SOMETIMES THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE
PLAIN AND SIMPLE
like a plain white dress
OR BETTER YET
a plain mother/daughter date
or
enjoying this simple, and extraordinary time in a daughters life
or
the plain and simple pleasure of having my two children together for an evening
or
seeing the plain and simple hug of two best friends on a special day
or
relaxing with the plain and simple beauty of your surroundings
and
being with your best friend
I guess you could say the plain and simple things bring me much pleasure.
Thanks so much for dropping by. Have a wonderful day finding the plain and simple things in life.
I’m heading over to visit with Patti, who also likes the simplicity of white, and the gals for Visible Monday.
Today I’m going to join Shelly @still blonde after all these years for her Verizon Voices Fashionista Style hop
I agree – plain and simple is the best! Love all these pics, and how we dressed in our whites the same day : > Thanks for sharing with Vis Monday.
Thank you Patti, and thanks again for hosting our weekly party.
You look so elegant! Love the white dress, nude shoes and classic accessories. The simple pleasures of family and nature are best! You have a beautiful family…and some exciting times ahead looks like! Debbie @ ilovemylemonadelife.com
Thank you Debbie and yes, it will be some exciting times ahead of us.
Just the perfect post for me to read this afternoon Trina. You have a beautiful family, and you share your life with grace and joy. You must be getting so excited about that little baby girl coming.

Oh, Sue, words alone cannot express the excitement I am feeling. My daughter and son-in-law recently moved to Omaha to finish dental school so having her home for this visit is wonderful.
So true that family and friends are what life is all about.
bisous

Yes it is!
Such a lovely post Trina. This white dress is perfect on you. The hem length, fit and simple yet elegant accessories are so pleasing to the eye. You have a real knack for looking great!
Your daughter looks just like you! You must be so proud to welcome a new life into your family.

Thank you Ann, you are so thoughtful and kind. I am so looking forward to meeting this new little girl.
The simple things are often the best! Love your white dress – it’s elegant in its simplicity!
Yes, having family together is always a joyous occasion…especially with a little one on the way!
Life doesn’t get much better than family time, does it?
Trina, I hope your daughter around him being great, is as beautiful as her mother. I love white dresses, soft and simple. Your look is gorgeous, the necklace is cute. A proposal just lovely.
Yes, having my daughter around for a visit is a beautiful thing. Thank you for your sweet compliments.
What a nice post, full of simple pleasures. I don’t know why I don’t have more white clothes – that dress looks great, and I bet it’s fun to accessorize. Your daughter looks gorgeous. Love her nautical look!
I love that white is such a popular color this summer. Both you and your daughter look gorgeous in white! It’s must be wonderful to have family time with your children 😉
Alicia
Alicia, it’s the best time of all! I totally agree with you, love having white a popular color this season.
This is a wonderful post, Trina. I love everything about it – your lovely family and being able to spend time together, the beautiful scenery around you and your absolutely stunning outfit.
The simple things, that’s what life is all about…

Thank you Annette.
OK, I am going to say what everybody says… I am not very original haha. You have so much love to give and getting. Wonderful. Happy person. Lucky person.
And your white dress looks gorgeous. Of course perfectly styled. For a minute I was thinking your daughter was wearing your maxi skirt. So nice that you are sharing this time with her.
She looks fabulous. And I love her black and white shoes. It is not easy to look stylish when you are pregnant, but she does a very good job.Say hi to her from me.
Greetje
Just said Hi from you, she was trhilled because I constantly talk about the fun and stylish friend I have named Greetje. Me husband has said I need to plan a trip next year so I can finally meet you.
By the way, I seriously did not even come close to looking stylish when I was pregnant (either time), so glad she didn’t take after me during this period in her life.
We have a beautiful shop in Amsterdam with clothes for pregnant women. I even considered becoming pregnant for it (JOKE). I would love you to come over. Sylvia and I had so much fun too.
It could seriously be a possibility next summer. Can you believe this cute girl has not had to buy any maternity clothes? She’s the type most girls really get mad at.
What a beautiful and sweet post! Thank you for sharing this wonderful sentiment, and lovely photos. You have a beautiful daughter- how could you not! Congratulations on the many happy events that are unfolding as we speak!

Thank you and thanks for dropping by today.
It was such a pleasure!! Consider me a very happy regular. XX,Elle
Your family is beautiful, like you. And soon to be a grandmother, which is very exciting!
Plain and simple becomes elegantly understated, with your white dress, beads and stylish shoes. You all look very happy, which is the best that life can be.
So well said, happiness is the best that life can offer.
Simply beautiful. I love the style of your post, your blog… and that amazing white dress! Although my style is branching out lately, simple styles still call to me like no other – they are just classic and can go anywhere. Absolutely beautiful! (and gorgeous family!!!)

Thank you so very much, and I agree with you, simple styles can so easily become classic (I need to try more of these simple styles).
This is one of my favorite of all your posts. You look very beautiful, and you can see where your adorable girl gets her looks! Yeaaaay… a baby girl on the way! I’m a fan of baby girls … so much fun. Any babies, really. Congrats on everything!
Thank you and I’m a fan of baby girl’s right now also, I would be a fan of baby boys too but I’m sure having a whole lot of fun gathering and decorating for this new little one.
Tried to post a comment on your new post but I’m not a member of yet and you didn’t have post as a guest. I’ll keep trying.
I love your white dress and you look wonderful in it with the wedge heels (one of my favourite styles). Your daughter looks so beautiful and thank you for sharing all the lovely photos!
Trina! What a classic beauty you are. (I seriously had trouble telling who was the mom and who was the daughter in the pictures with your glasses). Congrats on that upcoming grandbaby. That white dress you are wearing is the perfect example of classy understated style. Looks perfect. hanks for linking this up last week!!
