HOW TO LOOK GLAMOROUS IN UTILITY PANTS AND A TEE
Does anyone know how much a farm in Georgia costs? I’m not sure myself, but it must be priceless. How many of you read my blog post yesterday? I asked if you still sent texts of sweet nothings to your spouse. Or, even better, does your spouse still send those sweet nothings to you? Joe and I have a silly saying that we say to each other, and it involves a farm in Georgia.
I’m not sure where Joe came up with this saying, but it is, “I love you more than a farm in Georgia.” That is his equivalent to me, saying, “I love you the whole sky full.” Aren’t we creative? Lol! So, after I wrote yesterday’s post, I decided to send him a message today while he was out working. I sent him the “more than a farm in Georgia” message, and then waited for his response. And, then I waited some more, and some more, and some more. He finally came home around 3:00 pm, and I asked him if he saw my message. His response…” yeah, I saw it.” ???? Let’s just say that my SKY is a lot smaller today with lots of clouds and a chance of rain. Haha!
I love a black t-shirt, especially in the summer. A black tee and jeans are so cute when worn together, and I highly encourage you to try that look sometime. Everyone should own a black, white, gray, and a navy t-shirt, and also a couple of brightly colored ones. I love a v-neckline the best for me, but I also have tees in crewneck and scoop neck. A tee is so versatile since you can wear it alone, under a jacket or cardigan, under a vest, and even as pajamas if you are like me. The v-neck black tee that I have on is from Target, and they are on sale for 2 for 14.00.
The key to making a t-shirt look glamorous is in the accessories. This Beckett necklace and the matching Beckett link bracelet are so elegant looking. I just found out a neat trick yesterday with this set. You can link the two pieces together, and that makes a longer necklace. Woohoo! I’ll be wearing it like on the blog soon. My earrings are a pair that I bought from the Lilly Pulitzer sale, but they are no longer on their website. BUT, I scoured the internet, and I did find them HERE.
These pants are fabulous!!! I wore these camel colored utility pants to my hairdressers on Tuesday, and as soon as I walked in the door, she wanted to know where I got them. I’ll be honest when I saw the word “utility,” I hesitated about ordering these. BUT, I am so glad that I did because they look amazing on you. Plus, they fit really well also and are very comfortable. I am wearing my usual Chico’s size in pants, which is a .5, and the fit is perfect. These will be great as we transition into fall so that you will get lots of wear from them. They also come in sage green, which I am thinking about ordering, especially since they are on sale.
Another way that you can make your t-shirt and pants look glamorous is by adding some cool and stylish shades. The ones that I am wearing are the Lucia by Lilly Pulitzer, and I love this pair. The thin gold bar over the lens gives this pair an extra air of sophistication and flair. These make quite a statement, and you will love these.
These shoes by Marc Fisher are old! I bought these when I first started blogging, and I still love them. However, that means that they are no longer available online. What I like about them is the neutral color that makes your legs look 8ft long. So, I went searching, and I found a few that I thought that you might like.

Your hair looks great!
I’m 5’5/5’6 give or take, 155lbs. Usually a size 10. What size would you suggest?
Kim, we are almost exactly the same size. So, if you are talking about the pants, I would suggest a .5 in those.
Actual conversation: “Did you think I was looked pretty on the day we got married? His answer, “I married you didn’t I?” I’m Reminded that men are just oblivious to us at times. You can’t live with em and you can’t just shoot em.
I love a classic look like this. It always works. Utility pants and jackets too are my favorites. Especially in shades of green. My fav color combo is pink blouse, sage green pants, pink sandals.
Always looking pretty!
I love your hair! I, too, have thick hair and it falls flat on top. No matter if I tease it or not, it still is too flat. I am going to have my stylist thin it some on top. I also like the way you have the sides. Do you use a round brush? Can you show us the back after having it cut this week in one of the post? Just remember you look “gorgeous”. Have a great weekend!
Cute outfit. Cuter saying. But sounds like my husband and we’ve only been married a few months! I’m always sending my hubby cute Avatars w mushy words, or sweet words of love and ignores most of them. It’s a blow to the ego! Then a couple days later they do something so sweet! That’s marriage. Looking forward to tomorrow’s cute outfit! We all love you dear!
What a delight it’s been stumbling across your blog. – especially from all the way over here in the not so sunny UK. I too am enjoying looking to see what you’re wearing each day… I have a pair of trousers just the same that have been hidden away in my wardrobe for a couple years… I’m now off to look them out again, and have treated myself to a pair of tan wedges too to go with them. Glad I didn’t throw them out now. ! X
Terrific look! Bought the pants. Love coming to your blog each morning to see the outfits.
I’ve bought quite a few things this season via your site. It’s been nice to “hit” some of the sales too.
Thank you for the wonderful ideas and putting it all together.
I hope he payed attention when you had this outfit on, you look great! It’s very figure flattering and youthful! I always forget about my utility pants. We’re going to be at our lake house with friends and their 30 something kids, so I have been trying to think of what to pack that is a little more youthful and flattering. I’ll have to try this!
I love this look. I definitely ordered the pants, at such a great price it’s crazy not to!
AGREED!!!
Absolutely love your outfit and accessories today. Your hair looks fabulous and you look very glam today.
Have a great weekend!
Awwww, thanks so much. I hope your weekend is fabulous!
You are so Funny, such a Great since of Humor!!
Love your hair style, how do you get such lift in the crown area??
May have to order those pants, too cute !!
Julie, I have thick hair, so when my hairdresser cuts my hair, she uses the thinning shears to have some shorter pieces in that area. That helps to hold the hair up, instead of it being so heavy and looking flat.
What size is your tshirt? Great outfit!
It is a size large.
Wow Tania! You look absolutely stunning!
Thanks!
I am confused about sizing at Chico’s. I follow your blog and know that you normally wear a size 10 as do I. When I looked at the sizing for Chico’s it said that a 10 is equivalent to a size 1.5 in their brand. Do I go ahead and order a .5 like you did? I hate returning things, lol.
Cindy, it has been a trial and error for me with the sizing for Chico’s. I like my pants to fit tighter, so I started ordering the .5 and it works great. I have only had one pair of pants that I ordered that was too small in the .5.
You look fantastic in this outfit! Thank you for the idea????
I’m glad that you liked it.
I have those pants in the sage color and have worn them so much this summer!
I love these pants. I already have a sage green pair in the girlfriend crops, but I love these so much that I think that I’ll order the sage also.
Does Chico’s sizes run large. I wear a size 10. What size do you recommend?
Yes, Robin, I have found that their sizes run large. I am a size 10 also in most brands, but with Chico’s, I always order the .5 and it has been perfect with the exception of one pair that was too small.
I love those pants. I have that color, and I have TWO pairs of the green (waited for the 40% sale). The green ones are softer than the tobacco color and it is hard not to wear them every day! I love the idea of wearing the tobacco color with the neutral heels, looks fantastic!
I already have a sage green pair in the girlfriend crops, but I love the color so I am thinking that I’ll order them in the utility ones also.
Oh your Joe is such a romanticus, ha ha. Have a great weekend.
