Work Style: Colored Jeans
Happy Sunday! Had to think about that one! 😁 I drove back ‘home’ today (still consider Sarasota area home… going to take me awhile to change that lol!) out in the country to see my horses. While I don’t really ride or show horses anymore (it was a huge part of my life from like age 3 til college years), I still care for and own my 2 retired show mares. I thought about moving them closer to me up here in Tampa, but they are well cared for and thriving where they are so I’ve left them down south for now. It’s only a little over 1.5 hours from…

2021 NSale Purchases
Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you all are having a refreshing weekend! My husband and I have laid low this weekend so far – we have so many home projects going at once that I let him work on those and I’m perfectly content relaxing and reading a book! Today I wanted to share my initial in-store Nordstrom Anniversary Sale purchases. I posted the other day that I decided to try something new this year. I purchased all of my items for in-store pickup at my local Nordstrom. Of course not a lot of things on my wish list were in store, but it honestly worked out because I love…

Casual Style: Tie-Waist Shorts + NSale
Hi friends! So today is the day for cardholders – access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Did you shop? What did you buy? You can see my initial wish list post here. I ended up trying something different out this year in hopes I would get items faster. I didn’t really want to shop in store. Pre-Covid I wasn’t a fan of crowds, and this year is no different lol. I figured I could order in store for ‘pickup today’ and pop in for curbside pickup. Yeah, that was 7 hours ago and my order is still ‘being prepared.’ I’m guessing if customer service hasn’t pulled items yet, they are…

Style Under $30, Vol. 12
Happy Saturday! Below are this weeks favorites under $30! Featuring my denim dress (5 star reviews!) and those huggie earrings that I wear all the time (now on sale)! I have the exact earrings featured, but they also come in a couple of other options. The bag is a $25 new arrival from Target ~ definitely some sort of designer dupe! I have my eye on the lace sleeve sweater and skirt for work also! sweater | dress | earrings | bag | skirt

Target Style Finds, Vol. 3
Hi everyone! Happy Thursday! Today I wanted to share a few style finds from my favorite affordable place to shop – Target! Awhile back I stated I should really start a “Target Sunday” or something similar since they drop a lot of new arrivals over the weekend. However, they kind of dropped the ball a little on new finds the last couple of months. Spring was great and then Summer finds have been a little here and there. I figured now was a good time to round up all of the items I’ve found recently that are still available – all of which I wear consistently, and I love that…

Casual Style: Pleated Pull-On Shorts
Happy Wednesday! … I think! I can’t keep my days straight! I thought 2020 was the confusing year, but I feel like my brain has left me more so in 2021! Ahh, anyway – I hope everyone survived Elsa that lives down here in Florida. I know she’s now headed toward the east coast, but hopefully as a weak tropical depression. We were lucky here – she was downgraded to a tropical storm before coming into the Tampa Bay Area last night, and since we live much farther inland than our last home (15 miles from the beach) I think our wind gusts were in the 30s and 40s. Certainly…

NSale Preview: My Wish List
Happy Tuesday! Guess what today is?! Okay you probably already know if you follow a multitude of bloggers, but it’s Day 1 of the preview for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! The NSale is by far one of my favorite sales of the year. I’ve been shopping the sale for quite awhile ~ I think I was introduced to it in 2013/2014? Certainly not in its infancy, but I’ve learned to navigate the sale quite well! What is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? Essentially, a preview of fall items at a great discount. Will these items pop up again later in the year? Yes, they likely will. But, sizes and coloring options…

Work Outfit: Denim Dress
Happy Monday friends! I hope you all had a safe and fun 4th of July holiday! I honestly don’t love the fireworks (not a fan of crowds and noise), so traditionally we stay home and watch good movies. Mostly for the dogs also since they hate the noise. We watched ‘The Tomorrow War’ with Chris Pratt on Amazon Prime last night – highly recommend if you like action movies! Had quite a bit of humor mixed with action which we enjoy. And covered up the fireworks sound quite nicely! And say hello to my blank wall space! My first ‘blog’ photo in the new house! This wall will eventually have…

Accessory In Style: Raffia Earrings
Happy Friday friends! I hope you’ve had a good week! Today I wanted to share something we haven’t worn in awhile – fun new statement earrings! While wearing a mask during the pandemic, I opted for small ‘huggie’ type earrings. Mostly because at work it was a struggle to keep taking my mask on/off each time I would take a sip of my coffee or water and not get caught on my earrings. We also were required to wear a face shield over a mask anytime we were giving an immunization which added to the earring debacle. I ended up thrifting or donating most of my statement earring collection last…
