Sunday Look: T-Shirt & Gingham Ruffle Skirt

Happy Sunday and Memorial Day Weekend!  It’s a hot one I know that… how are we suppose to keep cool?  It’s almost too hot to put on clothes 🙂  🙂
Today’s outfit was an attempt to be as cool as possible.  Nothing cooler than a thin white T-shirt.  I paired that with a fuchsia (its not redgingham ruffled skirt.  Yes I’m in gingham again!  Didn’t plan it that way 😉 . The skirt pairs very well with the T-shirt and makes for a very casual cool Sunday look.

Something this casual doesn’t need very many accessories.  I added a wide white belt, shades of pink bauble earrings and a trio of necklaces (16″, 18″ & 20″ trending).  Of course I’m never complete without my high heels.  Today I opted for white peep toed platforms.

My BAG today keeping with the casual look, a pink crossbody.  I simply knotted the strap to shorten and carried it at the knot.  Simple!

There is BEAUTI  in everything, find it…
Enjoy the Memorial Day Holiday and remember their sacrifice.

Sunday Look: Gingham and Boots

 
Happy Sunday!  Rain, rain and more rain is how our Sunday started.  I’m very particular about what I wear when it’s raining.  I tend to dress a little more casual and carefully choose a shoe that doesn’t get ruined by the rain.
That’s today’s outfit, a casual gingham dress in black and white .  It disguises itself to look like a skirt with the side tie.    By the way gingham is trending.

I really wanted this look to pop and come off as being edgy.  I think I accomplished that by leaving the top three buttons open and adding a chunky necklace in the space.  I turned the cuffs up to revile the striped lining for a contrasting look. The icing on the cake, white ankle boots.  Not only are they stylish but they were the perfect footwear for a rainy day like today.  I’m loving how my legs look in these boots, this calls for a 😉  😉  LOL!    Had I not left the buttons open and kept the sleeves un-cuffed, it would have resulted in a very different look.   Don’t let these white boots scare you either.  They were trending BIG TIME this past winter.  Not many would dare to wear white boots in the dead of winter season.  BUT, Fashion is passion and I’m passionate about my FASHION…  anyway, a boot like this is ok to wear during the Spring and Summer months, it’s all up to you.  “If you like it, wear it”  that’s my  motto.  And I like it!

My BAG today was a white tote with ring handles and studs.  It sealed that edgy look I was going for 🙂  .

Sunday Look: Mother’s Day – Sheer Box Pleats

It’s Mother’s Day…  Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers and Mother figures, hoping your day has been a blessed one.  Mine has been great!  So I will keep today’s post short and sweet 😉 .
Every Mother’s Day I have this vision of how I want to look.  I think Mother’s Day is extra special.  I had my heart set on wearing white.  When I was a little girl my mother would always dress me and my sisters in white.  We all wore a red carnation See the source imageto signify our mother was living.  She wore a white oneSee the source image .  You don’t see that anymore.  Oh! the memories 🙂 .
Today’s outfit, a cream colored sheer box pleat dress.  It was the perfect Mother’s Day dress.  When it came to accessories I chose one of my two favorite necklaces, no other would do.  I paired that with long pearl earrings and bracelet. I chose a fabric platform high heel sandal with a sweet little side flower.  Everything went together well.

My BAG today  a cream colored “doctor bag” with gold trim. It held all the extra necessities.

Sunday Look: Peach and Pearls

Happy Sunday!  Here we are again, blessed with a new month along with new adventures.  You know what that means, Mother’s Day is only a week away.  I posted my  Gift Giving Guide last night. You can find it following this Blog Post or search for Mother’s Day May 13, Gift Guide.  Feel free to share!

Mother’s Day Gift Guide
 See the source imageThey say “April Showers bring May Flowers”.  It’s true just look at my dress.  Today’s outfit is a little peach floral swing dress.  I’ve always been a fan of the scuba like fabric.  The halter neckline makes it the perfect dress for Spring.   I feel this particular halter neckline is appropriate for church, the silhouette is not as revealing.  You could easily add a Spring cardigan for more coverage.

Accessorizing this dress was a no brainer to say the least.  The color definitely called for soft pearl jewelry.  A long pearl tassel necklace was the ideal choice for this neckline.  I added earrings set with multiple pearl and clear stones and a pearl bracelet. But the showstopper for me, were my champagne colored, block heel sandals embedded with pearls across the toe strap and heel.  I purchased these shoes about two or three months ago, they were a great find.  I wondered what I would pair them with besides jeans.  They served their purpose today by dressing up my little peach dress.  I recently shared them on my IG page styleyourbestbeauti  follow me for more fashion and fun stuff.

 

A little dress calls for the perfect handbag right?  I chose this peach flap bag with partial gold chain.  Yep, I did  it again choosing the right handbag for the right outfit 😉 .  I love when that happens.
