Happy Sunday guys! It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. I didn’t get a chance to do a blog post last week. For those that missed my Facebook or Instagram post  here is what I wore:

I want to share with you what I’ve been up for a little over a month now.  I’ve been on this journey of cutting extra sugar from my diet.  As of July 5,  I stopped all sodas, sweet tea, ice cream, candy, cookies, etc.  It was very hard in the beginning, I think I had withdrawals the first week 🙁 .  I’m good now and don’t miss it one bit.  During the process I’ve dropped a few pounds.  Now I need to work on toning my body.  Needless to say, today was a struggle finding something to wear.  I’m sure we all go through ups and downs especially for those of us in our mid fifties to sixties.  The struggle is real 😉  .

Today’s outfit is a sweet little dress that I’ve had for a few years.  I’ve never worn it until today. Love the multi-directional gold pinstripes with a slight shimmer and box pleats, so girly.  The fabric is very lightweight and perfect for summer. This dress would work well into the Fall too.  Add a cardigan or blazer. 🙂  .

I knew instantly how I would accessorize.  I went with a chunky necklace full of large connecting  rings.  A statement necklace for sure!

I chose earrings with the same color highlights of the necklace.  Instead of nude shoes which would have been the first choice, I opted for gold shoes to pick up the pinstripes in the dress.

My BAG today was an Ark shaped Bamboo bag.  It’s such a fun bag to carry.  I get questions as to how I keep things from falling out.  They really don’t, the bamboo sticks are spaced so that it doesn’t.  If you don’t want things moving around you can always use a zipper insert which is what I used today.

Enjoy your week, be blessed. xo

There is BEAUTI  in everything, find it…
