Hi Sugarplum!

Sugarplum Style {Vol. 4}

September 17, 2014

Happy hump day, lovebugs! We had an ‘accidental’ bathtub overflow at home, so we’re dealing with 10 industrial fans and 2 child-sized dehumidifiers…along with a lot of noise and stink. But I’d rather talk about fashion than water damage, wouldn’t you?! I usually dress up for my day job, and share many of those
in my {Outfit Inspiration} posts, but I love casual, colorful, everyday
style just as much…as showcased in this Vol. 4 of Sugarplum Style.

This isn’t a traditional Sugarplum Style pic, but it was so popular on InstaGram and Facebook, I thought I’d share more details. I was at the mall scouting outfits for a friend (I love dressing other people!!), and stumbled on these two amazing skirts. The floral is an obvious choice for me, but I’ve never considered a midi skirt, simply because I thought the longer length wouldn’t be flattering. But I quickly changed my mind, and am on the midi skirt train now! It’s got a nice conservative length for work, but is chic and sophisticated for social events, as well. (Side note: my skirt is actually red and the top is light pink.)

    Darling as always! Our tub almost over flowed, the youngest turned the water on while I was cooking and I walked back in the bathroom to see it 1 inch from the top- hope the clean up happens quickly for you!

    I love both skirts that you tried on and I love midi skirts, BUT they are not the same thing! MIdi skirts are traditionally more challenging to style because they are much longer than those pictured, typically falling to at least as low as the widest part of the calf and definitely way below knee-length.

    Reply
    • hisugarplum says: September 17, 2014 at 5:12 pm

      Technically, a midi skirt is anywhere from just below the knee to just above the ankle…not a mini or a maxi. 🙂 True, that's a pretty big range…but the website also refers to this skirt as a midi, so I wanted to keep consistent to that. 🙂 xo

    Curious about your thoughts/opinions of Old Navy. inotice a BUNCH of items this time. While I think they have some cute/on trend thing, I find they are a "wear once or twice" deal, and they lose their color, shape, fabric looks very worn… and then I am bummed, and they sit in my closed because they don't look so hot. What are your feelings on what you will spend/more/less on, etc.

    Reply
    • hisugarplum says: September 17, 2014 at 5:09 pm

      Hi Andrea — you bring up a good point, but I am a big fan of Old Navy…specifically their price points. I don't find that they wear out any faster than higher priced clothes from J.Crew or Gap, but I'm not as mad when it happens because I didn't pay J.Crew prices for them. Tees and shorts that I'm going to wear repeatedly for a season, I'm okay replacing after a few years. I only invest in non-trendy items that will get years-long wear…like boots, coats, jeans. But even when I shop higher-end stores like Nordstrom, you've likely noticed I lean towards the lower priced items. It's what my budget allows, and they usually aren't pieces I have the desire to keep for 10+ years. But honestly, I have just as many 5+ year old pieces from Old Navy in my closet as I do any other store. 🙂 xo

    I just love your style!!!! And I am so happy you mentioned that your skirt is red, it looks hot pink in the pics and ever since last week when you posted it on instagram I have been stalking that skirt like it's my J-O-B! I kept wondering why the link took me to a red skirt, lol! Your fashion posts always inspire me, thanks so much!

Aaaah, Thursday…how much do I love you!! We’ve almost made it through the week, and fun times are just around the corner! I usually dress up for my day job, and share many of those
in my {Outfit Inspiration} posts, but I love casual, colorful, everyday
style just as much…as showcased in this Vol. 3 of Sugarplum Style.

    Beautiful outfits! I love the way you mix & match and re-invent your outfits. I need to be better at that, I'm sure it makes you feel like you've just shopped and bought a "new" outfit.

    • hisugarplum says: August 7, 2014 at 9:50 pm

      Yes — It helps to stretch my wardrobe so I don't over-shop, or get bored with my clothes. It's like a challenge to see how many combos I can create. xo

    Yesterday I received the fit and flair striped dress from the Gap that you highlighted recently…Oh..My….so darn cute! I am only 5'7" but have really long legs so I often have trouble with dresses being too short…but Gap has this one in Tall!! I was super excited.

    I love all of your looks! I have been using the heck out of the bag charm. So many people ask me about it..what it represents, if I've been to Mexico recently, etc.. Cracks me up a bit. Lots of twenty somethings admire it and the ladies my age (mid forties and fabulous!) don't really get it! LOL – I LOVE IT!

    I think I found you on Pinterest a while back, liked you on FB, am FREAKING out for the elephant bag tassel!!! I'm sooo sad they're out of stock! But I see above you say they restock. So I signed up for the random website =). Never woulda done.
    I LOVE the colors and have a thing for Ganesh (he's a rock star God, check him out. A remover of obstacles!!! =). I've been in a total fashion RUT and feel super inspired by this post with all the yummy colors!!! My fav. is the white skirt, gingam top, neon yellow shoes! Thx for the post!!
