Happy Sunday! It’s another HOT one today. Today’s outfit, this sweet lace skater dress. It’s so girly, makes you feel like twirling LOL! Lace is one of those summer fabrics that can be worn in a variety of ways. This particular dress would be perfect for attending a wedding, bridal shower or just a girls night out. The possibilities are endless.
In keeping with the girly theme I thought I would be sweeter by adding pearl accessories. After all pearls are always appropriate. I kept the shoe nude, but it had to be a pointy toe 😉 . A strappy sandal would have worked as well.
Did you think you would see this bag again so soon? Like I said, I’m obsessed with this Ark Bamboo handbag. Its the perfect summer bag. I could carry it all summer long.
Happy Sunday! Well, the July 4th holiday is upon us. No better time to wear a little bit of RED, WHITE & BLUE… to celebrate the holiday. Last week I mentioned that would be mixing old and new pieces together for the summer. These (old) white slacks scream summer. To complete the look add a little red and blue to the mix. A blue peplum halter top suited the straight legged white slacks perfectly. Every woman should own at least one Halter Top, it exposes the sexiest part of a woman’s body ” her shoulders”. No matter a woman’s size her shoulders are very sexy!
Now that you have the White and Blue all you need is RED. Red shoes complete the look. Today I opted for a softer round toe platform heel verses my all time favorite pointy toe heel. Change is good, in this case either one would work. No wrong choices here.
The peplum top is very detailed around the neck, NO necklace required. All I had to do was add my usual pieces, earrings and my go to bangles. Today I rocked three glass bangles in the RED, WHITE & BLUE (clink, clink)!
Let’s talk about my BAG; I spotted this (showstopper) RED tote bag on a mannequin. I immediately hightailed it over to the purse section. I couldn’t find it anywhere 🙁 so I did the next best thing, took it off the mannequin! What else was I to do? I wanted this bag. Today was my first time carrying it. It’s HUGE and I love it! This bag is going to be great for traveling I can already tell. It will hold all my essentials… and more. My daughter has already put claims on it LOL 🙂 . It’s still available online by the way.
Enjoy the July 4th holiday and all the festivities. Be safe and… How are you rocking your RED, WHITE & BLUE?
Happy Sunday everyone! Summer has arrived and I’m feeling the heat. My summer wardrobe will be renewed styling. How? I will mix and match some of my older summer wear with any new pieces I happen to pick up this season. The goal is to not break the bank, stay stylish and cool! no pun intended. 🙂
Today’s outfit is a combination of old and new. This one piece spaghetti jumpsuit deserves a second or even third wear. When old meets new it all becomes new again. The new is this colorful kimono. When I first saw it I knew how I would style it. It’s giving me a Japanese inspired look. This kimono can easily be paired with a skinny jean or shorts & tank, sundress, leggings and used as a swimsuit cover-up. The styling possibilities are endless.
My accessories consisted of my usual, earrings, necklace and bracelet. I chose open toe cork heels to not compete with the kimono. The kimono is so colorful it doesn’t need any help. BUT….
My BAG, OMG I am so obsessed with the Gaia’s Ark bamboo handbag. I didn’t hesitate to pair it with my kimono for a Japanese inspired look. Styling success! I’m so obsessed, don’t be surprised it you see it again and again…
Don’t hesitate to bring out the old and mix with something new!
Happy Sunday everyone, I’m back. I missed last week due to being so exhausted. Our oldest grand daughter graduated from High School and we threw her a graduation party that left me with all kinds of aches and pains 🙂 . Thankfully I’ve recovered.
Today was a casual Sunday. Casual meets comfort in these mid-rise, bootcut jeans with slits at the bottom and the best part “frayed hems“. They are so chic! I could have paired my jeans with just about any top. But, there is noting like a crisp white blouse.
When it came to accessories I kept it simple. A long beaded bling necklace and long beaded earrings. You all know I’m never without a bangle or two. I thought I would step up my game in a pair of comfortable open toed platform heels. They are comfortable because they are old and broken-in LOL!
My BAG today was this large denim tote. Sometimes a big bag is just better! It was a perfect choice for todays outfit!
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Today I paused for all of our fallen men and women that allow us to be FREE! Today in honor of Memorial Day, I wore our country’s colors Red, White and Blue.
This lightweight sapphire lace mesh sheath dress was perfect homage to Memorial Day. A lot of ladies think they cannot pull of a straight silhouette dress. But I’m here to tell you that you can. You all know I’m no size 2. This silhouette can be very flattering especially when it’s cinched at the waist. The waistband is built-in on this dress, that eliminated the need for a belt. Love how the lace is see-through at the bottom, shoulders and back. The diamond mesh overlay provides tons of venting for a hot day like today too! I feel really good in this dress.
Blue earrings served as my main accessory. I didn’t need a necklace, the scalloped neck with the same diamond mesh detail was enough. And I’m never without a bracelet or two 😉 . Of course I had to wear RED shoes! This patent leather shoe has a bit of a platform and pointy toe was the only choice.
