Ways to dress up, down, layer and take a tank or tee from casual styles to dressy

Pebby Forevee Tee shirts

Hello trend lovers, today I am posting about one of my favorite shops, Pebby Forevee. Today I received my newest tee shirt from her line and once I saw it I was so excited I had to share. If you haven't heard of Pebby Forevee yet you must jump over to her site and take a look for yourself. I am a tee shirt lover and have a huge collection of cool shirts and tanks. I found this shop on Etsy awhile back and ordered my first tee, it was so hard to pick one because she has so many amazing styles and choices. Not only does she have a huge selection of cute graphics and sayings, but she also has the choice of several styles as well. You can pick the color,  you have the option of black, white, gray and pink. Then you can pick which style top you would like your design on, there is the super cute off the shoulder tee, regular crew neck tee and the cute muscle cut tank. All the tee shirts are handmade and unique. 

 I had to have the John Muir quote, "The mountains are calling and I must go". One of my favorites. I purchased this one back in the early fall. I went with black and the off the shoulder cut. Super cute and looks amazing with jeans or dressed up with a cute skirt. 

I have a long wish list of tee shirts from her line. Every time I visit her site I find new styles that I add to my list. It will probably take me awhile to own each one, but hope to eventually have all of my favorites.  I love how they fit and that they are unique. 

My latest order was a hard decision because there are so many I want. I almost have to just close my eyes and point to one from my wishlist. I decided after a lot of going back and forth to order, "Blame it on my gypsy soul". I love gypsy style and feel I have a little gypsy soul in me. This tee is super cute. I got it in pink which has black lettering, I went with the pink since I have so many gray and black tees. I always try to order a color if it's an option, a lot of tee shirts tend to only be available in white, black or gray so it is nice to have a color option. 


Super cute and love the color. For sure pops out and the black writing looks amazing. You can tell the shirts are made by hand and a lot of thought goes into everything from the design and cut, to the packaging.  


Every envelope is hand stamped and includes hand stamped labels tied around the tee with a thank you card. Even the invoice has a hand written thank you on it. Love the time taken and put into the line. You can tell she really does put her heart and soul into her shirts and I love that.  


Customer service is above and beyond. Shipping and processing, considering that each shirt is made to order is amazingly fast. One of my favorite smaller businesses for sure. When contacting customer service I got a response right away. 


This is my laid out outfit I posted on Instagram when I got "The mountains are calling" tee back in the fall. Super cute paired it with some ripped Vigoss jeans, Steve Madden boots, a thick leather studded belt and jacket. I have this cute VS leopard print bra that looked cute with the off the shoulder cut as you can see below. The straps don't look like a bra strap they look more like a tank top or sports bra strap. 


I ordered a medium because I wanted it to fit loosely and love the way the shirt hangs of the shoulder just right. The cut is amazing and looks professional. I have washed my tee several times inside out and it looks amazing still. One thing I can recommend is that I don't dry my tee shirts in the dryer I always hang them to preserve from shrinking or fading. 


Above I wore the tee to a ugly Christmas sweater party. I did not have a sweater, I have some cute ugly sweater looking leggings I found online and the tee was great paired with the leggings. Also looks super cute with a skirt tied to one side or with a chunky belt. 


Above are some of my favorites from her website that are on my wish list and hope to order soon. My next purchase will either be the Indian headpiece design or the cow skull. If you follow her IG page she does have contests and BOGO promotions, try to check back often. I am hoping to catch one when I am going to order. 
 

Be sure to check out her website at www.mypebbyforevee.com. All these photos are from the website, they are not mine. Using for the purpose to show other designs that I love and you may enjoy also.

This brand is a great addition to your wardrobe if you love unique and cute tee shirts like myself. You can wear these with jeans, shorts, skirts, leggings. Whether you are going for a casual or dressy look. I love to dress up my shirts with statement necklaces, chunky belts, heels or boots. Great layered with kimono style tops, vests and jackets. There are so many options which is why I love tee shirts. Today I wore my new pink tee with a black basic tank, jeans and sandals, but came home to chill and threw on some black jogger style sweats. Ready for relaxing around the house. 

Be sure to pass by the site or her IG to check out her amazing line. You won't be able to leave without ordering one. Would love to see photos of your tees or hear about your favorite shirts also. Leave comments below. Enjoy the weekend xoxo ✌️❤️

Navy and white Blazer

Found this super cute navy and white striped blazer at Target, of course. Was shopping for things for the house but I was drawn to the clothing department first. Love stripes and love navy with white, so as soon as I saw this had to grab it. Didn't try it on but was happy the medium fit, it has some room actually. May run a little large because usually blazers or button down tops I wear a large.

