Sunday Look: Green Ribbed Dress

Blogs, , , , , , ,

Happy Sunday Guys!  How can this be the last Sunday in January?  It’s been a long month.  Still one of my favorite months of the year. It’s going to be hard to say good-bye to my celebration month.  Looking forward to Valentines ♥.

Our weekend started off full of fun and involved really dressing up!  We had the pleasure of attending a Black Tie Gala honoring our Pastor’s 15th Anniversary.  It was a great night to honor our Pastor, dine and mingle with our brothers and sisters in Christ.  Dressing up in our finest added to the occasion.

Today’s outfit is rather simple. This ribbed high collar dress happens to be 95% Ecologically Grown Cotton. A cotton grown using practices that help protect biodiversity.   I’m happy to do my part for our environment. You won’t believe the price either!  If you want it, hurry not many sizes left.

Notice the accessories? Give me a minute and I will address it. For starters, this color pairs well with silver.  Since there was no secondary color to pull from, I opted for silver jewelry and white studded ankle boots.  YES, white boots! Forget about that old cliche’ of not wearing white after Labor Day.  Trust me, it’s ok and still trending in 2020!

I purchased the boots around the November timeframe from Macy’s “Last Act Sale”.  I will add two links where to get similar pairs below.

My BAG, a winter white, faux reptile clutch trimmed with a little bit of black and silver. Nailed it!  How simple is this entire outfit?  I love effortless dressing.

Sunday Look: Classic Two-Piece

Happy Sunday! Happy MLK weekend. For the past several years two of my grand girls have been a part of the MLK festivities with their middle school choir. I shed tears every year.  I love hearing my grand girls sing and taking part in such a memorable celebration.  They have beautiful voices by the way! 🙂 .

There was a chill in the air this morning.  This was the perfect opportunity to sport this classic houndstooth single breast jacket and wide leg crop pant.  I love the wide covered belt and buckle. The wide leg pants are cropped with a flat front.  The two pieces look good together, there was no splitting up these matching pieces.  I added a black crew neck shirt underneath which served as the perfect backdrop for a black & white (long) pearl necklace.  I’m so in LOVE with this necklace, I can hardly handle it 🙂 .

In addition to the black & white pearl necklace, I wore black & white dangling earrings. Threw in a few bangles as well.  I like to wear an odd number when I accessorize with bangles.  I just happen to have the perfect black pointy toe pumps.  This look…. I was feeling it!

My BAG today was a little black on black bag with a chain detail.  It also features a faux pom pom.  It comes with a strap to wear as a crossbody or shoulder bag.  This particular bag is sold out. You can purchase it on the secondary market I’m sure.

Sunday Look: Faux Leather “Restyled”

Blogs, , , , , , ,

Happy Sunday Guys!  How is the start of 2020 treating you?  I’m having a little bit of a struggle trying to get back into a routine.  I had no trouble celebrating my 59th birthday last Wednesday 🙂 .  I celebrated my actual “birthday” with the family only.

I celebrated again on Friday with my husband, daughter and several close friends.

Oh! I almost forgot, I did a mimi photo shoot on my birthday too. I will share those pics soon.

Today’s dress was a repeat. I restyled it with different accessories. I last wore this dress February of 2016.

Surprisingly, my husband remembered my dress from last time.  He actually chose it for me.  The color reminded him of his favorite college football team.

This time around I wore rose gold jewelry and solid colored heels.  That’s all I had to do in order to change it up.

My BAG today, the cutest little animal print handbag. I consider animal print a neutral. It was a nice contrast to the tone on tone of my dress and heels.

Shopping your closet can make something old, new again!

Sunday Look: Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Wow, 2020 can you believe it?  Out with the old and in with the new.  Unfortunately I ended my year with the Flu.  I missed Christmas, my favorite holiday of the year.  We weren’t able to get our normal family Christmas Eve photo either.  I was looking forward to showing off our matching shirts.  I want a do-over!  I also missed the last Sunday of the year too 🙁 .   Nothing was going to stop me from celebrating the first Sunday of the year/new decade.

This happens to be my birthday week as well.  I’m so excited for Wednesday, turning 59!  I’m hoping my heath holds and I get to celebrate my way.  Time to start planning for the big 60…Image result for 59"

Today’s look was rather simple.  This is the dress I planned on wearing last Sunday (hence the pop of RED).  This dress reminds me of something out of the sixties.  All I needed was Go-Go Boots and a hair flip.  I chose it for the pop of red. Simple, yet  cute.

Accessorizing was easy, again. I kept it simple by wearing black earrings and black necklace.  I saved the additional pops of red for my shoes and handbag.

Speaking of my BAG, is this not the cutest RED box bag?  A little gift to myself.  I love the faux reptile print look.  It’s Vegan!
