Happy Tuesday! I hope you have a wonderful day. I am sharing some of my favorite white and chambray looks above. That belted denim jacket is a favorite of mine. I also love a classic white button down shirt like the one above.
In case you missed it over the weekend, I shared some great spring sandals and shoes that are under $35 - and some leopard espadrilles $20.
Clear sandals are definitely a big trend this season (along with clear bags). I love how clear sandals - can easily be worn with so many things. They are the shoe that seems to match anything.
And, the crochet bagsof the 70s have made a comeback.
Thank you for all your kind words yesterday about my hair.
This experience has been a reminder about listening and taking the time for people. I think we live in a rushed world today - very distracted - and possibly not paying attention to what others are saying. We need to stop - and listen. Pay attention to others. If someone takes the time to talk to you - look at them - and hear them. I think they stylist was distracted - and thinking about her own things - and not paying attention to me.
We need to be present with those around us. This is so important - especially with our family and those we love. Five years ago today, I got a voicemail at work from a nurse at the hospital about my dad - that would change my life.
Out of the blue - without any warning - I received this message...
"Lisa, this is the nursing supervisor at the neuro ICU at the hospital. If you could please call me back. Your dad has been admitted to the ICU and we are trying to get in touch with you."
When I got this message - my first thought was - they have the wrong person. But they did have the right person - my dad was in a coma - never to regain consciousness - and died four days later.
We don't know the last time we will talk to someone - or hear their voice - so take time... pay attention...
I hope you had a great weekend - and wonderful Easter.
Our temps are supposed to be in the 70s today - so it is time to start thinking of different ways to wear white jeans this spring. If you are looking for a cognac/brown crossbody bucket bag like the one above - I found this one for only $35.
On another note, have you ever gotten a bad haircut? I have not gotten my hair cut in over a year because I got a really bad one last year - and I felt miserable about myself. My bangs were so short and the rest was wonky and not matched - it was a mess! Needless to say, I have been scared to get my hair cut again; however, it was time for a trim, so I went to someone that had been recommended. I loved her cut (and she said her whole family went to this stylist), so I thought it would be a great experience. My hair had grown out over this past year to probably the longest it had ever been. Since it was so long - there were endless possibilities with a new cut. I wanted my hair to look like this. I shared the picture with the stylist - and we discussed the overall length and shape of the bangs. Long story short - it turned out nothing like it. Instead of taking only 2 inches off my hair - she took off more than 6 inches. My hair is more like shoulder length 80s bowl/shag cut. I am so sick. It is only hair - and it will grow back in about a year - but I cannot believe it! Two bad cuts in a row. I am headed to my stylist that does my color - and hopefully she can fix it up for me. She came to the rescue before! So, here's to another year of growing out my hair... SHOP A SIMILAR LOOK
On this Easter Sunday, I share with you a prayer from my favorite Pastor and his Easter devotional. You can read the entire devotion HERE.
"Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Son and for the eternal life He purchased on my behalf at Calvary. If I ever doubt Your love for me, help me remember that You spared nothing—not even Jesus—to make a way for me to be with You forever. Help me live in the light of the gospel, dead to sin and raised to new life with Christ. And with that new life, use me as Your ambassador to share the good news of salvation with others. Amen."
The Rachel Parcell collection at Nordstrom has some beautiful dresses and skirt for Easter. Here are a few pretty pink picks from her latest collection. I know a lot of the items sold out on Nordstrom site - but I found some of the dresses (brand new) on ebay.
A main reason I started this blog was to be able to share with everyone all the great deals that I find. I wanted to share my excitement of shopping with everyone!
One of the ways I am trying to share this excitement of finding great sales and deals is by posting exclusive content to the LIKEtoKNOW.it app.
Here is how you can follow along with me - and shop all the daily finds through LIKEtoKNOW.it
Camo has been a trend for a few seasons now. I thought it would be more trendy - and go away - but I have a feeling it is still as strong today - as it was when it first showed up. I have styled a few different ways to wear camo. For me, I am not a big "print" person - but I do love camo. I bought a camo puffer jacket this winter - and I love wearing it.
Also, talking about trends - florals are really big this season. And, I have found some great floral deals. I found this floral scarf that is only $5 - and you could use as a hair accessory or tie around your bag. I also found this pretty pink floral off the shoulder maxi dress - that would be great for a spring/summer vacation - and it's only $25. 15 WARDROBE STAPLES TO BUY ON SALE
This is still one of my favorite outfit guides that I put together. I love the blush, white and grey.
You can see all 15 outfit ideas HERE.
There is a big "Friends & Family" sale at LOFT happening right now - with 40% off everything! There are a lot of great new arrivals - like this floral cardigan that is 40% off. This popular snake print blouse and cami - are also on sale! I want to buy these jeans - I have been waiting for them to go on sale.
I hope you had a great weekend! I enjoyed watching the Masters (golf) yesterday. Anyone else? And, I watched two movies - A Star is Born and Second Act. Honestly, I did not really enjoy A Start is Born. Everyone seemed to love it - but I was bored from the beginning - and I just did not enjoy it. Second Act was predictable - but a feel good - fun movie.
As far as the spring outfits above - I actually styled four years ago! I have found as similar of items I could (if the item was no longer available). But with coral being one of the colors of the year - and spring weather - I liked the combo of white jeans, grey tee and coral.
There are so many great sales happening right now. Old Navy has all of its dresses on sale for 50% off. You can get this cute floral sundress for only $12 - and it would look great layered with a denim jacket. My favorite spring sweater is on sale for $13.
This is a big day! The Rachel Parcell collection at Nordstrom is live to shop. There are so many beautiful dresses for spring and Easter. I have picked out a few of my favorites. I love the white lace dress and the yellow smocked waist dress. They are selling out quickly - so if you like them, act fast - and order multiple sizes if unsure. As usual, Nordstrom offers free shipping both ways - so there is no risk in trying them. I have followed Rachel for years - and it is proof of having a dream - and pursing it - and believing that you can do what you have the drive to do.
Today, also starts the big spring sale at Shopbop - almost the entire site is up to 25% off, with a few exceptions. My FAVORITE white jeans are on sale. I have tried so many white jeans - and these are by far the best in my opinion. They are flattering and not too thin. There is nothing worse than "thin" white jeans. I have also picked out a lot of great items - some of which are already on sale, plus an additional savings. The sale ends in two days - so shop now - for the best selection.
