Minis

Greetings from the beach! I'm currently vacationing with my family and soaking up all the time together (Ryan was away for nearly a month). I've even been embracing a slower pace doing puzzles, reading and resting. One of the highlights was finding 46 shark teeth and some beautiful sea shells yesterday!

YELLOW FLORAL MINI SKIRT

I've never been a mini skirt gal nor a short-shorts gal for that matter. I like my hem lines long. BUT in this heat less coverage is a matter of survival. I find that I fancy skirts in a light fabric with movement created by ruffles or an a-line design.

This one has a flat front, fun yellow floral print, and two drop hem ruffled layers with an eyelet trim. This yellow is like a neutral and pairs beautifully with other colors like purple, blue and green. Denim is always nice too.

Tip: Transition this one nicely into Fall with a sweater and/or bootie.

Mini skirts can be casual with a cotton tank/tee or dressy with a blouse and heels.

Column Skirt

I love a good column skirt! Here's why, the cut is straight from the hip which makes for a long silhouette. Whether you're petite or tall a long line on the body is flattering.

It's a nice break from aline or tiered long skirts. The lack of volume is sleek and polished.

This one also sits high on the waist (key for shape & making you look tall) and is full of color!! It's like a yellow bouquet.

You could pair with a neutral like a crisp white button up, or denim or a complimentary color like I did.

Grab a little rattan bag (mine is vintage) and your sunnies and strut out this summer in a column skirt!

Dressing in Sunshine

Yesterday was a very stormy day here. Thank goodness we didn't have any damage or power loss but it did look like I could canoe through the yards in our neighborhood.

Today, the sunshine after the storm was such a delight and reminder of so much good.

You can add sunshine to your outfits and quite literally brighten your day with a rich golden yellow.

I whole heartedly believe in the power of dressing. It builds confidence and wearing this bright color, how could you not be happy?!!

I have loved jackets for my entire adult life, particularly lady jackets in a very structured short design. It fits my frame and is very feminine.

I paired this wool jacket with an animal printed short skirt and tights.

I kept the rest of my outfit neutral but I find French blue, lavender and pinks are all pretty pairing options.

Tip: I like to contrast saturated colors with pastels.

If you wanted to be more casual, add jeans with your jacket. Lights wash or a wide leg trouser cut are chic options.

Friday Favorites: All Yellow

Good Friday! What a significant day it is, the day we remember Jesus dying on a cross four our sins. A punishment we deserve and he paid so that we can be washed clean and have eternal life.

At times that is so overwhelming for me to comprehend as I am drowning in unworthiness.

Gals, today I encourage you to go to Him in prayer thanking Him, loving Him and seeking how you can glorify Him!

Yellow is a color that's capable of charming, cheering and warming us with happiness just like the sun.

I must say, I've never given yellow any attention when it comes to my wardrobe or my home design. I disregarded it as uncomplimentary to my hair and skin tone. I know that's silly, at least that's what I'd tell you if you said it to me. Don't create limits when it comes to colors, you'll miss out on some really pretty style. Now, I will say pastel, light and bright shades of yellow are the ones that light me up the most.

Here are some yellow pieces that will have you looking golden ...

Friday Favorites: Sunny Side

TGIF! Gals, I believe it's true that if we keep on the sunny side it will help us every day to stay bright.

Also, dressing yourself in a pretty yellow can also make you feel as good as gold despite whatever the day may bring (it's safe to say we've been given some crazy challenges this year).

Yellow can often be an intimidating color to wear. This saturated jewel tone (think of a peacock feather) is rich and warm so it compliments all skin and hair colors. It's referred to as honey, marigold, ocher, mustard, saffron, gold and sunflower. It one of the pretties colors for Fall and I don't know about you but I'm ready to embrace a new cooler season.

Here are 20 pieces in this sunny shade ...

Sunflower Dress

also in navy

I added this belt for a more structured shape and my favorite, most worn shoes this summer, these espadrilles. When it actually does cool off a pair of botties and denim jacket will pair perfectly.
