Happy Sunday Guys! Can you believe we are approaching the last week of February? It will be Spring before we know it. This weather has certainly been a roller coaster of temperatures, (up and down). Some nights we find ourselves sitting at our grand daughter’s soccer game all wrapped up in blankets to sitting in the stands dressed in long sleeves watching our other grand daughter participate in a cheerleader showcase. That’s Texas weather! Today’s weather was perfect for an outdoor photoshoot.
Today’s outfit “Triple Hiss” Why? Because I’m wearing triple reptile prints. My jumpsuit, shoes and handbag all reptile print. I was really excited to try it. I love how all the different prints tie-in together. I don’t follow any rules, If I like it, I wear it…
The jumpsuit is from last season (no longer available) bold reptile print showcases wide short sleeves and a belted waist.
Accessorizing was so easy. I immediately went for the reptile bootie. I love the contrast of the two prints together. I could have easily chosen a black heel, how boring is that? 😉 . I did pair black beaded bow earrings and a beaded necklace.
My BAG today, a reptile print box clutch/shoulder-bag. Again the reptile print was a nice contrast to the jumpsuit and booties.
Hello, Happy Sunday! I hope everyone enjoyed their Valentine Weekend. I sure did. The husband and I managed to snag a dinner reservation at the last minute. I skipped last weeks Blog Post, the dress I wore was previously blogged back in December of 2016, it still fit! ↓↓
Last October, I walked in a fashion show wearing a local designers African Clothing. I was able to purchase a few pieces afterwards. I wore one of the pieces for my birthday photoshoot last month. This dress is called “Apuk”. ↓↓
Every February our church celebrates Heritage Sunday. It’s such an exciting time. Today we had African Dancers accompanied by drummers. And a sermon fitting for the occasion. That brings me to today’s outfit. It was originally suppose to be a two piece pant suit. Unfortunately the pants were too big (I guess I lost a few pounds since I purchased it). I searched my closet to find something that would work with the jacket. I remembered I had this little green dress from a few years ago that I’d never worn. I was wowed at how the two went together. I took the sash from the jacket and used it as a high-waist tie on the dress. Instant gratification!
The accessories had to fit the occasion. I always try to pull out one color in the fabric to accessorize. Round disc earrings and my go-to wooden multi-colored beaded necklace paired ever so lovely. I didn’t have green heels, (which I think would look amazing) I opted for a neutral high heel pump. I love when the unexpected comes together.
My BAG, an Ark shaped bamboo handbag finished the look.
Happy Super Sunday! Today is the day, Super Bowl Sunday… No big party plans over here. Just me and the husband hanging out. Did you know that today’s date is a rare eight-digit palindrome (reads the same, forward and backward), 02/02/2020 — the only one of its kind this century!
I usually designate Super Bowl Sunday as a casual or dress down kinda day. I did that (I think) in this Utility Jumpsuit. This jumpsuit reminded me of my childhood. My uncle wore a utility Jumpsuit all the time. I think my dad did too. It has all the components, front zipper, utility pockets and elastic waist with an attached belt. Upon first look, you either like it or you hate it, that was my first impression. In order to settle that argument in my head, I had to try it on. Surprisingly, I loved it! It’s very comfortable, the fabric has the feel of suede. The print is a snake skin. I’m wearing a medium.
This jumpsuit can be styled so many different ways. I was going for a semi casual look. I accessorized light today. Only wearing large gold hoop earrings with pearls and a gold choker. My shoes made it dressy. Yes. I mixed my prints. Animal print heels went so well with the golden color of the fabric. I consider animal print a neutral, which means it goes with anything. NO RULES…
My BAG, a small black suede handbag with a colorful tie enter-twined between the chain handle.
Happy Sunday Guys! How can this be the last Sunday in January? It’s been a long month. Still one of my favorite months of the year. It’s going to be hard to say good-bye to my celebration month. Looking forward to Valentines ♥.
Our weekend started off full of fun and involved really dressing up! We had the pleasure of attending a Black Tie Gala honoring our Pastor’s 15th Anniversary. It was a great night to honor our Pastor, dine and mingle with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Dressing up in our finest added to the occasion.
Today’s outfit is rather simple. This ribbed high collar dress happens to be 95% Ecologically Grown Cotton. A cotton grown using practices that help protect biodiversity. I’m happy to do my part for our environment. You won’t believe the price either! If you want it, hurry not many sizes left.
Notice the accessories? Give me a minute and I will address it. For starters, this color pairs well with silver. Since there was no secondary color to pull from, I opted for silver jewelry and white studded ankle boots. YES, white boots! Forget about that old cliche’ of not wearing white after Labor Day. Trust me, it’s ok and still trending in 2020!
I purchased the boots around the November timeframe from Macy’s “Last Act Sale”. I will add two links where to get similar pairs below.
My BAG, a winter white, faux reptile clutch trimmed with a little bit of black and silver. Nailed it! How simple is this entire outfit? I love effortless dressing.
Happy Sunday! Happy MLK weekend. For the past several years two of my grand girls have been a part of the MLK festivities with their middle school choir. I shed tears every year. I love hearing my grand girls sing and taking part in such a memorable celebration. They have beautiful voices by the way! 🙂 .
There was a chill in the air this morning. This was the perfect opportunity to sport this classic houndstooth single breast jacket and wide leg crop pant. I love the wide covered belt and buckle. The wide leg pants are cropped with a flat front. The two pieces look good together, there was no splitting up these matching pieces. I added a black crew neck shirt underneath which served as the perfect backdrop for a black & white (long) pearl necklace. I’m so in LOVE with this necklace, I can hardly handle it 🙂 .
