Hello and Happy Sunday!  Hope you all had a great week and did something fun.  You know, I had this idea that I wanted a new dress, I haven’t purchased one in a while.  Instead of going out for a new dress I decided to shop my closet.  There is always something new (even if I’ve had it for a couple of years) hiding with the tags still on it.

Today’s outfit a black and white fit and flare pleated dress with a solid black bodice and tons of black dots.  I’m pretty sure that was the attraction.  I actually played with this black and white theme a bit.   I had the option of a black shawl in case I got cold.  It looked really cute draped with the necklace.  I wasn’t cold therefore I didn’t need it.  Just an option other than the usual cardigan for those that feel uncomfortable being sleeveless for various reasons.

Speaking of twists, I love pompoms and pompom clip-ons, they can make a boring shoe pop!  I tried something a little different by wearing one each of the black and white pompom.  Totally outside the box and a fun addition.

I’m in love with this black and white pearl beaded necklace.  It’s always a conversation piece whenever I wear it.  I thought it paired well with the dress.  I also wore black and white round earrings.  I wanted to do something other than pearls.  I also added bangles on each arm.  I felt really put together in this outfit.  Black and White is so classic it’s hard to get it wrong.

My BAG today was an all white (chanel inspired) handbag trimmed in chain link.

I never talk much about make-up.  Today I went with a red lip and a smoky eye.  I like it you guys!

Don’t be afraid to step outside the box every now and then.  You just might like it 😉 !

There is BEAUTI  in everything, find it…
