A Staple Piece | Utility Jacket Style

Spread the love

3 Ways to Wear a Utility Jacket | Part One | Having a great utility jacket in a closet staple for me. It's so versatile! Stay tuned in this series as I talk about how I change up the style from look to look. @jordwoodwatches @oldnavy @shoppinkblush @expresslife
Since coming back to Tennessee, we’ve really been enjoying the weather.  It’s so nice to have seasons again! We have been outside a lot lately because it’s been so gorgeous and pleasant.  With spring comes warmer weather, but it’s still a bit cool sometimes, especially in the evening.  I love my utility jacket and wear it often! It’s great because it can be paired with so many different things. It’s amazing how versatile it is! 

I love neutrals. You’ll find me in black, white, or gray most days.  So this creamy top is one of my favorites and pairs nicely with mostly anything.  This was one of my go-to looks this winter and I’m easily adding in lighter pieces to make it work the warmer it gets! You can’t ever go wrong with a skinny jean and if I wear jeans with this utility jacket, it’s always going to be skinnies! With the jacket being a bit more flowy, I think it’s more flattering to have a more fitted look on the bottom.  That always helps in balancing out a look and is always my rule of thumb.  If you’re going wider on the bottom, whether is a skirt or bell bottoms, choose a more fitted top.

Throw on a basic top, skinny jeans, and some cute booties with this utility jacket and you have an adorable, effortless look!  Add in a layering necklace like this druzy pendant and a trendy watch and you’re ready to go.3 Ways to Wear a Utility Jacket | Part One | Having a great utility jacket in a closet staple for me.

When I tell y’all my skin is better after this, I mean it. I wish y’all could see the difference between the texture of my skin before and after in person. My foundation goes on like butter and it’ll only get better with each treatment. The benefits are endless!! 🙌🏼 Now one of you ladies will get to come in and have your skin transformed, too!

✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. W ✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. We’re leaving Tennessee and moving back. ✨

We felt a nudge about 6 months ago to start praying about moving back to Louisiana. So, pray we did! Lots and lots of it. I swore we’d never leave Franklin, so I was a bit confused as to why the Lord had put this on my heart. But I know that His plans are always better than our own. Month after month I softened to the idea and he started working out all the details. 

During spring break we made a trip to Louisiana to see Daniel’s parents and to drive around with a move in mind. We couldn’t find any homes that we loved, so we started looking at land. Long story short, this property is close to my in-laws and had been on the market for over a year. Over an acre on a lake that hadn’t been scooped up. We truly feel that God held it for us. Our vision for this land is dreamy. It will give us what we’ve wanted which is a bit of land that we could turn into our little oasis, it offers some privacy, and allows us to be close to family. 

We closed on the land two weeks ago, put our house here in TN on the market last Friday, accepted an offer on Monday, and started the details of our new home build. The boys will finish out school and then we’re heading back south in early July. It’s all happened fairly quickly but we know it’s what we’re supposed to be doing and we’re at peace with it all. It’s going to be very bittersweet to leave. We love Franklin/Nashville and our community here, but we’re excited about a new adventure and to be around family.
Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know I’m not alone. I love the taste but I’m not crazy about what it does for my teeth. ☕️😁

I’m not a fan of whitening strips at home because it always makes my teeth sensitive. I was so excited to get in with @nationsdentalstudio because they offer professional teeth whitening that’s quick. I was curious to see if I’d have the same experience in the office that I have at home Thankfully, that wasn’t the case. 

I was in and out with whiter teeth within an hour. I had minimal discomfort for the first 24 hours and only needed one session. This is definitely the easiest way to get your pearly whites even brighter! Ten out of ten in my book! Not to mention, this is the most chic dental office you’ll ever see. 😍

I’m very thankful for this guy right here. We’ I’m very thankful for this guy right here. We’ve really been living the “for better or worse” and “through sickness and health” bit of our vows the past month.

We got back from Montana and a couple of weeks later I got pretty sick from Covid. He stepped up and was Mr Mom taking care of the boys, me, and everything in between. 

Then the next week he was in an accident.  A guy ran a red light and plowed into him. We gained a little perspective that day. We’re so grateful that God protected him and he came home to us that day. He’s had some issues due to the wreck and we’re praying for answers, direction, and healing. Prayer warrior friends, would y’all mind joining us?

One thing we’ve been reminded of through all of this is that we aren’t promised tomorrow. Be sure to tell your people that you love them and show that. Be intentional about memory making and spending time with the ones that matter. We’ve got to make the most of your days.
We’ve realized a few things during this incredib We’ve realized a few things during this incredible trip to Montana. 🏔

1️⃣ - Slowing down and soaking in the outdoors
is so good for the soul. 
2️⃣ - Not having cell service isn’t the worst thing in the
world. It’s actually kind of a blessing. 
3️⃣ - We want to travel A LOT more.
4️⃣ - We can handle freezing temps a lot better
than we thought. 🤣🥶

We aren’t promised tomorrow, so we should make the most out of every single day. Book the trip. Travel somewhere that takes your breath away. Make the memories. You’ll never regret it. 

Montana has been done that for us. We’ve continued to be blown away with its beauty. There’s adventure and peace at every turn. We’re leaving tomorrow with memories that will last a lifetime, many “firsts” with our sweet boys, and a itch to get back as soon as possible! 

I have tons of pictures and videos from the past week. I can’t wait to share more with y’all once I’m home and have more time. I’ll also be putting together a blog post with all the details, so stay tuned. 

Thank you, @yellowstonecountry, for this unforgettable trip! We’re so sad to leave Montana, but we will absolutely be back!
That’s it. We’re packing up and moving to Mont That’s it. We’re packing up and moving to Montana! 😍 🏔 

I’m kidding. Maybe. Really though, once you’ve been consumed with this level of beauty around every corner, it’s hard to go back to anything else. 

We drove over to West Yellowstone and had the time of our lives today on our snow coach tour. We got to see two states in one day…Montana and Wyoming! There were Buffalo up close and personal, wolves, eagles, and Old Faithful! I can’t wait to show you everything! 

I had zero phone service all day. It was peaceful and glorious. I took a million videos and photos that I can’t wait to share with y’all. Going to recharge and put some amazing videos together for y’all. This has been the trip of a lifetime! Thank you for that, @yellowstonecountry! Montana has my heart! 🤍
