Fashion Friday: Edition I’m in Dallas

March 24, 2023 ·

I’m siting in a hotel room in Dallas with Gulley and I will tell you that we have already solved 68% of the world’s problems and we still have one more night to go.

We’ve also looked at a lot of cute clothes on the internet and here are some cute things I’ve found this week:

1. pilcro romy relaxed button-down

I have never ever been a big fan of lavender, but it is really pulling me in this spring. I love these relaxed button-downs because they are so soft and easy to wear.

This is $90 and comes in other color options.

2. mille Blair blouse

I realize this is a pricey blouse, but it is a standout top if you are in need of such. This would look so great with a pair of wide leg jeans.

This is $178.

3. free people Elena printed top

Free People has a whole Daisy Jones collection right now and this top is part of it. These colors are everything and this would look so cute with white jeans or denim shorts for summer.

This is $128.

4. groovy baby maxi kaftan

A few summers ago, Gulley and I declared it the summer of the kaftan. And we were going to embrace our inner Mrs. Roper from Three’s Company. It was a delightful time and I’m not sure why we gave up on the kaftan because it is an easy way to feel fancy in what is essentially a nightgown.

This is $98 and comes in other colors. It would be great for vacation or to wear over your swimsuit.

5. venice beach flare jeans

I love these Venice beach flares. They feel like yoga pants but look like jeans. And this pink is so pretty.

They also come in other colors and are $88.

6. it was easy floral top

I’m really looking for pretty tops to wear with jeans and this one is great.

This is $60.

7. gap linen weekend tunic shirt

I love Gap linen shirts and this tunic length one is a new addition. It would be great worn over a swimsuit or open with jeans.

It’s $79.95 and comes in several colors.

8. new balance 574 sneakers

Love these New Balance 574 sneakers. They are one of my favorite pairs of just casual daily sneakers.

They are $85.

9. heynuts buttery soft leggings

Gulley and I had a whole discussion about athleisure and the need to occasionally refresh your leggings collection. It reminded me that these are my absolute favorite. I like them better than Lululemon and they’re just $28.99.

They come in a ton of color options.

10. C9 Champions active tank

And if you have new workout leggings, then you may want new workout tops. These tanks are my favorite and I own about six different colors. The length is good, they aren’t clingy and they wash and dry like a dream.

They are $16.99.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

    Hope you & Gulley enjoy your weekend together -see if you can convince any of those many On the Border Mexican Cantinas in the Dallas area to make a move to San Antonio or even the RoundTable pizza in Frisco- then all my favorite foods would be in San Antonio!
    Drive safe, stop at Bucc-ees.

Who is Melanie?

Melanie ShankleMy name is Melanie and, in some strange twist of fate, I’m also known as Big Mama because I started this blog in July of 2006 when my daughter, Caroline, was not quite three years old and I was in the process of convincing her that BIG girls use the potty and BIG girls don’t have pacifiers, thus she thought BIG was the highest compliment in the land and began referring to me as BIG MAMA.Read More
