{Best of 2015} Style Series

December 30, 2015

Well, North Texas is having a seasonal crisis….we went from sunny and 75 Christmas day, to horrific rains and tornadoes, and now it’s freezing with snow!? No wonder I’m coughing my fool-head off! I hoped to take the kids to the movie today, but I’m afraid someone might try to smother me just to make the coughing stop. Guess I’m forced to stay home in this snuggly wrap. #twistmyarm

Fashion has been a big part of this blog from the very beginning…in fact, I had an {Outfit Inspiration} post in my first week of blogging…but I beg you not to go back and look at it! Let’s just say I’ve learned a little in the past almost-six years!

I’m equally passionate about design and fashion, but the number of style posts have grown over the years as my interests evolved, and time restraints grew. Let’s face it, it’s a lot easier, quicker, and less expensive to get dressed, than to make over an entire room, or DIY a project!

More new style series have popped up over the years as I prefer my fashion posts to be helpful, as well as inspirational. Here’s a round-up of many of those from 2015…click the link under each image for all the posts in that category.

Good style doesn’t have to cost a fortune, so I scour the internet to find less expensive options for many of the current high-end trends.

{Look-for-Less}

Models on retailer’s websites and catalogs don’t really give a true depiction of an item, so I started trying on and sharing my top picks from my favorite stores…giving honest reviews and opinions, along with sizing tips and options for styling. With an occasional sidekick photobomb.
{Dressing Room Diaries}
This monthly series has been going strong for a couple of years, with quick snaps of my everyday outfits I share on Facebook and Instagram using #SugarplumStyle.
{Sugarplum Style}
I rarely, if ever, buy something for a specific event, with no plans of ever wearing it again. In order for something to come home with me, it needs to play double and triple duty…at least! This series shows how I make items work for both Day and Night.
{Day to Night}
It’s not always easy, but Mr. SP and I try to get out for occasional Date Nights…some fancy, but mostly casual. I’ve been sharing these posts for a few years, with our son behind the camera, but this year we ventured out with a professional photographer on occasion. It became a fun part of our Date Nights, and gave us a chance to share more of our city under the Big D and Dallas Eats categories. 
{Date Night Styles}
{Family Dates}
In effort to stretch my closet even further, I love making many items work for multiple seasons.
{Now & Later}

Same is true for making clothes adapt for both work and casual weekends. Many of you have asked for more work-appropriate fashion, so I’m planning more of these in the new year.

{Work to Weekend}
Building a stylish outfit every time is simple when you follow this basic Rule of Three principle.
{The Rule of Three}

The goal isn’t to have more clothes, but to create more options with the items you do have! And when you do shop, to add items that stretch your wardrobe even further! Do you enjoy the various style series? Which are your favorites? Anything you’d like to see more of in 2016?

Family Fun Day

November 25, 2015

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! Are you prepping your waistband for the feast that lies ahead? I’ve already planned on these leggings with this wrap…cozy, comfy, and lots of room for pie! #priorities But more than anything, I’m just thrilled to be back home with my people, and celebrating the holiday.

We recently had a mini photo session with one of our favorite people (who also happens to be a knockout photographer), and I was shocked at just how much our little family has changed in the two years since our last shoot!!

It seems our son grows and changes more everyday, but seeing photographic proof that he’s almost as big as dad makes me weep just a little! It seems only yesterday they were placing that baby boy in my nervous, overwhelmed, shaking, ecstatic arms…and now he’s a smart, kind-hearted young man! #gulp #holdme

We try to do something as a family at least once a week, even if it’s a simple game of Uno after dinner. Klyde Warren Park, one of Dallas’ coolest outdoor urban areas, is a favorite of ours when the weather is nice. There’s always something fun going on like live music or performers, and the rotating food trucks are a bonus. (See other Big D favorite spots here and Dallas Eats here.)

Ya’ll know I’m a fan of the jumping picture…but obviously, it’s a lot harder to capture with four people instead of one (like here and here). So just how many attempts does it take?

Nope.

Hi Sugarplum | Family Day

Not quite.

Hi Sugarplum | Family Day

Almost.

Hi Sugarplum | Family Day

Um, no. But how about my son’s hops?!

Hi Sugarplum | Family Day

Oh geez. #momfail

Hi Sugarplum | Family Day

Success! Kind of.

Hi Sugarplum | Family Day

Looking back to the early days, it feels like Mr. SP and I were just kids ourselves…certainly not wise or responsible enough to raise our own kids! And now these people are my whole world, and I thank God every day for them. #mycuprunnethover

I’m thankful for each one of you, as well, and wish you the very happiest of Thanksgivings. I’ll see you back here early Friday for a major line-up of all the best Black Friday sales, and my top picks!

Until then, I had my kids round up some of their favorite toy gift ideas…including the always fun, Elf on a Shelf! (See 20 of our best Elf ideas here.) With free shipping and unmarked boxes, the Nordstrom Toy Shop has become my new secret weapon for smuggling toys in the house undetected!

*Thank you, Mary Summers, for the fabulous pictures. This post was written in collaboration with Nordstrom, but all clothes, ideas, and hormonal mom sentiments are my own. Thank you for supporting Hi Sugarplum sponsors!
