Open Stitch Collar Cardigan curated on LTK

Let’s start off the week with our best foot forward! I love mixing black clothing pieces with rich brown leather accessories to really amp up a basic look. If the open stitch cardigan looks familiar, it’s because it was a best seller for June-but in almond. It adds just enough coverage for aggressively air conditioned spaces but it’s easy to drape over the shoulders or tie around your waist outside. Plus, the tank dress has the best hidden feature-a padded built in bra! When it’s super hot and sticky outside, that’s the layer I want to ditch!

Two coats-one to wear now, one to buy now to wear later! Wearing both in an XS. The outfit is the same for both-size small in the top and 27 in the jeans. Shoes run TTS! I linked my new glasses too!

Feeling like the 💃🏼 emoji in this red dress! Our synagogue hosted the Air Force Band for a mini concert last night and we were encouraged to wear red, white and blue. I’ve shared this before and it’s still a winner! Love the rick rack trim and the pockets! It’s under $50, comes in lots of other colors and it’s very wrinkle resistant (bonus)! The sunglasses are my new prescription ones-but I found the frames for you and linked them!

Where to go after a spray tan when you can’t put on makeup for awhile? The movies! I wanted to wear clothes that were soft, covered my arms and legs (for the most part) and were cozy enough to sit in for the 2 hour+ movie we were headed to watch. I grabbed my cashmere throw because it’s ALWAYS cold in the movies and I definitely needed it. We went to see the new Reagan movie and it was fantastic! I was surprised how emotional I was at the end-we all know how it ends! Definitely recommend if you haven’t seen it yet!

Wore this outfit last night to an Eastern Mah Jong class and we had the best time! I really want to re-learn American style and find a group to play with regularly, but until then, this works! This blouse has lots of fun details-there’s a hidden snap at the top to hold it together, ties at the neck that I like to leave open, and elastic at the hem to give it a tucked in look without having to tuck it in. It also comes in two other prints and you can get it 15% off with code MARNIE15. I’m wearing it in an XS. The jeans are new, too, and are pretty stretchy. I got my true size because I wanted a not so tight fit and I think that’s the way to go. They have a raw hem which makes it easy to shorten on your own at home. They’re also 15% off with my code!

Anyone else want to learn how to play Mah Jong or already do?

I recently shared these green corduroy pants in a YouTube video and ever since my DM’s have been filled with requests for the link! Well, they’re LIVE, and part of the newest collection with @shop_avara and @nashvilletash. The pants run roomy, so if you’re between sizes, size down. I paired them with another find from Tash’s collection, this sweet fuzzy plaid vest. Wearing it on its on for the late summer weather, but I can’t wait to wear it over a long sleeve top or dress when it cools down! Wearing it in an XS. I saved the best part for last-use code GOLD15 to save 15% on Avara sitewide!

This is just a part of what I just ordered for my September 2024 haul! It all couldn’t fit! I ordered everything in a size XS or size 2. I ordered the shoes in my regular size.

Camo, black, tan and a hint of metallic shimmer-I’m just loving this very casual running around town outfit! If you’ve never tried these joggers, they have to be the most comfortable athletic type pair I’ve ever worn. Wearing them in a size XS.
Size tip on the sneakers-I get them a ½ size smaller. They also have a hidden platform inside the heel to give you a little lift!

It’s Labor Day Weekend, and everything I’m wearing is on sale (except the purse). The exact color of my top is sold out BUT it comes in 4 other options AND now it’s available in long sleeve as well. The pants are my favorite non-denim pants and they’re on sale for $20! I’ve worn them for years now and have them in two colors. They come in three inseam lengths and they run big-size down one from your normal size. I’m wearing a size 2 short. The sandals run true to size and are on a major sale too. They’re incredibly comfortable from the first wear and go with everything! Now…if only it will cool down enough for me to come out from the shade!

Sharing another summer to fall outfit idea here. Started with a lightweight knit sleeveless sweater tucked into one of my favorite denim silhouettes (raw kick crop flare) and added some extra flare with silver kitten heels. I brought along a scuba knit blazer to wear inside the air-conditioned restaurant but it’s also a great layering piece for fall and comes in lots of wearable colors. Scroll to the last slide to see my fun new ring-I’ll try to get it on video later so you can see all the colors in it! Sizing and discount code info: Top and blazer size XS (they’re roomy, you can size down), jeans run true to size (size 26). Use code MARNIE15 to get 15% off the sweater and jeans and MSGOLDGIRL15 to save 15% on the earrings and ring (although with the Labor Day sales they may have a better discount on the website).