Super cute paired with my navy dress pants and vneck tank. Tank is from target and pants are from express. 
Perfect for work, meetings or even cute with jeans or a pleated skirt, so many options.

Love this and for me a great blazer with some texture and not just solid is a staple item for every closet or wardrobe. Target does it again and I looked great for my meeting earlier this week. Wish I had taken a few shots of the blazer after adding some pearls and navy accent pieces along with my Tory Burch flats.

Tgif all, so happy it's the weekend. Enjoy and happy shopping.

Target and Homegoods inspired feather, bohemian bedroom

Below is a collage I made last week after seeing the painting on top left at Homegoods, the pillow at target and then saw these super cute Etsy pillows on Pinterest so hit Etsy to hunt and found several pillow covers. Love the concept of pillow covers so I don't have to buy more pillows when I own so many. 

Last week I was inspired by a painting I saw at HomeGoods, went back this week and it was marked down to 18 from $39.99 had to buy it. I love bohemian style not just for fashion but home design. I have been trying to finish my bedroom for some time, usually I finish every room in the house and my bedroom is half done or on the back burner. 

Luckily Target is next door to Homegoods so I made a quick run and still had my 25 off 100 and 10 off 50 coupons that expire tomorrow, and grabbed some sheets, had the duvet from last week, got two shag gray rugs for each side of the bed, that feather pillow and some pillow cases. I stuck with white and gray sheets, love white bedding. Also love cause my old bedding is aqua and white then gray and white so it all goes together. 


However I am looking for new euro shams in aqua or darker gray. Love how it looks just have to decide how to rework the pink accent now, thinking once I order the Indian headpiece pillow off etsy which has pink, it will all look fabulous. 

Quickly threw it all together between cleaning my closet, dressing area and bathroom.
Love how it looks already and just started. 

Black and white shot I posted on IG. 

As you can see I am catching up on posts for the week. I have a post post I am saving for tomorrow with before and after shots of my closet and dressing area. Then I finally am ready to paint and finish the kid's rooms, guest/kids bathroom, my room and bath, closet and other rooms.. Have had a to do list since summer and finally almost done. Tonight crossed off a lot of items. This was the first week I didn't buy or spend on clothes since I am cleaning my closet and trying to make room along with get rid of stuff I don't wear. Won't lie hit target today and grabbed some marked down items for next year, my favorite new jogging style sweats they had in my size in a color/pattern I didn't have lol, and got a couple cute spring items. 

Stay tuned tomorrow for some closet updates, super cute navy and white blazer from Target outfit of the day from Tuesday, and hopefully I can get on track, I would like to post a outfit daily. Also post home decor and design post as I finish with before and after shots, bargain and shopping hauls, with details on prices and where to find. Then more health and fitness articles. 

For those who have followed my battle with migraines will have a update next week on my Botox treatments. Had been over a year now since my first post about it and it has been a life changer. Have some tips and some facts about it along with some of the downs and outs of it but all around it is amazing. I am only saying downs because my next treatment is coming in a few weeks and I am getting mild headaches and had my first migraine since my injections on NOv 25. Always a downer when it wears off. 

Hope you like my room and the direction it is going. I am excited for the changes and love sleeping in my new bedding so cozy. Happy home decorating and bargain shopping, don't forget Target had that bed and bath sale with coupon, then cartwheel app has many deals for clearance apparel and lots of deals for home drove. And those fabulous poufs I posted last week marked down to $41 are $29.98. I have gotten two and waiting for them to lower the lighter blue one which was still ringing up 41.98. 

Off to bed. Thank you again for your support and please leave me some comments. I have seen my views have sky rocketed since the new year again and a lot of you are reading or passing by, feel free to follow me here or on blog lovin, and I always love to read your comments and feed back.

Thursday outfit

A little cool weather outfit of the day, had to throw this together quick today after having a scare at my daughter's school not long after I dropped her off. Just finishing cleaning and organizing my closet, which has made getting dressed so much easier. 

