Invested

White jeansI’m “invested” in getting the most out of my wardrobe, and turned one of my favorite dresses into a vest. This clearance purchase from last year has been one of the most versatile in my wardrobe.  I’m looking forward to wearing it as a dress or cover-up this summer!  Here are some previous ways I’ve worn this chameleon chambray piece.

Where you invest your love, you invest your life.

 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.  Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.  And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”  Colossians 3:12-14

Manicure Monday – In the Garden

Garden Manicure

Spring is all about being outdoors, enjoying the longer days, and letting our toes out!  Which means cute pedicures and coordinating manicures!!  I love how my friend, Heather, expressed her personal style with this Spring combo.  And proof that these nail wraps can last, just check out her gardening hands!

There are key pieces to a wardrobe that can transcend the trends of time.  One of those key pieces is the denim jacket.  If I had to pick a few articles of clothing that were a “must have”, this would be one.  Another transitional garment is the black t-shirt dress.  Worn alone with sandals, layered here with skinnies, this basic dress can be a perfect packing item when you want various looks with minimum articles to pack.  Third, is the skinny jean.  Now this jean cut doesn’t seem to be heading out any time soon, as we see jeggings of the sort in all stores.  It is my go-to pant when heading out the door just out of sheer comfort and versatility.

When these pieces are all worn together it may just seem a tad boring or well, basic.  Add your personal touch with your favorite bootie or hat, signature jewels, plus that customized manicure and you’ve got a style you can call your own!  So all this to say, while basic may be basic…these pieces stand through the timelines, unclutter the closet, and serve as the backdrop to your creative styling!

I must also mention that Jamberry loves to support charities such as the American Red Cross with the Heart Health Awareness mixed manicure worn by celebrities during New York Fashion week for the Red Dress event.  This design will be gone May 1st.

This month, there is a new Autism Awareness design added since April is Autism Awareness Month.  Support this charity by purchasing this mixed mani for you and the matching Junior design for your daughter!  Jamberry donates $2 for every charity wrap sold to Autism Society of American and the American Heart Association respectively.
