Barbara High Rise curated on LTK

teddybearsandlipstick

Last year I spent way too much on Black Friday, buying into the hype that I needed “more”. This year I haven’t spent a dime. I’m learning the true meaning of being content. I’m realizing that I don’t want to waste my life and there’s certainly much more to it than clothes. And while I did link my outfit details below, (I will always Love a good outfit and don’t think there is anything wrong with wanting to look good) I just want to encourage you - this season is about so much more than shopping and gifts. This LIFE is about so much more! 😘 http://liketk.it/2tB7C #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Hey friends! I know it’s been awhile so I thought I’d pop in and say hi. I haven’t stopped thinking about you, my readers and followers. I’ve been working to get better and make Teddy Bears and Lipstick better. There’s a blog post in the works going into more depth about my break. Stay tuned! xo
http://liketk.it/2tna8 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

It's time to reevaluate, to take a step back. In this social media saturated society, it is way too easy to compare yourself. To be dissatisfied with yourself, your clothes, looks, house.. you name it. That's not a place I want to be in, and not a place I want anyone to be in. So, I'm taking a step back and taking a break. A leave of absence. Feel free to continue to engage and I'll be back before you know it. And remember, don't be afraid to be yourself. You're so much more than the clothes you wear or the house you love in. You're beautiful just the way you are, because that is exactly how God made you. xoxo

My look for #nyfw day two, at the @nysdesign show. Absolutely stunning pieces by these designers, incredible talent! Check out my stories for some of the looks. // How pretty are these embroidered boyfriend jeans?? I love them paired with sock booties!

Headed to New York for #nyfw on Wednesday and I'm so excited! (And a little nervous 😂) it's been a dream to see NYC and a dream to go to fashion week, it's almost surreal! Any tips for a newbie? // On another note, this is one of my favorite looks and it is a summer go to! I love wearing dresses in the summer since it gets so hot, but want to be comfortable and casual, too! Sneakers and a dress make the perfect summer outfit for a busy, stylish mama!

I can not believe it is the end of August. As a new month and season are upon us, I try to reflect back on what I've done. Have I accomplished any goals? Taken steps to get closer? Have I had personal growth? And what are my goals continuing forward? Life is passing by so quickly, we're told it is only but a vapor. I want to make mine count.

We've been having car troubles this week, which can feel like the end of the world! But then I think of all those people in Texas who have lost everything, or who are in fear of losing everything, or definitely puts it into perspective. No matter what comes our way, good or bad, my heart must remain thankful and steadfast in Christ. Apart from prayer, what are some practical ways we can help those in Texas? I've donated money but wish I could do more! Hoping to send off a box of donated clothes and other goods. If you've got ideas, leave them in the comments! // shop my look here ➡️ http://liketk.it/2syCd #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I love a rose gold piece and those @timex watch is no exception!

This faux leather skirt gives me all the heart eyes! It is definitely a dressier piece, but I say there's nothing wrong with that! Just because I'm a mom doesn't mean I can't rock an outfit like this, and the same goes for you! I dressed it down a bit by pairing it with a t shirt and simple ankle boots.
Shop the skirt by heading to the shop tab at teddybearsandlipstick.com. Or download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app and search for me, then click on the photo for the shoppable links!

Off the shoulder blouses are perfect for date night! They make me feel fancy 💃🏻 and I don't have to worry about any little kids to pick up. (Which we all know off the shoulder is not practical for that!)

A good pair of denim is vital for a mom's wardrobe. A pair that you just love wearing, that's comfortable without sacrificing style and fit. A pair of denim that looks good with anything and makes you feel good. It's one of those things I will always tell people to invest in. There's just nothing like a good pair of denim. As mom's we're allowed to be stylish while still being comfortable. Start with a good pair of denim. // I've linked my absolute favorite pair of all time, plus two of my new favorites! All of them are soft and comfortable.
http://liketk.it/2svZu #liketkit @liketoknow.it

A classic white tee is one of my favorite things to style. They're so clean and I love that they make colors pop more than black does. For me, a t shirt is one of those pieces I have lots of. It's one of those pieces I reach for almost daily. They're just something so easy and comfortable about them. How do you like to style a tee?

