Happy Sunday! I’m back, if you missed me. It has been a busy last couple of weeks for me and my family. Happy to be back… I just realized this is my first blog post for April. I hope everyone had a great Easter Sunday.
We had a little cold blast that left us all confused and wondering if Spring was really here. Making it a little difficult in the wardrobe department.
This is what I came up with for “Today’s Outfit” a combination of two pieces to make one seamless look. I took a pleated spaghetti strap hi-low dress and combined it with a mesh scalloped crop top. This top is so detailed with a textured loop floral lace trim and raw cut hem. It fit perfectly over the dress. The two pieces paired so well you would think it was one.
The top can stand on its own and I didn’t want to take that away. I wanted to wear a necklace of some sorts. I opted for a beaded necklace with the perfect droop for the neckline. My earrings matched the necklace. I’m never without a bangle or two 😉 . I paired a black pointy toe heel, it made the outfit pop from head to toe!
My bag today was a repeat of an edgy black tote with studs and silver rings as handles.

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! 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.