In addition to the black & white pearl necklace, I wore black & white dangling earrings. Threw in a few bangles as well. I like to wear an odd number when I accessorize with bangles. I just happen to have the perfect black pointy toe pumps. This look…. I was feeling it!
My BAG today was a little black on black bag with a chain detail. It also features a faux pom pom. It comes with a strap to wear as a crossbody or shoulder bag. This particular bag is sold out. You can purchase it on the secondary market I’m sure.
Happy Sunday Guys! How is the start of 2020 treating you? I’m having a little bit of a struggle trying to get back into a routine. I had no trouble celebrating my 59th birthday last Wednesday 🙂 . I celebrated my actual “birthday” with the family only.
I celebrated again on Friday with my husband, daughter and several close friends.
Oh! I almost forgot, I did a mimi photo shoot on my birthday too. I will share those pics soon.
Today’s dress was a repeat. I restyled it with different accessories. I last wore this dress February of 2016.
Surprisingly, my husband remembered my dress from last time. He actually chose it for me. The color reminded him of his favorite college football team.
This time around I wore rose gold jewelry and solid colored heels. That’s all I had to do in order to change it up.
My BAG today, the cutest little animal print handbag. I consider animal print a neutral. It was a nice contrast to the tone on tone of my dress and heels.
Shopping your closet can make something old, new again!
Happy New Year! Wow, 2020 can you believe it? Out with the old and in with the new. Unfortunately I ended my year with the Flu. I missed Christmas, my favorite holiday of the year. We weren’t able to get our normal family Christmas Eve photo either. I was looking forward to showing off our matching shirts. I want a do-over! I also missed the last Sunday of the year too 🙁 . Nothing was going to stop me from celebrating the first Sunday of the year/new decade.
This happens to be my birthday week as well. I’m so excited for Wednesday, turning 59! I’m hoping my heath holds and I get to celebrate my way. Time to start planning for the big 60…
Today’s look was rather simple. This is the dress I planned on wearing last Sunday (hence the pop of RED). This dress reminds me of something out of the sixties. All I needed was Go-Go Boots and a hair flip. I chose it for the pop of red. Simple, yet cute.
Accessorizing was easy, again. I kept it simple by wearing black earrings and black necklace. I saved the additional pops of red for my shoes and handbag.
Speaking of my BAG, is this not the cutest RED box bag? A little gift to myself. I love the faux reptile print look. It’s Vegan!
Hello Happy Sunday! Only a few more days until Christmas, are we ready? I still need to grocery shop for Christmas dinner and the dreaded wrapping, UGH! I am looking forward to our annual family Christmas Eve get-together. I love making memories for our grandgirls. Be sure to watch my FB page to see what matching outfits we chose this year.
In addition to my Sunday Look, I want to share a few of my holiday decorations. I love sprucing up the house for the holidays.
Today’s look kept with my Holiday RED theme. I decided to incorporate plaid into the mix. Plaid is very popular for Christmas. I chose a pair of high waisted palazzo pants paired with a black long sleeve blouse with a twisted keyhole neck. Sometimes I wish I were a little bit taller. I had to have about six inches cut off the bottom of these pants. Thank goodness for high heels.
This entire Holiday Season, I’ve only needed a necklace once. This makes styling my outfits so easy. Today I only wore red rhinestone earrings. I chose a two-toned heel in red and cream.
My BAG today matched my shoes. I don’t normally match my shoes and bag. Since I had them both, why not!
Finally, I would like to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas! I hope you have a safe and happy holiday with your families.
Hello guys! Happy Sunday. Let me start out by saying, what a great Christmas production we witnessed this morning by the youth of the church. They really told the true meaning of Christmas.
As the big day (Christmas) approaches, I have to ask, how is your holiday going? So many people fall into a deep depression for many reasons during the holiday season. It’s very important that we check on our friends and family. Just because we are happy, doesn’t mean others around us are happy. Be cognizant of that fact.
Somehow I’ve managed to keep with my yearly holiday tradition of RED. Today’s dress is a wide-cut in airy, crêped chiffon. Ruffled collar and V-neck with drawstring at top. Wide, raglan balloon sleeves, and skirt in gathered tiers with flounce at hem. This dress makes me want to twirl! If you feel the dress is too short, legging would be appropriate. I’m pretty short, the length is perfect for me.
Again, minimal accessories were needed. The drawstring V-neck eliminated the need for a necklace. Of course you could wear one if you wanted to. I hear a lot of people say “I could never put that together” Dresses like this, make it easy! I’m never without some sort of accessory. Glittery earrings keep with the holiday vibe. Instead if a pump, I opted for ankle boots. The black satin fabric with flower decal finished the look. I LOVE how they look with this dress.
Style Tip: Most tiered dresses look fabulous with angle boots!
Hello friends! By now, most of us are in full holiday mode. Planning family gatherings, parties, menus and gift giving. I just love this time of year!
For me, wardrobe planning is a great part of my holiday planning. Like I mentioned last week, I like to wear RED on Sunday’s in December. It’s sort of my homage to Christmas.
Today’s outfit is a twist, yet it included RED. I loved the idea of wearing animal print. It’s just another way to add that element of surprise to any holiday outfit. I’ve always talked about pulling out one color in your outfit to accessorize. The sash was trimmed in RED which gave me the style opportunity.
In keeping with my theme, I accessorized in RED. Teardrop earrings, a beaded necklace and the perfect shade of RED heels topped with a bow. How perfect is that?
My BAG today, a small RED vinyl wristlet. Simply stated.
Don’t be afraid to add another element of style to any outfit.
