage suede Mary Jane heels with stud details over 25 years ago. I fell in love with them, and I adore them now. Mary Janes is having a big moment this year, which is one reason I tell my clients to save certain items, especially if they love them. Some older or Vintage pieces in your wardrobe keep your style from looking like everyone else. It adds character to your outfit, especially if you can bring pieces out that might be on trend again; yours will be that unique piece that stands out just a little bit more. Here is a similar pair of Mary Jane heels.

Speaking of vintage, I pulled out another piece from my archive, this great multi-chain statement bib necklace I purchased 15 or 17 years ago from Bauble Bar. It’s technically not vintage yet (something needs to be 20 years old to be labeled vintage.) This outfit would have looked great with this Julie Vos chunky chain necklace. I also love this multichain statement necklace, which made a big statement and made the outfit fabulous. Need a multichain statement necklace? I found this one HERE to finish off your look.

Julie Vos’s earrings and a ring complete the look. Shop the earrings, bracelets, and rings.

Fall Trends To Refresh Your Wardrobe

Fall Trends To Refresh Your Wardrobe

Good morning, Pretty Ladies,

Need a little wardrobe refresh for fall?

If you want to refresh your fall wardrobe, I’ve got some top picks that will keep you looking stylish all season long without breaking the bank! Something about the change of season makes you want to add a few new pieces to your wardrobe. 

Today, I am sharing a few essential items you could add to your Fall wardrobe that work now for a tremendous summer-to-fall transition and that you’ll be able to style all through the Fall season. I always say, “A great and affordable way to stay current” is adding on-trend accessories to your wardrobe each season. 

Accessories finish off the outfit while also changing its look. Have you ever noticed how you can change a basic outfit just by styling it with your accessories?

My girlfriends Cindy, Suzane, and Dawn are joining me today to share FALL for our monthly blog hop. I’ve linked them below, and you want to see what they’re sharing today, as I know it will be amazing.

Adding a few essential accessories to your wardrobe

On-trend Fall Accessories 

Fall Trends To Refresh Your Wardrobe


Belts

Belts have been an accessory trend, from designer to Amazon finds, for the last few years. This fall, you’ll see even more, from thin to wide. Belts add interest, flatter your figure, draw attention to your waist, and add texture to your outfit.

Belts are for every style, whether you’re a quiet Luxury classic dresser, a girl who wears mostly work wear, jeans, a tee shirt, a dresser, or that country gal. Several cute belts are on trend this season in every shape, thickness, and style. 

Here are a couple I love and a couple I’ve styled.

Shop Belts Below:

Fall Trends To Refresh Your Wardrobe

Chunky earring 

The 80s-style chunky gold workwear earrings started making a comeback last year, and they’re making an even bigger statement this year. 

I picked up this designer-inspired pair at the end of 22 and have been wearing them weekly ever since. I love the classic feel, yet they’re just the perfect size to wear casually with jeans and a tee, great for work wear, and great with dresses. These aren’t heavy, and the quality is fantastic for $12-14, compared to the $890-1400 designer look-alikes. 

Here are a few more affordable, on-trend, chunky earrings to refresh your wardrobe.

3 Trendy Dresses from Target Perfect for Fall Transition

Bangle Bracelets

I’ve always been a bangle bracelet girl. I love a good arm party or arm candy stack, and bangles are a great way to add texture, color, and interest to any look for any season. 

However, we are seeing them coming in strong for Fall. A great stack I’ve owned for years is my BudhaGirl all-weather bangles. I’ve enjoyed these waterproof bangles because they’re light and can be worn underwater. They also take all the guesswork out of creating a stack. You can purchase the 3/5/7/9 stack bundles. 

I am a “more” kind of gal, and I adore you. Mix these bangles with your other favorite arm party bangles and bracelets. 

Here’s the Budha girl bangles I own:

I’ve created a few bracelet stacks that would be perfect for the summer-fall transition and would significantly refresh your wardrobe.

Shop the Leopard Dress and Bangles HERE

Fall Necklace trend

Pendant necklaces are making a comeback. I love a suitable statement pendant. They add a longer line to your outfit, giving the illusion of length, so if you need a little height or a slimming effect, a pendant necklace does that. 

