Sugarplum Style, Vol. 89 + Top Posts & Finds of March & April

Happy Monday, friends, and welcome back to a new week. We escaped to the lake for the weekend, and the change of scenery worked wonders for our moods and attitudes! (My stepmom has a home there and generously let us use it for a few days.)

It’s incredibly remote and peaceful, and even though we’re no longer under shelter-in-place, we still chose not to venture out beyond the house. Even the kids opted for take-out over dining in a restaurant, which is interesting considering how badly they’ve wanted to ‘escape’ for the last 7 weeks!

It’s crazy how quickly social-distancing became a ‘normal’ feeling, and going back to ‘old’ ways feels uncomfortable now. I think we’ll ease into the newfound freedom slowly, making sure it’s the right choice. How about you…are things opening up where you are? How do you feel about it?

But enough about that…today it’s time for another round of Sugarplum Style, a round-up of my everyday outfits! It’s been two months since our last installment, and it’s incomprehensible how much has changed in that short time. We started March with a Spring Break trip to Cabo (full recap coming eventually!), and then spent the next seven weeks confined to the house.

As for your favorite finds of March and April….here are your top five. Did any of them make it to your closet?

  1. 12-Pack No-Show socks
  2. Cavallo Ruffle Neck top
  3. High-Rise cut-off shorts
  4. 2-Pack Perfect Tees
  5. Striped Ruffle swimsuit

Did you catch the discount code for my favorite bangle set?! Budha Girl is offering an exclusive 25% off just for HSP readers with code BDGCSP25, but hurry because the code expires tonight! I have both the gold and rose gold sets, and love them worn alone or together.

Sizing is based on your hand, since they slide on. I wear a small for a snug fit. I’ve tried several look-a-likes, and none compare to the original! They’re thicker and stronger, with gorgeous metallic tones that stay true for years, regardless of water and sun exposure. Shop the colors on sale HERE.

I hope your Monday is a great one, lovebugs!

    You look much more together than I do during this strange shelter in place period! Love all your looks. How did you do your DIY distressed sweatshirt (white top paired w/ denim shorts)? Did you a how-to guide to distress it or did you just wing it on your own? Thanks for your time!

      Just remember that these photos were taken for the blog, so I put myself together a little bit, ha! And Little Miss and I DIYed the distressed sweatshirt by winging it. I ordered another one to do it again, but it is still in transit! xo, Cassie

      At this point, we’re working on our next collection, so we won’t have official restocks of that one. But inventory is always updating, so I’d keep an eye out!! xo. C

    Hi Cassie!

    Yes could you please explain how you distressed the sweatshirt?! For someone who is NOT crafty like me!? 🙂 Like did you take scissors to the crew neck? Or what?! Please help as it’s such a cute look and I want to try and replicate it the best I can. Thank you in advance!
