Happy Sunday! Saying good-bye to Winter… as the season changes we sometimes get caught between the two. Today was one of those days, I really didn’t know what to wear. The struggle is real sometimes 😉 . One day it’s cool and the next day it feels like Summer. Even though I love the cooler weather, I’m ready for some bright colors and to be done with this roller coaster weather. How do you transition to the next season?
Through all the confusion, I decided on a black sheer top with tulip sleeves and an embroidered blue and black ball skirt. This light weight sheer top was perfect for a warm day like today. The skirt being a little heavier helped to balance the entire outfit and it’s suitable for the season. I wore the top untucked and added a skinny belt for dimension.
I kept the accessories pretty light today as well. Wooden earrings and a knotted bead necklace. Since everything else was pretty low key, I chose to bling it up with my shoes. The jeweled glitter platforms sparkle with blue and black tones. The heel backs are jeweled up as well.
My BAG was a small blue handbag with gold accents. Sometime less is more.

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!

Happy Sunday! OMG guys I had a pretty busy, FUN and awesome weekend. I was so tired I had to take a nap which is why my post is so late today. I wore 5 inch heels from six o’clock yesterday evening until 2:30 this morning. We attended Flavors of Austin fund raiser for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). We had the opportunity to meet some great NFL Legends. My husband was in his element. You know we had to partake in the after party! My feet were so swollen and hurting this morning I could not wear any of my shoes 🙁 . That meant I needed a miracle because I don’t own very many flats 🙁 It took a little while to find something but I prevailed, LOL!
Todays outfit had to serve twofold. I was going for a vintage look where I could incorporate the sock bootie (because I needed something soft on my feet). I had this pencil skirt with beautiful floral blooms and a sheer top that was full of blooms as well. I fell in love with this top because of the gathered elastic sleeves. Even though both pieces had two different textures, they gave me the vintage feel I was hoping to pull off.
In addition to my sock peep toe booties, I accessorized with pearl jewelry keeping with that soft vintage look.
My BAG today was large cream tote. Sometimes you just need a big bag to hold all the extra essentials, which I needed to have with me today.
