Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 

Spring Trends are perfect for Easter at any age. 

Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope your weekend was what you needed it to be. Ours was laid back, and I did get a lot of work done, which felt great. Today’s blog post is in conjunction with the Fashion Fix Tv segment I created for Good Things Utah today. Live at 10:00 am Mnt. Time. Stream it from anywhere by clicking HERE. 

 Watch the Tv segment=  link to Watch 

I headed to my go-to shopping center, Station Park in Farmington, knowing  I could find what I wanted to create the looks for this segment. Evereve, H&M, Old Navy, and Bohmn are where I headed this time.

Station Park has all your shopping needs, with a beautiful outdoor setting and something for everyone. Let’s not forget several restaurants so you can make a great outing. 

Perfect for Easter

Whether you’re headed to Easter services, Brunch, the kid’s egg hunt, or dinner with family and friends, I’ve created some on-trend looks I think you’ll love and look great in at any age & stage in your life. You can wear these pieces all Spring and Summer to look and feel great. Watch the fun REEL I created

“Florals for spring are nothing new, here are a few Spring trends that are fresh and doesn’t evolve a large floral print.”

Trending Styles for Spring:

-The suit

-The trouser trend

-Eyelet 

-Wide-leg crop or wide leg

-Denim skirt med length and long

-Twist on a shirt dress

-The ribbed tank dress

-The Blazer

– Pj style pantsuit

Color trends:

Hot pink & Orange

Lilac

Sage green

Kelly green

Neutrals 

Cornflower Blue

Navy blue

Details:

Bows, small or large

Laser cutouts

Cutouts 

Studs

Braided 

Quilted

Tiny ruffle detail -think trim 

Pearls

-Added a slight floral touch for a fresh look without screaming “Floral for Spring.”

My Model’s looks:

Cammi-Cornflower Blue Eleni Maxi coverage dress with pretty little bow details. It is paired with a pop of floral on the Cecelia New York shoes. And finish off the look with an ivory custom coastal clutch. A perfect look for Easter services, Brunch, and would be darling for A bridal shower.

Swap out pieces for a more casual or youthful look:

This dress could be worn in many ways: pull off the shoulders for a less modest way, or add a bunch of turquoise jewelry and cowboy boots for a boho vibe. So cute for festival and concert season.

Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 

 

Kjirstin -Modeling the pantsuit trend in this season’s fresh color trend sage. The Blazer & the Pant was paired with a slightly floral detailed top in sage and pink. Finish the look with the Quilted accessories trend in the shoes and bag. The final finishing touch is Pearl accessories.

The pantsuit is a great alternative to a dress. A fresh and chic look for Spring

Swap out pieces for a more casual or youthful look:

Change up the look, A younger person could swap out the top for a cropped top, and swap out the accessories for simpler pieces. Think simple platform sandals and a belt bag.

 

Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 

Myself– Wearing the Neutral color trend with the Twist on a Shirtdress, a mocha-colored high-low button-up dress. It was paired with a cute Cream cargo cropped jacket and Studded detail neutral sandals. For a bit of Pop of color, a hot pink bag.

Mannequin 3
Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 
Mannequin 4

 Outfits on the Mannequins

 

1st  Mannequin – Med length Denim Skirt, Eyelet top, and pretty bow detail heels. If you don’t love a denim skirt, pair it with Wide leg crops. Works for every age, as shown in the segment.

2nd Mannequin – Hot Pink and Orange – solid Ribbed Tank dress in Orange pairs with a solid Hot pink blazer, Accessorized with A darker orange braid bag for texture and a little pop. Hot Pink tassel earrings and finishing the look with a fun circle detailed, neutral sandal. 

Change up for a more youthful look

  • This look could be worn at any age as well, but to look more youthful, you could add a denim jacket instead of a blazer, swap out sandals for tennis shoes or pass on a jacket and tie a denim shirt around the waist.

3rd Mannequin – A coastal look with a Navy striped ribbed sweater tank dress, Paired with a Navy blazer (Save 10% with code DARCY10) and accessorized with a Neutral Laser cutout bag and sandals. Finished off with a straw hat gives this look the perfect coastal vibe. Cutouts on bags and shoes are a great choice to wear the trend if you don’t feel comfortable wearing clothing with cutouts. 

Change up The Look

   -Here’s another look that could be worn at any age, but simply changing out a blazer for no jacket or a cargo or denim jacket and changing accessories to simple Converse tennis shoes and a belt bag, would create a more youthful look.

