Here are some of my favorites from Summer 2024

Do you ever have those days when you’re feeling puffy?
We just got back from a trip and spent the day before driving 7 hours home.
I didn’t get to fit in a workout and eating at drive-thru restaurants definitely was a contributing factor!
Geometric prints can help camouflage the tummy when you’re feeling kind of puffy.
The bootcut jeans also even out my legs and give them a longer appearance.
This outfit will keep me in a decent mood while I detox from the junk I ate yesterday!

I suffer from plantar fasciitis and it can really hinder your tennis game!
These Adidas Barricade Court Shoes have done wonders and got me back in the game.
A great price on these quality shoes.
I usually buy two pair in different colors and switch between them when I play.
Great for pickleball too!

All white at Wimbledon!
Loved the Womens match and the attitudes of the players!
This skirt with the pleats brings a classic look to the courts.

#LTKFitness #LTKActive #LTKMidsize

$Wimbledon has me wanting new tennis gear! This skirt is very similar to a popular brand at a fraction of the cost. It comes in a variety of colors and has the right amount of coverage without being matronly #LTKMidsize #LTKFitness #LTKActive$

I’m always on the lookout for clothing that balances my body shape and accentuates my curves.
These flared jeans paired with this ruched top gives my body balance and hides flaws.
The best part is, I feel great and comfortable in theses clothes!

Loving the bright blues on a bright and sunny day!
I also love these transition glasses for outdoor and indoor ease of use!
This top is cool and colorful in this Tennessee heat and can be pared with strappy wedge heals, sneakers or flats.

Lost Baggage can be a nightmare.
We just experienced it in Europe when my husband’s bag was missing for a week!
We had to spend time we set aside for our vacation to shop for new clothes and track down his bag.
I have vowed from now on to be carry-on only!
I heard about merino wool being a great choice for travel so I had to check it out.
These pieces are lightweight, wrinkle & odor resistant, fold easily and can be dressy or casual!
Merino wool is also great for wicking away sweat and keeping you warm on cool days!
I can’t wait to try more pieces!

A great two piece swimsuit that has coverage and support!
This suit is great for active outdoor water sports.
It stays in place while swimming laps, paddle boarding and boating.
I love the variety of suits available for whatever people enjoy while in the water!

A joy of midlife is wearing what makes you feel good without caring if you have dents in your thighs and rolls on your tummy.
I love how younger women and girls are embracing this as well!
In fact, seeing the younger people having joy in their body confidence has led me to feel the same.
This bikini gives me the coverage on the body and the support on the top.
The ruffles balance out with the hips.
Wear what makes you feel great!

Bootcut jeans are back and me and my hips are here for it!
These Liverpool Bootcuts feel great!
I got the blouse from Stitch Fix. It’s by Pink Clover.
My jewelry is by Julie Vos who is one of my favorite jewelers

#LTKOver40 #LTKStyleTip #LTKMidsize

Everyday outfit that feels great and will work well with layers.
This blouse has a flattering v-neck but it’s not too low cut.
It also has a great feature around the back to gather the material.
These boot cut jeans flatter my hips by balancing my legs.
A great go to for running errands and a lunch with friends

#LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize #LTKStyleTip

Wide leg pants on a short body?
I wasn’t sure how I would feel about these jeans, but tucking in the blouse made all the difference!
Pairing them with a stylish comfortable heel added to the appeal.
Adding a belt will complete the look.

On our Greek Isles Cruise and ready for an excursion to Ephesus, Turkey.
Keeping my personal belongings close in this scarf and keeping cool in this outfit!
The scarf can cover my shoulders in churches and the long pants cover my legs for church entry too.
I meant to say 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 25 degrees Celsius today.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKOver40 #LTKTravel

My husband and I are headed to Greece for a Greek Isles Cruise.
As I was packing, I realized I would like some cooler outfits and found some at Dillards!
These dressing room try-ons made it home with me.
These sets are so comfortable and can easily be mixed and matched!
The sets are wrinkle resistant (but not the linen pink blouse, however, I need to cover my shoulders in church tours).
Som happy to have found them!
I loved the white so much, I had to get the black set too!

Sun Dress Days ahead!
I’m usually hesitant to buy a sundress with smaller straps because I am busty.
Thanks to a great strapless bra from BraTenders NYC, I can confidently wear this sundress!
I love the colors and lightweight feel.
If I get chilly as the sun goes down, I can throw a jacket over it and warm-up!

#LTKmidsize #LTKSeasonal #LTKstyletip

A great colorful blouse for summer paired with these cuffed denim crops are great for sunny days!
I paired these with my “tennis ball” slides but they will also work great with Sandler or kicks!

#LTKover40 #LTKSeasonal #LTKmidsize

This sweater tee is a great top for the changing of the seasons from spring to summer!
This color just sold out but a green & white option is available!
My boot cut jeans and gold boots give this outfit a fun kick!
