Happy Sunday! I’m going to start out by saying I’ve had the “COOLEST” weekend 🙂 . Yep I enjoyed our cooler temperatures this weekend. I spent a great deal of time outside this weekend. It was so nice to put on boots and a turtleneck. It’s the little things! LOL. I know it was short lived but I enjoyed it none the less. This morning started out pleasant (at least it wasn’t hot) 🙂 . Which prompted me to today’s outfit.
I chose a short shift dress in a large peony floral print, with a choker neckline and cutout front. I wore a long sheer cardigan over the dress since it was sleeveless. Doing so made it a little more dressy and seasonal. If you haven’t noticed “sheer” dresses, tops and cardigans are trending BIG TIME right now. This particular cardigan can be worn with jeans, slacks, maxi dress or a jumpsuit. The possibilities are endless.
Accessorizing was so easy. The choker neckline meant I didn’t need a necklace. All I had to do was put on a pair of earrings. I chose a single cream and black bangle just for kicks. Black patent leather platform pumps added the finishing touch.
My bag today was a black rippled patent leather tote with a black and gold chain strap. I’ve said this before, you just know when the bag is right for the outfit.
I’m so happy the season is changing so we can change up our wardrobe. I’m looking forward to wearing my boots (again) and dabbing into the velvet trend. Stay tuned!

Happy Sunday! Blessings for another week. I have to say this past week was rather uneventful. Although we had the usual Saturday of grand girls sporting events. It’s still pretty warm and I’m so ready for some cooler weather. I sound like a broken record I know, I know 🙂 …
I’m also not ready for all those dark muted colors either. I’d like to think I’m a colorful kind of girl. I never use to be a fan of floral print. I purchased a floral dress a couple of years back. I looked at that dress for a long time. I liked it, then I didn’t. I thought it was ugly actually. But I couldn’t leave it in the store. When I finally wore it I was in ♥love♥ and have been every since. Most probably think floral prints are for Spring and Summer months only. There are some beautiful floral prints of reds, gold, orange and greens that flow well into the Fall and Winter seasons. I’m already thinking about what I’ll wear in December. I can’t wait!
Today’s outfit is floral of course LOL. I was drawn to this dress immediately, I’m not sure if it was the print or all the ruffles. This dress has an allover floral print, a V-neckline, a waist sash-belt, long sleeves with split ruffle cuffs, and a ruffle hem. Can you get any more girly? I felt like my youngest grand daughter wanting to twirl.
Last night when figuring out how to style this dress I went through several necklaces. Whichever necklace I chose would dictate the earrings. You know pearls were my first choice. I ultimately decided on this gold multi-tasseled necklace and large loop earrings. I know pearls go with everything but there was something about this necklace that fit perfectly in the V-neckline, (this necklace was a birthday gift). I chose to wear a nude patent leather platform heel. Every nude shoe I tried on worked. It was all about the color “nude” that paired well with all the colors.
My BAG today was BIG! Sometimes you just now what goes well and what doesn’t. This “doctor bag” looking handbag with a diamond stitched pattern was a very good choice I think.

Happy Sunday! Another great week for the memory books. This weekend like most, we were busy with the grand girls sporting events. We spent our entire Saturday outside. Oh the excitement!
I was exhausted when we got home last night. There was no time nor energy to plan for today’s outfit. This morning I literarily reached my hand inside one of my closets and pulled out the first dress that caught my eye. I tried it on, it fit and the rest is what you see LOL. Believe me this is highly unusual for me. I usually try on three or four different outfits. I think I’m overthinking it. Today was so easy, reach, pull, wear 🙂 . I purchased this dress maybe two seasons ago not quite sure. I’m not a big fan of long sleeves. I have to wear them at some point, today seemed like a good day to do so.
This dress may look like its accented in black but its “gray”. I figured since its Fall (or suppose to be) I could wear it not only for the color but for the long sleeves. I love the bold fern leaf print. Its sort of a shirt dress kicked up a notch. With a print this bold I didn’t need heavy accessories. Even though I chose a large pendant necklace, the colored stones are somewhat muted and doesn’t take over the print. I kept the earrings simple as well. When it came to shoes I thought I would mix the patterns. I chose snakeskin platform round toe pumps in the same color pallet.
My bag today was a simple woven clutch. No frills!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and we’ll see what comes next week!

Happy Sunday! What a weekend I’ve had. Let me tell you a little bit about me and my life in case you didn’t know. For starters I’m a professional woman. I’m a REALTOR®, wife, mother and grandmother. This weekend like most was full of grandkids sporting events. Now add car repairs into the mix. I got my hands dirty assisting my husband in changing the sparkplugs out on my car and replacing headlights, park lights and taillight bulbs (my hands are smaller than his, he needed me). Yep you read correctly! One thing about me, I’m not afraid to get my hands a little dirty. All while in full make-up and lipstick! 😉 There is more to me than what you see weekly). I can do a few other things as well 😉 . Now you know a little bit more about me.
Needless to say I was worn out. There was no time to plan for todays outfit. This dress, autumn escape is the perfect name for this color because I’m certainly trying to escape to Autumn somewhere. Oddly, I have another dress that’s very similar to this one. I purchased this one about two years ago, I was SO surprised it fit, seriously!
Nothing is more girly than lace. The lace detail on this dress is so pretty with a scalloped hemline and scalloped neckline with three quarter length sleeves. I kept the accessories girly with pearls. Pearls are the most versatile piece of jewelry you can own (besides diamonds). You can wear them with ANYTHING… I chose to wear a nude T-strap patent leather high heel pumps.
My BAG today, a neutral colored bag with a 3D bow detail. Accessories done!
