Sunday Look: Classic Two-Piece

Blogs, , , , , , , ,

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.

Sunday Look: Rainy Sunday in September

Blogs, , , , , ,

Happy Sunday! Hello to a rainy Sunday in September.  Even though it’s still Summer I can feel a change coming especially with the rain.  I’m so excited!  It seems like when September rolls around most folks jump into Fall mode immediately.  Granted some states are experiencing cooler temperatures, not here!  I’ve noticed people wearing darker colors too.  Not me, it’s still Summer and pretty warm…  I will continue my summer wear and color pallet for a little while longer even though I can’t wait for some COOLER weather.
Today’s outfit served two purposes.  It was raining this morning and it’s still hot (summer).  I deviated from what I was planning on wearing because of the rain.  At the last minute I decided to throw on some (dressy) ankle length denim slacks and a colorful sleeveless shell with faux pearl details around the neckline.  Putting these two together allowed me to be somewhat dressier than I would have been in a regular pair of denim jeans.

 

It’s so easy to take a simple outfit like this and dress it up by adding the perfect accessories.  I played off the color of the shell and the pearl detail by adding long silver/pearl earrings. I loaded up on silver bangles and rings.  I chose a very colorful shoe that made the whole outfit pop!

My hand BAG also popped, the quilted flap and the silver chain link outline fared well with the entire outfit.

This outfit was so easy to style, very effortless…  one of the great things about fashion, it should be effortless and fun.

Sunday Look: Military Blue

Blogs, , , , , , ,
Greeting to another Sunday.  As the season changes (especially in Texas) how does one dress for a cool start and somewhat of a warm finish.  Layers. Dressing in layers can help with the quickly changing temperatures.

 

Today’s outfit is a take on the layered effect.  The “military” inspired design with a feminine turn in a long tailored jacket, adorned with polished goldtone buttons.  Under the jacket is a sleeveless shell.  This allows me to remove my jacket if needed.  I paired the two with a crop straight legged pant.  All in the color “BLUE“.   I love this look, it’s very comfortable and stylish at the same time.  You may be thinking why all blue?  First of all, I love the functionality (military look) of it all.   If I were to remove the jacket I would still have a cohesive look.

My jewelry accessories played off the shape and goldtone buttons.  I purposely wore gold earrings, necklace and bracelet.  It really set off the look.   I kept with the blue in my shoes as well.   The patent leather blue gave that shine you see on military personnel for a totally finished look.

     

 

My BAG, a square, blue leather handbag trimmed in gold.  The square shape of the handbag made the entire outfit look official 😉 .

Fashion should be FUN. Have fun in your look , OWN IT !

Happy New Year’s Eve!  2017 is almost out of here…  What a year!  We are so blessed to see another year, for that I am thankful.
This is the last blog post of 2017,  I spent last night thinking how I would end this last Sunday of the year.  I put a lot of thought into each outfit I wear, whether it’s dressing for a specific holiday or season.  It’s all planned out each week, well most weeks 😉 .  I enjoy bringing you my looks each week and I hope you enjoy them too.
None of this would be possible without the support of my ♥husband.  He takes all my photos without a single complaint.  I’m so fortunate to have him support my hobby 🙂 .

I felt the need to end the year in a little glitz.  Today’s outfit features a little glitter by way of this one-button glitter dot boyfriend blazer. The sleek look of the blazer paired with a straight leg crop pant makes for a polished look.  The one -button blazer meant I had to add a top.  I added a simple shell in the same color keeping the look sleek.

This outfit was very easy to accessorize.  The gold glitter certainly called for a chunky gold chain.  I added gold dangling earrings to the mix and finished the look with a watch, gold bangles and a gold pointy toe shoe.
BABY it was COLD outside today.  I wore a neon yellow/green wool coat and black gloves.

My BAG today was an oldie, a simple rectangular clutch in gold added the old school glamour making this look classic.

Tonight as we count down to 2018, my husband and I will ring it in with a party for two.  We rarely go out for New Years Eve.  Staying home provides a safe and comfortable environment for us.  Now don’t get me wrong, we dress up for our party of two.  Tonight I’m wearing a long cream colored gown with a sequence bodice and long taffeta skirt. We will be sipping champagne till 2018.  However you choose to celebrate, please be safe and please, please don’t drink and drive.  See  you back here in 2018. While you’re at it, give me a like on this post 🙂 .
