Sunday Look: A Nod to the RED, WHITE & BLUE

Happy Sunday! Well, the July 4th holiday is upon us.  No better time to wear a little bit of RED, WHITE & BLUE… to celebrate the holiday.  Last week I mentioned that would be mixing old and new pieces together for the summer.  These (old) white slacks scream summer.  To complete the look add a little red and blue to the mix.  A blue peplum halter top suited the straight legged white slacks perfectly.  Every woman should own at least one Halter Top, it exposes the sexiest part of a woman’s body ” her shoulders”.  No matter a woman’s size her shoulders are very sexy!

 

Now that you have the White and Blue all you need is RED.  Red shoes complete the look.  Today I opted for a softer round toe platform heel verses my all time favorite pointy toe heel. Change is good, in this case either one would work.  No wrong choices here.

The peplum top is very detailed around the neck, NO necklace required.  All I had to do was add my usual pieces, earrings and my go to bangles.  Today I rocked three glass bangles in the RED, WHITE & BLUE (clink, clink)!

Let’s talk about my BAG;  I spotted this (showstopper)  RED tote bag on a mannequin.  I immediately hightailed it over to the purse section.  I couldn’t find it anywhere 🙁  so I did the next best thing, took it off the mannequin!  What else was I to do? I wanted this bag.   Today was my first time carrying it.  It’s HUGE and I love it!  This bag is going to be great for traveling I can already tell.  It will hold all my essentials… and more.   My daughter has already put claims on it LOL 🙂 . It’s still available online by the way.

Enjoy the July 4th holiday and all the festivities. Be safe and… How are you rocking your RED, WHITE & BLUE?

Sunday Look: Lace Mesh Sheath

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!  Today I paused for all of our fallen men and women that allow us to be FREE!  Today in honor of Memorial Day, I wore our country’s colors Red, White and Blue.

 

This lightweight sapphire lace mesh sheath dress was perfect homage to Memorial Day.  A lot of ladies think they cannot pull of a straight silhouette dress.  But I’m here to tell you that you can.  You all know I’m no size 2.  This silhouette can be very flattering especially when it’s cinched at the waist.  The waistband is built-in on this dress, that eliminated the need for a belt.  Love how the lace is see-through at the bottom, shoulders and back.  The diamond mesh overlay provides tons of venting for a hot day like today too!  I feel really good in this dress.

 

Blue earrings served as my main accessory. I didn’t need a necklace, the scalloped neck with the same diamond mesh detail was enough.   And I’m never without a bracelet or two 😉 .  Of course I had to wear RED shoes!  This patent leather shoe has a bit of a platform and pointy toe was the only choice.

                    

 

My BAG, a flap clutch had all the red, white and blue I needed to round out this color scheme.

Happy 4th of July Weekend.  Today I chose to salute the red, white and blue.  I took simple street wear pieces and made a patriotic outfit.  Using just your basic red slacks, blue blazer and white sleeveless top.  Very minimal accessories was needed.  Adding the scarf was the final salute to the outfit.  Today I have another fun bag “red sequence” nothing like a little added bling.  See me waving my flag and the pool water reflecting on my face, LOL.  Enjoy your extended weekend.  I’m off to start the festivities…

With tomorrow being Independence Day, let us not forget all the men and women of the military that protect our homeland so we can be free.  I SALUTE THEM!

Happy 4th of July to all.   Let the Festivities begin… It’s all about the RED WHITE & BLUE…This was my attire for the days leading up to July 4th weekend. This light weight 100% cotton shirt dress was purchased at TJ Maxx for less than $20.  Remember the scarves I told you about back in May that  I found for a whopping $1.00 each, well… They are perfect for this time of year. I will use them again and again. As you can see any bag will do.

My second look is more casual.  Boyfriend jeans and white top. Couldn’t forget the red shoes… Again, I was able to sport one of my $1.00 scarves to complete the look. Just a few pieces is all it take.

Looking forward to the 4th for some good food, family and FIREWORKS!!!

Happy 4th and be safe…

Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone… How do you RED WHITE & BLUE? I thought about what I would  wear to the picnic then later for cocktails.  Not wanting to change clothes completely, I decided to just change my accessories.

It’s so simple to go from day to night with little effort. The elastic ankle jean I’m wearing are I-N-C International Concepts from Mays’s they are unbelievably soft.   My red Vince Camuto pumps (pointed toes) were purchased about two years ago from Dillard’s.  I switched from a tied scarf (it’s actually my husband’s pocket square, SHHH don’t tell, he didn’t even notice) to a chunky necklace, added bangles and changed my watch.  The one major change that made the biggest difference was my bags.  The large Michael Kors Tote and small sequence clutch (added some sparkle) was a perfect transition.  Enjoy the BEAUTI in your long weekend.  And lastly, please remember our fallen Military men and women.
