Hello and Happy Sunday! January is almost out of here. It’s been a roller coaster of temperatures around here. As you already know I love the cold. I have so many Winter clothes and it drives me crazy that I never get to wear them. At this point it seems hopeless. Today I said no matter the temperature, I’m wearing my velvet. If not today, when?

Velvet is such an elegant Winter fabric. I wore this beautiful black velvet novelty lace skirt. I picked it up at a New Years Sale! It’s such an elegant skirt and can easily be worn in a formal setting. Lucky for me I had this velvet v-neck tank (which I had forgotten about). I also had this velvet two button blazer in my closet too. All three pieces together “blew my mind” 🙂 they made a pretty classy outfit.

That’s a lot of black velvet I know. But it all works so well together. I wouldn’t change anything. I accessorized with drop earrings in black and white. I wore a pearl choker necklace. This particular necklace worked best for me. I wore two silver bangles on each wrist today. I haven’t worn many bangles lately. I left a few of my favorites behind in Las Vegas (not purposely though). I debated with myself about wearing hose today. I didn’t think the outfit really needed it. Although, sheer black hose would look good too. It’s a personal choice I guess. The extreme pointy toe pumps was enough for me.

Any little black bag would have worked. I didn’t want anything to compete with the skirt. I kept the handbag simple, it has just a touch of bling on the clasp. A black velvet bag would work well too.

Did you know yesterday was National Spouses Day? My spouse and photographer.

There is BEAUTI in everything, find it…
