a-line skirt, coral bag, coral purse, Denim Jacket, forever 21, full skirt, gold flip flops, jean jacket, Lands' End, nine west bag, stainless steel watch, tank top, Target, target tank, Target Watch, tj maxx, yellow and grey

This outfit turned out better than I thought it would. An easy, but still pulled together outfit for me is a tank or tee with a flirty A-linish skirt and flip flops. It’s so much cuter than just shorts. The skirt is from Forever 21 at least 2 years ago. Go figure, it still has a regular spot in my summer wardrobe. The tank, in heather grey, is from Target this year. Denim jacket (also seen here and here) is so old. H & M about 15 years ago and I still love it. I can wear it open or buttoned up. I liked it better buttoned up for this look. The sleeves are pulled up a la J.Crew 2015. The bag is Nine West, TJ Maxx last summer. The flip flops are Lands’ End (no longer available and hard to find nice gold ones, so if you see a pair, grab them!). Watch is Target (also seen here).

casual outfit, Cynthia Rowley, drawstring shorts, gold flip flops, grey shorts, Lands' End, linen shorts, mint and grey, No Boundaries, strapless top, tube top

This is a short but sweet post. Sweet like my Favorite Perry’s ice cream (hence the post name). Here’s an example of what I wear on a regular day, wrinkles and all. The strapless top is No Boundaries from Walmart — I have 3 of them (two from last year one from this). It’s a great alternative to a tank or tee. They are Junior sized and I hate it when they are too tight so I bought them in Large. Mint is not a color I usually wear but I like the way it looks with navy and I have plenty of that in my closet. Today I pulled out these grey linen drawstring shorts (Cynthia Rowley) I bought at TJ Maxx last spring. Watch is Target (this spring, clearance, close-up here), flip flops are Lands End (last spring also seen here and here)

Almost Summer Layering

belted sweatshirt, Big Buddha, blue, braided belt, gold flipflops, gold menswear watch, Lands' End, Navy, orange, pink bag, summer layering, sundress, tie-dyed

I feel like I need to layer even at this time of year. I know it’s not summer yet, but it’s been feeling like it lately (thank goodness!) The mornings are cold, but then it heats up to 80. This is how I handled it on today. I belted a baggy sweatshirt over my sundress. Simple. The idea of belting a bulky sweater is a la Sarah Jessica. The dress is a TJ Maxx find from the end of the season last year. I find the best stuff at the end of the season. It’s a halter dress, which I love because it makes your shoulders look wider which in turn makes your hips look smaller (yay!), but it is a little loose up top so to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions I wear my Express cami under it. The sweatshirt is from the men’s section at Walmart (also seen here). The belt is an old Target purchase. I love these braided belts because they can fit anywhere. Around your waist, or hips with no hole punching. Gold flip flops are Lands End, also clearance from last year. Watch is Target (clearance this spring) and bag is Big Buddha (TJ Maxx).

Knit Skirt, Lands' End, Over the Knee Suede Boots, Stewart Plaid

Always rushing these last 2 weeks. Took a quick pic before leaving this day for Christmas with my brother’s family. Same plaid shirt from earlier this week (I love it so much) with a knit skirt I found at TJ Maxx, black tights, over the knee suede boots and this gem of a belt I think I may have hijacked from my mother 30 years ago.

This skirt has gotten some major wear since I bought it. It is just adorable and I love the detail just below the waist and the flutter at the bottom. It makes me look more hippy than I am, but it’s worth it.

Black Corduroys, casual outfit, Flannel Shirt, Lands' End, Over the Knee Suede Boots, Stewart Plaid

How was your Holiday? Mine was exhausting! As seen by my face in the pictures… should have worn sunglasses. I am trying harder to post more outfits so please focus on the outfit…not the overtired looking gal wearing the outfit. I’ve got a couple more to share from the last week of celebrations but today’s is casual for taking the kids bowling with some friends. I love my new plaid shirt. It’s in the Stewart Plaid I’ve been drooling over since the Lands End catalog came out. Black cords/Converse (Target), Boots, over the knee Suede/Chinese Laundry, Bag/Steve Madden, Denim Jacket/H&M (sooooo old), Scarf/? but have you noticed that scarves are being worn long like this now? Take note.

Don’t you just love it?

Arturo Chiang, Brown Boots, Cropped Sweater, Lace Dress, Lands' End, Oversized Menswear, Plaid, Quilted Coat, White with off White

When thinking about what to wear today I was inspired by one of my favorite blogs Cupcakes and Cashmere. I just tweaked it to fit my style. Most of these pieces have been shown before. The oversized meanswear shirt layered over my lace dress. But this time I added the cropped sweater (see before here) and my well loved Arturo Chiang boots that I bought at L&T 4 years ago, but I still love them (similar here in Whiskey Tye Dye). The picture looks white but the dress and sweater are cream color. Only the Shirt is white. So there is a little contrast. Can you see it here?

And then there is this coat. What a find! I have to tell someone about it. It’s Lands’ End Kids.. Size XL/14 Found it for $14.99 at a thrift shop (maybe I shouldn’t tell people). But I love the quilting, the plaid lining (another fall trend) and the weight is perfect for fall and into winter. What do you think?

P.S. Have you seen Lands’ End’s New Catalog? I’m in love with the Stewart plaid.