4th Mannequin -Pj Pant suit set, Oversized top & Pants. Easy, breezy, and Chic. Kelly Green is a hot color trend, and paired with black gives it a fun edge. Yet, still very Spring-like. Accessories help take this look from looking like pj’s to looking business chic. The black body suit keeps the eye clean and flattering. A lightweight wax-coated black jacket over the shoulders, gold bow detailed slides, and a black quilted bag with gold trim polish off the look. 

Change up the look

Here you could opt to not were the button-up and only wear the bodysuit with the pants, and forgo any jacket. This look would also be just with a denim jacket and a simple sandal or Converse or Ked-type tennis shoe. Swap out a quilted bag for a crossbody bag.

 

I hope I inspired you to try something a little new to you this Spring. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and read “Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age.” 

Have a beautiful day, pretty ladies,

Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy last week of March, can you believe how fast March flew by? I keep telling myself Spring is coming; it is! In the Spirit of Spring, I have a couple of spring photoshoots. I’m looking forward to some fun pieces I can’t wait to wear. With all the great sales lately, I’ve grabbed some fun clothing & accessories I am also excited to share with you. 

Here are two great Spring basics wardrobe pieces. You’ll never get tired of styling, and the best part is that they work in every season.

"</p

Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of

Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of
Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of
Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of

Spring Wardrobe Builders

~Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of Wearing~

~ Straight Leg/ slim boot cut Jeans 

~ Gauze Button up

The Jeans are under $69, And the top is under $36

What are wardrobe builders?

Wardrobe builders are staple/ key pieces you purchase that help you build your wardrobe. I like to make a wardrobe, starting with classic pieces that can help you create many different looks. Then, build a cabinet with 80% good fitting, good quality pieces and fill in with the trends. I wrote more about this HERE.

Ways to Wear these two pieces

The White Gauze button-up top

This gauze button-up is just like the Free people one I own♥️ you can’t tell them apart✔️Wear over a bathing suit, with shorts, or throw over a tank tee dress. 🖤 The many ways you can style this versatile piece genuinely are endless.

I own several white Gauze button-ups, one because I always need one, as I wear them on repeat. And two, I wanted to see if you could tell the difference between the Target $25, Peppered in Leopard$36, and Free People $69 versions. Unfortunately, you really couldn’t unless close up and with touching.

The comparison

The Target button-up is the thinnest but not too light, and the stitching isn’t the quality of the Free People, which is to be expected. The Peppered in Leopard button-up is a perfect dupe. The buttons are different, the stitching is good, and the weight is pretty close. I recommend purchasing it for the price if you want to save money. The Free People’s quality is the best, with excellent stitching, buttons, and gauze fabric, just the perfect weight. 

Free People added this Spliced -up Shirtdress Tunic to this year’s Spring lineup, and the fabric is the same Gauze as the button-up. Talk about a cute dress you’ll wear over and over. Cute for concerts and festivals with boots, and so cute for Summer with a cute sandal.

The Straight Leg slim bootcut Jeans

Straight Leg jeans have been a classic style since jeans wear invented. They will always be in style. It’s a classic fit that always looks good. In fashion, styles come and go, but the classic fit never goes far. The type I am wearing above says a slim-fitting flair, but it does fit like straight-leg jeans. 

Ladies…Get your butt into this pair. You won’t be sorry! Judy Blue High Waist Control Top raw hem slim bootcut jeans are slim fitting through the waist, hip, and butt with a slim-fitting flared leg. Made of stretchy denim, it will fit you just right without stretching out too much. The control top helps keep your waist slim, and the wash is GORGEOUS, making these a must-have!

The Jeans Fit

  • Rise 10 3/4″, Inseam: 32″
  • Recommend sizing down one size for that fitted look.
 

Two Basic Wardrobe pieces giving Coastal Grandmother vibes

*Coastal grandmother is a VIBE, not a grandmother thing☺️Want to learn more? Want to learn more? Here’s a fun Coastal Grandmother blog post I did last year that people enjoyed reading. Here’s a REEL you might enjoy, with 1.6 million views.

Giving me all the #coastalgrandma vibes… Think of all the ways you can style these two great basics✔️

 

A few other classic Jeans and White button-ups you might like:

BB Dakota by Steve Madden -Gauze button up a complete match for the Free People Button up

Tyra Cotton Oversized Button-Down Shirt-Get down to the business of statement style in this cotton button-down that makes a fashionable problem of rolling up your sleeves.

