A question came up today among my fashion friends on how to make a dress

that was below the knee look good with boots and jackets as it felt too dumpy…

I’d had that exact issue a few weeks ago when I wore my striped dress to 

Parent’s Night Out and this is how I fixed it… 

Today’s color for the challenge was Yellow… 

I began this with my Old Navy Pixie Pants that I bought to got with my 

Steelers gear.  I’ve also worn it with non -gear beause they are versatilve… 

Here is a way I styled them this past Summer… 

I love a print pant because they really make a solid top more special…

I turned this into a Sporty Luxe look by adding my sneakers.. 

It was practical for my active laundry day!  

It’ was colder today so the turtleneck and hat were great for my outside trash runs…

Dear Readers, Pairing these pants with Green and Blue or my Black & Gold Steelers tops are my first instincts…

Of course I named my blog Verstatile Style because I want a variety of ways to wear each piece… 

Any thoughts on other colors I should try with these yelow print pants?  

Self Care

Well today my husband was home so we decided to give the cottage cheese and fruit a try… 

I have to say with just juice from the fruit I could taste the salt and didn’t like that. It was better

when I added a bit of Truvia to it and in fact reminded me of our favortie Peaches and Creme cheesecake. 

I however am concerned about the amount of sodium and don’t think this will be a go to snack for me unless I check other 

options to see if they are all that high.  I did end up eating Pumpkin seeds and an apple instead for my lunch.  I have to 

 the 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds were very satisfying and had only 35mg of  sodium and packed a good 10 grams of protein.  

Gratitude

I am grateful that I finally gave cottage cheese a try as it had been on my radar for quite awhile. 

I am grateful for the fun time trying the new food was for us as our little family of 3. 

I am grateful that my sinus equilibrium issue went away and allowed for my active day…

I am grateful for the inspiration to do the video as it was so much fun and for the eager willingness of my son to record it for me.. his support with my blog photos is amazing!
