Sunday Style: Chic Soul Staycation Style

This post is sponsored by Chic Soul. 

I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to go anywhere to have fun! There’s no place like home and today I’m going to give you some ideas of how you can have fun right in your own town! 

In today’s post, I’ve compiled some ideas of things that you can do at home as well as if you are like me in live in or near The Colony, TX. It’s the ultimate staycation guide and bonus! You can do all of this while wearing cute stuff from Chic Soul! 

I’ll be linking all of my outfits for you so you can shop the looks! Make sure to use my code CURVYGIRLONTHERUN15 for an extra 15% discount! 

First up let’s have some fun running around town! These denim shorts and tee shirt are perfect for this! I threw on some Converse tennis shoes and completed the look. The denim shorts have a lot of stretch to them if you’re worried about that and the tee is soft and comfy- I could have sized down but I like the oversized look which allows a tuck-in and I can cuff up the sleeves.

I’d wear this to the park- If you have kids-or even if you don’t!- a park is always and nice place to unwind. There’s always swinging which is my favorite or walking or riding bikes. You can also pack a nice picnic and enjoy a little date! The Colony is home to the Five Star Park which is home for many baseball and soccer games. It’s a great place for walking as well! There are also smaller parks all throughout the city making this town very family-friendly. 

How about some swim time? I’m fortunate to have a great pool in my community which I use frequently! I love this swimsuit from Chic Soul so much! The leopard look is fierce! The fit is a bit small so I’m glad I sized up in this one- especially the bottoms! 

The top is no longer available but you can shop the bottoms here 

The Colony has Hawaiian Falls Water Park which is a fun place for the family with water slides and splash pads! The Colony Aquatic Park is also available if you’re not looking for large slides and want more of a pool. Pools are very common here in Texas and apartment complexes have them as well as a lot of houses- Just FYI if you’re looking to buy or rent in this area! 

This next look is perfect for going out and shopping or dining. Now I know we are not out and about as much as we used to be but in the event you choose to do so, this dress is perfect for that! 

I love the light green and white pattern of this dress and the style is easy and breezy! I just paired sandals with this and some fun Pom earrings and I’m ready to go!

Grandscape is an area in The Colony that’s perfect for finding what you need in one place. They’ve recently opened even more things like Andretti’s Racing, Scheels Sporting Goods and a PF Chang’s! Of course it’s home to Nebraska Furniture Mart which is the main furniture place in this area! Lava Cantina is also a fun place to go for concerts (when we’re allowed to do that again)! 

There are so many restaurants in this one area that you’re sure to find something everyone will love! My personal faves are Another Broken Egg Cafe for brunch, Mi Cocina for Mexican food and great cocktails, Cheddar’s for comfort food, Hard Eight for barbecue and Heritage Pizza for delicious thin crust pizza, salads and craft beer. There are so many other restaurants that are still on my list to try too! 

Don’t forget about the other stuff to do in The Colony like Top Golf, Studio Movie Grill, The Shacks Dining and Dog Park, access to Lewisville Lake, and the nearby Arbor Hills Nature Preserve. There’s just so much to do here! 

Now a true staycation might mean never leaving your house! I’ve got you covered for this as well! 

A tie-dye jumpsuit is the perfect look for lounge and some R&R. This one is so comfy it’s literally like I’m wearing my pajamas! Tie-dye became so popular over quarantine as well and it’s showing up everywhere! 

You can shop the jumpsuit here 

Having fun at home can be as simple as getting some sidewalk chalk and bubbles  from the store- I got mine from Dollar Tree! I also caught these neighbors of mine having fun and I asked if I could snap a couple of pics for this post! 

You could also pick up some other outside stuff like hula hoops, jump ropes and outside games. I love a giant Jenga like puzzle or Connect Four! 

If you’re in The Colony, don’t sleep on Pappa’s Snow Cones truck which will come to you! They have tons of flavors and I love the accessibility! 

I’ve given you so many ideas of things to do on your staycation so I hope you’ve found a couple of things that you and your family can do together and have fun! School is starting up again soon so I know how important family time is before we get busy again in the school year! 

I’ve shown you some fun looks from Chic Soul so don’t forget to shop these and more using my code CURVYGIRLONTHERUN15 so you get an extra 15% discount too!
