Sunday Look: Plaid on Point

Blogs, , , , , ,

Happy Sunday… I hope everyone had a very pleasant Thanksgiving.  We had twelve family and friends at the dinner table, my heart was happy.   As a blogger I missed the opportunity to take advantage of the “Black Friday Sales”.  I’m sure there were some great deals out there I could have shared with you today.  Maybe next year 😉 .  I have to admit I was exhausted.  I must have been really tired, I did not wake up until around 8:50 am this morning.  This is highly unusual for me.  I’m usually up around 7:00 am.  I had no time to plan an outfit.  I picked the first thing I saw and added to it.  I have to admit it was so much easier, I didn’t have time to put a lot of thought into it.   I should do that more often 🙂 .  It’s officially the holiday season guys!  I’m excited for the holiday fashions.  I’m looking forward to seeing what you guys will be wearing this Holiday Season.
For this last Sunday in November, I’m feeling the Fall vibe.  I’ve been itching to wear plaid, It’s trending big-time right now!  I chose this plaid print top with a mix of hounds-tooth (or it chose me) with the look of two tops rolled into one, a twofer.  The bottom half looks like a corset with a tie front.  The top half is a classic shirt with collar and button front which I left unbuttoned.   I paired it with a pair of black palazzo pants.

My accessories were very simple.  I added a layered necklace within the button front.  Big earrings and a wide bracelet.  I wore black patent leather pointy toe heels to give me some height.  I’m  5’4″ and have to stay elevated for most of my pants to not drag the ground 😉 .

My BAG today was playful, a two toned black and white square clutch with YES & NO printed on each side.  Fun, fun, fun…

Style Tip:  This top would also look good with a long pencil skirt -or- A-line maxi skirt.

Sunday Look: Bold Animal Print

Blogs, , , , ,
Happy Sunday…. You all know I’m smiling from ear to ear.  Why? Because this is my kind of weather.  I’m loving this little cool spell we’re having.  It was so nice to wear something fitting for the season.  I had a little bit of sticker shock this weekend at the dry-cleaners. Keep in mind that I don’t take things to the dry-cleaners very often.  I had no clue what it would cost to dry-clean a light-weight jacket.  I was shocked, when the cashier said $16 See the source image .

Let’s talk about this jacket.  I’ve had it for about five years (that’s why I had to take it to the dry-cleaners).  I love to go shopping in my closets when the seasons change.  I totally forgot I had this jacket.  Can’t remember the last time I wore it either.

Animal  print is such a Fall staple, add black and white to the mix and you have a classic look.  I love the belted look on jackets.  You can tie a giant bow or a knot.  I opted for a knot.  I also like how you can pop the collar if you like.  Black ankle length slacks paired perfectly with the jacket.  Each piece is so simple, put them together and you get a fashionable look 😉 .

I accessorized with a multi strand of white pearls and pearl earrings.
Black patent leather pointy toe heels added a polished finish.

My BAG today was a satin clutch with a whimsical closure,  This bag can be worn as a shoulder bag too!  That’s how I carried it today.

Sunday Look: She In A Graphic Tee

Blogs, , , ,
Hello, Happy Sunday…. Welcome to November!  I can’t, November already.  November is a huge month in my family.  We have three birthdays and our wedding anniversary.  Just so happens, our anniversary falls on Thanksgiving this year. Does that mean I still have to cook? LOL…  That would be a yes!  😉 .  Oh! hopefully you remembered to set your clock back 1 hour.  Did you enjoy that extra hour of sleep?

Today’s outfit, OBSESSED!…  I grabbed this colorful graphic tee-shirt while in Las Vegas a few weeks ago.  I had to have it.  It was meant for me, it was the last one in the store my size. I love the portrayal of a positive black women. The graphics are so vibrant. I love her blue eyeliner and yellow glasses.  Her earring really pops with the colorful gemstones applique.  I had to style her with “metallic jeans”.  I gave the tee a little front tuck.  I love the two together.  Did I say “I’m obsessed” ?  because I am…  It was quite the conversation piece today too.

 

I got questions as to how I was going to have it laundered.  Her earring applique is removable, BUT  I may frame it to preserve!

A graphic tee this bold needs little to no accessories.  I wasn’t about to take anything away from her.  I mimicked her earring with a pair of long dangles with clear gemstones.  Now, let’s talk about the Animal in the room 🙂 .  These animal print pumps (I picked these up in Las Vegas too!)  I knew the moment I saw them I would wear them with this tee.  I love to play with mixed prints.  I mean… ♥♥♥

My BAG today, a cute little black quilted velvet shoulder bag.   I kept it simple so she could be the center of attention.
