Hello and thank you for stopping by the relaunch of my Stylish Gimp blog. You can giggle. It’s okay. It’s not ALWAYS a bad word. Let’s kick up our feet and dive in to who I am and what this Blog is all about!

If you’re completely new, I’m Priscilla and I am stay-at-home mom to 3 boys, ages 7-13 (summer 2018). I am married to Charlie and we will celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary in December. Where, oh where does the time go!?

My youngest baby started kindergarten in 2017 (sad face) and I decided to take a break from my Mommy blog. My boys are way beyond the age of wanting me to write about them, so I have to respect those boundaries.

Welcome! (Again)

I’m sure I will still find myself on the other side from time to time, but for now this is my new space, so WELCOME!!

I have missed the blogging community so very much but I desperately needed that break so I could just soak in my new normal. It was the first time in almost 13 years that I did not have a little one at home. It’s a strange feeling. I think I like it, but I do miss squishy little fingers and toes.

Oh, but wait. It’s the middle of summer. I actually do have my kids (plus some, sometimes!) home and I am not afraid to admit I’m loving (mostly) every minute and I am not ready for them to go back. Wine may or may not be helping.

Every person who knows me, knows I love clothes. What better solution than to relaunch my very old, very defunct fashion/style blog? I have decided to keep all my old posts on the other blog and start fresh and new here.

If you want to take a look back, you can check out my old fashion posts here.

My primary focus will be mainstream clothes and how I find pieces at regular department stores and resale shops (my favorite!!). I make all these pieces work when sitting down (duh). Some items are better than others and even standing women have issues with fit. Am I right?!

Let’s kick off this party with three of my favorite recent outfits. Ironically I’m only wearing 1 thrifted piece. That will not be the norm.

The Baby Shower

I wore this bright and cheerful dress to my niece’s baby shower. She’s having a sweet baby girl, so the pink was an obvious choice. I’m tickled pink to be a great aunt again. This will be a bittersweet birth, as it will be the first baby born after losing my mom.

The Impulse Summer Favorite

I picked up this fantastic top at Marshall’s. It screams summer. I was a little scared at first but now I’m kind of in-love. The shorts are some mega high end brand but I think I paid less than $5. Yay, goodwill!! I love finding amazing pieces for pennies on the dollar.

The Workhorse Playsuit

This cabi jumpsuit (actually called the playsuit!) has been a major go-to. It’s incredibly comfortable and versatile. I can lounge on the couch in it or bling it up for date night. I don’t say this often, but it was well worth the triple digit price tag. ($118 ish) Cabi wins, yet again. They are usually my biggest splurges of the year.
