Casual Style: Henley Sweater
Sharing another popular trend this fall ~ the henley sweater (or top). I suppose this one goes along with the polo sweater. I think I’ve occasionally seen a combination of the 2 (polo collar with buttons down the open v-neck). I honestly love anything that elevates an outfit. It’s a good idea to have basics in your closet (crewneck sweater with no graphics, buttons, or anything of interest), but usually in a neutral color also. These options are great to pair with a trendy statement shoe or over maybe print skirt or pant. Otherwise, gimme anything with a little extra on it! Like this henley sweater. 🙂 My exact sweater…

Work Style: Lacy Ruffle Sleeve Top + Life update!
Life update: Skip below if you’re only here for the outfit. 🙂 Hi friends! I have quite the announcement today! I’ve given notice to my current employer after accepting a work from home position with an insurance company! If you know me personally, I have worked in retail pharmacy for 16 years. I started from the ground up as a technician, worked into a lead tech role, then intern, and now for the last 6 years I’ve been a retail pharmacist. And honestly… I’m tired. Real tired. You know us retail folk always joke about finding new jobs, we have bad days and say “I can’t do this anymore!”… but…

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…

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…

Casual Style: Flutter Sleeve Top
Hi friends! Talk about a whirlwind of a last week or so! I knew things were going to get busy because I worked the last 7 out of 8 days. But then I had a crap day at work right in the beginning of my 7 day stint and it just ruined my vibe for the rest of the week. I really hate that! And then I think I just got really run down and developed a sinus-y infection (not saying the “C” word! lol!). I feel a lot better today, but that facial pain/headache that comes with sinus infections are the worst! And so I slept the day away…

Casual Style: Rust & Olive
Happy Thursday friends! Today I wanted to share a bold spring/summer outfit using 2 of my favorite colorways ~ rust (or cinnabar to be exact lol) and a shade of olive green. Both colors are popular in the summer months because they are so easy to transition into fall looks. Since neutral hues have been so popular this spring, we are already seeing quite a bit of rusty brown, beige, and every neutral color in between trend in stores. While a pair of white or lighter denim would be an obvious choice pairing with this top, olive is a great choice also! Especially olive shorts if you live in Florida…

Work Outfit: Floral Pintucked Top
Happy Wednesday! Is the week really halfway done? I went back to work this week and I’m tired lol! I forgot what getting up at 5 am with 6.5-7 hours of sleep and standing on my feet all day feels like apparently ha! Funnily enough though – I’m only working 8 hour shifts the next 2 weeks. I shouldn’t even be complaining – I should be celebrating! And we found out today our pharmacy store hours are returning to pre-Covid times in July, which means bring on the 12-13 hour shifts ugh. I do not miss those. I’m dreading every second of it. So I should soak up the 8…

Wish List, Vol. 12
Multiple times a week I like to cruise my favorite retailer websites and add new arrivals to my cart. However, they usually sit there in my cart until a good sale hits, before I purchase! These were the items that caught my eye this week! chunky beaded necklace | dress | ruched tank top | overalls | sandals I hope you all had a great weekend!

Work Style: Floral Tiered Skirt
Happy Tuesday everyone! I had to think about that one for a second – hard to remember what day of the week it is lol! No new house updates (yet) – we have the appraisal and inspection set for our current home this week. Dreading the appraisal portion since housing prices are elevated right now and hoping we have a committed buyer. Crossing fingers! I wanted to share my work outfit with you today ~ I’ve become a huge fan of LOFT’s tiered skirts for work. Mostly because they have an elastic waistband! 🙂 And that means they are really comfortable. I apologize for the lack of sizing in my…

Work Style: Faux Leather Leggings
I’m so happy it’s finally cold enough in Florida to wear these awesome faux suede leggings! They are so, so soft. I love that they are a little thicker also, so they fit really more like pants then leggings. I feel comfortable wearing them with a regular sweater like shown or a tunic sweater. I’m wearing my regular size and they fit perfectly. Both my sweater and leggings are currently 50% off + free shipping with code ‘JOY’! leggings | sweater | headband | similar pumps DEAL OF THE DAY: I’m always on the hunt for comfy pants. I live in joggers and leggings in the evenings and weekends. These…
