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.

Sunday Look: MOD

Happy first Sunday of 2019… Guess what guys? It’s my birthday week! My birthday is in two days. I’m so excited. 🙂 . Do you get birthday perks from merchants? I’ve gotten freebies and percentages off from jewelry to food and everything in-between. I may not be able to use them all, but I’m certainly going to try 😉 .  

Is this weather playing tricks on us or what? That’s Texas weather for ya! I had to completely change up my wardrobe plans for today. The forecast wasn’t favorable for what I was planning to wear.

Today’s outfit, a matching two piece (sold separately). A MOD long duster-inspired vest with oversized patch pockets paired with slim straight leg pants. This look is so retro, especially the print. It reminds me of the 70’s. Plaid has been a huge trend for the Fall and Winter seasons. I should be able to restyle this outfit by wearing the pants without the vest and pairing the vest with jeans or a long skirt with boots.

It didn’t take much to accessories this outfit. A long pearl & gold necklace and earrings did the job. I wore cream colored suede pointy toe pumps. Wearing the lighter colors enhanced the colors of the plaid.

My BAG, a cream fold-over clutch with patches of animal print. I thought it would be fun to mix the plaid and animal print. I love mixing different patterns and textures together. The two paired very well together.

Sunday Look: Plaid on Point

Happy Sunday… I hope everyone had a very pleasant Thanksgiving.  We had twelve family and friends at the dinner table, my heart was happy.   As a blogger I missed the opportunity to take advantage of the “Black Friday Sales”.  I’m sure there were some great deals out there I could have shared with you today.  Maybe next year 😉 .  I have to admit I was exhausted.  I must have been really tired, I did not wake up until around 8:50 am this morning.  This is highly unusual for me.  I’m usually up around 7:00 am.  I had no time to plan an outfit.  I picked the first thing I saw and added to it.  I have to admit it was so much easier, I didn’t have time to put a lot of thought into it.   I should do that more often 🙂 .  It’s officially the holiday season guys!  I’m excited for the holiday fashions.  I’m looking forward to seeing what you guys will be wearing this Holiday Season.
For this last Sunday in November, I’m feeling the Fall vibe.  I’ve been itching to wear plaid, It’s trending big-time right now!  I chose this plaid print top with a mix of hounds-tooth (or it chose me) with the look of two tops rolled into one, a twofer.  The bottom half looks like a corset with a tie front.  The top half is a classic shirt with collar and button front which I left unbuttoned.   I paired it with a pair of black palazzo pants.

My accessories were very simple.  I added a layered necklace within the button front.  Big earrings and a wide bracelet.  I wore black patent leather pointy toe heels to give me some height.  I’m  5’4″ and have to stay elevated for most of my pants to not drag the ground 😉 .

My BAG today was playful, a two toned black and white square clutch with YES & NO printed on each side.  Fun, fun, fun…

Style Tip:  This top would also look good with a long pencil skirt -or- A-line maxi skirt.

Sunday Social: Plaid Shirt Dress

Happy First Sunday!  Finally, we may be experiencing  a touch of Fall weather.  That brings me to today’s outfit “Plaid Shirt Dress”.  Fall speaks a lot of things, one being PLAID… Just about every designer has a plaid piece in their collection.   I took a simple shirt dress and played it up with a wide belt and suede pointy high heels.  One thing for sure, this dress will look equally as great with a pair of booties or any other type of boots.  Don’t forget the flats! Honestly, just about any shoe will work.  This dress also has size zippers, you can unzip and pair with leggings for another great look!
I chose to button the dress all the way to the neck.  By doing so I was able to take a simple necklace and make it look like a “bolo”.  I kept my jewelry to a minimum.  My BAG, well it speaks for itself.  That’s it for today!  Enjoy what’s left of the weekend.  I’ve got a pretty busy week ahead, we have two family birthdays to celebrate.   Enjoy and get some PLAID in you life…  😉  .  DON’T FORGET TO VOTE!!!!

Happy Saturday… Its a beautiful Christmas Holiday Weekend.  I rarely post my Saturday outfits.  Feeling pretty good today about this PLAID DRESS look with colorful tights.  It’s kind of “cute”  🙂 so I thought I would share.  PLAID is something I don’t wear often, its a look that I love on other people.  I added a belt to cinch a waistline.   The flat boots makes it comfortable and casual.  I threw on the hat at the last minute and I liked it… 😉
