Happy New Year! Wow, 2020 can you believe it?  Out with the old and in with the new.  Unfortunately I ended my year with the Flu.  I missed Christmas, my favorite holiday of the year.  We weren’t able to get our normal family Christmas Eve photo either.  I was looking forward to showing off our matching shirts.  I want a do-over!  I also missed the last Sunday of the year too 🙁 .   Nothing was going to stop me from celebrating the first Sunday of the year/new decade.

This happens to be my birthday week as well.  I’m so excited for Wednesday, turning 59!  I’m hoping my heath holds and I get to celebrate my way.  Time to start planning for the big 60…Image result for 59"

Today’s look was rather simple.  This is the dress I planned on wearing last Sunday (hence the pop of RED).  This dress reminds me of something out of the sixties.  All I needed was Go-Go Boots and a hair flip.  I chose it for the pop of red. Simple, yet  cute.

Accessorizing was easy, again. I kept it simple by wearing black earrings and black necklace.  I saved the additional pops of red for my shoes and handbag.

Speaking of my BAG, is this not the cutest RED box bag?  A little gift to myself.  I love the faux reptile print look.  It’s Vegan!

Sunday Look: The Power of Red

Blogs, , , , ,

Happy Sunday everyone! I missed you last week… Everyone knows how I love the cold right? Well, last week for some reason the wind cut right through me, it took hours for my body to warm up. I was like, what’s happening? Living in Texas you can count on experiencing all four season in one week. You’d think I would be use to it by now (HA!)

Well, today was a cool day and I was prepared. Yes, I wore a coat for a change. I don’t get many chances to wear one being the hot box that I am. I figured today was my best chance.

If you know me, you know that my favorite color is RED. When I saw this red and black animal print dress with high collar and long sleeves I had to have it. I didn’t try it on before I purchased it (wish I had) I could have sized down one. (Unfortunately this particular dress is sold out. I will link a similar one down below). I also purchased this red one button double weave coat with front pockets. I didn’t have a solid red coat in my wardrobe. It helped that it was on sale too! The dress and coat turned out to be a perfect combination for not being planned.

I decided to accessorize with black accessories. I wore extra long black earrings with a black/gold necklace. And I used a black ribbon as a belt. Instead of wearing pumps I wore black knee high leather boots with a medium heel.

My BAG today was a faux leather flap bag. It was all about the black accessories.

Everything I wore today is on sale “now” get them while you can.

Sunday Look: Holiday Crush

Blogs, , , ,

Happy Sunday everyone!  It’s really beginning to look a lot like Christmas, LOL… So much is happening.  Everything is so beautiful.  We had the honor of watching our granddaughter sing in the Holiday concert at her school.  Such beautiful voices, we enjoyed every minute.  Another treat was the 7 Sayings of Christmas our church does each year.  

Well, you know me and the Holidays, RED, RED, RED.  I’m so obsessed with this color and it certainly does scream HOLIDAY TIME… FOR ME.

Believe it or not, this outfit wasn’t planned.  I had planned on wearing the top with a black skirt. At the very last minute I changed.  “Crush Velvet” sounds like an old-fashioned term doesn’t it?  I haven’t heard that term in forever, nor have I worn it.  I’ve had this red cold shoulder velvet top for a while.  I wore it Valentine’s Day.  It’s a top for dual holidays 😉 .  There are so many ways to style this top.  I paired it with a few different options this morning.  Pink slacks, two different hues and black skirts. (Are you surprised about the pink option?)  I totally forgot about these black crush velvet joggers, the tapered at the ankle makes them dressier than elastic.  I added a black ribbon tied in a perfect bow.

When you reach the bottom of this post and see where I purchased both of these you will be surprised.  This just goes to show “you make the clothes, the clothes don’t make you”.  Everything doesn’t have to be expensive and name brand for you to look good.  I love my  cheap inexpensive outfit!  I felt like a million bucks 🙂 .

There was no better way to accessorize this outfit than with BLING.  You can’t ask for a better backdrop.  Let’s not forget the pointy toe shoes!  

My handbag has festive details with pearls and red stones. I call this one my “Holiday Bag”!

Sunday Social: The Holiday Season in Red- Take Two

Blogs, , ,

 

 

Happy Sunday! and the Holidays continue… in RED.  My favorite time of year.  What they say is true, it really is “The most wonderful time of year”.

Today I chose this lovely ball skirt with exposed zipper in back.  It makes a formal statement all by itself.  I paired it with a red and black long sleeve blouse.  The entire outfit screams HOLIDAYS… don’t you think?  The tulle underlining gives it just the right amount of poof, LOL…   AND it has pockets!

I have to honestly say I was torn as to which shoe I wanted to wear.  So many worked.  Two being a round toe RED platform and a BLACK satin pointed toe pump.  In the end I chose the RED BOTTOMS.  I couldn’t go wrong with either pair, they all looked really good.

Today’s accessories; I wore this large beaded necklace with bling and matching bling earrings.  After all it is the Holidays!

My BAG; as I was searching for the perfect bag this one appeared LOL… It was perfectly embellished with red and black bling beading.  It added that extra HOLIDAY touch.  Some of my other choices, black suede and a red woven fabric clutch.   But it was something about this one that stood out the most.   I love collecting clutches as you know.  It’s so nice to have a variety to choose from.  A girl can never have too many handbags 😉 .