First slide: taken mid-afternoon, tucked in the top, wearing loafers and sunglassss. Second slide: same outfit, but it’s 7:30 am, too tired to tuck in the shirt, wearing sneakers. Either way, this raw edge, batwing two piece set is fantastic for running errands, doctors visits, travel days, and working from home. Comes in lots of colors and I’m wearing it in a size small (comes in sizes XS-XL). It’s the perfect set to wear now into fall.

Are these my best pictures? No. But these are some of my favorite pics from our trip to Vermont because the day itself was GLORIOUS!! Also, this outfit worked so well for breakfast, playing tourist and then traveling back home (90 minute drive to Albany, flight from Albany to Chicago, layover in Chicago and then flight home to San Antonio).

The pieces all run true to size-wearing small in the jacket and XS in the top and joggers.

Found the perfect fall transition dress-it’s a lightweight flannel with a flounce skirt, pockets, and comes in several plaid options. If it’s warmer out, wear it with sandals or ankle boots, if it’s colder, cover up with knee high boots and a jacket (I added a raincoat). Take it to a country concert by switching the boots to Western style. It’s under $17 and I’m wearing it in an XS.

We may be starting a new week full of appointments, work, errands and the usual busy life moments but I’m still dreaming about the total peace of a Vermont forest. This is my happiest place!

Outfit details: the quilted pullover is a similar look to a Free People pullover for quite a bit less. I’m wearing it in a size small, and underneath are two pieces from the Scoop scuba knit line in size XS.

When you want to wear a sweatshirt and jeans but look put together, this is the way to go! The seaming and peplum detail on this lightweight sweatshirt elevates it just enough to work for a casual dinner (use code MARNIE15 to get it 15% off). I added a belted shirt jacket for a little tone on tone action (and it’s a great layering piece for fall)! I know it’s too hot to pull this off for most of us, but you’ll want to have it in your closet for that cooler weather that (fingers crossed) is just around the corner!

This new find was the perfect travel day outfit-and it was a LONG day! Got up at 2:30 am, hit the road at 3 am for a 5:30 am flight to Albany, NY with a layover in Baltimore and then a 90 minute drive to our ultimate destination, Manchester, Vermont. I wore this ensemble to a very casual dinner on the back patio of the hotel and managed not to fall asleep face down in my salad. Wearing a size small in the track suit, shoes run true to size. I’m still looking for a link to my glasses-they’re the Anguilla model from Michael Kors.

I packed some extra special @bombas socks for my trip to Vermont-lots of no shows for our daily walks and quite a few ¼ length socks to wear with boots-boots to wear with dresses AND rain boots. Probably should have added a couple of pairs of their compression socks for the travel days-Vermont is a LONG way away from Texas! You can get all the socks, along with so many other great pieces for 25% off right now with code EXCLISUVE25. I’ve linked my top choices for you. The socks run true to size. I wear a size 7 shoe and got the small size socks.

We had one “fancy” dinner out in Vermont this week, a lovely evening at @reluctantpanther. I’m so glad I packed this gorgeous (and extremely comfortable) knit dress. It would look great belted but since I knew I was planning on eating all the courses, I decided against it. It was chilly, so I wore what is essentially a trench/belted shirt jacket that I got last year and plan on ordering in another color for this fall as well. It works with jeans, dresses, casual, a little dressed up, and it has pockets too! Wearing the dress in a size XS and it’s still roomy (code MARNIE10 for 10% off), jacket size small and boots size down a half size.

Same outfit, slightly different as the day goes on! First, we visited a lake nearby to go paddle boating. It was closed but we enjoyed the scenery. It was also chilly so I threw on a jacket along with my rain boots. I forgot to show the sneakers I changed into for walking around the nearby town but I’ve linked them. Then it was out to dinner so I swapped the joggers for jeans and the rain boots and sneakers for booties. Our day didn’t go according to plan but we still had an amazing time!

