How to wear a casual dress and love it – fashion over 40 and teen fashion

November 30, 2016 by Lisa Lehmann

I do love me a good dress. But usually with heels and a fun occasion in mind. Sometimes the casual dress isn’t as easy to pull off. Finding the right shoes. The right leg wear. The right jewelry. Ok, the jewelry part is never a problem. But back to the dress, or even a skirt for that matter.

I do love a good dress.

Isabel and I have a few ideas. Keep it simple. Keep it clean. It’s all in the attitude ladies. Of course a few golden retrievers don’t hurt.

Sunday’s have become fashion days. We all take time to dress for church. And then weather dependent. Photos. I love these moments for the many reasons. Yes, of course the fashion part. But mostly? The bonding piece. Small moments I get to spend with my girls. It’s only a snippet of time. But you get a glimpse into our lives. Our interactions. We don’t dress FOR photos. We dress for ourselves. You get to see real life fashion on real life people. Not models. Not staged. Mostly us just goofing around in our town. Hopefully I can give you some real life insight on what works, what doesn’t and how to pull it all together. My girls? They’re naturals. Stick around, ok? Fashion days shall continue!

Family Fashion a slow transition to autumn

October 4, 2016 by Lisa Lehmann

Autumn mornings. You rub the sleep from your eyes in the morning. Cloudy. Crisp. Then by noon the sun begins to reach her arms to the earth. As if to say…not yet. Not yet. It does make it hard to dress oneself. But I am not complaining. The warmth is what I need. The sun. With my inner demons struggle, I crave vitamin D by way of the sun. The sweet caress of her warmth. Between that and exercise, it is in my top depression arsenal.

Autumn fashion. Mostly transitional. Sometimes difficult. But oh so fun. [Read more…] about Family Fashion a slow transition to autumn

Family Style. Edging into Autumn and BOOTS!

September 20, 2016 by Lisa Lehmann

If I have to start thinking about autumn and {gasp} winter, at the very least I need to start thinking boots. If you know me at all…I’m ALL about boots. In fact. I may have a problem. Albeit small. Ok, not so small. Fine. I love boots. Many much of boots. All the boots in fact. Yes, I’m done saying boots. For now.

I love boots. Many much of boots. ALL the boots, in fact.

The weather is still warm, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start bringing our wardrobe into fall tones. The best part of this season is that bare legs are still ok. Sleeves are optional. And the color palette is outstanding. And boot(ies). That’s how I’m edging into footwear with covered toes. The good news? I don’t have to worry about painted toes as much! Winning!

My girls are super excited for their new season wardrobe. We had an awesome summer. But, alas, it’s time. Here is how we best take on a tad bit more crispness in the morning, but still full on warm sunshine in the afternoon.

As you may have noticed, sleeves are taking on a new look this season. Bare shoulders and lots of open work. Super fun. I love how Isabel has on a bit more fall like top but yet pairs it with her strappy fun sandals so she’s not QUITE giving up her summer. And apparently now we buy jeans pre-ripped. Personally? I was always good at wearing through my own, but these darn teens don’t want to wait that long, so…we pay for pre-ripped jeans. SMH.

Sleeves are taking on a new look this season!

Tahlia, ever the dress girl found this sweet flow-y dress which is PERFECT for in between. It’s still light enough for now paired with her Sperry’s, but once the leaves start falling all she needs in some funky tights and boots.

Same with my dress. As we have established, sleeves are not my thing. But take this cute SLEEVELESS shift and add booties. Instant autumn. A few weeks down the road I’ll add a cardigan and tights. The color is so rich and delicious. And, this style dress is flattering for pretty much any body shape and size.

Now tell me. Have you dusted off your boots yet? I’m not alone right?

Family Style, plus one. It’s not autumn…yet.

PSL’s. Boots. Sweaters. I’m all about fall and fall fashion and style. But NOT.YET. I’m embracing summer until they pry the flip flops from my freezing fingers.

These girls don’t start school until next week. This beach life summer has been incredible. So fall? Nope. Not. Yet.

We thought we’d bring you our last bit of summer style…before inevitably the leaves begin to fall. And maybe just maybe I’ll splurge for a PSL this week, but ONLY because it’s going to be September. It’s like one of those “have to’s”. Right?

Are you ready to let go of summer yet?
