Whites and Summer Brights with Ageless Style

It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge.  This month Mireille picked Whites with Summer Brights (pairing a white dress or skirt with some bright colors for the summer). 


I knew right away I wanted to pair my new white gauze skirt from Aerie with one of bright summer tops. It didn't hurt that this skirt is the only white skirt or dress I own but I really am loving this gauze material this summer and the skirt is so well made and in one of my favorite maxi length/tiered styles. 

I tried a few shirts before settling on my Lily Pulitzer tank top. When I think summer brights I always think of Lily! Plus I found that with a wide skirt like this I liked the look of a top that hugged my hips instead of hanging down loose. 




I accessorized with some fun coral/blue beaded bracelets and my sparkly white flip flops. The gold chain of the top meant I didn't need a necklace at all.

    The perfect summer outfit! The bright colors of the top pair nicely with the crisp white of the shirt. I mentioned that I recently bought my first Lily P- it is a pair of white shorts. I have enjoyed wearing the shorts with bright tops. I should look into getting a Lily top like the one you are wearing. The colors are great and it is a flattering style.

    That white skirt is perfect: I am now on the lookout for one: I haven't had a white peasant style skirt for a couple of years and I need to replace it. It works with so much! Love the pretty top with it!

      Thank you! My poor photographer was really complaining about the full sun and getting good shots without lots of shadows.

    I love those flowy skirts and they always say summer to me...but I, too, think they are tricky for styling. I don't seem to have the right (non-flowy or loose) tops that compliment them. Your top is perfect. This outfit is everything summery:)

    We are twinning with our white skirts and bright tops. I love the colors in this top, so pretty and perfect for summer. I am also a fan of your skirt, I've been wanting to borrow my daughters as it's perfect for the beach.

    Now, that is a beautiful white skirt, Joanne! I love the Lilly top with it, too. Of course, I love Lilly anyway! You look so summery and ready to go on vacation in the Caribbean!

    That is such a beautiful skirt. I bet it feels light. There are so many pretty gauze pieces this summer and that fabric seems to be so easy to care for and wear. I have just ordered a replacement for my too-tight white dress and I think it will be gauzy. Hoping so.
    Love the top you paired your skirt with, too. Such pretty spring-summer colors. Like dragonfly wings. Our outlet mall has an Aerie outlet. I picked up a pair of jeans I ordered from American Eagle there - I guess those stores are cousins?? - and was impressed with the pretty things they have. I need to remember to shop there more regularly. Their prices were good, too.
    The photo of you in the forest is just so pretty. Your photographers do a great job!!

      Thank you! It does feel very light; it's one of the reasons I am really loving gauze this summer.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll.