Stevie Straight Leg -These jeans are crafted in soft, stretchy denim, making them accessible and comfortable to wear all day. This simple but essential pair can complete any look they are paired with.

Christine High Rise Straight Leg– from cotton with a little bit of stretch, these high-waisted jeans with a straight leg will soon be your comfy favorites.

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Guess what? Did you guess it was snowing again in Utah? You’d be right! I am so over it and really can’t wait for Spring. Today I am headed to lunch to meet some fun blogger friends I met online but haven’t met in person. One of the best things about social media is the friends you meet. Then, this evening, I have a live with the Chit Chat Chic Ladies and a family dinner. So, a very busy day. 

Tonight we are chatting about all things Hair and that inspired today’s blog post, and the funny thing is I had a hair tutorial reel already created to post. Talk about perfect timing.

Secondly, I am loving the, I am Stripes hair mask– the Crown Pleaser,  which you leave in about 5 min for improved shine, and a trio of plant extracts that revitalize and soften thinning hair.

2 Items I am Using Menopause Hair Loss

As I am aging and in menopause, I am losing hair, a common side effect that isn’t been discussed much until recently. Here are 2 products I have been using for over a year now and am seeing results with hair growing back in and stronger hair.

How I Get Bounce in my Midlife Straight Hair

 3 Hair Care Products I Use For Styling & How I Get Bounce and Body

– Hair Oil (to keep my hair shiny, and protected) a small drop in the palm of my hands use wet or dry

– Dry shampoo to add texture and volume, I use it at the root and ends I love Dry Bar and it smells fantastic, and I have been using Hair story powder, which is a loose powder and can be sprinkled on or I put in my hands and finger it in. You don’t go though the powder as fast. Both do the same job so it really is on preference. 

– Hair Spray on ends and at the root, then after each curl. Kendra Hair Spray is a game changer when it comes to hair spray. My favorite by far. Let me tell you I have tried them all, well almost!

My Hair Oil Story

Hair Oil

A Daily Treatment: This styling oil for hair helps smooth out frizz, add shine, and hide the signs of damage while softening texture. A blend of 8 essential oils does wonders for parched or frizzy areas when worked through hair – damp or dry. 

I’ve always had oily hair and as I have aged and with menopause kicking in, It’s been dry everywhere, but still oily at the roots. I didn’t add oil to my hair, thinking it would worsen.

I have learned hair takes the oil it needs, when you apply just a couple of drops to the palms of your hands, rub them together and apply them to the hair. Only use it in the middle and ends of my hair, avoiding my roots. This has helped with the brittleness and added shine back into my hair.

 

How I Get Bounce in my Midlife Straight Hair

 4 hair care tools you can’t live without – T3-micro  curling iron, makes all the difference for my hair type, as this is the only curling iron that, gives me a curl my hair holds. For drying hair, I use the T3 micro styling blow wand.

The Wet Brush Original Detangler helps your hair stay strong and healthy! Gently loosens knots, on wet or dry hair, without pulling or snagging. The moment you use it, you’ll feel the difference.

GRO Revitalizing Scalp Massager features a series of bristles that stimulate the scalp and boost scalp health, providing both an exhilarating scalp massage and a relaxing experience. Ideal for all hair types, this hand-held massager can be used on a dry scalp. I use mine in the shower when shampooing and conditioning hair. 

I have hairstyling tutorials available

  If you are visual, I have created several Reels on my Instagram. Here’s the one from today. I’ve also done tutorials and saved them to  Highlights. You might want to go check them out, as I think you’ll find them helpful.  More about this in this blog post Must hair Hair care items

 

A fun little speed round of hair Q&A

How often do you wash your hair?

I wash my hair twice a week or If I have an event or photoshoot maybe 3. 

 

Is your hair generally oily, dry, normal, or combo?

My Hair is oily, but as I age, it is getting dryer and dryer. 

 

Middle or side part?

Changing up my hair do’s is something I like to do, so I do my part, for how I am feeling that day. I also like to wear braids, top knots, side do’s, twists, etc. 

Do you do your hair down or up?

This question is answered above, as I like to wear my hair differently daily.

8 Dime Beauty Products I Am Currently Using

8 Dime Beauty Products I Am Currently Using

"</p

Hello Pretty ladies,

Happy First day of Spring. I look forward to warmer days, green hills, cheery blossoms, and spring flowers, which will be a little longer here in Utah as we look at another week of snow in the forecast.

