Hello guys! Happy Sunday. Let me start out by saying, what a great Christmas production we witnessed this morning by the youth of the church. They really told the true meaning of Christmas.

As the big day (Christmas) approaches, I have to ask, how is your holiday going? So many people fall into a deep depression for many reasons during the holiday season. It’s very important that we check on our friends and family. Just because we are happy, doesn’t mean others around us are happy. Be cognizant of that fact.

Somehow I’ve managed to keep with my yearly holiday tradition of RED. Today’s dress is a wide-cut in airy, crêped chiffon. Ruffled collar and V-neck with drawstring at top. Wide, raglan balloon sleeves, and skirt in gathered tiers with flounce at hem.  This dress makes me want to twirl! If you feel the dress is too short, legging would be appropriate. I’m pretty short, the length is perfect for me.

Again, minimal accessories were needed. The drawstring V-neck eliminated the need for a necklace. Of course you could wear one if you wanted to. I hear a lot of people say “I could never put that together” Dresses like this, make it easy! I’m never without some sort of accessory. Glittery earrings keep with the holiday vibe. Instead if a pump, I opted for ankle boots. The black satin fabric with flower decal finished the look. I LOVE how they look with this dress.

Style Tip: Most tiered dresses look fabulous with angle boots!

Sunday Look: Gingham and Boots

Happy Sunday!  Rain, rain and more rain is how our Sunday started.  I’m very particular about what I wear when it’s raining.  I tend to dress a little more casual and carefully choose a shoe that doesn’t get ruined by the rain.
That’s today’s outfit, a casual gingham dress in black and white .  It disguises itself to look like a skirt with the side tie.    By the way gingham is trending.

I really wanted this look to pop and come off as being edgy.  I think I accomplished that by leaving the top three buttons open and adding a chunky necklace in the space.  I turned the cuffs up to revile the striped lining for a contrasting look. The icing on the cake, white ankle boots.  Not only are they stylish but they were the perfect footwear for a rainy day like today.  I’m loving how my legs look in these boots, this calls for a 😉  😉  LOL!    Had I not left the buttons open and kept the sleeves un-cuffed, it would have resulted in a very different look.   Don’t let these white boots scare you either.  They were trending BIG TIME this past winter.  Not many would dare to wear white boots in the dead of winter season.  BUT, Fashion is passion and I’m passionate about my FASHION…  anyway, a boot like this is ok to wear during the Spring and Summer months, it’s all up to you.  “If you like it, wear it”  that’s my  motto.  And I like it!

My BAG today was a white tote with ring handles and studs.  It sealed that edgy look I was going for 🙂  .

Sunday Look: Head To Toe Chic “In My Mother’s Dress”

Blogs, , , , , ,
Happy Sunday.  You know you live in Texas when you experience two seasons in two days, LOL!  I could have sworn it was summer on Saturday and today, well… I will leave it to your imagination.
When my mother passed away we didn’t keep a lot of her clothing.  We gave them away to a family friend.  We kept a few pieces, which I have in my possession.
Today’s outfit includes two of her things.   My dress and purse.  My mother has been gone for over a decade and this black sheath dress has never gone out of style.  I wear it once or twice a year.  No matter my size it always fits.  Today I added a belt to take it in a bit (it was a little big).  I also added a long mesh kimono for a more chic look.

Another Style Option: For a more tailored look, I could have added a blazer.
In addition to the belt, I wore a red and black scarf tied into a headband.  It was so windy today, a headband seemed like a good idea.  I kept the red going in two jewelry pieces, my necklace and earrings.  Instead of the usual black or red pump, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to wear these black ankle boots with a RED flower applique, so chic!  The pointy toe gave me life! 😉 .

My BAG as I mentioned was one of my mother’s.  It’s a simple black cloth clutch (very old).  It also has a short gold hand chain attached inside.  I love how old things can become new again with a little ingenuity!
