Outfit Inspiration | July 8, 2013

Outfit Ideas

In the spirit of the festivities of the past weekend I thought I’d start with this outfit. It felt very all American, very Jackie O. I even paired it with my pearl earrings and my Mom’s gold chain rope necklace. I was inspired by the 4th of July!

Outfit Links:
Top- J.Crew, Skirt- J.Crew, Shoes- J.Crew last winter

Loving my Chiquita Banana top from Madewell (I don’t think there is actually a banana on the shirt). My boys love it, too!

Outfit Links:
Top- Madewell, Belt- J. Crew Here for Similar, Shorts- Citizens of Humanity, Shoes- Steven for similar

This outfit reminds me of the old tennis outfits back in the day! Was I headed to tennis? No, just the grocery store -ha!

Outfit Links:
Top- Lacoste, Shorts- J.Crew, Shoes- Steven for similar, Watch- Michael Kors, Hoops- Nordstrom

Y’all are going to think I’m crazy, but I get really cold in restaurants. Most of the restaurants in Texas pump the A/C, which my husband loves but it leaves me miserable- trying to eat as fast as I can so that I can get the heck out of there. When we were headed to get pizza on Friday, I knew just the pants I wanted to wear to keep me warm.

Outfit Links:
Top- J.Crew, Pants- J Brand, Shoes- Aldo, Bag- Madewell, Long Necklace- J.Silver, Short Necklace- Nordstrom for similar

I had forgotten about all my “summery” belts!

Outfit Links:
Top- J.Crew, Pants- Old Navy, Belt- J. Crew Factory, Shoes- JCPenny

Still loving my Old Navy jeans!

Top- Splendid, Tank- Gap, Pants- Old Navy, Shoes- Steven for similar, Necklace- Nashelle,Hoops- Nordstrom

I love cream and brown with the turquoise, so I decided to throw on my cream shrug from this fall with my turquoise shorts. It ended up being pretty cold at the indoor playground I took my sons to but I had my sweater on, perrrrrfect!

Outfit Links:
Shrug- Urban Outfitters for similar, Tank- Mossimo, Shorts- J.Crew Factory, Shoes- Aldo,Hoops- Nordstrom

I love to tuck my t-shirts into my maxi skirts! Well, we all know I love to wear t-shirts.

Outfit Links:
Top- J.Crew, Skirt- Here for similar, Necklace- J.Crew Here for similar,Hoops- Nordstrom

I also find church and the grocery store freezing and so the pants appear again! Don’t worry, I changed into flats for the grocery store after church. Yes, I am not the most graceful.

Outfit Links:
Top- Splendid, Pants- J Brand, Wedges- Michael Kors for similar

My red, white and blue outfit!

Outfit Links:
Top- Madewell, Skirt- J.Crew, Shoes- Converse, Sunglasses- Ray Ban

    so fun to see all of these. I don’t think you’re crazy about the air conditioning AT ALL – I carry cardis with me every time I’m going into a public space like that. Ridiculous. I can’t get the benefit of my cute summer clothes because I’m always looking to stay comfortable in AC!

      Cathy- Unfortunately, the necklace was purchased many years ago from Beyond Baroque at the Nutcracker Market in Houston. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.

    Fantastic outfit ideas! As much as I love the fashion on your blog (the only one I follow and I’m completely hooked!) I have a slightly random question…. Can you tell me about the rug you’re standing on in these pics? -your living room rug, I’m thinking?

      Ha! As I hit “publish” a moment ago, I saw that Katie asked the same question about your rug! …guess my question wasn’t as random as I thought!! 😉

I highly recommend, if you have not been. Their show in Dallas is open through November 13th.

Do you want new hair growth in your eyebrows? I ha Do you want new hair growth in your eyebrows? I have a trick, and no, it’s not an expensive hair growth serum! It’s Castor Oil, so it’s all natural and inexpensive. Apparently, it’s been used for thousands of years dating back to ancient Egypt. Ok, and I use it on my eyelashes, too, but I’m doing that at my own risk. I don’t want to recommend this practice, since I don’t really know what it’s going to do to my eyesight. I know, call me crazy- it’s fine. 

Thanks to my friend, Michelle for telling me about this little trick! 

Comment “oil” for  links to both the Castor Oil and the wands I use. #beautytips #beauty #eyebrows #beautyproducts
I attended a funeral today of a friend who died of I attended a funeral today of a friend who died of mental illness. If my friend is strong enough to stand at the podium and talk about her husband and the hope her family has in the midst of their darkest days, then I want to honor both of them by telling you about my struggle with mental illness. My friend mentioned that many of her husband’s closest friends had no idea that he’d been struggling with mental illness for 3 years, and I realized that many of you, and probably some of my closest friends don’t know how long and hard my struggle has been with mental illness. For me my mental illness wasn’t the kind where I couldn’t get out of bed or out of the house, which would make it hard to tell I was struggling. For me it looked more like battling through the day and struggling with my own self condemning thoughts and emotions - shaming myself for being happy one minute and sad the next, or for not being happy all the time, looking around at all my blessings and not feeling gratitude, which made me feel like there was something wrong with me. It was hard to get excited. On some days I walked around feeling like a scared puppy in a big bad world with my emotions right at the surface. For me, my faith is very important to me, and I knew this was not the life God had for me, so I started to pray for help and deliverance. God started to lead me to help in a whole bunch of different forms, counselors, health practitioners, friends, medicine, trauma therapy, EMDR, books, excercise, the support of family, and most importantly, Christ and His word. 
For me, it was over a 10 year battle probably because I was overcoming a lot of trauma being raised by an alcoholic mom. But for you it may be longer or shorter or this isn’t something you struggle with at all (hallelujah!). If you do, your emotions and your struggle may be different. But I’m here to say, you’re loved. You are loved by God and by so many of the people around you. Don’t give up. Dig in and fight the battle that’s happening in your mind. Fight it like you would if you had cancer. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #mentalhealthmatters
I had fun taking this outfit from day to night by I had fun taking this outfit from day to night by swapping out my denim skirt for my leather skirt!! I’m also totally digging socks with loafers. Takes me right back to my middle school days, and I’m not sad about it! And yes, that’s what my closet looked like after trying to figure those outfits out, but it was fun! 🤷🏼‍♀️

How to get the cuffed denim look without buying a How to get the cuffed denim look without buying a new pair of jeans! You don’t need to buy a new pair of jeans to get the cuffed denim look! Just grab a pair of straight leg jeans from your closet, cuff them to be about an inch or 2 above the top of your ankle bone and use the nifty little gadget from this tutorial. Viola! Plus, the cuffed denim length makes it a heck of a lot easier to wear most of the shoes in your closet! #winning
