ageless style (August 15. 2024)

 


It's another bonus blog post day! I'm joining Joanne and some others (and also Jill and Kellyann) for this link party on ageless style that takes place the third Thursday of every month. This month's focus is about items we've splurged on.


I don't splurge on many clothing items, but I have a couple of shirts that I've recently bought that were more than I'd normally pay for a top, and then I'll move onto a few other things I splurge on. 



First up is this flowy top that is the Umgee brand. If I had a favorite brand of clothing, it would be this brand. I found this cream colored top in a boutique this spring, and for $35, it was mine. I love how versatile it is, and that it will also carry me into fall since it stays warm here for so long. The jeans I'm wearing here are the Westbound brand that I love. Now's a good time to mention my second item to splurge on, and it's good shoes. The sandals I'm wearing in this picture are the Remonte brand, and they're my second pair by them. I love them, not only are they comfortable, they're also supportive for my ankles that hurt a lot. Back to clothing...




In December of last year, my best friend and I went to Columbia, Tennessee for a day, and when I walked in a boutique and saw this shirt, it was love at first sight. This was my birthday gift to myself, because it was $60. I never spend that much money on a top! It was worth every penny. 


Back to shoes again...



Once again, I can't wear cheap shoes because of issues I have with my ankles and one foot. I love these Dansko sandals and have worn them a lot this summer; I love it when shoes are supportive and cute. 



I know it's not clothing, but the other things I treat myself to are getting my nails done once a month, pedicures every two or three months, and I get fresh highlights every three to four months. 



And those are the things I splurge on! It's fun to treat yourself, and I highly recommend it every once in a while. Thanks for reading my bonus post today, friends. Love to all!

  1. Thank you so much for joining us this month. I love your splurges. Cream is a real "in" color this fall, so you will definitely be on-trend this fall. And I forgot about considering hair and nails a splurge, but you're right! Those are great splurges.

    1. It was a fun month to join in! Thanks for hosting each month, and I'm excited to join y'all again next month. I didn't realize that cream was one of the "in" colors this year, but I love neutrals for that very reason; they last forever!

  2. I do enjoy a pedicure every 3 months or so and really need one right now: with my son's college bill looming (due in a week or so), it is hard for me to justify it but I will surely get one before my birthday next month! I do sometimes splurge on a clothing item in a boutique while on vacation. It is always a nice reminder of that vacation!

    1. I can't always justify pedicures either, so I'll keep putting if off for longer and longer until I finally give in. 🤣 That is a great way to remember a trip!

  5. You didn´t talk about your capri jeans in the first pictures but I really like them, especially the wide cuff/ hem on the bottom. I like all of your outfits!