Ankle booties are my absolute favorite thing to wear! They are a super good shoe option for mom life. Comfortable yet chic. They add a fun detail to your look, and can easily dress it up or keep it casual. So of course I had to include it in my #tbl_stylechallenge. These are my favorites of all the pairs I own, and I can't wait for fall so I can wear them more. I've linked these and some of my other current favorite options!
http://liketk.it/2suqT #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Sneakers are one of the most comfortable shoes to wear, and thanks to all the cute styles, they are completely acceptable as a stylish part of your outfit. My newest blog post is all about styling sneakers and it was also yesterdays #tbl_stylechallenge. Head to the blog to see how to style sneakers and for more of this look

Needless to say, I'm exhausted and going to bed and I apologize for the lack of content and this late hour ✌🏻 Have a good night! 😘

As mom's it's easy for us to get stuck in a denim and sneakers rut! And why not? It's the most practical look when you're busy being a mom. But, today I wanted to challenge you guys to step out of that. To maybe get a little dressier, or just something different! // Today was CRAZY and the first day of the #tbl_stylechallenge that I didn't get a picture of my actual outfit 😭 but I promise I participated 😘 I wore a burgundy button dress with an olive cargo vest and new favorite heeled sandals from @current_boutique. Buuut we got home from church and then my husband left to hang with some friends and I had to change and rush off because I successfully threw him a surprise party for his birthday! Whoop whoop! So, here's another 'anything but denim' look for you guys. Sorry for slacking today! ♥️🙏🏻
http://liketk.it/2snGZ #liketkit @liketoknow.it

This scarf is my "oldie but goodie" piece. It's so soft and I love the colors. I love how it looks with a plain white tee and denim.
#tbl_stylechallenge day 12

http://liketk.it/2smCa #liketkit @liketoknow.it

#tbl_stylechallenge day 11 is 'Get out of your zone'. You may or may not know that every month I write a Fearless Friday post where I Style a piece that I've been afraid to try! I wanted you guys to do the same and coordinated the style challenge day to go along with my post for the month. My piece for this month was a denim pinafore (overall dress). You can read my thoughts on the trend tomorrow morning, but we were so enamored with our ice cream we didn't get too many outfit shots! Oops! But, I'm definitely stepping out of my zone by sharing this pic! That face 🙈 SODE NOTE : I think I am going to start sharing my #tbl_stylechallenge posts the night before, that way you can see the inspiration before you get dressed in the morning (since I'm so bad at sharing them early in the am!) What do you guys think??

Do you love pink? Hate it? I want to encourage you to new things, step out of that zone. As you can see, it doesn't mean you have to wear a fully pink outfit! Just grab a bag or some earrings or even nail polish to add a touch of pink to your look!Blush is actually a very versatile color that goes with just about everything. My Something Pink for the #tbl_stylechallenge! This bag is my absolute favorite and I'm sure you e seen it before if you've been following me 😉 it's that good! I've linked the bag and some of my other favorite pink things! http://liketk.it/2sl3s #liketkit @liketoknow.it
(Side not : today's challenge was supposed to be "pretty in pink" but apparently I messed up that text on the photo 🙄 anyways. Carry on!) Show me your pink!!

In case you missed it, I'm helping those working moms with some work wear tips and inspiration on the blog! I don't want to leave out my working moms - you are amazing. Head to the blog to check it out.

This girl is my mini me. She is full of spunk and life. She is all girl yet tougher than any boy her age! She can hold her own and has no fear. She asks me daily to paint her fingernails and yet won't hesitate to "kill those bugs"! I adore her so much and am so grateful God blessed me with her! //
Match Your Mini - #tbl_stylechallenge day 6! Caeris and I have never matched before, we don't have any pieces that are the "same". But that's okay, I knew I could still make it work! Striped peplums and pops of pink are how we rolled for church today. She was so excited to match mommy and take a picture! I guess we're going to have to do this more often ♥️
http://liketk.it/2siJC #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Just had to show you the full look of this top, it's so pretty and I'm obsessed 😍 I got it from @evereveofficial , my newest obsession. They're a boutique founded by a mom, with a heart for styling mom's! I just love that I found a company that matches my heart ♥️

Gingham is the print of summer this year and I'm okay with that! It can be easy to just stick to neutrals and easy pieces so I wanted to encourage you guys to pull out a print. Also how pretty are these velvet flats?? They're part of the #nordstromanniversarysale so tomorrow is the last day to get them at the sale price of $80! My top is the cutest and comes from @evereve. If you're in the Denver area stop into the cherry creek store and I'll help you style it! 😉
http://liketk.it/2si33#liketkit @liketoknow.it

I love pieces that can be layered because you can create so many different looks! That's why #tbl_stylechallenge Day 4 is Loving Layers! Show me how you like to layer for summer, or go for a fall inspired look!
