Happy Sunday! Just like last week I’m still trying to find outfits that are cool while remaining respectable for Church. I accomplished that with this off- the- shoulder jumpsuit.
This jumpsuit is a linen and cotton blend (gives you less wrinkles than 100% linen). Linen is the perfect summer fabric! I also love how the fabric depicts flowers, bees and plants, so SUMMER right? The puff sleeves has a tie and a flounce. It also has POCKETS! Notice the tapered legs.
I accessorized with a wide textured necklace that has semi clear stones. My earrings mimic the same stones in the necklace. I also added a wide bracelet and two loose bangles. I pulled out the yellow in the jumpsuit by adding a skinny yellow belt to the elastic waist. When wearing linen with tapered legs you have to wear strappy sandals 😉 .
My BAG today was a twist on FUN… a wristlet in the silhouette of a yellow taxi cab. It’s such a fun and unexpected touch. Since linen is a casual fabric I didn’t want my BAG to be too formal.
Style Tip: If you wanted to take this outfit in a different direction, replace the heels with flats, lose the necklace and tie a yellow scarf around your head or neck.
Happy Sunday! What does one wear when it’s so HOT out? I know it’s a struggle to keep cool while trying to be fashionable. The first thing that comes to my mind “sleeveless”.
Today I took the perfect little sleeveless summer dress and paired it with a Kimono. (I wore the same dress in a different pattern a few weeks ago). A Kimono can take a simple dress and turn it into something more stylish. I ♥love♥ how this look turned out.
Accessorizing was so easy too! I picked two colors from the Kimono and used those colors in my accessories. My necklace made a statement. I coordinated earrings and bangles to finish my jewelry look. My shoes had to be platform peep-toe heels for the greatest impact 😉 .
Style Tip: One way to make your necklace a statement piece, combine two for one look. If you really want to make a statement, combine two different colors which is what I did for this look.
My BAG today, an orange handbag with a detailed “X” pattern on the front flap in addition to a decorative gold clasp and chain. Perfect bag for this outfit.
Happy Sunday to all. I hope everyone had a great week. I have an exciting week ahead, we have company coming for a week. I still have so much to do. Stay tuned to my FB and IG stories.
For starters, I tend to be a little color blind. I usually rely on the tag to tell me what color I’m wearing. No such luck today. I’m sticking with neutral.
Today’s outfit is a two-piece eyelet lace flamenco (or high-low). It reminds me of the Chiquita Banana dress! 🙂 . I was so excited when I saw this outfit. Anything that’s suppose to be off the shoulder I’m here for it! (style tip:if you have trouble keeping the top in place try using double sized tape). Secondly, I love the fit of the skirt, it hugged me just right! 😉
I took the opportunity to go big on one of my accessories. I’ve been wanting to wear this necklace for over a year and it never looked good with anything. Not today, it paired perfectly with my off-the-shoulder top. I opted for smaller earrings so they wouldn’t compete with the necklace. Bangles on each arm kept with theme. I chose an open toe sandal with a chunky heel and pearl detail.
My BAG today, I took the opportunity to carry a new handbag. It went well with my neutral outfit, I love the floral detailing which added some additional color. (style tip: smaller handbags are on the rise).
Hello and Happy Sunday! I hope everyone had a fantastic July 4th holiday. As you may have noticed I did not post a blog last week. The main reason, I wore a suit that I had previously blogged two years ago. But! I’m back this week with a new outfit to share.
Some might be saying what are paperbag waist pants? Paperbag waist pants are loose fitting pants that happen to be very comfortable. They have a slightly higher waist and tie at the waist making a ruffle detail. In order to make the waist stand out as intended, you should pair them with a tighter fitting top for a flattering silhouette.
I think I accomplished just that by pairing my paperbag waist pants with a tight fitting floral mesh top. The colors mimics Summer. The shimmer of the pant fabric makes them dressier and perfect for Church. I can also wear these pants to work or a night out on the town.
I accessorized the outfit with tri colored jewelry, it picked up on the colors nicely. I was so inspired by the top, I decided to go with a floral strappy sandal.
My BAG, I was further inspired by the floral top and shoes that I continued with a beautiful floral clutch. The details on the bag are FABULOUS!
I hope you’ve learned a little bit about paperbag waist pants and I certainly hope you try a pair. You won’t be disappointed 😉 .
I accessorized with a wide textured necklace that has semi clear stones. My earrings mimic the same stones in the necklace. I also added a wide bracelet and two loose bangles. I pulled out the yellow in the jumpsuit by adding a skinny yellow belt to the elastic waist. When wearing linen with tapered legs you have to wear strappy sandals 😉 .
