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”!
There is BEAUTI in everything, find it…

Happy Sunday! This past week was very interesting. The most exciting thing, SNOW, yes snow! Everyone including myself was so excited. Snow is not something we see very often, especially not before Christmas. It really made it feel like the HOLIDAYS! It’s all gone now 🙁 and the temperatures, well… 🙁 ! 
In keeping with the Christmas season I felt like incorporating red into my wardrobe again this week (it’s my favorite color in case you didn’t know). I was feeling brave by wearing this form fitting sweater dress. But there was something about it that spoke HOLIDAY to me. The red and back stripes has a woven line of sparkle in-between each stripe. I was surprised at how form fitting it was and felt like it needed a belt. Instead of a traditional belt, I tied a wide black ribbon in a bow around my waist, that really changed the entire look.
