Sunday Look: Split Back Houndstooth Cape Dress

Blogs, , , , , , , , ,

Happy Sunday! Did we enjoy that extra day in February? Good-bye Leap Year!  Hello March. Spring is right around the corner.  There’s no stopping it now.  Like years past, I failed to maximize my closest.  Mostly because we don’t have heavy Winters and I have quite a few heavy Winter clothing.  Don’t ask me why, especially knowing I live in Texas.  It really makes it hard to maximize your closet.  Take today for instance. It was a Spring-like day, even though we are still in Winter.

I have the habit of bulk shopping and may not wear an outfit right away.  I’m trying to break that habit. 😉 .

Today’s outfit is giving me old Hollywood Glam. I wore a split back houndstooth cape dress.  Guys, I love the fit and style of this dress. It’s so elegant and can be worn to any special occasion.  Not only is houndstooth one of my favorite prints, but when you mix it with a cape, bodycon/pencil skirt type fit, I’m here for it all.  There are only a few smaller sizes left in this dress.  Grab it!

In keeping with the elegant look I was going for, I accessorized with pearls.  A long strand of pearls looped and a second multi-strand pearl necklace gave a major layered effect. Next, pearl beaded earrings.  Patent leather pointy toe heels added to the look.


My BAG; I have to be honest, I struggled between this houndstooth bag and a solid black patent leather bag.  Both worked.  I just felt some type of way about the houndstooth bag.  It’s certainly unexpected!  And I like to push the unexpected!

Sunday Look: Bodycon, Bodycon

Greetings to another week.  For starters, we’ve had a roller-coaster of seasons this past week.  Today it was Spring 🙂 .  It’s really hard to plan an outfit ahead of time, but I adapt, LOL!  Nothing like Texas weather.

Wait a minute…  What in the world am I doing in a “bodycon” dress.  When I first saw this dress I didn’t realize it was labeled as a “bodycon” .  I could not see myself in such a dress, which is probably the mindset of many women.  Well… there is a first time for everything.  I was all 🙂 smiles 🙂 in the dressing room, it fit, OMG, it fit and looked good on me! This particular dress is a mesh bodycon with a lining.  Mesh is turning out to be my best friend.  I’m very pleased with the fit and happy that I was able to pull this one off.  I had no trouble sitting down either!

The black and floral print surely makes a statement all by itself.  I could have opted to go accessory free, but who does that?  I could have easily chosen pearls to wear with this print and it would have worked.  Instead I chose an earring with colorful stones along with a necklace of like colors.

I must admit, I tried on three different pairs of shoes and could not make a decision.  I let my husband choose for me.  Sometimes another pair of eyes helps.

My BAG was an easy choice.  A suede envelop clutch with triangle patchwork in four different colors.  Best feature, the Pompom 🙂 .  I have no idea where I purchased this bag from.

 
Don’t limit your clothing style.  Try on that dress, don’t just look at it.  You may be surprised!