Little collage of some of my favorite shots. 
Before the scarf and fingerless hand warmer style gloves. Have on a basic black tank top from Old Navy, super cute and baggy, off the shoulder, lightweight cream sweater with a black heart from 2chicsandacause, also the cream and black boot cuffs are from same shop. Found them on FB and they also are on IG. Black leggings were a Christmas gift from my mom and she said they are from Marshall's, they are super soft and lined. Boots are Steve Madden and found these at TJ Maxx in black and brown on clearance at Marshall's not long after. Love them. Obsessed, also target had a similar look in same height and I have a taller pair I got at target on clearance recently. 
Here you can see the amazing cute scarf that can be worn many ways, had super cute button detail and was from Walmart, another great gift from my mom. The gloves or fingerless hand warmers are black and have a cute button detail, found these on eBay for $3. 


Have some amazing spring stuff coming soon. Loving pastels and prints, silk shorts with lace trim and lots of sandals. I love peach, coral, aqua, mint, and light yellow. Can't wait to show some cute things I have found. Enjoy and happy shopping. Xoxo

Sunday sunset

Was going to include some of the photos I captured with my iPhone when we went to take photos of the sunset Sunday evening in my last post but forgot. I also took some amazing shots with my Nikon D610 but have not uploaded any of them because I have been so busy cleaning and organizing my house this week. 

Below are a few shots, please do not steal or repost my photos without my permission. I like to share my photos but don't like to find them being used by others without being asked or acknowledged. 

Thank you and enjoy this stunning sunset from our amazing Everglades national park. 





I was excited to have a few pages feature my shots. It has been hard to get as many features with my Instagram set to private but hoping I will be able to remove the privacy setting soon. 

It was such a stunning night with the sky starting out pastel colors and as the sub lowered turning to red and orange bright colors. Was so lovely. Will have more to share once I upload my camera shots but wanted to share a couple of t favorites. 

Please share your blog link or photos with me along with leaving comments. I love to hear from everyone and please remember keep it kind. 

Always be you and be happy

My ootd from Sunday

Sunday night we had some amazing weather here. I know a lot of you are having some crazy weather and hope everyone is keeping warm along with saying safe. Here we don't get much cold weather and it is always a nice change. Sunday I decided to layer up and wear some items I have not gotten much use out of but am looking forward to wearing while in vacation next month. 

We decided to take a trip out west to Holiday Park in the Everglades for the sunset. I got some amazing photos of the sunset along with meeting some amazing ladies from IG while I was there. I always love to meet other ladies who have a love for photography like I do. Also it's fun to meet people from Instagram. 

For my outfit I wore a pair of Americsn Eagle jeans that I love. I love many brands and some are more expensive then others but when I am looking for an inexpensive pair of nice fitting jeans I always hit the American Eagle outlet. Even their regular stores always have amazing sales along with a great clearance section, but the outlet has a huge clearance area and always has the jeans on sale for half of what they retail for. I love their skinny jeans and super skinny jeans. They are soft, fit amazing and for $20-25 can't beat it. 

I paired those with a eBay find white tee that has a quarter of the sleeve ribbed and my favorite thumb holes for your finger, love this because I can keep my hands warm and don't need gloves or hand warmers. I layered with my Old Navy clearance vest in navy and white stripes, and brought my navy peacoat along in case I needed an extra layer as the sun went down. I also had my Burbery scarf in navy plaid and clearance mossimo boots from Target. Another amazing deal with cartwheel I found last week. 

Here is a flat lay shot of my outfit before I got dressed. Posted on IG

The tall navy socks with lace trim and bow were another eBay find, under $3 with shipping. They are super cute and tall. You can't see but the have a heart design on them. 


A selfie from IG of the outfit on once we returned home from taking photos.

I don't like to take bathroom mirror selfies but it is the easiest way to get the entire look without having to have one of my kids take a photo for me lol. I saw at Walmart they have the selfie stick that you attach your iPhone or phone to and can take pictures with. May invest for better photos for you all to see. 

Impressed myself because I got everything seen here on eBay or from the stores on sale at 50% below retail or more in some cases. Old navy had an amazing sale the day after Christmas online and target is killing it with sales. Will have a post shortly about my target finds and deals this week, including that pouf I posted last week that was on sale for $41, well I went back to get a few things with a giftcard I won got target and it was on sale for 29. Hope to get another one today. 

I have been working hard on spring cleaning. All week I have been cleaning my closet and dressing area, donating many items and will be selling more stuff. I will have some photos soon but first have to make a target run. Stay tuned for my cleaning shots and tips for organizing your closet. Also will have some shots of my bohemian inspired bedroom update, target finds and more outfits of the day, along with some weekly mail. Always gl email and to share my newest finds and deals. 

Enjoy xoxo

Target home decor

Target always seems to hit a home run with me. I love cartwheel and love the amazing prices they have on some truly amazing and stylish home decor. 

