Sunday Style: Pinterest-Inspired

Hi everyone! I have to say it is so good to be back writing on the blog! I missed writing and viewing everyone's pictures on Instagram as well. I had a great time in Charlotte working this week and catching up with people I don't get to see that often. Working remotely has its benefits but face time is priceless! Many thanks to my two blogger buddies, Emily and Alice, who guest posted for me while I was away! I hope you all had a chance to check out their posts! 

Well, look no further than Pinterest and you will get inspiration for days and days of outfit ideas. Today we wrapped up our weekend camping trip (more on that to come later) and headed home in time to get over to Greenfield Village for Motor Muster. Today's Joyful June Style challenge was Pinterest-inspired so naturally I took a look for something appropriate to wear outside all day. 

I found this outfit that got me thinking about what I would like to wear- I searched for an outfit with a fedora since I wanted to wear my hat again! Here's the inspiration along with a picture of me wearing my version of it:


I didn't wear any jacket or sweater since the weather was perfect and nothing was needed. It was great to walk around the village and of course, I used the opportunity to take lots of outfit pics! I bought this dress at the Ann Taylor outlet last summer for a steal. The sandals are from the Bass outlet last year as well. The earrings and hat are from Loft and the bracelet is an oldie but goodie from Kohl's. 

Motor Muster is a great collection of cars from all of the decades that car collectors bring in specifically for this weekend. They basically line them up by decade and everyone walks around and views them. There are also areas of motorcycles, bicycles and military vehicles. Greenfield Village is part of the Henry Ford which houses a museum as well as the village. The village is a collection of buildings that have all been moved there such as Thomas Edison's Laboratory and the Wright Brothers' Bicycle shop just to name a couple. It's a great place to hang out during the summer. You'll often find us packing our lunch and taking there for a picnic on the weekend. 

Here are some pictures from today's adventures and highlighting this Pinterest-inspired outfit. Enjoy! 













I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Happy Father's Day out there to all the dads!

Sunday Style: Green

Image
Green is my favorite color. I think it brings out the color in my eyes and it looks great with my skin tone.There's lots of sayings with green in them too. Give the green light. Green thumb. Going green. (Make no mistake- I didn't say Go Green- that's for all you Spartan fans out there). Green around the gills. Green with envy- well, don't be green with envy but I am sitting here in sunny Florida enjoying the warm weather and time with family and friends... This green dress has been hanging in my closet for a while but this was the first time that I got it out. I scored it on a major sale but just haven't had a chance to wear it. I always say why wait for a special occasion?  What I love most about this dress is the neckline. I tell you all the time that it's hard for me to wear a straight skirt or dress and this is no exception. I like the look of it but I do think I'll spend a few more dollars and have it tailored a little more. I paired nude pumps

Sunday Style: JJ’s House

Image
It’s been said in various ways that clothes don’t make the person, the person makes the clothes. I believe this to be exceptionally true in this beautiful dress that I am wearing in today’s post! This dress literally made me wish that I was heading out to the opera or a benefit dinner. I love that I get to wear and model a lot of clothes and some just feel more special than others. This dress was custom made for me so I got all the feels while I was zipping it up and looking in the mirror. It fits like a glove and I could not be more in love with it!  Let’s talk about  JJ’s House  for a minute. They have all sorts of dresses for special occasions, including bridal wear! I picked out a dress and did my measurements and sent them in with my order. They even called me once to make sure that my measurements were correct so they made sure to make the dress correctly!  This  dress  has gorgeous nude tulle with a black lace overlay. I literally felt like a princess wearing this! It has a high