Changing up my skincare for the start of a new season has always done wonders for my skin. I have found it essential to change your skincare throughout the year. Do you do that? I also love changing my fragrance, and I’ve found two from Dime, that I love. One is Fresh, Light, and clean. The other is feminine, bold, and intoxicating. This season, I am trying out Dime Beauty and Fragrances. 

Two New body products from Dime I love are The Glaze and The Boosting Body Serum. Perfect products to get your skin ready for the skin-showing season. Dresses, tank tops, and shorts. Check out more details below, as I know you will also fall in love with several of these products. Shop Dime Beauty HERE  Save 20% with code DARCY20

 

The Glaze

I started the new year using Dime Beauty’s  -The Glaze: Hvdrating Bodv Oil. Infused with highly nutritious oils, The Glaze is the body’s best friend for effectively hydrating the many thick layers of skin. In addition, these oils are enriched with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and rejuvenating properties.

They are essential to properly nourish the skin’s barrier lipids to retain moisture and prevent trans-epidermal water loss, which can cause dry patches, irritation, redness, and other skin concerns.

I am dying to know what’s next in DIME’s new body care line. 

"</p

Boosting Body Serum

Meet Boosting Body Serum!

BODY SERUM Penetrates the ton layers of the skin LOCKS In moisture Protects against UV rays

  • Ceramides strengthen skin barrier function and fight premature signs of aging.
  • Probiotics support and balance the skin’s microbiome
  • Beneficial nutrients delivered to the deep layers of the skin

CERAMIDES 

It helps restore moisture reinforce the skin’s natural barrier, and protect against harm from foreign elements. NIACINAMIDE Helps our skin improve the production of ceramide barrier, which helps retain LACTOCOCCUS FERMENT LYSATE 

This probiotic assists the skin’s microbiome in staying hydrated, balanced, and in a healthy state. Want to be the first to try this hydrating body serum?

"</p

Oils vs. Serums:

What’s the Difference?

Ever wonder what’s the difference between oils and serums and why you need both? The short answer is oil moisturizes the skin, and serums have a specific job and treat a variety of skin concerns.

 

"</p

Dime Products I am using:

Summers Perfume-Experience endless summer with our 7 Summers® Perfume! The perfect clean fragrance will rid you of your winter blues and turn heads as you walk by! This perfume is made from only pure ingredients and contains Organic Sugar Cane Alcohol in place of the commonly used SD 40

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

Hello Pretty Ladies,

How did the start of daylight savings go for you? We’re up early. Today was no different, and it was snowing yet again. With that said, we decided to stay home and chill. By chill, I mean I stayed in pj’s, did a facial, read scriptures, and had a slow morning.

I did get the laundry done, Ben shoveled snow, and we made a big Asian dinner. I worked on social media, my Liketoknowit, and my blog. So, we had a productive day, even though it was quiet at home.

It was nice not having to get ready and having a relatively relaxing day. I leave for St George on Wednesday to meet my mom for Vintage Market days, Zion, and a little girl time. It’s been a couple of months since I’ve seen her, and I look forward to spending time with her. 

Spring is coming

With the first day of Spring coming in a couple of days, and Spring break coming up fast, I thought I would share some great basics from Chico’s. Easy to pack, wear traveling, and mix and match all Spring and Summer.

 

Chico’s Wardrobe Builders

They take you from Saturday style to Vacation mode with Chico’s  New Spring line. Their classic button-up in linen is perfect; you’ll wear it on repeat in white. Great over a bathing suit, paired with jeans, shorts, or worn over a tee shirt dress. It also comes in a stripe and several other colors. Girlfriend cropped jeans are a flattering jean style, similar to the boyfriend jeans with being as baggy. 

A  big Spring trend is the color combo Navy and kelly green. You’ll see these colors paired together in print and solids and mixing it up. See how I styled this trend in a couple of ways below. First, I paired some great essential pieces with trendy pieces to create a look you can wear at any age. 

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

White Button up | Girlfriend Jeans| Tennis shoes| Bag

Classic Wardrobe outfit 

Every day or Saturday style is built with classic wardrobe builders with the New girlfriend cropped denim. It fits slimmer than a boyfriend s jeans yet is not a straight cut. Very flattering on every figure and has a cute little cuff.  It was perfectly paired with Chico’s white shirt button-up and darling leather tennis shoes. Finish the look with a chain-detailed crossbody bag for a little updated edge.

