DRESSING TO LOOK LONG AND LEAN

Hello from North Myrtle Beach! It is much nicer weather here than it was back home in Virginia. I am glad that we didn’t come for the view, though, because they are working on the building right outside our room. If I look “through” the scaffolding, then I can see the ocean. Lol! I can’t imagine how much upkeep it takes to keep a building this size clean, painted, rust-free, etc. It takes a lot of people and a lot of money to keep the building looking beautiful, and I am glad that they do the work during the winter.
Joe did go and hit a few golf balls yesterday afternoon, and he had a game lined up for today. I spent yesterday filming a try-on haul from the Trunk Club, and today I plan on going to the outlets to do some shopping. Honestly, I can’t think of anything that I am needing, but I hate to pass up getting to go shopping since I have so few opportunities to do it in person. The time crunch has set in for those of you who have not gotten all of their Christmas shopping done. See me over here with my hand raised? It depends on each store, but be sure to check out the shipping policies before you place any orders if you need it before Christmas. It would be a shame if you were waiting on something and it didn’t make it in time.
This tea-stained t-shirt is so cute for Christmas. The faded vintage style of the t-shirt is what caught my eye, and I thought it looked like something that you would see me wearing. I bought the last shirt that was in stock at a local boutique in town, so I debated not even showing it to you since it isn’t available for purchase. I found this same print on a sweatshirt and a different t-shirt, so I will show you those instead. They are cute too; they are not the vintage tea-stained look.

I am going to sound like a broke-record because the BELIEVE necklace that I am wearing isn’t available for purchase either. 🙁  This was a “special” purchase from Plunder, and by the time that I received it, the dang thing had already sold out. There is still a pretty rhinestone bow (here) that is under the specials tab if you want something with some bling. My earrings, however, are available for purchase!!! These are a pair of Kendra Scott earrings that I got in my recent Trunk Club shipment, and I already love these. I have worn them several times already, and I just got them a couple of days ago. I have a link that you can click on to get 20% off, or at least that is what I was told, let me know if it works. HERE is the link. And, below are the three earrings that I recently purchased.

I wear these Kut From The Kloth flare jeans a lot. They fit me perfectly, and the flare is not huge. I don’t think that the flare is too much bigger than a boot cut, but the description says flare, so I am going with that. Ever since I bought my first pair of Kut From The Kloth jeans, I have been hooked. These jeans are premium denim, affordably priced, and the fit is great. I am wearing my usual size 10 for sizing reference. Here is the link to the jeans. While I haven’t had these ankle boots very long, they have quickly become my go-to boot of choice this winter. I love how these fit, and I love the deep rich color. I didn’t get a good photo of the top of the booties, and that is what sets them apart from all the rest. Here is a post where I wore them, and you can see them better. I sized up half a size and ordered a 9.5 instead of my usual size 9. The color that I am wearing is called Whiskey, but these boots come in three other colors. Here is the link to the boots.
I have had this long black cardigan for many years. I love a longer length cardigan because I think that they are flattering. They hide how WIDE I am, and instead, they draw your eye inward to create a smaller look. Also, since this is long and black, it creates height, making you look taller. I’ll call this my “long and lean” cardigan. LOL!

If you are interested in the Trunk Club, it is a subscription service from Nordstrom. You decide the price range, the style, and a stylist will pick out a trunk for you to try in the privacy of your home. You only pay for what you keep, so it’s up to you! There is no fee to sign up. Each Trunk has a $25 styling fee (waived for Nordstrom cardmembers) that’s credited toward your final purchase. If this sounds like something that you are interested in, then here is my link for you to join.
