Alright ladies! Today we had Livi guest post what she thought would be a great outfit to wear to a picnic! Check out Livi’s blog for some more awesomeness!

Top (Plus size), Pants (Plus size), Vest (Plus size), Shoes, Necklace, Headband, Scarf, Ring, Earrings, Bracelet, Nail Polish, Lipstick, Sunscreen!

This outfit would be perfect for a picnic in a city park or a country meadow.  I prefer jeans to skirts and thats easier to picnic in anyway!
The vest is perfect to cover up and slim.  I’m all about the layering, its so convenient to pull something out of your purse when it gets cold or put something back in.
The key to this outfit is the accessories: they can be a symphony of organization if done right.  Go Big or Go Home I say. If its a little much for you, pick and choose.
Don’t be scared by the two finger ring either, they’re all the rage right now.  My good friend just sent me this ring and I keep it on a chain.  It can be worn either way.
My friends will all be surprised that I chose such small earrings but with so much going on, they would be the perfect thing.  And of course, above all, a scarf.
If I had to pick one accessory to take with me for the rest of my life it would be a scarf.  Its possibilities are endless and it can be removed if needed.  The model on target.com is totally wearing it wrong, (I would wrap it in a v shape bandanna style around my neck.)  The red of this scarf would look perfect against the dark denim and stripes.
Don’t forget your lipstick:   Sephora Brand Lip Attitude.  I live by it.
And since you’re not wearing a hat, don’t forget the sunscreen!!!  I like Bare Escentuals sun screen powder that can go right over face makeup.

Have fun! -Livi

Hey ladies! I don’t know about you, but I am super excited to have some fun picnics this summer! I am a plain jane when it comes to clothes, I’ve decided. But here’s my outfit! Enjoy! -Natalie


I love picnics, and my little ones are getting to the perfect age for picnics. One of the reasons why I love picnics is that I love picnic quilts! I love quilts of all types and although I don’t think I’m super-skilled enough or prolific enough to call myself a “quilter”, I’m someone who quilts and marvels at handmade treasures. Did you know that on ebay there are hundreds of finished quilt tops just waiting to be purchased and made into a perfect summer picnic quilt? I’m talking handsewn here people! Check it out, search any combination of the words: quilt top, vintage, antique, handsewn, etc. and find yourself a treasure.
