Sunday Look: MOD

Blogs, , , , , , , , ,

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.

Happy Sunday…. and I say that with a cool smile if you know what I mean.  Let me tell you, we had a temporary cool snap and I LOVED it!   

Last night as I was trying to decide what today’s outfit would be,  I was a bit perplexed.  Being a “hot box” and since it was a tad bit cooler I felt some type of way about going sleeveless.  This blue suede dress was middle ground.  Just enough sleeve for the current tempature.  I knew I wanted to wear boots, I’ve been itching to do so.  Why not right?  As strange as it may seem I also opted for hosiery, I only wore them for a more finished look between the boots and dress.  I wasn’t feeling my bare legs.  Yall know I have some skinny legs (but I have crazy calf muscles, weird I know) and I needed something to fill in the boots 🙂 🙂 LOL! 

My accessories needed to make a statement, so I went a little bold with the necklace which served dual purpose . It lit up the dark blue dress and complimented my boots.  My BAG,  I chose this rectangular clutch with a woven pattern. 

STYLE TIP: As the temperatures drop be sure to bring out the leather, suede and the latest trend VELVET, yes velvet is all the craze right now!  I only have a couple of pieces.  Sounds like a good reason to go shopping! 😉 .

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, enjoy your family and friends… xo

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!!!!
