March 2019 Amazon Try On

I received such a positive response from the last Amazon try on that I decided this would become a regular occurrence!  I am having so much fun finding pieces for every occasion and love that all of these pieces can be dressed up, and down.

Hiking the Hill

Jacket | Tank | Jeggings | Booties

I celebrated my 36th birthday yesterday…36 isn’t so bad, really.  I’m still “under the hill” as I say jokingly…so I’m currently hiking it!  I have found that over the years I have become more aware of who I am as a mother, a wife, and a person – I can honestly say I truly do love the person I am today.  I have a wonderful family, a great job, and this awesome little space on the internet where I get to share things I am passionate about with the world.  I received a TON of birthday wishes yesterday and I want to personally say that the love is overwhelming, and truly heartwarming – for that, I thank you!

On another note…my entire outfit in this post is on SALE.  My favorite 4-letter word!  Below are the ways you can snag each of these items for way under the asking price!

Jacket – use the code BIG to get an additional 20% off of a sale price that’s already 50% off!  This sale ends on 2/24/19 so run fast!

Tank – use the code MORE to get 30% off (the entire site in this case).

Jeggings – all jeans are BOGO 50% off site wide so now is the time to jump on your favorite styles.  The jeggings are my current favorite because they flatter all figures!

Booties – currently 20% off making them less than $100 and are well worth the investment.  I LOVE these booties so much!

Treat yo’ self!

Put A Bow On It

Shirt | Jeans | Shoes | Sunglasses | Watch | Watch Band

 

I have always been a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl; I feel my best in casual clothing.  We may be currently battling with Mother Nature not knowing what the heck she wants to do on a daily basis, but, you better believe I was going to get these shots in no matter how cold I was, haha. #commitment

I’m still loving these jeggings – I now own a few pairs at this point.  God forbid this style is discontinued.  This “basic tee” has a little extra flair with a bow at the elbows which I personally love because it can be dressed up, or, down.  It’s a soft cotton and very comfortable.  The boat neck detail is very flattering to any type of figure, and it’s on sale too!  I can’t live without my Chuck’s so I dusted these guys off to pair them with this outfit for a simple, and casual look.

Transitioning Your Winter Wardrobe on a Budget

Cardigan | Tank | Jeans | Bag | Shoes

Some days I really wish that I could just wear jeans and sneakers to work.  Know what I mean?  I feel my best when I’m comfortable and keeping it casual is my jam. If you’re someone that loves casual wear, and are looking to transition your Winter wardrobe into your Spring wardrobe without spending a ton of cash, these pieces are for you!

I am in love with these jeggings because they hug in all the right places, have incredible stretch, and flatter any figure.  I can’t say that they’re necessarily budget friendly because that’s subjective, but, $50 for a pair of good jeans is worth it to me.  Pair these leggings with these fun sneakers gives the outfit a little something extra.  These sneakers are comfortable and on SALE to boot!  Helllloooooo BOGO!  You can’t beat that!

Target has such an awesome selection of cardigans with matching (or mismatching if that’s your thing) tanks.  They wear well, wash well, and don’t break the bank!

My newest favorite piece is this bag by Madewell.  Never in my life did I think I would love any brand other than Coach.  I was SO wrong!  This bag is ginormous, has a versatile canvas material that goes well with just about any outfit, and the price point is right where I like it; affordable!

Are you ready to transition your wardrobe into Spring?

Inspiration Wednesday: Loungewear

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

Happy Inspiration Wednesday, friends!  Clearly you can see a trend here…I freakin’ love the color green and I’m definitely not sorry about it!

I am a big fan of loungewear and am always excited to get out of my work clothes at the end of the day and be comfy.  I am not above wearing baggy sweats, but, sometimes I want to look a little more polished – especially if there’s a chance that company may come over.  I love that this whole combination is cute, comfortable, functional, AND most of this is on SALE!  Pretty much my all time favorite combinations for an outfit.

Aside from the outfit itself, can we talk about scrunchies for a minute?  I love how fashion seems to always come full circle and the 90’s are legit back in full force with these babies.  As much as I love that they’ve made a comeback, I can’t help but think of Carrie’s response to Berger in Sex and the City about how no New York woman would be caught in a hip restaurant wearing a scrunchie…makes me giggle.  That won’t stop me from wearing them again though!

What are some of your favorite loungewear pieces?

 

Biker Chic


Jacket | Shirt (similar) | Jeans | Purse (similar) | Booties (similar)

‘Tis the season to bust out the outerwear!  This is hands down my favorite time of the year and I am super excited to share a few of my recent finds/favorites with you!

Before I get too far into this post, let me just share that the weather was not cooperating with my hair during this photo shoot.  We have some pretty gnarly wind on the island at times and my hair was just all over the stinkin’ place.  Forgive the awkward poses and hair all up in my face.  You work with what you’ve got, right?

I scored this sweet faux leather jacket a few weeks ago and am loving it!  In hindsight, I should have sized down since I am still shedding some unwanted pounds.  I think I was just so excited about trying on an item of clothing that is two sizes smaller than what I had been wearing; woohoo!  That’s okay I will potentially replace this with a smaller size when the time comes!  This awesome faux leather jacket is perfect for brisk weather, but, I would not suggest this as a true Winter coat…unless you literally walk from one warm place to another more often than not.  There is a built in second faux layer which makes it appear that you have a quilted jacket underneath with two zippers to boot.  Bonus…there’s a hood!  It doesn’t get super cold where I’m located so chances are I will be wearing this gem often through the next few months.

Let me just say that if you do not already have like 40 striped shirts in your wardrobe, you need to run out and buy this one!  It is super flattering, doesn’t stretch out, has a cute little pocket in the front, and little baby side slits so the shirt just lays perfectly on the body.  It is perfect to wear on its own, layered under other pieces (as seen here), and can be dressed up/down.  This specific one is sold out at the moment (total bummer), but, I linked another one from the same brand that is a little longer…I may very well be grabbing one for myself haha.

Let’s talk Coach purses for a minute…I have a major obsession and this specific purse is one of 15 (your read that right) that I own.  I cycle through all of my purses depending on my outfit, the season, and pretty much whatever mood I am in.  This purse though – it’s my favorite.  It is super versatile, holds all of my must have items and whatever extraneous items my kids/husband toss in my purse to carry, and looks so chic with every outfit.  Plus it’s a Coach…enough said.

These distressed jeans were pretty much the only jeans I could fit into for a while before I began my health journey and I am so excited that they are getting baggy on me!  Almost to the point of retiring this pair, and purchasing a new pair.  They are so soft, edgy, and look great with the cuff rolled up…mine is mostly because I am vertically challenged and even petite sizes are still too long haha.  If the distressed look is a little much for your taste, I recommend anything from the jegging line because they are amazing!

These booties make an appearance at least once a week.  They are comfy, and fun!  Although the black version is no longer available (for now), you can snag the cheaper version I linked above that are an incredible dupe.  Who wouldn’t want to save $100?!?

I believe all of these pieces will be warn on repeat for the rest of the year.  Do you have a favorite clothing item, or, accessory that you are currently obsessed with?
