First Day Back
23 Jul
The first day back from vacation is always a little rough, isn’t it? So, to ease my transition back to the working world, how about a little tour of what I actually wore during my southwest Michigan vacation.
You may remember I packed quite a few options and that I have a lot of fun things in my closet to choose from. So, what did I end up wearing out of all of that?
Here’s a sampling:
Top – Old Navy | Shorts – Ann Taylor | Belt – Target | Necklace – The Limited | Shoes – Old Navy
Jeans – AG Goldschmied via Bloomingdale’s | Top – The Limited | Necklace – NY & Co | Shoes – TJ Maxx
Striped Tank – Dots | Black Tank – The Limited | Shorts – The Limited | Necklace – NY & Co | Shoes – Old Navy
Tank – Target | Shorts – Old Navy | Shoes – Nine West | Necklace – Accessory Palace in NYC
Top – Old Navy | Jeans – AG Goldschmied | Shoes – Nine West | Earrings – Macy’s
Guest appearances by my niece and nephew!
Dress – NY & Co | Necklace – NY & Co | Sandals – TJ Maxx
In all honesty, I could have gotten away with way fewer clothes. There were many days when I didn’t change out of my swimsuit until just before dinner!
All in all, I had a fabulous vacation. A house on the beach, great weather, wonderful food, and a good book (or two). What more could you ask for?



A reader recently contacted me and asked for help with a pair of ankle boots she just bought.
Right now I’m pretty happy with my closet. But even so there are days when I stand there and stare at all the hangers and think, “I wish I had….”
I’ve had all of these clothing pieces in my closet for a long time. I keep wavering on whether or not to keep the cardigan and then it keeps staying.
Pairing the fancy sequined skirt with a neutral colored cardigan and nude heels helps keep it from being too bling-y or overwhelming.
The fact that I paired two pieces that could be considered slightly casual but added heels and a blazer makes my outfit work appropriate without being traditional.




Stylish and comfortable!
That’s my vacation mandate
love all of your vacation outfits! I am pretty good about not overpacking, but I still end up with an extra outfit or so…typically because I shop while on vacation and get so excited about my new stuff that I want to wear it immediately. lol. Hope your vacay was fab!
