Sunday Look: Holiday Beginnings in Red

Blogs, , , ,

Happy Sunday and Hello December!  Can you believe the holiday’s are really officially here?  It seems like people get into the holiday spirit earlier and earlier every year.  I always have this idea in my head about what my holiday wardrobe will be (or what I would like for it to be).  In all actuality, it never happens the way I envision.  That’s OK though, somehow I always manage to pull something together.   Most of you know that RED is my favorite color, and I always try to fit it into my holiday wardrobe.
Trending fabrics this season are plaid Image result for christmas plaid fabric and sequin Image result for sequin fabric .  I love (red) plaid for the holidays and I can’t express myself enough regarding sequin.  I’m all about the · bling · 😉 .
Today I wore red, (duh!)…  The two-piece sleeveless midi dress and matching long cardigan can be worn any season.  This morning was a little bit cool and the cardigan was a perfect accompaniment.

I accessorized with a matching two-toned clutch and shoes.   I don’t normally match those two, but today I decided to twin 😉 .  I added a statement necklace in red and thick gold hoop earrings.  Nothing more.

I’m so excited for the holidays. I’m trying to get my house decorated.  Take  a peek.

Sunday Look: Choker Neckline Dress & Sheer Cardigan

Blogs, , , , , , , ,

Happy Sunday!  I’m going to start out by saying I’ve had the “COOLEST” weekend 🙂 .  Yep I enjoyed our cooler temperatures this weekend.  I spent a great deal of time outside this weekend.  It was so nice to put on boots and a turtleneck.  It’s the little things!  LOL.   I know it was short lived but I enjoyed it none the less.  This morning started out pleasant (at least it wasn’t hot) 🙂 .  Which prompted me to today’s outfit.
I chose a short shift dress in a large peony floral print, with a choker neckline and cutout front.   I wore a long sheer cardigan over the dress since it was sleeveless.  Doing so made it a little more dressy and seasonal.  If you haven’t noticed “sheer” dresses, tops and cardigans are trending BIG TIME right now.  This particular cardigan can be worn with jeans, slacks, maxi dress or a jumpsuit.  The possibilities are endless.

Accessorizing was so easy.  The choker neckline meant I didn’t need a necklace.  All I had to do was put on a pair of earrings.  I chose a single cream and black bangle just for kicks.  Black patent leather platform pumps added the finishing touch.

My bag today was a black rippled patent leather tote with a black and gold chain strap.  I’ve said this before, you just know when the bag is right for the outfit.

I’m so happy the season is changing so we can change up our wardrobe. I’m looking forward to wearing my boots (again) and dabbing into the velvet trend.  Stay tuned!

Sunday Look: Relaxed Neutral Territory

Blogs, , , , , ,

Happy Sunday everyone!  Another beautiful winter day in Texas.

Today’s look is a little more relaxed than normal.  I love the neutral look especially “winter white”.  It’s such a crisp relaxed look and one that can be worn in all seasons.  I chose simple straight leg slacks and a sleeveless top with a turtle neck.  The look really pops when you add a second color to the mix.  I did that by adding a long cardigan with two neutral colors.  It doesn’t hurt when those two colors make animal print 🙂  I also love to pair gold and pearls with winter white.

I accessorized with a matching two-toned trio “necklace, bracelet and earrings”.  I opted for open toe boots in the same neutral color pallet.

My BAG: today I went BIG…  This relaxed looked called for a much bigger bag.
