When Everything Is Dull, Wear Green

Wednesday, March 3, 2021

One of my favorite holidays of the year is coming up and I found some fun (and cheap) finds to get you looking super festive for St. Patrick's Day from Target! ☘



Any of these tees would be super cute for running errands, grabbing a green drink, or under a cute cardigan for work.

If you prefer to rock a tank under your cardigan or flannel, these are some cute options :)
And if you have nice weather rock it as is! 



How cute are these earrings?
They would pair perfectly with one of the tees or tanks above, or by themselves for just a touch of the Irish.



And who doesn't like festive socks?
If there is one thing you rock on St. Patrick's Day let it be one of these fun pairs of socks!

Target has even more cute and festive St. Patrick's Day for the whole family on their site and in store.

Now I want to know...do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day?
Do you wear green and eat special foods that day?
Let me know in the comments below :)

May the luck of the Irish be with you ☘💚

Fall Is Here!

Wednesday, September 23, 2020

Hello and Happy Wednesday!
Fall is here my friends and I am all about it!
A pumpkin tee was the perfect way to celebrate the first day of fall yesterday!
Don't worry, it was a dress down day in our office ;)

I picked this festive tee up a couple of years ago and it is perfect for all the fall things!
I typically score my festive tees like this one on Jane.com, Etsy, or Target.
I linked some similar options below :)

I paired it with my must have denim jacket of course, some green jeans and my cognac booties.
Perfectly pulled together, perfectly me!


Fall Tees - Jane, Etsy
Denim Jacket - Kut from the Kloth
Jeans - Similar
Booties - Similar

Are you excited fall is finally here?
It is my favorite season for so many reasons.
The leaves change colors here in Ohio.
It's Football season!
Bring on all the cozy sweaters and boots!
It is the perfect season to sit outside by a bonfire.
The list is endless for me!

What about you?
What is your favorite thing about fall?

Let's Talk About Swimwear

Wednesday, July 8, 2020

Honestly, shopping for swimwear was never that big of a deal to me.
Basically from after high school I worked in the summer months.
I wasn't laying out like I did in my teen years.
So shopping for a swimsuit was only when we were getting ready to go on vacation.
Basically, how I'm shopping now ;)

We leave soon for the Outer Banks and I would love a new swimsuit that makes me feel good.
I have quite a few of them from previous years, but there is something about going on vacation with a new one.
So far this year I haven't found one I love :(

I have tried Target and Amazon so far.
Actually, I have two new ones from Amazon that should be arriving within the week so fingers crossed they are the ones!

Everything I have tried is super cute, and the quality has been really good for the price.
So I decided to share them all with you in case you are in the market for a new swimsuit as well.

I'm just putting this out there....I don't wear a one piece.
I have one in my collection, and it rarely gets worn.
I have an odd length torso so they never look good on me, and I pee WAY TOO MUCH to have to rip that wet thing off and on all day.

I own one Tankini top.
Again, they just never fit me right.
I bought one a few years ago because I knew I would be around some friends and their kiddos and didn't want to look odd in a bikini.

So that leaves us with a basic two piece bikini.
I have different types of them.
Bandeau top, halter style, lace up, etc.
Most my bottoms are the basic bikini style with medium coverage.
I do have one bottom that has high waist. Not my favorite.
However, it is can be adjusted and pushed down a bit so that is why I kept them.

Now that I got all that out of the way...you still here?
I'm going to share a couple of my suits from years past that are still available, and a few new ones I have tried recently.
And don't worry, I'm not sharing myself in any of them.
I'm not a size 0...and I'm ghostly white!

I tried to find more of my suits that I know are available in store, but I can't find them online.
I have a couple from the Shade & Shore brand.

Amazon.com: Ekouaer Womens Forest Leaves Printing High Neck Halter ...

High Neck Halter Bikini Set - This is a cute and simple option I picked up a few years ago.

CUPSHE Flower Print Tank Bikini Set Women Lace up High Waisted ...

High Waisted Lace Up Halter Bikini Set - These are the high waisted bottoms I referenced above.
I really like how this suit fits, and the ease of adjusting the height of the waist.

Amazon.com: CUPSHE Women's Mid Waisted Bikini Set Lace Up Two ...

