Recently, i’ve been trying to incorporate more basics into my wardrobe and allowing them to be the staple piece in my outfits. For example, below, I styled a $15 white top, four different ways. Since i’m all about *fun outfits*, I notice myself only purchasing pieces that are over the top and exciting, and forgetting to pick up basics like a white shirt. Because of this, I just stocked up on about 10 basics (white, black, grey shirts, a pair of jeans, etc.) and have noticed how much easier outfits have been to create. With a few simple accessory changes, you can make your true & tried basics look distinctly different, time and time again.
Next time you feel like you have nothing to wear, I challenge you to grab a basic top or bottom (a t shirt, tank top, jeans – using something plain works well), and seeing how many outfit combinations you can create with it. I promise there will be more than you think! Check out the looks below & let me know your favorite!
I can’t believe my toddler actually cooperated and is down for his nap. The odds are never in my favor, and I typically only get him to sleep 1 out of 5 attempts. I’m almost done writing my next travel blog post, but I thought I’d get a quick recap up before it turns into a 3-week recap next time.

We just returned from a chilly walk. Bugs is napping, I have my coffee, and the fireplace is turned on. It’s the perfect opportunity to put my workout and chores on the back burner and sit down to catch you all up on life. These recaps are more of a monthly thing these days, but at least we’re doing them! I’ve been having so much fun cooking new things, baking sourdough bread, hitting fitness goals, organizing, and spending all the time I can with my son. In a month and a half, he’ll be one. This year has flown by quickly; every minute with him is important to me. Time truly is a thief.

I hope you’re all staying warm during these January temps. We expect our first snowstorm in the South this weekend, and I am so excited! This will be Tux’s first time playing in the snow, and I can’t wait to see it. Before I log off for the weekend, I wanted to share my wedding photos from our outdoor ceremony at The Greystone Inn in Lake Toxaway! I have always dreamed of an outdoor wedding. Being obsessed with greenery and flowers, it couldn’t be more fitting. I was a little nervous since it had been raining all day, but just a half-hour before walking down the aisle, it stopped raining, and while Kyle and I were exchanging vows, rays of sunshine came poking through the trees. It felt so magical.

So, you’ve seen Shein.com ads all over the internet, and thought they were too good to be true…right? They have so many envy worth items, dupes from designer brands, and trendy pieces, for affordable prices. When I first saw Shein, I thought “there’s no way this isn’t a scam”.
