Sunday Look: A Texas Fall & Florals

Blogs, , , , , ,
Happy Sunday everyone…. Its been a couple of weeks since I’ve had a chance to post.   I’m back even though I’m very late.  I’ve been very busy these last couple of week.  I managed to sneak in a little bit of travel.  A girls trip to Las Vegas 😉 .   It’s amazing how fast times is passing us by.  It will be November in a few days.  I don’t want to think about it.   I wouldn’t be myself if I didn’t comment on the crazy Fall weather we’ve been having.  I was SOOOOO excited when we had our little cool snap a couple of weeks ago.   Today, not so much, but it’s all good.
That leads me to today’s outfit.  I was really struggling this morning, I had my mind set on cooler weather.  Lucky for me I have some hidden gems in the back of my closet.  I purchased this floral jewel tone dress with three-quarter length bell sleeves last year during a Macy’s end of year sale.  The colors are just beautiful, wouldn’t you agree?   I almost forgot about it until this morning.

I knew I wanted to wear a shade of pink today no matter what.  I like to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness month.  The colors in my dress allowed me to do just that through earrings.  The pink balls with added bling set the tone for my other jewelry accessories.  The collar necklace was made for this dress and I didn’t even know it.. LOL!  It was perfect.  I finished my jewelry choices with silver bangles.  But…. wait a minute.  I don’t know how I did it, but I chose the perfect shoe.  A turquoise suede pointy toe high heel.  I was like, WOW! this really looks good with all the beautiful colors.   I’m amazed how things always manage to come together.   I was thrilled with this outcome 🙂  🙂 .

My BAG today, a faux leather shoulder bag with a large faux reptile print.

Sunday Look: Butterfly Maxi

Blogs, , , , ,
Happy Sunday everyone.  Ever feel like there isn’t enough hours in the day?  I wish we had an extra day to just chill…  Time is moving, we’re moving deeper into the Fall season and I’m loving every minute of it!
Today’s outfit was a crowd pleaser, I got so many complements on this dress.  Funny, I was just saying last week that I didn’t wear very many maxi dresses and ended up wearing another one this week 🙂 .  The butterfly motif makes for a very exotic  look.  The abundance of fabric flows like a butterfly too.   Even though I love all the deep beautiful colors, I wasn’t happy with the overall look of the dress.  I changed the look by doing two little things.  For starters, I pushed the long elastic sleeves midway up my arms, doing this made a “bell-like” sleeve. I also added a wide belt to the elastic waistband.  These two simple changes created a totally different look.  It was that easy 😉 !

The neckline has a very deep “V” where I chose to wear a jeweled collar necklace.  It also has a front center split which mimics the V-neckline.  I decided on a neutral shoe, (pointy toe pumps) so they wouldn’t get lost in all the color.  The wide neutral belt served the same purpose, breaking up the color pallet. Plus, look at my waist… it’s cinched BABY! Colorful earrings and bangles rounded out the accessories.
Style Tip:  Don’t be afraid to use neutrals, they can enhance a bold color pallet. 

My BAG today was a neutral tote, I felt like I needed something substantial next to all that colorful goodness 🙂 .
