SALE ALERT! These satin pants from Loft are only $30 right now and they come in a variety of colors. I’m wearing an XL and they are a roomie fit for a size 16. They have them up to XXL. Pairing them with this comfy Ralph Lauren bear sweater makes a warm and fun outfit for winter

I love fun colors and patterns, especially at Christmas time. So this plaid skirt and jacket set is perfect for so many upcoming holiday parties. To tone it down a bit for a date night or brunch, I can just wear a solid color shirt without the jacket or pair the jacket with jeans for a super casual Christmas party look. It seems to fit true to size, I’m wearing a 16 in the skirt and XL in the jacket. Best of all…the whole outfit is less than $75!

I’m off to play Mahjong! I feel like my outfit needed to match the game aesthetic so this green in green combo is giving that right level of southern preppy! This linen shorts are so comfortable that I now own them in blue and green. I’m a size 16 and the top is an XXL and the shorts are an XL. I finished off the look with my favorite sandals! #preppy #southernstyle #mahjong

It’s surprising chilly here in Kentucky for Memorial weekend. We can usually hit the pool about now but instead, I’m slipping on a light cardigan! #springoutfit #vacationoutfit #coastalgrandmother #nancymeyers

It’s patio season! I just freshened up our front patio to enjoy outdoor lounging. I love coming out here especially on Sunday afternoons to read or plan meals for the upcoming week. #outdoorliving #patio #outdoordecor #outdoorfurniture

I just got my first Parallelle makeup bag! I got the small since I don’t pack a lot of make-up when I travel and it was the perfect size to hold my make-up and my skincare. I love how it stands open so you can use your products right out of the bag. #travelbag #toiletrybag #makeupbag

Anyone else addicted to American Mahjong? I learned to play recently from a club here in town and now I want my own Mahjong set to make all of my friends play! What a perfect theme for a party this summer. Afternoons filled with tiles and bubbly! #mahjong #partyideas

#LTKHome #LTKGiftGuide

I just got these denim joggers from Judy Blue and they are so comfortable and the perfect stretchy material. They aren’t too thick either so they are perfect for a spring or summer outfit! I’ll probably get them in a darker wash to wear as a travel outfit. #judyblue #springoutfit #vacationoutfit

We want to spend our summer curating our inner coastal grandmother. Let’s make some jam from the fruit we get at the farmers’ market and needlepoint that pillow during an afternoon thunderstorm. It’s relaxing, it’s timeless. Angela Lansbury would be proud! #coastalgrandmother #nancymeyers #homedecor #coastaldecor

This summer outfit… I’m loving. I’ve paired my favorite shirt in white with these raisin linen pants. They are both flowy and comfortable. I’m wearing an XL in the pants and I’m usually a 16/18. This is a great outfit for running errands, a trip to the farmer’s market or out to brunch! #summeroutfit #sandals #linen #luxurybag #samedelman #summer-hat #vacationoutfit#LTKxMadewell #linenpants

I don’t normally do a lot of spring decorating but I’m hosting Easter dinner this year so I decided I should up my tables along game! I went with some classic southern color choices with the green and blue. And why not throw some cute bunnies in there? #easter #tablescape #springdecor #springfinds

Since being in perimenopause, my skin has changed from super oily to dry! I had to change up my whole skincare routine and I wanted to start wearing a bit of make-up without it being too heavy. Enter my teen and her suggestions of La Roche-Posay and Typology! The change in my skin is amazing! #skincare #makeup #genx #menopause #over50

I can’t live my best Nancy Meyers inspired life without a good straw tote! These are on my wishlist right now and I’m trying to decide which to buy for my spring and summer travel and shopping trips! #springfashion #strawtotes #strawbags #totebag #beachtrip

I turn 50 this year and to celebrate, I treated myself to these fabulous mules! The patches on top are actually detachable so I can wear them plain as well. I will be packing these to wear on my celebratory river cruise in the fall! #shoelove #genx #shoestyle #partyoutfit

I’m starting to pick out what I’m going to pack fro spring break! This linen shirt and wide-legged linen pants are perfect for my Southern California trip. I also like the size of my new crossbody Longchamp straw purse. #vacationoutfit #strawpurse #summerpurse #linen #springoutfit #springfashion

Hurry! This denim shirt is on sale and it’s the perfect staple for those spring outfits. It’s a nice weight, and is longer in the back so would work well with leggings!

I’m wearing an XL and it’s plenty roomy. #denimshirt #springoutfit #nancymeyers #inagarten

I keep reaching for this shirt. So much so, I’ve ordered it in white and can’t wait for it to arrive. And…I’m thinking of getting it in the blue-stripe as well so I can live out my Nancy Meyer farmer’s market shopping dreams. I paired it today with these flowy pants and my new straw-look tote!

The pants are an XL and the shirt is an XXL. I’m usually a 16/18 #springfashion #nancymeyers #inagarten #genxstyle #coastalgrandma #vacationoutfit

I feel spring! The sunshine here is starting to warm up and it will be time to stow wool blankets until fall. Now, let’s settle in to read some travel books for upcoming trip inspiration! #academia #library #livingroom #chesterfield #ltkhome #ralphlauren

Here in Kentucky, we spend weekends going on bourbon distillery tours! I layered up with my new Barbour jacket since spring isn’t really here quite yet. The shirt I’m wearing is so soft and lightweight, a perfect piece to transition into spring and on to cooler summer evenings. #barbourjacket #springoutfit #countryclub

#LTKMidsize #LTKOver40 #LTKPlusSize

SALE ALERT! This Ralph Lauren equestrian dress is only $64 right now! It’s perfect for spring because you can roll the sleeves up or leave them down if it’s a bit chillier. This is very comfortable and perfect for wearing to the office. #workoutfit #officeoutfit #ralphlauren #plussizedress #equestrian

#LTKPlusSize #LTKWorkwear #LTKSaleAlert

My first piece from Tuckernuck…this statement smoking jacket! It makes such a statement I’ve kept jewelry and accessories very neutral and minimal. Where am I going? On a Costco run! This would look chic as a date night outfit paired with black cigarette pants and a black top underneath.

I am a 16/18 and this is an XL. It’s supposed to be a roomy fit so up to a 20 could easily wear it unless you are super busty. I’m a D-cup. #smokingjacket #tuckernuckstyle #datenight

#LTKPlusSize #LTKOver40

SALE ALERT! I can’t resist a toile pattern and when you make it green, on a dress….This is a great dress for spring because it has a longer sleeve but is still lightweight. #toile #springdress #brunchstyle

#LTKOver40 #LTKPlusSize #LTKFindsUnder50

This lightweight dress was a great travel outfit pick for the beach. It folded easily into my suitcase and worked well for a day of shopping and dinner that evening. #plussizedress #amazonfinds #beachdress #summerdress #resortwear #springbreakoutfit

Clark’s has released some of their original shoe designs and as soon as I saw this pair of Wallabee in this light blue crocodile…I clicked “add to cart”! They are so comfortable and I love the pattern and color. These are a great shoe for travel and for spring
