Sunday Look: Vertical Stripes

Blogs, , , , ,

Happy Sunday! This month is flying outta here isn’t it? It’s time to start planning a vacation. I have no idea where we should go. I see all these different outfits that’s giving me so much inspiration. I’m feeling tropical. While I’m so ready to jet off somewhere, I’m also a bit scared. Just give me the vacation wardrobe!

Today’s outfit would be perfect for any vacation. The vertical stripes in this two piece top and pants (with pockets and attached belt) can be worn together like I’m wearing it with a simple front tuck or you can wear them separately. Just think, these two pieces are very versatile. You can easily get three different outfits. These pants look great with a white hi-low top and the top looks great with white jeans or shorts. And you know what they say “vertical stripes make you look thinner” I’m all for looking thinner 😉 .

No accessories are really needed for this outfit, BUT I had to accessorize. I felt like these silver ball drop earrings, silver disc necklace and my bangles dresses up an otherwise simple outfit. That’ the BEAUTI of versatility! I love how the white pointy toe pumps tie into the entire outfit.

My BAG, you’ve seen it before. I have this bag in a few different colors and It’s one of my go to Sunday bags. I love the chain detail.

What are your vacation plans?

There is BEAUTI in everything, find it…

Sunday Look: Sunshine

Blogs, , , , ,

Hello and Happy Sunday… You can really tell Spring has sprung around here. We’ve had some pretty nice days and some hot ones too. It’s time we went full bloom. 

Speaking of clothing, I have a couple of stories to share with you. I was in a retail store and saw a dress I really liked that was on the mannequin. I asked a floor attendant if they had it in stock. She said, “let me check” and asked me what size I needed. I said “a LARGE.” She came back with the dress and said, “I pulled you an EXTRA LARGE”. I didn’t ask for an extra large I asked for a LARGE! She pulled me a large and it fit perfectly. My question is this… Should she have pulled the size I asked for in the beginning? Was she calling me fat? I’m not so sure how I felt about it. Am I over exaggerating? What are your thoughts?

Second story. I was in a restaurant and a server dropped his tray and something splashed all over my new dress.  The server was apologetic and got me a hot, wet napkin to clean my dress. A few minutes later the manager comes over to see if I was successful in removing whatever they spilled from my dress. I have one question… What happened to giving the patron something for the mishap? They could have offered to clean my dress. They could have offered me a gift card, desert or something. I got nothing, just an apology. I guess I should be grateful for that! What do you think?

Let’s talk about today’s outfit. I was so excited about this yellow tiered sun dress. I loved the scalloped straps, they differ from your traditional spaghetti straps. I also felt it was appropriate for church, no need for a cover-up. The color is so vivid and screams Spring & Summer. This dress would look good with flat sandals as well.

I chose to accessorize with some fun, white, 3D earrings in the shape of a flower; paired with a flower necklace . I added three bangles for an added layer of color. My shoes really set off the entire outfit. The colorful floral fabric jumped out at you immediately. Such a great look!

My BAG today was also an added pop of color. I chose a green handbag with a gold strap. The green bag pulled out the green in my shoe.

Sunday Look: Mother’s Day 2019

Uncategorized, , , , ,

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, grandmother’s and mother figures!  I’m so blessed to be the mother of two very wonderful children, Darwin and Tarryn.  With the help of my husband we truly raised two incredible humans.

Mothers Day is always hard for me.  I say I’m not going to cry and end up doing so anyway.  It mostly happens at church, especially when the men sing “Mama”  I totally break down.  I miss my mother!

My Sweet Mama

I will keep today’s post short.  Oh! when I tell you I struggled last night trying to find something to wear on this special day “Mother’s Day”.  Let’s just say nothing fit 😉 .  Reality ladies, reality. 

Today’s outfit was a tent dress.  I’ve worn one of these before.  I love the off-the-shoulder look the most.  You know my saying; “A woman’s shoulders are the most beautiful part of her body”.  It doesn’t hurt that this dress has pockets either.

Accessorizing was soooo simple.  Long silver and white earrings, with a charmless silver choker.  I loaded up on silver bangles, can’t get enough.  I chose a high heel pump with a very pointy toe and spikes all around.  I’ve been itching to wear this shoe for over a year now.  Today was the perfect day to rock them! 

My handbag was special. A gift from my husband.  A large colorful clutch, that can be worn with just about any color.  It was a great compliment to my outfit. 

This is what makes me a mom and grandmother!

Happy Mother’s Day!!!! Enjoy!