Sizing details:
Tank sweater & cardigan: XS
Joggers: XS-use code MARNIE10
Boots: TTS
Jacket: Small
Jeans: Size 0

#walmartpartner Since I’m an empty nester with no grandkids, I’ll always jump at the chance to spoil my son’s cat! I ordered everything from @walmart and came by to put it all together. It’s hard to tell from her face, but I think @Nyx liked everything! #cats #catgrandma #blackcats #petsupplies

You can take the girl out of Chicago, but you’ll never take away my love for Lou Malnati’s deep dish pizza. I also love a good pair of jeans and a great sale, which is going on right now at @maurices. They’re holding their first ever Feel Good In Your Jeans day and ALL of their denim is 40% off. I’m wearing my current favorites but I’ve linked a few more. One other thing I love-all their jeans comes in extra short to extra tall inseams and sizes 0-24! They’re already a budget friendly retailer but today’s sale is INSANE!!

Keeping it simple in the August heat with this basic gauze midi dress with a drawstring waist. It has pockets and I’m wearing it in a size XS. The olive green color is a way to make it look more transitional into fall but it comes in other colors too and it’s under $20!

Not to contradict Kermit the Frog, but it’s pretty easy being 💚green💚 in this fun eyelet top (that also comes in every other color you can imagine). Wore this out to see @sebastiancomedy tour on Sunday night and as usual, he did not disappoint! If you have the chance to catch him on tour, go! We saw him last time he was in San Antonio at the Majestic Theater, now he’s selling out arenas!!

The jeans are the newest wash for my beloved trouser jeans from @lovechicos. They’re on sale today! I’m wearing them in the regular length but they also come in petite and tall. I also have to point out my new earrings from @kendrascott-theyre enamel and come in quite a few rich, saturated colors. If you’re getting ready for football season, these are a perfect accessory for your game day outfits!

Did you know that there are two “golden hours” each day that are ideal for taking pictures? I’m usually not up and about for the first one, but when you have an early flight home you might as well take advantage of some good light and get an outfit pic! See the golden light? The sleeveless sweater is from a total sweater and knit pants set and the elastic waist, pull on cargo pants are a new release from @walmartfashion that I’m tempted to buy in every color! I’ve also linked the matching half-zip sweatshirt. I also have to mention my current favorite set of suitcases. I’m using the front flap carry on and the large suitcase, and I have the middle size at home. They glide so easily and I can push them both fully loaded with one hand. This exact tote has been updated-I’ve linked both the current version and a more affordable option that appears to be identical! Happy travels!

This dress with a built in bra and dry wicking material is an outstanding pick for a travel day, but it also works well for going straight to dinner off the plane! It layers well under denim shirts, jackets, cardigans or blazers, has big side seam pockets and is very wrinkle resistant. It works well with sneakers or dress it up with a brown sandal. I’ve been wearing this dress on repeat-for going out to dinner in San Antonio, and on the plane to Chicago and then dinner right off the plane! Wearing it in a size XS.

Sneakers or loafers? Which one are you? I’m a jeans and casual top girl, either way! Some sizing tips:
On the top, size UP one. I didn’t and I wish I would have.
Jeans-size DOWN one. They’re very stretchy.
Both shoes run true to size.

Weekly Favorites August 9, 2024

1. These INCREDIBLY soft suede loafers are soft on the inside too! Runs tts and I LOVE the rubber/gum sole for traction and a little height.

2. I have been wearing this lip oil in Mixed Berries all week. It’s so lightweight and moisturizing on the lips but it does have more pigment than other lip oils, plus a very slight plumping feel. Use code MARNIE15 to get 15% off.

3. I’ve been using a denim/chambray shirt as an outer layer/jacket in my current travels and it’s such a great alternative to a full on denim jacket. Plus you can just wear it as a shirt with all sorts of bottoms to make another outfit!

4. This denim (not chambray) shirtdress is fantastic. It’s a heavier weight, like a true denim, but it’s not stiff and heavy. It has pockets on the sides and the buttons are all fully functional. I have it in an XS.

5. This oversized sunglasses are lightweight and they have every color I want in a pair of sunglasses. Black frames on the top graduate to a tortoiseshell and the lenses are a light blue. Use code MARNIE15 to get 15% off.

I can’t get Raffi’s “Mr. Sun” song out of my head! Who remembers that one from when the kids were little? We had a couple days of absolutely glorious weather while in the Chicago area-sunny skies and cooler temps-and it felt so good! Also good, actually great, are these wide cuffed jeans and ribbed tee. This is an outfit repeat already and I’m sure you’ll see them again and again! Everything runs true to size. Chambray shirt is size small, tee is XS and jeans are size 2.
