I’m off to the office in my Electric Blue dress. It’s always fun to shop my own closet. This outfit was very easy to put together. The show stopper for me is the SCARF and it was only $1.00 (I’m not embarrassed to tell you where I got it either, it looks just as good as a $10.00 scarf) 🙂  that’s right another one of my dollar store finds and I LOVE the boldness of all the colors. It went very well with this dress. I added a colorful belt and shoes, POOF an outfit was born and on a budget, even better.
Unstoppable in my ELECTRIC Blue Dress. What bold colors have you been wearing this summer?

Oh What at Sunday… Today was a good day. The Sunday sermon at Church was awesome and uplifting.  Afterwards we had a delicious brunch at Freda’s in Austin, TX (where photos were taken).
Today’s outfit Knockout PINK… This maxi dress was hanging inside the dressing room, the color caught my eye immediately, I had to try it on…  I’m so in love with these summer colors, they just speak SUMMER to me. This particular dress is actually what Gianni Bini is calling “Fan Favs”. Don’t be afraid to wear colors like pink, yellow and even orange.  There are no rules, if you like it, wear it.
I have to talk about the shoes.  You may be surprised to read this but I only have two pairs of white shoes.   I seem to struggle in finding a pair that I really like.  I had second thoughts about this pair but I went with my first mind.  Glad I did, I love em…
Remember, there is BEAUTI in everything, find it….

Todays outfit was easy.  The one piece palazzo pants.  I used the cover up for church and removed it later for lunch.  This one piece is from H&M and the cover up came from Belk, I picked it up while I was in Florida last year.  I had no idea what to do with it until today.  I can’t forget the necklace, it was a gift from my daughter.  Its’ quite the conversation piece and one of my favorite necklaces.

Today was my granddaughters birthday and we celebrated with lunch at Maggiano’s Little Italy in the Domain.

Fringe Everywhere

Fringe seems to be everywhere! It’s a huge trend right now. You can find it on everything. Years ago when I saw fringe it was mostly on vests and boots that related to western wear. NOT anymore. You now see classy stylish items with fringe on shoes, clothes, jewelry and purses.  I’m fascinated with them all.

I fell in LOVE with this shoe when I first laid eyes on them at Zara.  I didn’t purchase them.  I went back a week later and my size was gone 🙁  I inquired if I could order online, surprisingly they said NO.  I wanted this shoe, I went online anyway to zara.com and what did I see “YES” there they were…  By now you have guessed from the photo I got them.  Sadly I haven’t worn them yet, still trying to figure out what outfit to pair them with… can’t wait to wear them.  aren’t they beautiful.
Shoe: Zara
The bags are by Steve Madden.   I couldn’t decide which on to get so I got them both, why not…  Stylish bags no matter the color.
Bags: Dillard’s
The Necklace is from Charlotte Russe a Mall find for a very little price.  Love how it hangs around the neck and falls in all the right places.

Squiggle Tie Dye:  I’m not use to wearing any kind of tie dye this is different for sure. This I.N.C dress is from Macys.   The top half of the dress gives off that wrap dress feel, I like the look of a flattering fit.  I doubt you can get this same dress but you can shop similar looks here.

The cat eye sun glasses are from Forever 21.  Shoes are Gianni Bini purchased from Dillard’s, notice the flower detail 🙂   I’m pleased with my Sunday look.  When was the last time you rocked TIE DYE?

It’s been a week since my last Blog Post. SO much has been happening. Now about this no effort outfit or my maxi dress I should say. For starters it doesn’t drag the ground, I think that’s what I like the most and you can dress it up or down.  This dress was very inexpensive so inexpensive I’m almost too embarrassed to say so I won’t.  (You can purchase maxi dresses just about anywhere.)  My shoes are Vince Camuto, you already know they were on sale.  I felt they paired well with the medallion in the center of the dress.  My bag was another bargain, I have it in two different colors.  I think this whole outfit came together nicely and for not very much money.  Happy Sunday xo……

Sunday Social: Lime Green Wrap Dress

Processed with Moldiv

Another great Sunday…  I usually plan what I’m going to wear on Sunday mornings to church the night before.  I didn’t get a chance to do that this week, I just pulled something out of my closet and it worked.  I wore this lime green wrap dress that I purchased many years ago and it’s still in style. I can’t remember where I purchased it from but you can purchase similar wrap dresses here. My Jessica Simpson shoes are a NEW purchase I picked up at Dillard’s on an additional 30% off sale.  My Giannini safari print bag was given to me by a friend. Happy Sunday 🙂

Summer, summer, summertime.  This look has been one of my favorite summer looks for a few years now.  This cotton knit dress with drawstrings allows this dress to go from maxi to min with ruching in all the right places.  This dress is from New York & Company purchased years ago.  You can shop similar styles here and here.

The shoes adds a pop of color to the entire outfit.  Oh and don’t forget to rock your White Bag…    Shop similar White Bags here and here…  NO RULES…

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July celebration. I survived. Today’s outfit is another favorite of mine. I haven’t worn it for a couple of years now. After seeing it on I wonder why I waited so long to wear it again. This orange Baby Doll dress is by Cremieux, my favorite brand for dresses. The shoes are Dolce Vita from Nordstrom. Lastly, my favorite sunglasses by Marc Jacobs. This Post has quite a few favorites. It’s all about the BEAUTI … make it fun.

The Romper… Another great find. Today I thought I would rock the Romper, I haven’t worn one in years.  If I can wear one… so can you.  I purchased this Romper from Old Navy a while back for just $12.99; it was hiding on the clearance rack.  I love putting black, white and red together. Romp the BEAUTI yall…
