September Pinned It, Spinned It: Week One

I haven't been doing my own style challenges for a couple of months now. I had a lot of fun May through July hosting them but it got to where I wasn't really able to wear what I wanted. I took off a month in August and didn't participate in any challenges at all. It was great coming up with my own ideas and combinations and I didn't struggle at all, although I missed the comradery of others participating in the same challenge as myself. 

When I saw the Pinned It, Spinned It was back from my girls Jamie and Amy (@jro1583 and @aem8168) on Instagram, I decided to join in on this one again. You all have seen my posts about loving Pinterest so I  thought this would be a great way to get back into the challenge game. 

We started on Tuesday since Monday was a holiday. I thought this was actually such an easy outfit to recreate on my own and it was perfect for the first day back to school. 


Wednesday I took liberty and recreated an outfit using more of the silhouette of the outfit and not really the colors. I liked this skirt that I got for Mothers Day with a gift card and actually asked for styling suggestions on Instagram and received about thirty of them! This was the second way I have worn this skirt so far. 


On Thursday, I reversed it and used the colors but not the shapes. I didn't have anything green striped so I went for a green tee, floral pants and purple shoes. Comfortable and stylish! 
The suggestion on Friday was a yellow sweater with a dark bottom and a leopard scarf. I decided to choose a brown and white dress ( see my post called Eva Gets Me) and wear it with  yellow and brown necklace and leopard pumps. Viola! I actually loved my version of this! 


 September is off to a great start in the world of style! I like that it's still a little warmer and summer is still hanging on. The end of this week, we are supposed to be high in the 60's. I'm hoping it will warm up a bit after that-  I'm not ready for cold weather yet! 

Thanks for reading and following along with me!

Less Bitter, More Glitter

Image
The saying goes "Spread Kindness around like Glitter" -okay it is really "Spread Kindness around like Confetti", but why not glitter instead? Glitter can be messy, it can be hard to clean up and can be fun and colorful. Just like our lives. Just a friendly reminder that this time of year can especially be a hard time for people. Holidays are a time when a lot of people see their friends and family but sometimes people don’t have anyone. Or maybe there are some people who don’t have much money to get gifts. Or some are remembering those that are no longer with us here on earth. Regardless of how you do or do not celebrate, remember to throw kindness around freely! Less bitterm more glitter! It’s a great time to spread cheer but so is all year!   Show a smile to a stranger or pay for someone’s drink behind you in line. Write someone a note to tell them how much you appreciate them. Random acts of kindness are good all throughout the year. When all els

Chic Soul May New Arrivals

This post is sponsored by  Chic Soul .  Now I already know what you’re thinking- what is she doing posting May content in the middle of June? Well as you all know, there has just been so much going on that sometimes posts like this one get delayed. Sometimes it’s more important to follow along with the way the world is going and prioritize other things that mean more like the Black Lives Matter movement. Sometimes work we do as bloggers and influencers needs to be delayed so the focus can really be on what matters or what is going on in the world. This is just one of those times.  Now you all know that I won’t disappoint you with these fresh new looks! I chose a couple of dresses and a couple of casual looks. I can’t believe I’m wearing shorts in two of these looks! You all know I’m normally a dress wearing gal but I do love some fun casual looks as well! Over on my Instagram, I did try-ons and had people vote for which look they wanted to see first. The first look was this navy one th
