Happy Sunday.  You know you live in Texas when you experience two seasons in two days, LOL!  I could have sworn it was summer on Saturday and today, well… I will leave it to your imagination.

When my mother passed away we didn’t keep a lot of her clothing.  We gave them away to a family friend.  We kept a few pieces, which I have in my possession.

Today’s outfit includes two of her things.   My dress and purse.  My mother has been gone for over a decade and this black sheath dress has never gone out of style.  I wear it once or twice a year.  No matter my size it always fits.  Today I added a belt to take it in a bit (it was a little big).  I also added a long mesh kimono for a more chic look.

Another Style Option: For a more tailored look, I could have added a blazer.

In addition to the belt, I wore a red and black scarf tied into a headband.  It was so windy today, a headband seemed like a good idea.  I kept the red going in two jewelry pieces, my necklace and earrings.  Instead of the usual black or red pump, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to wear these black ankle boots with a RED flower applique, so chic!  The pointy toe gave me life! 😉 .

My BAG as I mentioned was one of my mother’s.  It’s a simple black cloth clutch (very old).  It also has a short gold hand chain attached inside.  I love how old things can become new again with a little ingenuity!

There is BEAUTI  in everything, find it…
