MEET Carrie

Hello friend!

Just sharing a glimpse of my world… which includes fashion for the middle aged gal, health, easy recipes, decor, family and coffee! Oh, and I may share some cute ragdoll cat photos on here from time to time.

My wish is that you take away something each time you visit Curly Crafty Mom. I enjoy the simple pleasures in life, such as a warm cozy blanket, an iced coffee (even in the winter) and ALL the ways to make life calmer, easier and a JOY to wake up to each day. Life is short, let’s make each day count!

Spring layers are officially having their moment a Spring layers are officially having their moment and I’m loving this combo from Maohao on Amazon! 🤍✨

This cropped trench is such a fun twist on the classic style. The funnel neck and extra-long removable belt make it feel a little more elevated, but still easy to throw on for everyday wear.

And underneath… this soft fuzzy sweater that might be the coziest thing ever. ☁️

It’s the kind of outfit that feels polished but still comfortable enough for a full day out.

Do you like the cropped trench trend this spring? 🌷

One of the most fun things about this dress… I a One of the most fun things about this dress… I actually got to customize it myself! 👗✨

When @tale_thread reached out, I loved the idea of designing a dress that fit exactly how I wanted it to. The process was surprisingly easy and so fun!

Here’s what I chose for my dress:

🎀 Neckline: V-neck�💪 Sleeves: Elbow length�✨ Hemline: Above the knee

When the dress arrived, I was honestly so impressed with the quality and how perfectly the customization turned out. It’s such a cute, flattering dress for the spring and I love that you can design the details to fit your own style. ☀️🌸

I shared the customization process in this reel so you can see how it works! You can also find more details https://bit.ly/46Pw9CG or in my profile. 💕
