Another style staple that you should always have in your closet, easy to style and wear like this one. Since all the festivities this season are just weeks away, that is why I thought sharing this look will give y’all an idea. The white dots made it fun, and the color black and the fit of this dress made it classy and chic. Also this knee high boots is the best purchase I have ever done! It is worth all the money because I wear it all the time!

Back to the dress, I must say wearing a sweater dress is pretty common but if you wanna stand out in the crowd, wear something with other details like belts, buttons, sequins and just like this one. There are a lot of stylish sweater dress I complied to choose from that are under $100 I posted here.

There are a lot of different ways to style this dress, you can wear ankle boots in case the temp goes up. You can wear black stocking underneath it. Add a hat, a poncho and a long coat specially for weather. An Over the knee boots is also a good idea.

Another easy styling tips for y’all specially for all the ladies who wants to dress up quick (one and done!). But if you are looking for a simple day sweater dress, I would recommend getting something like this and this.

I hope you find this post helpful and would be happy if you’ll share this to a friend or family who are looking for some outfit inspiration.

Simplychristianne Version of DIY Family Halloween Costume

October 21, 2019 2 Comments

Since Halloween is next week. Sharing the easiest thing to do when you do not want to spend for Halloween costumes. Also check out my last years Halloween costume here as Audrey Hepburn.

It was a rainy Sunday afternoon and I was thinking of something to do. I came up with the idea of sharing some simple DIY Halloween costumes. We already own these outfits and did not need to buy anything new. Also those animal headbands we got from Dollar store from long time ago. The only thing is at least you should know how to do make up. There are a lot of Youtube tutorials you can watch
and Pinterest on how to do the make up. I have my own make up and did not need to buy.

Listed below are the items I used to create the make up look.

In just a short period of time, we already came up with this costume. For the outfits, You can always wear anything black and white and it will easily go with the make up. I’m not a make up guru I just did what I think looks like the cheetah and zebra.

I hope I was able to give you an easy and quick Halloween costume to make. Specially for me who is a mom of three. It can be costly to buy costumes when you are on a tight budget. This will help you save money and still make you and the whole family Halloween Party ready.

Family Fun Day at Dutch Wonderland

October 18, 2019 No Comments

Last weekend was a very fun experience. One of my co workers have given me 6 free ticket to Dutch Wonderland. I have never heard of it before but she was so excited to tell me a lot about it. It was just unfortunate for her that her ticket was expiring the day we used it so instead of her not using it at all. She said she will feel better if she will make other people happy by using it. Bless her heart (so when I came back I gave her souvenir from there).

If you live around Pennsylvania, like Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and New Jersey or Even New York. It is located at Lancaster. It is a very nice are because when I googled it. They have a lot of family friendly fun places around there.

Now let me tell you about our experience at Dutch Wonderland. This is perfect for families with little kids. If you don’t know, my kids are 9, 6 and a newborn. All their rides there are kids and family friendly. The kids really enjoyed it. It is unlike when you go to those famous theme park where a lot of grown ups go. When we go to those places, there are only few options for the kids that they can ride. In here, every ride is for them!

SHOP MY LOOK HERE:

They even have this sweet and delicious frozen banana covered with chocolate. Calling all banana and chocolate lovers out there!

They even have cool and different shows like this one. These guys did a lot of high diving. It was one splashy show and everyone enjoyed it.

They also have this cool exploration island. You can imagine yourself being in the Jurassic park on this side and a lot of sand that the kids can explore with their hands and play like how the kids will do.

I hope I was able to give you another place to go in case you are looking for something new. This is highly recommended by my whole family. The kids really asked us to take them here at least once a year. As much as we wanna come here more often. This is 2 and half hours away from us and we live in Southern Maryland. It was worth the drive.

Thank you so much for stopping by and maybe this weekend you might wanna check them out. The tickets are low now and they are only open on weekends this Fall.

Things to Buy in the Thrift Store

October 11, 2019 2 Comments

It was one Sunday afternoon after having lunch with the family at a Vietnamese restaurant. Before heading to the car, I spotted the Goodwill Store across and I was like. We have been dining to this restaurant for a longtime and been seeing that store but I have never been. So there we went and we actually had fun searching for a lot of things.

First tip, this is the best place to buy those expensive items like quality Winter Coats, boots, jackets because those items can be very expensive brand new. I remember before moving here in the US. We were still back home, we went to the thrift store to buy winter coats because they are nice quality and only costs us 100 pesos which was $2 a piece. You can’t beat that right?

But if you just want regular items like sweaters like the ones I was wearing here. I would rather buy new because there are a lot of them new and good quality too like these…

Just like these coats I bought from the thrift store they were only $12

It is just like a physical store like Ebay and Poshmark. And speaking of… you can follow me and shop my pre-loved items on my Poshmark here. This coat is good quality and real wool. And this Green coat as well.

