What I Wore: The Chelsea Rain Boot
Jambu is representing again today with a timely pair of rain boots. Why timely? Well, they arrived the day before we had an uncharacteristically long rainy day. We get plenty of rain in Florida but it's not often that it lasts all through the day. It also happened to be a Friday, which is a casual day for us at work. Did I mention that it was picture day at work? I remembered as soon as I saw my coworkers all dressed up. Yeah. I forgot. However, not all was lost because during the shoot I was able to hide behind the sofa and afterward the sweet photographer, Joni, snapped this photo for me...

What I Wore: Handwoven Boho Beauties
When you're choosing your next pair of shoes to you pick neutral or bold? When it comes to shoes or handbags, I leaned towards neutrals. I wanted to get more cost per wear. I wanted them to go with as much of my existing closet as possible. However, through blog adventures, I've learned that patterns, bold colors, and unique designs cohesively and harmoniously blend with neutrals. They can add so much interest to an outfit. And that cost per wear decreases by the ensemble. What do you think?
Today's post features the fabulously boho-inspired, loafers and matching handbag from the Italian-designed Enjoiya shoes. They sent me the bag and shoes for review, but all opinions are my own. Bonus, I get compliments on these items by friends, as well as strangers - that's always a good indicator! ;)

What I Wore: A Shirt Dress Styled Two Ways
Have you added a shirt dress to your closet yet? I own a couple of sporty tee-shirt dresses but this button-up shirt dress c/o Caite & Kyla is so elevated and loaded with possibilities. You're going to love the gorgeous detailing on this beautiful piece. As for the weight and feel, you will have to trust me when I say it's sublimely soft and comfortable. With the snap-up feature, you now have a trench-style layering piece. Don't you love the beauty of versatility?
Now, this is a Caite & Kyla piece so you know there's going to be embroidery details. This particular design is swoon-worthy. The raw edge hem is around the bottom, on the sleeves, and around the neckline. I wore the dress to church one morning with short block heels and a lacy scarf but switched those shoes for the sneakers pictured here by evening.

What I Wore: High Waisted Dreams from WHBM
I've stayed away from the high-waisted jeans trend, that is until now. I swore them off, though I should know better to swear off anything until I've tried it. However, when WHBM reached out to collaborate, I saw this pair of lightly distressed high-rise denim I had to try them. And I'm happy to report they fit like a dream. Today I styled them two ways, bringing back last week's top!
What makes these jeans special is the stretchy material that WHBM does so well. Instead of feeling compacted, I feel supported. In both looks I feature a half tuck, though I have worn a shirt completely tucked in. I'm surprised to say that I liked that as well.

What I Wore: WHBM Denim and More
Do you shop at WHBM? When I lived in Georgia I frequented their seasonal sales. Their denim was my favorite. Why wouldn't it be? Soft and stretchy in all the right places with unique cuts and designs for a confident approach to the "what am I going to wear today?" question. However, when we moved to Florida, the storefront was no longer around my usual stops. I missed my sale hunts! So you can bet when WHBM reached out for an opportunity to share some of their pieces, I excitedly accepted! Today's post features three of those pieces!

What I Wore: Customizable Eshakti Dresses: Sunflower Poplin
Have you ever had your clothes taylored to you? Other than my wedding dress and a bridesmaid dress or two, I've not tried a clothing service that offers customized sizing. That is of course until now! Eshaki reached out and offered a review on their designs and services from start to finish and I accepted.
There are many designs to choose from, which are conveniently organized by brand style. For example, "Wayward Fancies" are their bohos styles so I camped out there looking for prints and colors I love. Once you find a style you like, the free customizing adventure begins. You can choose the neckline, sleeve length, and of course the length of the dress.Wednesday, August 11, 2021

What I Wore: Gladiator Sandals And Fall Transitions
What am I doing talking about fall transition? Do you see how bright and hot the sun is in Sarasota right now? And it will continue to be hot through September for sure. However, I noticed that this outfit looks like the perfect fall transition, especially with the gladiator sandals from Secret Celebrity. I wore them to the Buff City Soap Event last week and featured them on the blog. However, I thought they needed another feature!

