What I Wore: National Leggings Day With WHBM

Happy National Leggings Day! I know. There's a day for everything now. We are even celebrating an item that seems to have changed how we look at fashion. I remember a YouTube video called "Active Wear" making fun of how we took gym clothes and made them into everyday clothes. But it didn't stop there, did it? Now we dress them up! We wear them with sneaks, flats, heels, and boots. Oh, I love a good chunky sweater (or shacket nowadays) and some cute boots! Well, Florida is not ready for chunky sweaters so today's feature is a pair of faux leather leggings c/o WHBM styled for day and night. 

Also, I have another life update to share at the end of the post. Missed Friday's post? You can catch up right HERE. 

What I Wore: A Spring Dress To Impress

 

How do you feel about dresses? Dresses were not my thing once upon a time because I thought they were too limited on how I could wear them. I had so much to learn! Since moving to Florida I began to wear them to keep cool, etc. BUT, my appreciation grew, when I realized the style potential each dress has.  Last week I shared examples on how to layer tops HERE. This week it's all about a new spring design, sent to me by Caite & Kyla Clothing. You're going to love all the design features contained in this one piece! 

What I Wore: Layering Dresses For More Looks

Last week was all about the Pantone colors for spring: Ultimate Grey & Illuminating. This week we get to play with style creations through layering. It means more options, more ways to wear, and more bang for your buck.  Today'ss featured dress is another Caite & Kyla addition from the fall (spring styles are on their way!). Of course, we can layer our dresses with outer pieces, but why not make more looks by layering tanks, tees, sweaters, sweatshirts? Of course, this isn't a new concept by any means. However, I hope to inspire you with more possibilities! 

Also, this is a fun way to recreate a dress for Easter! Ok, let's get to it. 

Embroidery Meets Snakeskin Featuring Caite & Kyla

Welcome to another fashion adventure and the Style Six Link up! I say adventure because today's post features my first attempts at styling a pair of snakeskin print leggings! That should be easy, but with the additional embroidery detail, I wondered if I could do them justice.  As it turns out, that these leggings are beautiful dressed up or down, with whites, beiges, tans, black and I'm sure much more! 

As for the origin of these leggings, if you follow me on Instagram stories then you may know that I visited Caite & Kyla's showroom and warehouse. In truth, I invited myself and they graciously accepted me. It was wonderful to meet the faces behind this innovative, bohemian-inspired, and adventurous clothing label. And while I was there, I noticed these leggings and asked if I could try them on. Of course, you know how that went! Wink. ;) 

How I Style Wedge Sneakers

Like many trend trains over the years, I hesitated hopping aboard the wedge sneaker trend. However, when I tried on a few pairs I knew I'd cave. Now I have two pairs! I love the fun, casual vibe with added height wedges give. Both of mine are from Target - are you surprised? Anyway, I'll be brief with a few looks styled with these chic sneaks! 

Leopard Wedge Sneakers

Of course a pair of jeans would be fabulous to pair with them, as are leggings, and just about any pair of pants.  For this outfit I grabbed my tried and true kimono vest, a graphic tee and those jeans.

Seamless Print Styling: Camo, Snakeskin, Stripes & Leopard

Hello! While on an Alaskan adventure of a lifetime with my sister, I had the opportunity to meet Nicole at High Latitude Style! After meeting the unassuming, stylish and sweet Nicole, I've continued to follow along with her blog, appreciating her insightful tips in fashion. I wish we could meet in Alaska again, but for today I'll content myself with the privilege to cohost her weekly link up, Top of the World Style!

Nicole does not fit in a fashion box, boldly mixing prints and colors even before it became trendy to do so! For that reason, I thought I'd feature as many print mixes in my outfit as possible! I hope you will join us in linking up! :)

Wild Print Mixing & Red Bow Shoes

Hello! As I type, Fraser plays on the television while my husband and eldest bellow back and forth about last Friday night's HS football game. In the midst of their clamor my youngest two clamor to chime in. My middle son joins them, ice cream bowl in hand. Of course all this brings the dog from her slumbering couch nap in hopes of a quick game of tug-o-war, or maybe even a dropped snack. It's a typical evening around.

Though we thought we'd be hunkering down from torrential rains and angry winds, hurricane Dorian went in another direction. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bahamas, as thousands are not enjoying a "normal" evening at home.
