Happy Sunday! Here we are again, blessed with a new month along with new adventures. You know what that means, Mother’s Day is only a week away. I posted my Gift Giving Guide last night. You can find it following this Blog Post or search for Mother’s Day May 13, Gift Guide. Feel free to share!
Mother’s Day Gift Guide
They say “April Showers bring May Flowers”. It’s true just look at my dress. Today’s outfit is a little peach floral swing dress. I’ve always been a fan of the scuba like fabric. The halter neckline makes it the perfect dress for Spring. I feel this particular halter neckline is appropriate for church, the silhouette is not as revealing. You could easily add a Spring cardigan for more coverage.
Accessorizing this dress was a no brainer to say the least. The color definitely called for soft pearl jewelry. A long pearl tassel necklace was the ideal choice for this neckline. I added earrings set with multiple pearl and clear stones and a pearl bracelet. But the showstopper for me, were my champagne colored, block heel sandals embedded with pearls across the toe strap and heel. I purchased these shoes about two or three months ago, they were a great find. I wondered what I would pair them with besides jeans. They served their purpose today by dressing up my little peach dress. I recently shared them on my IG page styleyourbestbeauti follow me for more fashion and fun stuff.
A little dress calls for the perfect handbag right? I chose this peach flap bag with partial gold chain. Yep, I did it again choosing the right handbag for the right outfit 😉 . I love when that happens.
Greetings to another week. For starters, we’ve had a roller-coaster of seasons this past week. Today it was Spring 🙂 . It’s really hard to plan an outfit ahead of time, but I adapt, LOL! Nothing like Texas weather.
Wait a minute… What in the world am I doing in a “bodycon” dress. When I first saw this dress I didn’t realize it was labeled as a “bodycon” . I could not see myself in such a dress, which is probably the mindset of many women. Well… there is a first time for everything. I was all 🙂 smiles 🙂 in the dressing room, it fit, OMG, it fit and looked good on me! This particular dress is a mesh bodycon with a lining. Mesh is turning out to be my best friend. I’m very pleased with the fit and happy that I was able to pull this one off. I had no trouble sitting down either!
The black and floral print surely makes a statement all by itself. I could have opted to go accessory free, but who does that? I could have easily chosen pearls to wear with this print and it would have worked. Instead I chose an earring with colorful stones along with a necklace of like colors.
I must admit, I tried on three different pairs of shoes and could not make a decision. I let my husband choose for me. Sometimes another pair of eyes helps.
My BAG was an easy choice. A suede envelop clutch with triangle patchwork in four different colors. Best feature, the Pompom 🙂 . I have no idea where I purchased this bag from.
Don’t limit your clothing style. Try on that dress, don’t just look at it. You may be surprised!
Happy Sunday! Here we go, its officially HOLIDAY TIME… We have been busy trying to get the inside and outside all decked out for the holidays. The only thing missing is the COOLER weather. How are your decorating plans going?
Last December I opted to wear RED each Sunday to church. I really didn’t make that commitment this year but somehow I started out in red again. Today’s outfit featuring this all over floral maxi with a self-tie halter neck and elastic off-the-shoulder. This elastic is formed so you can wear it two ways. If you prefer to wear it further up-on the shoulders you can (like in the feature photo at top). I truly love the off-the-shoulder look. I’ve said it many times, “a woman’s shoulders is the most beautiful feature on her body”.
When you have a self-tie halter neck there is no need for a necklace. This girl is never without her earrings. I wore a pair with a sequence look detail. You know me, I must always have a bangle or three LOL 😉 . Today I had six! Since I’m not very tall, every MAXI is way too long. I always have to wear really high heel shoes so it doesn’t drag the ground. Today I wore a black patent leather platform sling back with a 5 inch heel. I bet you’re saying, “5 inches”. Here’s a little secret, platforms can reduce the heel height by 2 inches sometimes. So it feels like I was really wearing 3 inch heels 😉 .
What’s the perfect bag to carry when wearing a MAXI of this type? A magazine clutch is what, nothing went better! It’s very unexpected wouldn’t you say?
Happy Sunday! What a difference it makes when you can get a full day of rest. Yesterday I did absolutely nothing (except decorate my dining room table for Thanksgiving). Other than that we had a free weekend, the grand girls were sports free. I should be well rested. Late last night I decided to try on outfits for today. Well, this morning I changed my mind 🙂 . Luckily for me all I did was grab and go! Which leads me to today’s outfit.
Roses are Blue is what I’m calling this dress. I have to admit I fell in Love with this dress right away. Wait until you see where I purchased it from down below. All I have to say is “you make the clothes, the clothes don’t make you”.
The look of vintage in the mesh (I told you its trending). This mesh dress makes for a sultry look, while the embroidered flowers add sweet, feminine detail. The thin, mesh material and delicate flowers come together for a one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted look. This dress turned heads LOL… It would be perfect for your next dinner party or night out.
I kept the accessories really simple. Notice, no necklace, really didn’t need one at all. Just the right amount of skin peeks through the mesh. Black earrings, sparkly bracelet and ring did the rest. The dress can easily stand for itself. I chose an ombre patent leather shoe in blue and black. I heard someone say the other day that ombre is out ( I think they were talking about hair though). Anyway, I beg to differ. I like it and I wore it 😉 .
My BAG today was fairly simple. I chose a long blue clutch that felt so right for this outfit. I did try three others but this one was perfect.
Like I said before, you make the clothes the clothes don’t make you! I wear what I like and you should too! Don’t get me wrong, I love a designer piece. But everything doesn’t have to be $$$ for you to look good or feel good.
