Sunday Look: Biker Chic

Happy Sunday, I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving  Holiday.   Thanksgiving marks the start of the Holiday Season.  Are you ready?  I’m not but I’m working on it.  Bring it on…
Today’s outfit is such a fun LOOK!   I knew I wanted to be casual and comfortable ( I ate a lot of turkey) 😉 LOL!  Not really, sometimes you just feel like dressing a little more casual than normal.   This top is everything, it’s so unique and I fell in love with it right away.  I also walked away and came back to it several times.  I couldn’t resist and took the plunge.  I’ve been waiting for the right time to wear it.  If I’m not mistaken I purchased it late last year or early this year. Why do we save clothes?  Am I the only one that does that, do you?

This top has a full front zipper and mimics a denim jacket.  It’s actually a printed mesh that looks like a jacket.  The collar has a bendable wire that can be manipulated to your liking.  Nothing goes better with this top than a denim skinny leg ankle pant.  The pair was made for one another 🙂 .

In keeping with the Biker Chic look I added a choker, long earrings and a single bulky ring.  Pointy toe metallic blue pumps kicked it into motion.

My BAG was a fold top denim shoulder bag with emoji’s.  Fun to say the least.

I chose this outfit for church today but it can certainly be worn in just about any setting.  I will definitely be wearing this again.  Next time I may pair it with boots for a completely different look!

Sunday Look: Little Black Dress Fit-and-Flare

Happy Sunday!  It’s hard to believe this week will mark the beginning of the holiday season.  I’m not completely ready 🙂 .  Are you?
This morning when it came time to get dressed I pulled out something blue.  Then I remembered I wore blue last week.  I’m sometimes drawn to the same color week after week. I wonder what that means? Anyway, I put that to the side for another time.  I finally ended up in this sleeveless black fit-and-flare dress.

This dress has a beautifully textured fabric with the perfect V-neckline. There is something about the fit-and-flare dress that’s flirty and fun! (Not that I was trying to be) 😉 .  You can bet this holiday season’s “little black dress” is likely to be a soignee version of fit-and-flare.

The neckline is so inviting for the perfect necklace. And I just happened to have the perfect one!  As you can see this multi beaded pearl statement necklace fills in the space nicely.  I chose shoes in a black velvet (trending) with a round toe and bow.  I also added a pearl drop earring and two-toned bangle.

My bag today was my “bug bag” that’s what I call it because it has a big bug on the front.  It’s such a fun piece for any outfit.

I’m excited for the holidays and looking forward to the most “Wonderful time of the Year” I can’t wait to see what everyone will be wearing.

Sunday Look: Roses are Blue…Baby Doll Dress

Happy Sunday!  What a difference it makes when you can get a full day of rest.  Yesterday I did absolutely nothing (except decorate my dining room table for Thanksgiving). Other than that we had a free weekend, the grand girls were sports free.  I should be well rested.  Late last night I decided to try on outfits for today.  Well, this morning I changed my mind 🙂 .  Luckily for me all I did was grab and go!  Which leads me to today’s outfit.

 

Roses are Blue is what I’m calling this dress.  I have to admit I fell in Love with this dress right away.  Wait until you see where I purchased it from down below.  All I have to say is “you make the clothes, the clothes don’t make you”.
The look of vintage in the mesh (I told you its trending)™. This mesh dress makes for a sultry look, while the embroidered flowers add sweet, feminine detail. The thin, mesh material and delicate flowers come together for a one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted look.  This dress turned heads LOL… It would be perfect for your next dinner party or night out.

I kept the accessories really simple. Notice, no necklace, really didn’t need one at all. Just the right amount of skin peeks through the mesh.  Black earrings, sparkly bracelet and ring did the rest.  The dress can easily stand for itself.  I chose an ombre patent leather shoe in blue and black.  I heard someone say the other day that ombre is out ( I think they were talking about hair though).  Anyway, I beg to differ.  I like it and I wore it 😉 .

My BAG today was fairly simple.  I chose a long blue clutch that felt so right for this outfit.  I did try three others but this one was perfect.

Like I said before, you make the clothes the clothes don’t make you!  I wear what I like and you should too!  Don’t get me wrong, I love a designer piece. But everything doesn’t have to be $$$ for you to look good or feel good.

Sunday Look: Fall Colors

Happy Sunday!  I really needed that extra hour of sleep this morning.  Well… you already know what I’m going to say LOL, yep its Texas warm and that’s all I’m going to say. It’s so hard to dress for Fall around here. You find yourself dressing in-between Summer and Fall.  Being that its Fall, I would prefer to dress in Fall clothing! I’m trying to keep it in-between or at lease dress in the season colors.

Today’s outfit falls somewhere in-between.  I chose a burgundy color pallet in gauchos and bodysuit.  I didn’t actually plan on wearing these two pieces together, so glad I did.  As  you know bodysuits are everywhere this season.  What I like most about them is the ease of not having to tuck.  I fell in LOVE with this particular sheer mesh bodysuit. The surplice neckline (which I love) and the allover floral print caught my eye.  Mesh is another trend, I think I mentioned it last week as well.  When it comes to gauchos or even culottes, I don’t think they will ever go out of style, especially in the Fall/Winter months (usually when I wear them).  It’s so easy to pair them with boots ( I love that look) which is what I would prefer to wear but Texas weather won’t allow it.  Let me rephrase that, “Texas weather won’t allow ME”.

It was another easy outfit to accessorize.  I kept it fairly simple wearing a choker with a pearl drop, a single gold bangle and somewhat whimsical earring that paired well with the floral detail in the bodysuit. My shoes, a nude patent leather (pointy toe) pump.

My BAG today was a small tan flap bag with a woven front. Perfect size!

 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and remember its going to get dark earlier 🙁 .