I love necklace stacks, and it’s okay if you do, too. There are still a variety of ways to style them.

Pearls and Chunky bold gold pieces are also on trend and a great way to refresh your wardrobe.

Ladylike shoes bring a touch of unexpected fancy-femme to fall’s hot denim silhouettes.

Cap-toe shoes, ballet flats, Mary Janes, pointed-toe shoes, classic loafers, and feminine details like a kitten heel with embellishments and buckle detail are some of the shoes we will see this fall. Shoes are a great way to update your look and can be affordable. Red is hot for shoes, and leopard print is some of the shoes we will see this fall.

Fall color trends

Adding Trending colors

Color trends are easy to incorporate and a great way to update your wardrobe.  

Shades of green, with olive green coming in on top. There is a lot of brown. Red is still popular, but plum/Wine and Terracotta/ Pumpkin are coming in strong.

As I’ve shared before, Something about the change of season makes you want to add a few new pieces to your wardrobe. Adding color trends is an easy way you can incorporate a trend without being too “trendy” if you like me and have more of a chic, classic style and like to add a pop of whimsy or something that makes a statement. Color is a great way to incorporate something new. Whether it’s the latest accessories, shoes, a bag, or a new arrival of clothing, a trending Color can easily update some of your classic pieces. 

Olive Green:

Olive green evokes space, wisdom, and compassion for humanity. It is also associated with harmony, diplomacy, and self-love.… Olive green represents the traditional color of peace.

This is a great color that pairs well with all the shades of fall; it looks preppy with navy and Chic & casual with denim.

Shades of Red:

Red is a powerful color and super fun to incorporate into your wardrobe. Everyone has a shade of red that works with their skin tone, blue or orange tones. Find the one that works for you. 

I am a blue-tone red girl. Last year, I started adding red pops with my accessories: a great bag, fun bow flats, a pair of red tennis shoes, a red belt, and even a red cashmere sweater and blazer. And I must say they were some of my favorite pieces, which I’ve worn repeatedly. 

They added that pop, yet worked with my classic workwear, dressed up a button-up and jeans to accessorize my summer style. 

Fall Trends To Refresh Your Wardrobe

Shop this Fall transition look HERE.

Terracotta, or I Like to call it, Pumpkin.

Pumpkin is a color I love in the fall, and it pairs very well with Leopard and denim. It’s a fun color for the season but can be tricky for some skin tones to wear. Incorporating this color into your wardrobe is a great way; if it does not look great, try it with accessories or a fun pair of pants or jeans. This color is great with cream, brown, and olive green shades.

Leopard is an all-time favorite and, in my eyes, a classic pattern that is also neutral. Whether you want to add a pop to your accessories or wear it from head to toe, leopard is a must this year.

Staple colors:

The staple colors, like shades of green, camel, beige, etc., are always favorites during fall. You know I am a big fan of ivory/cream and could wear it daily. In the fall, it pairs well with everything.

Denim:

Denim is always going to be a fall staple. Last year, we saw denim on Denim looks in a strong way, and that will continue this year, as will more denim dresses, all styles of denim jeans and pants, and a variety of denim jackets in all shapes and styles. 

3 Trendy Dresses from Target Perfect for Fall Transition

Denim dresses in every style and lengths are a must this season

This little spit fire is 23🤍 I can’t believe how f This little spit fire is 23🤍
I can’t believe how fast time has flown by 🤍

It’s been so fun watching him grow from a  little pistol into this young man🤍and amazing New daddy. 

His determination, and strong will, made him a great athlete, while his tender heart  and sensitivity & caring has made him kind to others. He’s loyal, has a strong work ethic and a joy for adventure. 

He’s our boy that would want to save every kitten and brought us home our beloved Binx and Little Miss…

The pickiest eater ever, until about the age of 12, and  He wouldn’t try a burger until age 13! (Thank goodness that’s all changed) 😉

So many memories , yet doesn’t seem like it could already be 23 years! 
Proud of the man and watching him become a daddy has been one of our biggest joys🤍🤍

Happy 23rd 🎂🎉Hampton Steel we couldn’t love you more🤍🤍🤍
