Sunday Look: A Velvet Touch

Uncategorized

Hello and Happy Sunday! January is almost out of here. It’s been a roller coaster of temperatures around here. As you already know I love the cold. I have so many Winter clothes and it drives me crazy that I never get to wear them. At this point it seems hopeless. Today I said no matter the temperature, I’m wearing my velvet. If not today, when?

Velvet is such an elegant Winter fabric. I wore this beautiful black velvet novelty lace skirt. I picked it up at a New Years Sale! It’s such an elegant skirt and can easily be worn in a formal setting. Lucky for me I had this velvet v-neck tank (which I had forgotten about). I also had this velvet two button blazer in my closet too. All three pieces together “blew my mind” 🙂 they made a pretty classy outfit.

That’s a lot of black velvet I know. But it all works so well together. I wouldn’t change anything. I accessorized with drop earrings in black and white. I wore a pearl choker necklace. This particular necklace worked best for me. I wore two silver bangles on each wrist today. I haven’t worn many bangles lately. I left a few of my favorites behind in Las Vegas (not purposely though). I debated with myself about wearing hose today. I didn’t think the outfit really needed it. Although, sheer black hose would look good too. It’s a personal choice I guess. The extreme pointy toe pumps was enough for me.

Any little black bag would have worked. I didn’t want anything to compete with the skirt. I kept the handbag simple, it has just a touch of bling on the clasp. A black velvet bag would work well too.

Did you know yesterday was National Spouses Day? My spouse and photographer.

Sunday Look: The Power of Red

Happy Sunday everyone! I missed you last week… Everyone knows how I love the cold right? Well, last week for some reason the wind cut right through me, it took hours for my body to warm up. I was like, what’s happening? Living in Texas you can count on experiencing all four season in one week. You’d think I would be use to it by now (HA!)

Well, today was a cool day and I was prepared. Yes, I wore a coat for a change. I don’t get many chances to wear one being the hot box that I am. I figured today was my best chance.

If you know me, you know that my favorite color is RED. When I saw this red and black animal print dress with high collar and long sleeves I had to have it. I didn’t try it on before I purchased it (wish I had) I could have sized down one. (Unfortunately this particular dress is sold out. I will link a similar one down below). I also purchased this red one button double weave coat with front pockets. I didn’t have a solid red coat in my wardrobe. It helped that it was on sale too! The dress and coat turned out to be a perfect combination for not being planned.

I decided to accessorize with black accessories. I wore extra long black earrings with a black/gold necklace. And I used a black ribbon as a belt. Instead of wearing pumps I wore black knee high leather boots with a medium heel.

My BAG today was a faux leather flap bag. It was all about the black accessories.

Everything I wore today is on sale “now” get them while you can.

Sunday Look: MOD

Happy first Sunday of 2019… Guess what guys? It’s my birthday week! My birthday is in two days. I’m so excited. 🙂 . Do you get birthday perks from merchants? I’ve gotten freebies and percentages off from jewelry to food and everything in-between. I may not be able to use them all, but I’m certainly going to try 😉 .  

Is this weather playing tricks on us or what? That’s Texas weather for ya! I had to completely change up my wardrobe plans for today. The forecast wasn’t favorable for what I was planning to wear.

Today’s outfit, a matching two piece (sold separately). A MOD long duster-inspired vest with oversized patch pockets paired with slim straight leg pants. This look is so retro, especially the print. It reminds me of the 70’s. Plaid has been a huge trend for the Fall and Winter seasons. I should be able to restyle this outfit by wearing the pants without the vest and pairing the vest with jeans or a long skirt with boots.

It didn’t take much to accessories this outfit. A long pearl & gold necklace and earrings did the job. I wore cream colored suede pointy toe pumps. Wearing the lighter colors enhanced the colors of the plaid.

My BAG, a cream fold-over clutch with patches of animal print. I thought it would be fun to mix the plaid and animal print. I love mixing different patterns and textures together. The two paired very well together.