My BAG, a flap clutch had all the red, white and blue I needed to round out this color scheme.
There is BEAUTI in everything, find it…
Remember our fallen men and women as you celebrate Memorial Day!
Happy Sunday! No matter how much you try to plan your outfits something always happens to nick that idea. Lucky for me I have a variety in my closet, sometimes I just have to pick something last minute and hope it works. Actually, I think its easier because I don’t have to put a lot of time and thought into it. That’s exactly what happened today!
This floral top has been speaking to me Sunday after Sunday. I always pass it up. (Why do we save certain things for later?) It turned out to be a great last minute choice. I decided to wear a long black pencil skirt with the top. I could have easily paired it with skinny leg slacks, wide leg pants or culottes. Next time.
When wearing a colorful top as this, your accessories can be kept to a minimum. Every girl loves earrings and should never go without. I could have stopped there. But I decided to add a multi-stand necklace in gold, silver and black. If you are the type that hardly ever wears a watch, opt for identical bracelets one on each wrist. Honestly, I don’t practice my own advice, but today I did. I actually like the identical bracelet idea. I was like hmmm! why didn’t I do this sooner?
When the time came to choose shoes my first thought was black, boring. I went BOLD as you can see. Perfect choice right?
My BAG choice today was my “BUG BAG” whatever works!
Happy Mother’s Day! My children are the greatest gift God could have given me. How lucky am I to be their MOTHER. The only sad thing about today, my mother is gone but her presence lives on in my ♥ …
Today’s outfit was something I saved just for today. When I first saw it I thought, this is different. This unique white sheath dress with attached floral, split maxi wrap left me feeling very girly! I love how it blows in the wind.
I wanted to bring out the pink accents in the wrap. I did that by simply adding pink earrings, necklace and peep toe shoes with pink highlights.
My BAG today was unique as well. A box purse mimicking a perfume bottle added the final touch.
Greeting on this beautiful Sunday. We’ve had an action packed weekend.
I thought I would brighten up my Sunday in this blue soft chiffon sleeveless cowl neck shift dress. Shift dresses are always fun because they flow, especially on a breezy day (like today).
I try to find clothes that keep me cool especially in the warmer months. I’ve become a fan of sleeveless clothing over the past couple of years. Noticeably, my arms, sometimes look like I pump iron on a daily basis (I don’t) they are very defined. You know what? I had to accept my arms and now I embrace them.
When wearing a dress with a cowl neck you really could go without a necklace. If you do, choose one that’s long. Otherwise all you need are the basics. When it comes to the shoes I want them to stand out! I love how these multi-colored pointy toe pumps give off that Spring vibe.
Of course I had to choose a BAG that popped. Why not go yellow? My bag also highlighted the yellow in the my shoes.
Happy Sunday. We are having a beautiful Spring day! The temperature is perfect. Today’s outfit “Spring Wings” comes from this dress I’ve had in my closet for three seasons now. I actually thought I would never wear it. Today I saw it in a different light, LOL.
The cape sleeve has been trending, this dress even though it was purchased three seasons ago is still with the trend. The fabric is very light weight and perfect for Spring. We all know black and white to be classic no matter the season.
I accessorized with a rose cut detail necklace that falls right above the neckline. My earrings happen to be clip-on (boy do they hurt!) but I thought they went well with the entire look. And pointy toe shoes!
My BAG was a fun touch. This silver hammered box clutch (didn’t hold much) was the perfect (silver) accent piece. I ♥ my BAGS.
Happy Sunday! How many of you think about shopping in the kids department? One day I was browsing the kids department for a birthday gift. Surprisingly I ran across a rack of tulle skirts. You know I could not resist taking a closer look. This brings me to today outfit “tulle skirt”
Yes, that’s right I picked up this cream skirt with gold stars and dots in the kids department of Target! They had other colors as well. I only picked up the cream one. Other colors were black, red and pink. I don’t know why I didn’t get the red and black skirt. Missed opportunity, LOL!
Once I purchased the skirt I had the dilemma of what top to pair with it. Trust me, I tried many and I just wasn’t satisfied. I did find this long sleeve top with gold threading around the neck that I hoped would work. It took me a couple of tries. I decided to knot-it and a pair was born 🙂 . I could have tucked it, but the sheer fabric of the skirt allowed the top to show through and I didn’t want that type of look. Actually, I’m a fan of knotted shirts.
Wearing all cream allows you to glow it up with GOLD accessories. That’s exactly what I did with matching earrings and necklace in gold. I also added a gold and cream bracelet, watch and finished up with cream suede pointy toe shoes!
Guess what? I had the perfect BAG too. It’s very roomy and was the perfect accent to my outfit.
STYLE TIP: This skirt would be perfect for a wedding or bridal shower, you pick!
