Sunday Look: Dot Print Jumpsuit

Blogs, , , , , ,

Hello, Happy Sunday and Happy Father’s Day! I want to get real for a moment. As I get older I see my body changing. Whether it’s a little bulge here or a sag there. I’ve learned to embrace some of my body flaws. Honestly, it wasn’t easy in the beginning. You know what, it is, what it is! After-all this is who I’m meant to be, this is me! Admittedly, some clothing, no matter how much we love an outfit, it may show off a few of those flaws. I may be able to do something about a few of them, others not so much. That’s okay. I’m looking for some kind exercise regimen to tie up loose ends LOL 🙂 🙂

My outfit today falls into that classic black and white category. I love this jumpsuit! I think I was drawn to the graphic white polka dots against the black background more than anything. The self tie belt allows you to tie a knot or do a one loop bow like I did. You can also use the belt as a headband.

The scoop-neck allowed me to accessorize with a long necklace. I chose a beaded pearl tear drop necklace. I kept the earrings simple in a round pearl ball mimicking the white polka dots. A single white bangle added another layer. Considering how short I am, and how long this jumpsuit is, I had to wear my tallest heels. I wore white platform super high heeled open toe shoes.

My BAG today was a white tote with a round black handle. It was the perfect piece against the graphic background.

Sunday Look: T-Shirt & Gingham Ruffle Skirt

Blogs, , , , , , , ,
Happy Sunday and Memorial Day Weekend!  It’s a hot one I know that… how are we suppose to keep cool?  It’s almost too hot to put on clothes 🙂  🙂
Today’s outfit was an attempt to be as cool as possible.  Nothing cooler than a thin white T-shirt.  I paired that with a fuchsia (its not red) gingham ruffled skirt.  Yes I’m in gingham again!  Didn’t plan it that way 😉 . The skirt pairs very well with the T-shirt and makes for a very casual cool Sunday look.

Something this casual doesn’t need very many accessories.  I added a wide white belt, shades of pink bauble earrings and a trio of necklaces (16″, 18″ & 20″ trending).  Of course I’m never complete without my high heels.  Today I opted for white peep toed platforms.

My BAG today keeping with the casual look, a pink crossbody.  I simply knotted the strap to shorten and carried it at the knot.  Simple!

Enjoy the Memorial Day Holiday and remember their sacrifice.

Sunday Look: Season Transition

Blogs, , , , , , , ,
Happy Sunday!  Saying good-bye to Winter… as the season changes we sometimes get caught between the two.   Today was one of those days, I really didn’t know what to wear.  The struggle is real sometimes 😉 .  One day it’s cool and the next day it feels like Summer.  Even though I love the cooler weather, I’m ready for some bright colors and to be done with this roller coaster weather.  How do you transition to the next season?

Through all the confusion, I decided on a black sheer top with tulip sleeves and an embroidered blue and black ball skirt.  This light weight sheer top was perfect for a warm day like today.  The skirt being a little heavier helped to balance the entire outfit and it’s suitable for the season.  I wore the top untucked and added a skinny belt for dimension.

I kept the accessories pretty light today as well.  Wooden earrings and a knotted bead necklace.   Since everything else was pretty low key, I chose to bling it up with my shoes. The jeweled glitter platforms sparkle with blue and black tones.  The heel backs are jeweled up as well.

 

My BAG was a small blue handbag with gold accents.  Sometime less is more.