I recently have begun updating my girls bedrooms along with our guest bath which is also the kids bath, my bedding and added some new pillows and decor to our living room. All projects I started before the holidays but once the tree came out and all the decor had to put the updates on the back burner along with the spending to make sure the holidays were amazing for my kids. 

I got all new bathroom stuff, going with yellow and gray, with bushes nickel accents. 

Also got myself a new comforter in white with pintuck style stitching. Many high end stores have the same set got double or triple what I paid at target. The set was on sale and had a coupon. Make sure to upload the cartwheel app if you don't have it already amazing. You can scan the items as you add then to your cart and it will tell you deals or promos for each item. Love it. 

Also got my little one a pink shabby chic bedding set. It's a duvet cover because we all love our down comforters and duvet covers. We also all love our upholstered headboards lol, my little one will be getting a new gray, wingback tufted headboard in the next couple weeks I found online for an amazing price and will be posting. My oldest is taking her black leather, tufted headboard which I found on Craigslist for under 100. It ended up not firing the full size bed frame so my oldest decided she wanted it. 

I found amazing curtains to match the comforter set for my little one and a cute rug. Also got these super cute pillows for my living room. Homegoods is next door to my target so ran in and without even having the new pillows with me, which I usually bring them in but was crunched for time and forgot. I managed to find two pillows that match perfect to use to accent them. Now just need to find two aqua blue pillows and looking for a multi blue pillow to tie all the shades of blue together. 

Enjoy my photos below of my shopping trips from Friday and the week before. Make sure to stop in target and get that cartwheel app. I have saved hundreds already and just started using it every trip right before Christmas. Amazing deals and I love that. I am a bargain hunter 

A trip to one of the many targets in my area is always fun but I like to go to this one cause I have a Homegoods right next door to hit if I need any accessories I couldn't find. 
Saw these a couple weeks ago and was eyeing them, happy I waited went on sale from 24.99 to 19.99 then had a 25 off 100 and 10 off 50 bed and bath coupon I used for bedding and a 15% off home deal from Target.  
Had to get one of these cute Foo dogs to bring navy blue into my already aqua and teal blue Asian, Moroccan living room design. Only 12.99
Couldn't pass up this sale and they have an extra percentage off clearance items also on cartwheel app. Matches my new living room and have a aqua one from clearance before the holidays. Hoping to go back and get the navy throw before sale ends. 
 They look amazing, actually removed the pillows that came with the sofa and only have two left out of the ten that came with it lol. My hubby doesn't like pillows but we compromise cause I love them. 
Here is a close up of the two from target and then the two from home goods to show I didn't do bad matching them. Just need two lighter aqua blue shade pillows and one multi blue ombré maybe style to tie all the shades together, then want a red or orange one I saw at Target to tie in the shades of glass from my Moroccan  lanterns. 
This is the bedding I got for my bed on the left and on the right is similar to the style below I got for my daughter both from target. Both under $100 for the duvet and two shams. My set was after coupons 50 for a King and my little ones pink set after coupon an cartwheel was 60 for a full queen. 
Her bedding on the bed, she loves it and so does everyone who has seen it. Perfect shade of pink. Waiting on her gray wingback headboard then painting the green accent wall gray. 
These curtains match perfect and can't wait to put them up after I paint that wall. Also from target of course. 24.99 but check for coupons and promos. 
Our guest bath stuff. Also have some more items not in picture, another set of towels from target that are yellow with white floral, and a rug that matches. Curved shower curtain rod for that larger shower feel and some other misc accent items. 
These are from before Christmas my oldest decided to take her birthday money and gift cards to re do her room. We found this duvet set and sheets all in sale, amazing rugs, pillow and more. I also got her a chair in gray for Christmas, record player, throw blanket, another shag style gray rug for other side of bed and a marquee much up sign. We are also painting her room soon. Will be light gray. 
Photos of the bedding and rug 
The throw at end of bed I found at Marshall's 
Quick side note ladies, I scored shoes and boots for myself and my girls at 50% off then an additional 40% off that price with cartwheel promo. Got these boots which were 39.99 and another pair in black different style, marked to 19.98 and then 40% off that. Got two pairs or converse for my little one $3.48 each after sales and boots for 5 amazing. Also got some flannels, cardigans, dresses and other hot items from winter for all under 10. Amazing check it out. 
Feather art I found at Homegoods Friday hoping it fits over my bed. Love this and the colors are perfect. 

Hope you enjoyed my target decor finds and leave me comments please on your scores or links to your blog please
