Sunday Look: A Summer Like Fall

Blogs, , , , ,

Hello and Happy Sunday! I told myself a few weeks ago that I would wait until Fall for my next Blog Post. Well, Fall is here yet it still feels like summer. I would be hard pressed to wear anything other than cool clothing. Come on Fall weather, I’ll wait….

Now that Labor Day has passed don’t be surprised if you still see me wearing white. I don’t follow that age old rule. Do you?

I seem to be on a yellow kick here lately. You know how they say “that’s your color” I think its mine. It gives me a certain glow 🙂 .

Looks from the past few weeks….

Today’s outfit is my third yellow look this month. It wasn’t planned, I never know what I’m going to wear ahead of time.

Today I’m wearing a cotton linen blend, tiered A-line maxi dress. In yellow of course. Again not planned. I was actually trying to be cool, no pun intended 😉 .

Can we talk about the ELEPHANT in the room LOL, LOL… When I tell you this necklace was an attention grabber from the moment I stepped into the doors of the church. And to think I almost didn’t purchase this necklace. I had second thoughts this morning too. Now I love it! It certainly made a statement. I finished the accessories with gold drop loop earrings and a gold bracelet. My trusty cork texture high heel sandals always comes through in a pinch. After-all who wants to wear closed toe shoes after having a new coat of polish on their toes? Honestly, they really pair well with yellow.

My BAG today was another trusty accessory I can always count on. Everyone should invest in a wood/bamboo handbag. It can be carried in all seasons.

Hello and Happy Sunday… You can really tell Spring has sprung around here. We’ve had some pretty nice days and some hot ones too. It’s time we went full bloom. 

Speaking of clothing, I have a couple of stories to share with you. I was in a retail store and saw a dress I really liked that was on the mannequin. I asked a floor attendant if they had it in stock. She said, “let me check” and asked me what size I needed. I said “a LARGE.” She came back with the dress and said, “I pulled you an EXTRA LARGE”. I didn’t ask for an extra large I asked for a LARGE! She pulled me a large and it fit perfectly. My question is this… Should she have pulled the size I asked for in the beginning? Was she calling me fat? I’m not so sure how I felt about it. Am I over exaggerating? What are your thoughts?

Second story. I was in a restaurant and a server dropped his tray and something splashed all over my new dress.  The server was apologetic and got me a hot, wet napkin to clean my dress. A few minutes later the manager comes over to see if I was successful in removing whatever they spilled from my dress. I have one question… What happened to giving the patron something for the mishap? They could have offered to clean my dress. They could have offered me a gift card, desert or something. I got nothing, just an apology. I guess I should be grateful for that! What do you think?

Let’s talk about today’s outfit. I was so excited about this yellow tiered sun dress. I loved the scalloped straps, they differ from your traditional spaghetti straps. I also felt it was appropriate for church, no need for a cover-up. The color is so vivid and screams Spring & Summer. This dress would look good with flat sandals as well.

I chose to accessorize with some fun, white, 3D earrings in the shape of a flower; paired with a flower necklace . I added three bangles for an added layer of color. My shoes really set off the entire outfit. The colorful floral fabric jumped out at you immediately. Such a great look!

My BAG today was also an added pop of color. I chose a green handbag with a gold strap. The green bag pulled out the green in my shoe.

HAPPY SUNDAY… Well, am I bright or what? You know I Love COLOR. I’ve been looking in my closet week after week at this skirt and top. I loved it on the hanger but wasn’t sure about it being on me LOL.

Its bright I know, but I do LOVE it… There is something to be said for a Crop Top and A-line Skirt, they go well together. Its very flirty  🙂 The raised flower petal detail is so strong I didn’t need to add many accessories. I kept the necklace simple and opted for a toned down shoe color.

Lets talk about my bag. I was so excited to carry it today and it was PERFECT with my outfit. It’s not vintage but instead a vintage replica, I will cherish it for years to come.

Style Tip: Don’t be afraid of color. Take your time in choosing the right color, mix and match contrasting colors they really make a statement.
