Sunday Look: Floral Burst Sheath

Blogs, , , ,
Happy Sunday and welcome to June.  One thing that’s trending this Spring and leading into Summer are floral prints.  I’m always attracted to floral prints  and end up second guessing my decisions.  It almost happened with today’s outfit.

This dress looked really great on the hanger, I wasn’t sure if it was for me.  For starters it’s a little longer than I normally wear my dresses 😉 .  And I wasn’t really sold on the the floral placement.  But honey, after I put it on….  I’m in See the source image …  The fit is perfect, I’m not concerned about the length at all. The floral placement is perfect after-all, so vibrant. The three quarter length sleeves adds a touch of “classy” that I may have not gotten had it been sleeveless.  The boat neckline is so beautiful, it happens to be one of my two favorite necklines (the other one being off-the- shoulder). I love how it defines my neckline.  I also love the exposed zipper in the back.  I’m so happy I went with my first choice.

A dress like this can stand on its own.  I accessorized with long dangle earrings to draw attention to my neckline.  I’m never without my go to bangle 😉 .  I opted for my favorite pointy toe high heel pumps, I think they really finished the look!

My Bag today a faux reptile print black with gold trim and chain envelop cross-body.  Outfit complete!

Ladies, you see those calf muscles? I got them from wearing high heels 🙂 .

Sunday Look: Head To Toe Chic “In My Mother’s Dress”

Blogs, , , , , ,
Happy Sunday.  You know you live in Texas when you experience two seasons in two days, LOL!  I could have sworn it was summer on Saturday and today, well… I will leave it to your imagination.
When my mother passed away we didn’t keep a lot of her clothing.  We gave them away to a family friend.  We kept a few pieces, which I have in my possession.
Today’s outfit includes two of her things.   My dress and purse.  My mother has been gone for over a decade and this black sheath dress has never gone out of style.  I wear it once or twice a year.  No matter my size it always fits.  Today I added a belt to take it in a bit (it was a little big).  I also added a long mesh kimono for a more chic look.

Another Style Option: For a more tailored look, I could have added a blazer.
In addition to the belt, I wore a red and black scarf tied into a headband.  It was so windy today, a headband seemed like a good idea.  I kept the red going in two jewelry pieces, my necklace and earrings.  Instead of the usual black or red pump, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to wear these black ankle boots with a RED flower applique, so chic!  The pointy toe gave me life! 😉 .

My BAG as I mentioned was one of my mother’s.  It’s a simple black cloth clutch (very old).  It also has a short gold hand chain attached inside.  I love how old things can become new again with a little ingenuity!

Sunday Look: Autumn Escape

Blogs, , , , ,

Happy Sunday!  What a weekend I’ve had.  Let me tell you a little bit about me and my life in case you didn’t know.  For starters I’m a professional woman.  I’m a REALTOR®, wife, mother and grandmother.  This weekend like most was full of grandkids sporting events.  Now add car repairs into the mix.  I got my hands dirty assisting my husband  in changing the sparkplugs out on my car and replacing headlights, park lights and taillight bulbs (my hands are smaller than his, he needed me).   Yep you read correctly!  One thing about me, I’m not afraid to get my hands a little dirty. All while in full make-up and lipstick! 😉   There is more to me than what you see weekly).  I can do a few other things as well 😉 .  Now you know a little bit more about me.
Needless to say I was worn out.  There was no time to plan for todays outfit.   This dress, autumn escape is the perfect name for this color because I’m certainly trying to escape to Autumn somewhere.  Oddly, I have another dress that’s very similar to this one.  I purchased this one about two years ago, I was SO surprised it fit, seriously!

Nothing is more girly than lace. The lace detail on this dress is so pretty with a scalloped hemline and scalloped neckline with three quarter length sleeves.  I kept the accessories girly with pearls.  Pearls are the most versatile piece of jewelry you can own (besides diamonds).  You can wear them with ANYTHING…  I chose to wear a nude T-strap patent leather high heel pumps.
My BAG today, a neutral colored bag with a 3D bow detail.  Accessories done!

Sunday Look: Shades of Blue

Blogs, , , , ,

Happy Sunday!  Each week we get closer to our summer coming to an end.  I still have so many (summer) things I would like to wear, but I feel like I’m running out of time especially with Labor Day right around the corner 🙂 .  This morning after trying on a few different outfits I decided on this ribbed country blue sheath dress with attached belt and side slits.

I accessorized with hints of pink and different shades of blue.  My necklace actually had two different shades of pink and blue and hints of white.  My earrings picked up one of the pink colors in the necklace.  Instead of my normal jewelry I mixed it up by wearing pink fashion rings on each hand. I chose an open toe block heel shoe in blue as well.  You might think, that’s a lot of blue.  It is, but it isn’t, the different shades of blue helped to break things up.   And by adding pink, that broke up the blue even more.  NO RULES…

 

My BAG was also blue 🙂 . I’ve carried this bag before and I still love all the heavy chain trim and quilted detail.  Like last time I shorten the strap to carry as a handbag instead of a shoulder-bag.

Sunday Look: Mother’s Day

Blogs, , , , , ,
Happy Mother’s Day!  My children are the greatest gift God could have given me.  How lucky am I to be their MOTHER.  The only sad thing about today, my mother is gone but her presence lives on in my ♥ …

Today’s outfit was something I saved just for today.  When I first saw it I thought, this is different.  This unique white sheath dress with attached floral, split maxi wrap left me feeling very girly!  I love how it blows in the wind.

I wanted to bring out the pink accents in the wrap.  I did that by simply adding pink earrings, necklace and peep toe shoes with pink highlights.

My BAG today was unique as well.  A box purse mimicking a perfume bottle added the final touch.

Happy Day of Love… What does one wear on Valentines Day?  RED…  I really wanted to wear something pink knowing many would be in RED.  Clearly that didn’t happen.  Red is actually my favorite color, oddly I don’t wear it enough.
This Sheath dress made from scuba fabric is very on trend.  I love everything about it.  It’s soft and very comfortable.  I wanted to do something different and not tack on a lot of jewelry, I decided on a scarf instead.  This scarf was a great find, so happy I ran across it.  And you won’t believe where.  I will just say SCORE…
I tried on a couple of different shoes but the LB won 😉 .  They go well with RED who knew LOL.
