Sunday Look: BOHO Maxi in Plum

Happy Sunday…. Time is really flying by, before you know it will be December (I don’t want to think about that).  All of a sudden seems like Fall is in full bloom.  Everywhere I look I see something or someone dressed for the season.  Last week I talked about the “Jewel Tones” being the perfect Fall season color. It continues…
Today’s outfit is a BOHO maxi dress in a rich plum floral print adorned with bell sleeves, surplice neckline and sash.  It also has a surprising (church appropriate) split.  I don’t wear a lot of maxi dresses but this one will be getting a lot of wear this Fall.  This particular maxi can be dressed down as well.

There are several ways to accessorize a BOHO maxi.  I made a statement.  By statement I mean the “necklace”.  I wanted it to pop.   Instead of doing that with color, I did it with BLING.  Just like last week, my necklace has matching earrings, which I wore.  I always like to pull out a couple of colors from the color pallet.  I wore a shoe mimicking the lightest color found in the dress. Pointy toe and skinny heel of course 😉 .

 

STYLE TIP: As we get deeper into Fall I can see this maxi dress being worn with long dangling earrings, floppy hat (or not) and a pair of suede booties, so chic!  Hopefully that’s a moment I will capture and share.
My BAG today is one of my favorites, I have this particular bag in four different colors, yep, one for each season! This one picks up on one of the other colors in the dress as well.  This purse has a long chain and it’s actually a shoulder bag.  I have a little trick that I do with my shoulder strap bags. I tie the chain (or strap) inside making it into the perfect handbag.

Sunday Look: Fall Jewel Tones

Happy Sunday! Welcome to FALL, finally!  I couldn’t be more excited!  Now that FALL is here, it’s a good time to bring out the jewel tones.  That’s exactly what I did today!   FALL JEWEL TONES ⇓

Today marks the the first full day of the FALL…. I certainly wanted in on the season wardrobe change.   As I was going through my closet like I do every Sunday, I ran across this dress.  The jewel tones are perfect for Fall.  This dress is a high-low style, 3/4 length split sleeves, relaxed fit “shift dress” with a scoop neckline.  The fabric is very light weight, making it appropriate for those non-cold Fall days.

I wanted my accessories to be rich in jewel tones as well.  I chose a rich blue beaded necklace that fell precisely where I wanted within the neckline.  The necklace is part of a set, I wore the earrings to match and added two colorful glass bangles.  I had a few shoe choices.  I decided on the pointy patent leather blue/black ombre high heel.

My BAG today, a faux suede & vegan leather shoulder bag with patchwork detail and a gold chain shoulder strap.
