Monthly Musings - March - Spring Fashion

March 28, 2024

 



Hi friends, I'm joining Holly and Patty for their Monthly Musings link-up.  The topic for this month is Spring Fashion.


HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS:


1.  What is your go-to spring outfit?  I like to dress casual during the week.  If I'm going to run errands I will wear leggings/jeans with a 3/4 sleeve top, long sleeve top, a light sweater with cute fashion sneakers.  If weather is permitting I will wear a light jacket or cardigan.   

2.  Favorite spring fashion pieces?  I love a light colored sweater, a fashion scarf, flat slip on shoes, sneakers, and sandals when the weather permits.  I also like wearing my Chanel or MuMu sunglasses on sunny days.  

3.  Do you change up your handbag for spring?  I like using a light colored crossbody handbag.

4.  When do you bring out your open toe shoes?  I like wearing open toe shoes and sandals when the weather hits about 70 degrees.  We have to wait a while here for warmer weather to wear open toe shoes.

5.  Favorite spring scents?  My two favorite scents for spring are Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana and Cool Water for Women by Davidoff.  I would love to go to Sephora or Ulta to try on some new scents.

6.  White after Easter? After Memorial Day? Heck, whenever I want!  I like wearing my white pants in May when the weather is warmer and it feels like spring.

7.  Favorite ways to add spring to your wardrobe when the weather is not quite cooperating?  I think wearing a fashion scarf, a bright colored sweater, or a bright colored jacket are great ways to add spring to a wardrobe when the weather isn't cooperating.

8.  Do you change up your makeup routine for spring?  Yes, I do change up my makeup routine for spring.  I like to wear an SPF cream on my face and then depending on where I'm going, I will use an SPF BB cream or tinted moisturizer on my face.  I love wearing a bright colored lipstick.  I sometimes will use a blue pencil eyeliner or blue mascara.

9.  How do you transition your wardrobe for spring?  I take out of my dresser draws, turtlenecks, sweatshirts, and heavy sweaters.  I also like to put away heavy coats and scarves.  I like to add in lighter sweaters, cardigans, light long sleeve tops, and 3/4 sleeve tops.  I like to add in to my coat closet lighter jackets.

10.  Favorite spring accessories/jewelry?  I noticed that gold chain necklaces and gold chunky earrings are in style and I'll be adding them for spring.

YAY FOR SPRING!  I CAN'T WAIT TO CHANGE MY WARDROBE TO SPRING CLOTHES!

Sheet Pan Chicken and Vegetables

March 18, 2024

 


Hello friends.  I love making quick and easy week-night meals for my family.  Making sheet pan meals is an easy way to get dinner ready in no time at all.  This chicken and vegetable meal can be prepared, cooked, and ready to eat in less than an hour.

I made it easy on myself and used prepared and cut up fresh vegetables from the supermarket.   

Below, the chicken and vegetables are prepared on a sheet pan and ready to go into the oven.

I hope you enjoy this easy and delicious weeknight meal.

Currently - March 2024

March 6, 2024

 


Hello friends, Happy March.  I'm linking up with Jennifer from Overflowing with Thankfulness for her Currently link-up.  We will be sharing this month what we are loving, looking forward to, planning, wearing, and eating.

LOVING:  We recently watched two Yorkie's, named Darcy and Watson.  The last time we watched them was for Thanksgiving weekend.  These are the cutest dogs and they are well behaved.  They are related, the dog on the right (Darcy) is the father, and the son (Watson) is on the left.  We had so much fun with the dogs and we can't wait to watch them again.

   

LOOKING FORWARD TO:  I'm looking forward to the start of spring in a few weeks.  I love the warmer weather and the pretty spring flowers.  I also can't wait for the summer and going to the beach.  My husband and I took a ride to the Jersey Shore a few weeks ago and I took this photo of the ocean and beach.  It was so calming looking at the water and walking on the beach. 


PLANNING:  The Macy's Flower Show is an event I look forward to visiting each year.  I'm looking forward to seeing all of the beautiful flower displays this year.  It will be held this year at Macy's Herald Square from March 24th to April 7th.  


This is a photo of me last year in front of one the flower displays.

 
WEARING:  I've been wearing a lot of comfortable and athletic wear clothes during the week.  I go to my gym at least three to four times a week so I live in leggings, a t-shirt, and a sweatshirt.    

EATING:  I recently went to a local Greek restaurant with my husband.  We both had beer, shared grilled octopus, and I got a lamb kabob with roasted lemon potatoes and a greek salad.  It was so good but a lot of food, so I took half of it home to eat the next day.  My husband had a burger and rice.  


I've been making this egg bake for a week day breakfast for our family.  It tastes so good and it's easy to make.


When we don't have the egg bake for breakfast, my husband either makes for us a protein shake or yogurt with granola, fruit, and honey.  On the weekend he will make me one egg over easy with toast.  I love that he makes for me breakfast most mornings.



What have you been up to and is currently new with you?