Shop The Look:

Stripped Top| Joggers| Linen Slides

Easy Travel Outfit

Trending colors this Spring Kelly green and blue make a great color combo. I paired this color combo for a vacation look and a resort wear outfit. I hope you love the results. Kelly green jeggings and a navy and white striped linen button-up make for a comfortable travel look.

Shop The Look:

Denim Jacket| Bathing Suit| Pants| Hat| Sunglasses| Bag

Resort wear or Poolside Outfit

Are you headed on a warm-weather vacation? These printed Ikat cropped pants pulled over a swimsuit (used as a body suit here) gave a seamless look, and paired with this two-toned denim jacket, the straw bag makes it easy to take from the pool to lunch.

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

 

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope your week is going well. Happy March! We celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary over the weekend and have been trying to get into the swing of a new week. It’s been a harsh winter in Utah this year, and with Valentine’s over, I added some simple Spring touches to our home this week and shared over on the gram. You all loved it so much that I thought I would recap nine simple and affordable little touches you could add to your home for a spring feel.

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh from my home tour🌿

Affordable and simple items to refresh little areas of your home! 9 things you can add to give your home a little refresh for Spring and add to the sense of sight & smell.

Shop the photo:

 

 

Adding Spring to the Kitchen area

If you’re like me, we’re primarily in our kitchens, and I like to start adding in the season here. You can make simple and affordable little changes that have a significant impact. I want to create tiny little vignettes for the seasons. For example, I start at my sink area and purchase new countertop cleaner, dish soap, and hand soap in a fresh scent of the season, add a new scrubber and a little silk pot of flowers, and a scented candle.  

The cleaners and soaps are $3.99-$2.99, adding such a spring impact for so little money. The stand you can use every season for under $20, and a new little wooden scrubber is $6; I think it’s a cute little detail. A little silk flower pot is $6-9.00, and you can find spring candles for $10. This Fresh linen and Sea salt candle smells so good. Fresh and clean for Spring.

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

Sink area- stand|Dish & Hand soap| Counter cleaner| Scrubber|Candle|Dish Towels

 

Spring Touches with color in mind

Add these cute striped ruffle dish towels, a Jute rug, Spring 40 oz Candle & candles, little birds, and silk flowers. To your space, please give it a fresh look and light up your room for Spring. Think lighter colors and colors of Spring that will work in your area. I choose yellow, green, white, and the natural color of jute. 

 

Fresh flowers bring the outdoors in

I love fresh flowers too. Something about fresh flowers that make your home feel like you’re bringing the outdoors in: if you have been following me for a while, you know a bouquet of fresh flowers is something I treat myself to every week. I love trader joe’s, Costco flowers, and our local flower shops.

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

Changing out your Rugs

Changing out your rugs can make a significant impact on your space. Removing heavier fabrics and replacing them with lighter, airier ones, like jute, give your room a softer feel. Rugs can range in price, and you can find reasonable ones at places like Target and home goods. But I love Boutique rugs, and they are always having a sale. This darling jute circle rug comes in several sizes. I chose the smaller size as I knew it would fit perfectly in front of my sink and fridge. The circle is a fun change instead of the usual rectangle shape. (I got the large round for my entryway. )

 

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

 

Spring Center Piece for your Kitchen Island

Spring centerpieces can be easy to create, from a bowl with fresh lemons and limes to a simple flower centerpiece. You can get creative and use a dough bowl to add a bird’s nest and birds or bunnies. Of course, spring candles and fresh flowers are always a favorite. I will share several more ways in feature posts and stories on the gram, so tune in over there.

 

An excellent coffee table decor book

The Cozy White Cottage Seasons coffee table decor book is one of my favorite home inspiration books, and this one has 100 ways to be cozy all year.

A few style TIPs and the BIGGEST style mistake….

Just putting on the dress and not accessorizing …. Take NOTE of every look… Shoes, Bag, Jewlery and finishing accessories ✔️✔️✔️

Accessorizing can make or break your look… Styling doesn’t have to be hard or over the top… but it is something you don’t want to skip…

Changing your bag takes 3 minutes, picking a shoe can be an issue for some. Tip: pick a neutral sandal or heel, 1 good neutral sandal & Bag can work for all these looks. (I’ve linked several over on my blog and in stories) 

- A great gold or silver stack of bracelets, a favorite necklace and earrings will work if you are a minimalist..

If you’re a Maximalists like me😉 you’ll have a collection for every season, every “vibe” and several choices to change the looks….

You can be classic and chic, simple and elegant, boho and layered…. Just DON’T skip accessorizing😉

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🤍🤍
