Sherry Hart on Instagram
I know many of you have probably followed Sherry Hart for years. Sherry Hart’s style—both in decor and dress—is a refined study in understated elegance. Her work and wardrobe nod to the power of a neutral foundation enhanced by texture, vintage elements and an uncanny knack for mixing the unexpected. Her gallery walls are in a class by themselves. You can follow Sherry on Instagram here, or on her website here.
Sherry’s wonderful gallery wall in her own home. I love that she has barely changed it over the years. A testament to the timelessness of her designs.
Sherry is a master at elevating taking a small space and making it fabulous.
Sherry excels at repurposing what her clients already own, giving their spaces a fresh new look. This is a new project that she hasn’t yet completely shared.
Taco Salad
I hadn’t had taco salad in years until my daughter made it during a visit a while back — and it instantly brought back so many memories. It was a staple in our home when the kids were growing up. The other night, I decided to make a lighter, healthier version for dinner and invited our dear neighbors to share it with us — and I found myself wondering why I hadn’t made it in years.

Outfits of the Week
This week for fun I came up with three black and white outfits in three different price ranges. For fun before you check prices, see if you can guess which is the least and most expensive.
Many of you ask for extended Sizing so here you go. The shirt, and pants (I have the shirt on order and own the pants in black and love them) both come in extended sizes. The bag (I own as well), sandals, hat, sunnies, and earrings complete the ensemble.
Love the textural mix of this lace shirt, and eyelet pants, combined with the bag (that I own and have carried all over the country in the last couple years, woven sandals and hat (packable and sturdy). Tortoise earrings, bracelet, and sunnies round out the mix.
Eyelet pants, lace top ,cane tote, highly rated simple sandals, chic earrings, straw hat and sunnies for the win!
I Would Love your Thoughts
Do you have any suggestions for future post ideas? I would love to hear your ideas!
As always, thank you so much for being here. I hope you like our new email server. I see many of you that got dropped by mailchimp are back, and I am so pleased about that! I hope you enjoyed How Texture can Elevate your Home and Wardrobe & More Sunday Fun. You can find any Sunday favorites you may have missed here. By the way, which outfit did you think was the most costly, and the most reasonable?
Now let’s pop over and visit Mary Ann and Annie. Annie is still in France.
Sherry Hart is amazing. I have followed her for years and love all of her projects! And I love her outfits of the day many of which are thrifted, proof that you do not have to spend a lot to look stylish and amazing.
Taco salad, I love it! I usually make mine with sweet potatoes, and then put the taco meat on top.
Cindy you could write anything an I would read it. I love all of your posts!
Cindy, love Sherry’s work…our mountain cabin, which we visited infrequently, is now where we are spending most of the summer to get out of the Phoenix heat. I feel like it needs a major do-over and seeing Sherry’s work is giving me the itch to take on this project. Love the black/white outfits~so classic. Also, really didn’t think of taco salad but now I will try and prepare it this week. Been traveling a bit so not checking in as frequently, but hope to catch up on all your posts. Have a wonderful week!
Hi Mary
I hadn’t made the taco salad in years either! Easy and healthy-my two favorite words!!
Love all three outfits! Perfection.
Hi Cindy Lou
I do too and can’t wait for my black top to arrive!!
I’m on board with the taco salad gang! Taco salads are one of our favorite summer rotation meals too. Thanks for the 3 outfit choices with different price ranges. Very nice.
I’d really be interested in hearing more about non invasive treatments for faces as we age. Best treatments and options. I’m seriously considering permanent eyebrows and eyeliner as my brows get thinner and my eyeliner seems to disappear so quickly. We have a girl in a local spa that does amazing work! Also with the loss of skin elasticity, I’m unfortunately seeing larger pores. Help!
Hi Lee
I am working on a series about non-invasive treatments right this very minute! I will be interviewing my favorite girl Kelly for an upcoming post!!
Love Sherry. Master if Sarcasm and Bathrooms!
Hi Karen
So true!! She is hilarious and oh so talented!
Taco salad is one of my top five favorite meals.
Hi Janette
I don’t know why I forgot about it!!
I like the first outfit the most as it is simple. I don’t care for the over all holes in my clothes. I love taco salad but can no longer eat it. The galley wall is lovely and timeless. Have a lovely Father’s Day with your husband.
Hi Sydney
Thank you so much! The first outfit is my favorite too!!
I love your outfits of the week. How about a column on sunglasses, regular glasses and readers. I would like that.
Hi Christine
I have done a post on glasses but maybe it is time for an update!! Why not?
Love your style! Idea for future posts… travel outfits, capsules, etc. I’m going to Italy in October (with a group tour). I REALLY want to pack lightly!
Agree–Sherry Hart is so talented.
All the outfits are great. I’m a big fan of the first one for its simple elegance ( although I do prefer the bag in outfit #2).
The first photo outfit was the cheapest and the 2nd the most expensive? My guess.
Now here is a post I’d like to see…How about some socks with those Birkenstock style sandals? Yes or No? Unacceptable? I have a pair of black ones with silver buckles and I love the look but I struggle with the no strap to keep them on my feet and although I take great care of my feet I don’t always have time for polish. So outside of always wearing sneakers for the summer I see many wear cute socks with the Birkenstocks. I think it’s cute and would also love some cute socks other than my white ankle socks with some top frilly material to style them in.
My mother was a critical gal and always told me my feet weren’t perfect as I didn’t have the long toes known for wealthy individuals…yep…I grew up with that warmth and my confidence about my feet grew from there:0)…
Also..alternatives for dry eye treatments some have found helpful as the medications treat only the symptoms but how can one deal with that without drops? Is laser an option?
Adore the ‘mom’ comment Lori. During junior high, my dad tried to make me feel better about having a stunning/gorgeous/beautiful older sister. Dad pointed out, how beautiful my feet and ankles were, and pointed to my sister’s feet/ankles, with dramatic eye roll and grimace.
Anyway, it did not go well afterward for any of us ! First compliment of my life, and sister went scorched earth.
Fascinating, your mom the Toe Beauty & Wealth Expert.
Hope you have gobs of money !!!
Thank you for sharing Sherry’s fabulous, timeless designs. I’ve been following her (and you!) for years. Her design aesthetic in decor and fashion align perfectly with my own. She’s such an inspiration!
That taco salad is a winner! Thanks for reminding me about this healthy classic. Subbing Turkey for beef is a great tip. This will be on rotation at our house again!
How about a blog on fashion trends for fall??? So we get a heads start….I live in Arizona….112 today…so thinking about fall makes summer a bit easier!
This is so funny that you and I are on the same wavelength about neutrals and texture this week?! I don’t see the links for the second outfit…all so cute.
Cindy! I love all your outfits of the week! Especially that shirt from J.Crew. Sherry Hart has the best eye for gallery walls! And now…I want a taco salad!