What I Wore: Soft & Trendy Tees By Rockdale Designs
None of us are strangers to a graphic tee, I'm sure. I know I've had my fair share of them over the last 5 plus years. Graphic tees have been styled every which way, allowing individuals to express an idea, thought, or feeling simply through what they are wearing. One can take up a cause, make someone laugh, share cool vibes, express art and even encourage with a design on a tee. I'd like to know who started this trend, wouldn't you?
I've worked with several boutiques, styling and sporting their tees. So I'm no stranger to what a good quality tee feels like. And today I'm happy to share Rockdale Designs' quality and trendy, vintage tees with you! They use sublimation for all their prints, which means you will have a nice permanent print that won't crack or fade!

What I Wore: An Athletic Shoe You Need to Try
Get out there and move! We hear this all the time. We know that walking is tremendously beneficial to our health or dare I say, vital. Our body is like a banking account. You can make deposits or withdrawals based on food choices, environment, and activity. Every substance or food that our body recognizes is used and what it used gets a good interest rate, building on our future health. However, everything that our body doesn't recognize is a toxin. Those toxins make withdrawals.

What I Wore: Casual, Relaxing Vibes
What do you think about the shortall trend that continues to live on? Though I often fight with the shoulder straps, I still wear them on repeat. You can give up the strap-struggle and wear one side down, use them as a bathing suit coverup or sport them classically. And the laid back, relaxing vibe is paramount in a pair of overalls. Of course, if you can find a graphic tee that fits perfectly within your bib triangle, you've lucked out! That my friends is what happened to me last week.
Featured today are items shopped from my closet, though I've linked what I could find. I wore this getup to meet up with my in-laws, which includes my husband's aunt and uncle. After a hike through the beautiful Emerson Point Preserve, we ventured to lunch at a local Jamaican restaurant.
Speaking of adventures, we are heading on our first family vacation in almost 4 years so I'm keeping it short for today. We aren't going far and we're keeping it short, but we are happy to do something with the six of. So maybe next week, I'll have some fun pictures to share with you!

What I Wore: Comfort Wedges Styled Two Ways
Do you like shoes with height or do you stick to flats? If you stick to flats, is it style preference or because shoes with a heel are no longer comfortable? Well, each time I get a compliment on these Lexa Wedges by (and c/o) Aetrex Shoes, I want to share how comfortable they are and why that is! I've styled these coral cuties with jeans, slacks, and dresses. And there wasn't a time I didn't receive a compliment from someone! Today I'm sharing two looks I paired these shoes with, so even if you're all about flats, maybe you'll be inspired on ways to style the color coral.

How To Make Dinners Easy With Blue Ribbon Foods
How convenient would it be if when you planned your menu for the week, you already knew you had a freezer full of choices? And to sweeten the deal, what if those choices were all-natural, farm-to-table produce, meats, and more? Since hitting the reset button on our family diet, my biggest dilemma has been quality meat choices that are affordable. So when the opportunity arose to review Blue Ribbon Foods and services I jumped on board. Read on for an inside peek!

What I Wore: Print Mixing With One-Of-A-Kind Prints
Sale Alert!
Style Takeaway
- As always, try something you haven't tried before.
- Two different prints in the same colors just might work if worn in just the right place.
- When mixing prints, I opt to keep the accessories neutral or subtle.
- A blazer styled with sneakers makes for a cool, calm, and collected vibe.
- A hip sack makes for a convenient, hands-free experience while adding balance to certain outfits.
What's Up On Social Media
Well, of course, there was this print mixing style challenge. There's a sale on my favorite skincare (25% off site-wide with code: MOM) and Friday I'm featuring a new pair of kicks!
