Hey Fashionistas, if you've noticed I haven't had a lot of fashion posts lately, you are correct! I used to do about eight fashion posts a month, but then when Covid hit, I found I didn't need so many clothes anymore as I wasn't doing much outside the home. So then I cut my fashion posts down to two a month and those two posts were fashion challenges that I did with other blogging groups on social media. Well the past month and a half, those two groups either picked themes I wasn't interested in or they picked a theme which I had no ideas or clothes for, so I declined to participate in those challenges. Because I haven't done a fashion post in awhile, I thought I'd share some pictures from TWO years ago! You heard me right! I've held onto these pictures for two years and I never shared them. That is why there are sunflowers in the first picture. 😂. Everyone knows we can't grow sunflowers in Wisconsin in May.
How to Wear Salmon
I absolutely love the color salmon, or peach, or light coral...😉 it's one of those colors that everyone has a different name for. It's a color that complements everyone's skin tone, and it's the perfect color to wear in spring or summer.
I received these comfy, cool salmon cotton pants in a Stitch Fix years ago. I recently styled them with a sweatshirt and sneakers in THIS POST, and with an all white top HERE. At 59, I'm starting to grow less comfortable in shorts, and prefer to a wear a lightweight cotton pant during the hot months instead. I honestly don't find them any warmer than a pair of shorts. The secret to wearing pants in summer is the fabric, and keep them loose...away from the skin as much as possible.
My top coincidentally matches my pants perfectly. The top is super old, from JCP. I owned the top before I got the pants from Stitch Fix. The salmon in the top ties the outfit together, and the blue coordinates and contrasts beautifully.
I hope you enjoyed my two year old fashion pictures! 😃 I hope to be fashion blogging with my other styling sisters soon!
Have A Great Day! Amy

That's an interesting idea. Thanks Jodie!
DeleteLove this outfit, so perfect for spring and summer! Can't believe how well the top coordinates with the pants even though they came from 2 different stores. I still wearing shorts whenever I'm outside for a longer period of time in the summer but have been wanting to get a pair of linen pants as an alternative to shorts. Your garden still amazes me, you and your hubby did such a fabulous job with it!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I still wear shorts too, even though my legs are not what they used to be. But pants or skirts are usually the first thing I grab when going out.
DeleteWell I'm glad you are finally sharing these photos now! THis outfit is so cute on you! I love the coral pants!

Thank you. I'm excited you started a veggie garden. I think the more people gardening now the better with all the food shortages and inflation.
DeleteIt's a beautiful outfit Amy! Not to mention timeless. The color is amazing.

Thanks Jill!
DeleteOne of my favorite colors!! You wear it well. I keep going into my closet with the intent of purging things but wind up hanging onto most everything. Have been able to wear more of my dresses and nicer pants for my substituting jobs.
ReplyDeletethank you! I purge, but I usually end up regretting it. I don't want to keep wearing the same clothes year after year, so some things have to go to make room for new things.
DeleteWhat a cute outfit! I really like the colour on you.
