Welcome to the start of our summer in Arizona where temperatures are already 80 degrees when we get up in the morning.
Saturday
I didn’t mean to find something to purchase when we popped into a consignment store yesterday. But I recognized this skirt print since I thrifted the blazer a couple of years ago from Uncommon Threads. And I just had to get it.
You can see the blazer in ways to wear a sheer top.
The sweater cardigan is one that I am modeling for the Reelathon that is taking place July 4-5. It’s an Escada and will be auctioned off. I created 3 ways to wear the piece in a video. The event is raising money for a fabulous cause (ALL proceeds go to help Ukraine refugees).
So I hope you sign up so you can bid on items and share with others to help spread the word.
I didn’t have any high-end pieces to donate myself, so I am being a model/video maker instead. And I’m sure I’ll bid on some items. You should definitely sign up on their site to at least check it out when it happens!!
Sunday
It was a dress kind of day since it’s so hot and we are going to the neighbors for a housewarming party.
Can you believe the dress didn’t come with this belt, yet it’s so perfect??
Insider tip: I use a clear elastic to keep the end of the belt in place. (shown in this video)
The sandals are rose gold and I included a close-up of the earrings in the top photo. They are from Pam Neri and I love how they sparkle.
Monday
So you might be surprised I dressed in neutrals today. But I like to have variety in my looks, and I figured it’s fun to wear it all.
These suede shorts are the ones that I DIYed myself from a pair of suede pants I had thrifted but never really liked how they looked. So I cut them off (the steps and before and after here) since I figured I’d wear them more that way.
I loved this interesting asymmetrical ruffle on this ivory blouse that I recently thrifted. It’s more of a professional blouse that I would have worn while working, but there’s no reason to not wear it now. I understand a casual lifestyle, but I always feel better with some fanciness.
With these two neutral pieces, I decided to add color to the other elements.
The colorful shoes are ones I won in a giveaway. The scarf is on a belt loop.
Insider tip: Even though I love a scarf as a belt, this one is too small, and wearing it this way makes it easier for bathroom breaks.
I have multicolored earrings, a bright ring, and a bracelet. And if I were going out, I’d have a pink purse to carry.
Tuesday
Skirt: Gigi’s Boutique~~Top: Japna~~Shoes: Modzori~~Scarf: Zara
I wanted to show both the front and the back. Remember this top for one of next week’s posts!!
And I just saw a woman style a head scarf like this on TikTok, so I thought it would be fabulous as a way to camouflage a bad hair day PLUS be part of my “extra”. Plus even though the scarf is silk, it stays put without bobby pins.
Notice the “buckle” on my waistband. It’s actually a pin in the shape of Arizona. I’m loving wearing pins this way lately.
Wednesday
We are off to the Phoenix Art Museum for our monthly day date. I remember when I scoffed at the idea of a dress over pants. But there are many ways to make it work, and a shirt dress is an easy option.
In fact, I wore this shirt dress as a duster many, many years ago. In fact, I rarely wear it as a dress anymore, because it feels short especially in the front where the buttons are.
In all honesty, I really struggled to wear this dress when I first bought it. One reason is that I thought of it as a winter dress because of the long sleeves. But because it’s silk, it’s really better in the warmer months.
And I couldn’t figure out how to layer it to make it work for winter.
Heck, now I could easily think to wear a skirt over it and make it look like a blouse. Or even wear a sweater over it and have it look like a skirt. Which makes me glad I didn’t get rid of it.
I added a neon pink belt and shoes and then accessorized with white.
Friday
I’m wearing my favorite Halftee ever as a crop top. Why? One because it’s going to be over 110 degrees today. And two because I thought it would be a fun print mixing choice with these paper bag waist shorts.
Since the shorts are so baggy and loose, I thought the smaller/tighter top would work.
Maybe too revealing for some and maybe too much print for others. But it’s all for fun, right.
BTW, this top is really meant to be a layering item for modesty. And that is how I usually wear them. This waterfall variety of Halftee is just so stunning. If you order through my link, I do receive a small commission. Make sure to use the code JODIE20 for 20% off.
What I like is they are available in XS-6X and this style comes in white, black and this floral one.

The shorts are from Target in the kid’s section. I love the lightweight material and colorful stripes.
I added in white sandals and went pretty minimal on the jewelry today.