Mid Waist Lace Up Bikini Set - I ordered this in the white/green option.
This should arrive by early next week.
It is super similar to the style above, so I'm really hoping this one works out :)

Amazon.com: SUUKSESS Women Wrap Bikini Set Push Up High Waisted 2 ...

High Waisted Criss Cross Bikini Set - I ordered this one in the purple/pink tie dye option.
Tops are SO HARD to shop for for me!
Most the reviews sound like this could be a winner for me as well.

SHEKINI Women's Push-up Halter Bandage Ruched High Waisted Bottoms ...

Halter Bandage Bikini Set - I almost kept this one.
The fit is TTS, and I really liked these bottoms.
The top size was just slightly off for me, so I returned it in the end.
If you aren't bigger busted, I would totally suggest this one!


COCOSHIP Womens Ruching High Waist Bikini Set Cross Wrap Push Up ...

High Waisted Wrap Around Bikini Set - Same goes for this one as the one above.
The waist is much higher on this bottom if you are looker for more coverage.
Again, this top style is great for a smaller bust size.

I also tried a couple options from Target, but they aren't available online right now.
One was a tie dye scoop style top with bikini bottom - they are mix and match.
Super cute, but the scoop style doesn't look very good on me.

I would love to hear your thoughts now!
Where do you shop for swimwear?
What is your favorite style?
One piece, Tankini or two piece?

Style My Way | Eyelet in the sky

Wednesday, June 24, 2020

When you shop for new clothes do you typically have something in mind that you are looking for, or do you just buy whatever jumps out at you?
I typically don't buy anything I just see as I shop.
I go to stores or sites with the intent to find an item that I have pictured in my head.

So when I headed to Target the other day I was looking for an eyelet top of some sort.
I actually picked up the exact same top in two different colors since you aren't able to use the dressing rooms right now.
Honestly, I wasn't giving the navy one much thought.
In my mind I was going to wear the white version.
Well, to my surprise I really liked the navy one so much more!

I paired it with some simple white chino shorts and sandals for an evening with friends.
It was perfect!


Navy Eyelet Top - Available in white & rose as well.
Straw Sandals - similar
Straw Handbag (not shown)
Earrings (shown below)
Sunglasses - not shown


Which is your favorite way to shop - In store or online?

Thanks as always for stopping by!

Style My Way | Rainbow Nails

Wednesday, June 10, 2020

I love mixing up polish colors, but due to working in a business casual office I don't get to have as much fun with polish.
All this working from home stuff lets me branch out a bit!
I recently saw someone on Instagram with a fun mix of summer colors on their nails (I can't remember who) and knew I wanted to do something similar.
By no means am I am expect at doing my nails, I have old lady hands, and cuticles that are just 😱
I am the type of person that as soon as my nails get past the tip of my finger I am itching to bite them off trim them ;)
I envy all you ladies who can work and do things with longer nails.

Side note: I had nails put on for prom one year and as soon as the dance was over, not the evening, I ripped them all off.
They drove me crazy!
Hence why I had a basic manicure the day before my wedding and then ended up painting them myself.

Back to those fun nails I mentioned before.

I would love to try the tie dye look, but baby steps.

So I grabbed some of my summer polishes and created a bit of cotton candy rainbow.

Remember, old lady hands here ;)


Here are the polishes I used.

Do you try any fun nail trends or do you keep it prim and proper?
What are your favorite brands of nail polish?
I always tend to gravitate to Sally Hansen because they go on so well!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sunshiny Day | Style My Way

Wednesday, June 3, 2020

If you are like me, I'm not buying any new clothes these days.
Honestly, I just bagged up 4 garbage bags full of clothes that I donated.
So I am sharing a look straight out of my closet that I recently wore.

With everything going on in the world and such, I wanted something that was cheery and bright.
I paired a yellow striped tank, some white denim shorts and cognac sandals together for a great, and easy summer look.


I even threw my must-have denim jacket over it to dress it up a bit ;)


Everything I'm wearing is from last year or older, but I found some similar items to help you recreate this look.

Tanks/Tees
Shorts
Amazon - Daily Ritual Raw Edge Denim Shorts
Old Navy - Mid Rise Distressed Shorts
Target - High Rise Denim Denizen, Universal Thread

Sandals
Amazon - Sam Edelman Slides
Old Navy - Double Strap Sandal
Target - My Exact Sandals - So comfortable!

Denim Jacket
What are you wearing on these hot summer days?
