Styling Pantone’s Mocha Mousse: Wardrobe Tips & Outfit Ideas

dousedinpink — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 05:00:00 +0000

I’m super excited to share today’s post! The Blonde Squad is back: Andrea from Living on Cloud Nine, Caroline from The Petite Fashionista, Kathrine from Kathrine Eldridge Wardrobe Stylist, and Laura from I Do deClaire. We have a fun collab to kickstart spring – we’re all styling Pantone’s color of the year, Mocha Mousse. Pantone announces its Color of the Year every year, setting the tone for fashion and design trends. For 2025, the spotlight is on the color Mocha Mousse, a rich, warm brown that’s both sophisticated and versatile. This neutral tone is easy to wear and pairs beautifully with a variety of shades. If you’re wondering how to incorporate this color into your outfits without feeling like you need to buy a whole new wardrobe, you’re in the right place. Here’s how to style Mocha Mousse and create fresh outfit combinations with pieces you may already own. Why Mocha Mousse Is Actually Pretty Perfect Brown has been creeping back into fashion for a while now, so Mocha Mousse feels like a natural next step. It’s warmer than taupe, softer than chocolate, and looks good on pretty much everyone. The best part? It’s one of those colors that works year-round. In the fall, it gives cozy…

Spring Finds from Target + Blog Hop

dousedinpink — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 05:00:22 +0000

Happy Monday, Friends! I’m excited to share today’s post with you because the Blonde Squad is back with a fun collaboration and blog hop. We’re each sharing our spring finds from Target. We gave ourselves a max budget of $100 to shop and did not limit ourselves only to fashion. We couldn’t have timed this collaboration better. I got more bang for my buck with Target’s circle week deals. It’s going to be interesting to see what everyone got! Here’s what $100 got me at Target Spring Fashion Finds Some of my favorite dresses have come from Target, and I know I’ll be reaching for this sleeveless rib knit dress all spring and summer long. The ruching detail is flattering, and it runs true to size. Cost $15.85. Birkenstocks are on my wishlist every summer, but I’ve never pulled the trigger because you can find more affordable options like these buckle slide sandals. I choose white, but they come in multiple color options. They run big, so size down. Cost $7.20. Classic greens are in this spring, and when I saw this darling Knotted Net Clutch in green, it immediately went into my cart. I love the netting…

Cropped Tweed Jacket Two Ways (Part 2)

dousedinpink — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 06:00:53 +0000

Welcome friends! If you’re here, you probably realize now that I am not Jill! She is away on vacation, so I am holding down the fort (or the link up!). If you followed my blog link, welcome to part 2 of styling a cropped tweed jacket. CROPPED TWEED JACKET TWO WAYS Since I’ve already shared how to style the cropped tweed jacket casually, let’s dress this beauty up! I love the idea of wearing it with slacks. Skinny or wide-leg slacks work equally well. Add a heel, and voila! This versatile jacket shines! TWEED JACKET WITH WIDE LEG PANTS Wide-leg pants, whether cropped like mine or full length look great with the more fitted style of the cropped tweed jacket. It’s all about proportion, so the wider bottom is balanced by the more structured jacket. SKINNY LEG SLACKS AND TWEED JACKET The skinny leg pants from Loft work because the jacket isn’t skin tight. I added a blouse with more volume, too, and that helps with balance and proportion. I wouldn’t think twice about wearing this to work or church, but it’s so comfortable I’d wear it out to dinner too! I…

Girl’s Weekend Getaway Planning Tips

dousedinpink — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 05:00:10 +0000

A few weeks ago, I hinted that I was heading out of town for a girl’s weekend getaway with Andrea (Living on Cloud Nine), Laura (I Do DeClaire), Kathrine Eldridge Wardrobe Stylist, and Caroline (The Petite Fashionista). Today, I wanted to share the recap of our weekend. It was the perfect balance of relaxation, socializing, and fun. You can watch all my videos on my Instagram stories #theblondsquad highlight. Initially, we planned a weekend in the city, but when Andrea offered to open up her home to us, we didn’t think twice. Andrea’s home is a beautiful retreat, and she outdid herself as a hostess. We left bright and early on Friday morning. Kathrine was kind enough to drive and picked up Laura and then headed into the city to pick up Caroline and me. When we arrived at Andrea’s, she greeted us with rum punch and raspberry vodka lemonades. And after getting settled in, the most fantastic lunch spread was waiting for us, including a colossal charcuterie board from a local business, Graze by Erica. There were lots of gifts exchanged. Laura made us the prettiest etched wine glasses monogrammed with our initials…

Blogging Tips to Grow Your Blog Hi Friends! Did you have a good weekend? I went to a friend’s in-person cabi styling event (more to come later this month). Saturday night, we joined friends at an Italian restaurant where I had the best risotto with pears, walnuts, and gorgonzola. And we finally finished our family room refresh, which I’ll share soon. Today the Blonde Squad is back: Andrea from Living on Cloud Nine, Caroline from The Petite Fashionista, Kathrine from Kathrine Eldridge Wardrobe Stylist, and Laura from I Do deClaire. But, instead of sharing spring fashion, we’ve switched things up and are talking about all things blogging.

Simple Jewelry Organization | Guest Blogger Heather Loves Home

dousedinpink — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 05:00:03 +0000

Hey, y’all! I am Heather from Heather Loves Home and I love earrings! And when you love earrings, you must have a fun way to organize them. Did I mention that I also love necklaces? Which means I need a fun way to organize those also, right? Check out these simple jewelry organization ideas for earrings and necklaces that I use in my closet. When I decorate a space (like my closet) that is mostly only seen by me, I don’t like to spend a lot of money. I also like to put a lot of my personality in the space and have some fun with it. I found the perfect items for this space from places like Dollar Tree, Hobby Lobby, Home Goods, and even a yard sale. Other than the small piece of artwork hanging on the wall, I let the simple jewelry organization do most of the decorating. The white rack you see here came from Dollar Tree and of course, it was only one dollar. I love using it to display my necklaces. Not only does it look pretty, but it also helps me see what I have without digging around…
