Centsibly Southern Chic

I always enjoyed writing for local magazines and companies when I had CentisblynSouthernChic.

This popped up in my memories, so I updated it to reflect some recent changes in styling. I loved helping women build their confidence and encouraging them to embrace new styles. It was truly inspiring to see them feel great both inside and out.

Spice Up Your Style: Easy Tips to Rock Prints and Color

Fashion is all about having fun and showing off your personality. I’ve always loved playing around with prints, colors, and patterns, but it wasn’t always easy. It took small steps to build up my confidence, and now I love adding a little something extra to my look.

Ready to step out of your style comfort zone? Here’s how to start:

1. Dip Your Toes in Prints: Start with accessories like a printed belt, purse, or scarf. It’s an easy way to try prints without going all in.

2. Pop Some Color: Add a bright scarf, fun headpiece, bold jewelry, or a colorful purse to your outfit, all while keeping the rest of your look neutral. This approach lets your colorful pieces stand out and makes it easy to integrate new elements into your wardrobe.

3. Color Block Like a Pro: Find a patterned piece in your closet and use it to mix and match colors. Start simple with solids and add a splash of color here and there.

4. Play with the Color Wheel:
• Next-Door Neighbors: (e.g., yellow and green, blue and purple).
• Opposites Attract: (e.g., yellow and purple, blue and orange).

5. Get Inspired: There are so many fashion influencers out there, each with a unique style. Check out their social media to find a look you love—they often make it super easy to shop right from their accounts. Fashion has changed so much since my days of styling, and now you’ve got all these different styles right at your fingertips. It’s not just easy and stress-free, but it can also be super affordable.

6. Switch It Up: Don’t stick to one look—try out new trends that catch your eye.

And last but not least, be confident in yourself and your choices. Mixing prints and colors is easier than you think. Take these simple steps, and you’ll be rocking a fresh new style in no time. Go on, give it a shot—you’ve got this!

Daddy daughter date night ❤️💕

“Love receiving text messages of my artwork hanging up in my friends’ houses. What a delightful treat!”

We got to celebrate Lills birthday a day early at her school. It was so fun. 🎉

Thank you all for the sweet birthday messages. The texts, phone calls, and Facebook messages made my day extra special. Love you all! 🫶❤️

“I love my new branding machine. If you look closely, you can see that I burned my artwork. It’s a fun new way to paint. ❤️ I added a little color to a few of the pieces.”

I always pray over my artwork and include one of my favorite verses on the back. This year, I had less time to devote to my craft due to the current season of life. Nonetheless, I’m grateful for friends who let me share my gift, even with limited time. Thank you for your patience. My prayer is that this piece blesses you as much as it blesses me to create it for you.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Handey family.
