Blogs, , , , , ,

Hello, Happy Sunday!  I hope everyone enjoyed their Valentine Weekend.  I sure did. The husband and I managed to snag a dinner reservation at the last minute. I skipped last weeks Blog Post, the dress I wore was previously blogged back in December of 2016, it still fit! ↓↓

Last October, I walked in a fashion show wearing a local designers African Clothing.  I was able to purchase a few pieces afterwards.  I wore one of the pieces for my birthday photoshoot last month.  This dress is called “Apuk”. ↓↓

Every February our church celebrates Heritage Sunday. It’s such an exciting time.  Today we had African Dancers accompanied by drummers. And a sermon fitting for the occasion. That brings me to today’s outfit. It was originally suppose to be a two piece pant suit.  Unfortunately the pants were too big (I guess I lost a few pounds since I purchased it).  I searched my closet to find something that would work with the jacket. I remembered I had this little green dress from a few years ago that I’d never worn.  I was wowed at how the two went together.  I took the sash from the jacket and used it as a high-waist tie on the dress. Instant gratification!

The accessories had to fit the occasion.  I always try to pull out one color in the fabric to accessorize.  Round disc earrings and my go-to wooden multi-colored beaded necklace paired ever so lovely.  I didn’t have green heels, (which I think would look amazing) I opted for a neutral high heel pump.  I love when the unexpected comes together.

My BAG, an Ark shaped bamboo handbag finished the look.

Sunday Look: Navy & Pink

Blogs, , , ,

Hello and Happy Sunday…. It has been a while. So much has happened over the last few weeks. The saddest being our little feisty dog “Winston”, passed away, he was with us for almost 15 years. Talk about hard, it was such a traumatic experience that we have decided to NOT get another pet. We miss him so much and think about him everyday. 🙁

WINSTON

On to happier times…. Spring is in full bloom and while I haven’t worn a lot of Spring fashions I’m ready. I’m so behind on my manicure and pedicure. Speaking of manicures, I’ve really started to embrace the Spring like colors. I’ve always adored colorful nails on everyone else and wondered if I would ever go down that road. I did and I love it! Stay tuned for my next color choice. Today’s outfit was part of a theme. It was “Women’s Day” at church, the colors were navy and pink.

I wasn’t about to go out and purchase an outfit just for today. I knew I had to have something in my closet that fit the theme. I decided on a navy pant suit with a pink top. I have a funny story about this pant suit. I purchased it twice, yep I did. Luckily I was able to return it when I realized the duplicate. I’ve never done that before. I must really like it I guess. 😉

The matching suit features a slim leg pant with pockets and a tie belt. The jacket is a tuxedo style jacket with not buttons. It has three-quarter length sleeves that are gathered in the back. It’s very light weight and perfect for Springtime. This suit is very professional, fitting for the office or boardroom. I incorporated pink with a sleeveless top with attached tie for knotting or bow. I just tied a bow.

Accessorizing was simple. Pink ball earrings with a touch of bling was all I needed. The tie served as a necklace. I wore a very textured high heel pump that incorporated a variety of colors including pink. All I had left to do was pick a handbag. I went for a colorful little bag that went well with the entire outfit. Simple styling is the best. 🙂 🙂

Style Tip: If you are short in stature like me, you will find that most slacks are too long. These were, I didn’t like the gathering at the ankle. I simply turned the hem up one time. Perfect length !