Another good thing to buy are the big items like furniture, outdoor stuff, workout items.

So when we were looking around, I found this nice slightly used threadmill, I mean you can tell from the appearance of it. It is priced at $69.95 but it was 50% off (even better!) so We got it since we were renovating our home gym. It was truly as steal! I was also looking for a desk chair for my home Office and also found it there.

I hope you find this post helpful in deciding what to get from a thrift store.

Thank you for stopping by and have a nice weekend.

Tie Waist Surplice Mini Dress for Fall and showing off all other ways to style it transitioning from Summer to Fall outfit. It is still warm here in our area so I am still inspired to wear dresses and that can easily transition to cooler temps. Here is this soft and chic style dress that can be worn on any upcoming occasion you may have, be it wedding, cocktail parties and other events you might need to dress up with.

On the next photos I will show you how I styled it different ways just to give you an idea on how you can play with just one dress and use all other pieces you already won in your closet..

In here I just paired it with the still on trend white booties. I added a little bit of Fall vibe in this style.

on this one, if you are not into white booties, I have paired the dress with this trendy knee high boots. This color combo if perfect for Fall. You can never go wrong with mustard yellow and brown hues. Check this post I had last year with yellow dress.

In case the temp continues to drop, you can just add a trench coat to finish the whole look. I would go with a neutral colored coat to match this dress. I just had so much fun trying out different ways to style this fun dress. It just hide my imperfections on my mid section and the cut and the tie waist actually made this dress so chic. The material is so comfy and the back part I forgot to show is so fabulous. You will definitely love this style.

My Fall Casual Styles

September 30, 2019 No Comments

Happy Monday y’all! Today I am sharing all my Fall casual styles that you have not seen me post on the instagram feed. These are all my Fall casual styles I created wearing all the items I already have in my closet and just mix matching them creating different looks for y’all. These styles are easy to create and can be worn as an everyday style.

It is not really cold yet for me to wear these items yet as the weather is still feels very Summer here in our area in Maryland. But I am actually excited for this weekend as the weather is gonna be very Fall like. I can wear all my Fall outfits then while we go apple picking and pumpkin patch.

I am so blessed to be able to still enjoy last days of Summer because I definitely missed it as I was very pregnant. And so glad September was really good weather wise and enjoyed spending my maternity leave with the family. Tomorrow I will be returning to work and will really miss the time I spend home.

Leopard Print Dress and Knee High Boots

Leopard Print Dress and Knee High Boots is the trend everyone is crazy about and here is my version of it for this Fall season. I have posted different leopard print styles from the past year like leopard jacket,leopard coat and cardigan.

This print is so classic that it never go out of style and just keeps evolving in different ways to wear it from bags, shoes, headbands and a lot more.

As for the knee high boots, it is making its way to the trend as the over the knee trend is being overpowered by it. This boots is just right because it is in between of the ankle boots and over the knees. I have been looking for a good quality one and I even visited my local DSW store just so I can get to feel and try it.

There are still some things that we want to touch and try before we buy just like a good pair of jeans for me. So this knee high Franco Sarto boots is so comfy, the heel height is just right. If you were watching my instastories. I was looking into three different boots and the other two were Steve Madden. Even though this Franco Sarto is more expensive than the other two, I still chose it because I know I will be wearing it more as the color so is so versatile.

How about you guys? Does this print also makes you love it more this season, how about the python prints?

Let me know your thoughts and thank you for stopping by. See you again on the next blog post.

Front Porch Fall Decor

September 23, 2019 No Comments

SHOP THE POST:

Happy first day of Fall! I am finally sharing my front porch decor here on the blog. If you have been following me on Instagram you might have seen me post it on my instastory. I just wanna show you our simple home and this time I am being practical. I bought faux pumpkin from Michael’s instead of those real pumpkins which is pretty much the same price. I am actually saving money and you will too if you do the same and will not have to make those pumpkin be rotten.

As for the other stuff, I got me those scare crow this time. But I always of course have the Fall wreath and the fresh mums from Home Depot. I also always change my doormat every Fall. I usually don’t get the expensive ones so I can justify me getting a new one every year.

It is just so nice to have these decors every year. I am not really good keeping the flowers alive. But my mother in law who has a green thumb is here with us to the rescue. She always make sure that everything is well lit and hydrated.

Do you always decorate your front porch every season? Me, I only do it every Fall really and Christmas of course, just like last year on this post. Comes Spring and Summer I just change the wreath to compliment the season. Like I said, I cannot keep flowers alive and I am not happy seeing Faux plants or flowers outside the house either. I pretty much have it everywhere here inside the house.

Next up, I will show you how I upgraded the look of my dining room. I actually wanted to buy a new dining set but I do not have to budget for it yet so I just added something that changed its look and I love it, so I wanted to share.

Thank you so much for stopping by as always and have a wonderful week ahead.

Simply,

Christianne
