Happy Sunday! Just like last week I’m still trying to find outfits that are cool while remaining respectable for Church. I accomplished that with this off- the- shoulder jumpsuit.
This jumpsuit is a linen and cotton blend (gives you less wrinkles than 100% linen). Linen is the perfect summer fabric! I also love how the fabric depicts flowers, bees and plants, so SUMMER right? The puff sleeves has a tie and a flounce. It also has POCKETS! Notice the tapered legs.
I accessorized with a wide textured necklace that has semi clear stones. My earrings mimic the same stones in the necklace. I also added a wide bracelet and two loose bangles. I pulled out the yellow in the jumpsuit by adding a skinny yellow belt to the elastic waist. When wearing linen with tapered legs you have to wear strappy sandals 😉 .
My BAG today was a twist on FUN… a wristlet in the silhouette of a yellow taxi cab. It’s such a fun and unexpected touch. Since linen is a casual fabric I didn’t want my BAG to be too formal.
Style Tip: If you wanted to take this outfit in a different direction, replace the heels with flats, lose the necklace and tie a yellow scarf around your head or neck.
Happy Sunday! What does one wear when it’s so HOT out? I know it’s a struggle to keep cool while trying to be fashionable. The first thing that comes to my mind “sleeveless”.
Today I took the perfect little sleeveless summer dress and paired it with a Kimono. (I wore the same dress in a different pattern a few weeks ago). A Kimono can take a simple dress and turn it into something more stylish. I ♥love♥ how this look turned out.
Accessorizing was so easy too! I picked two colors from the Kimono and used those colors in my accessories. My necklace made a statement. I coordinated earrings and bangles to finish my jewelry look. My shoes had to be platform peep-toe heels for the greatest impact 😉 .
Style Tip: One way to make your necklace a statement piece, combine two for one look. If you really want to make a statement, combine two different colors which is what I did for this look.
My BAG today, an orange handbag with a detailed “X” pattern on the front flap in addition to a decorative gold clasp and chain. Perfect bag for this outfit.
Happy Sunday to all. I hope everyone had a great week. I have an exciting week ahead, we have company coming for a week. I still have so much to do. Stay tuned to my FB and IG stories.
For starters, I tend to be a little color blind. I usually rely on the tag to tell me what color I’m wearing. No such luck today. I’m sticking with neutral.
Today’s outfit is a two-piece eyelet lace flamenco (or high-low). It reminds me of the Chiquita Banana dress! 🙂 . I was so excited when I saw this outfit. Anything that’s suppose to be off the shoulder I’m here for it! (style tip:if you have trouble keeping the top in place try using double sized tape). Secondly, I love the fit of the skirt, it hugged me just right! 😉
I took the opportunity to go big on one of my accessories. I’ve been wanting to wear this necklace for over a year and it never looked good with anything. Not today, it paired perfectly with my off-the-shoulder top. I opted for smaller earrings so they wouldn’t compete with the necklace. Bangles on each arm kept with theme. I chose an open toe sandal with a chunky heel and pearl detail.
My BAG today, I took the opportunity to carry a new handbag. It went well with my neutral outfit, I love the floral detailing which added some additional color. (style tip: smaller handbags are on the rise).
Hello and Happy Sunday! I hope everyone had a fantastic July 4th holiday. As you may have noticed I did not post a blog last week. The main reason, I wore a suit that I had previously blogged two years ago. But! I’m back this week with a new outfit to share.
Some might be saying what are paperbag waist pants? Paperbag waist pants are loose fitting pants that happen to be very comfortable. They have a slightly higher waist and tie at the waist making a ruffle detail. In order to make the waist stand out as intended, you should pair them with a tighter fitting top for a flattering silhouette.
I think I accomplished just that by pairing my paperbag waist pants with a tight fitting floral mesh top. The colors mimics Summer. The shimmer of the pant fabric makes them dressier and perfect for Church. I can also wear these pants to work or a night out on the town.
I accessorized the outfit with tri colored jewelry, it picked up on the colors nicely. I was so inspired by the top, I decided to go with a floral strappy sandal.
My BAG, I was further inspired by the floral top and shoes that I continued with a beautiful floral clutch. The details on the bag are FABULOUS!
I hope you’ve learned a little bit about paperbag waist pants and I certainly hope you try a pair. You won’t be disappointed 😉 .
Happy Sunday and welcome to Summer 🙁 ! As we forge ahead in this Summer heat, I’m doing my best to keep it cool. Today’s outfit does just that…
I purposely picked up a couple of these fit and flare dresses just for Summer. The light weight cotton fabric is a must for a 100° day. Another good thing about this dress, you can dress it up or down. Oh! I almost forgot, it has pockets 🙂 . Today I dressed it up with dramatic accessories. For starters, I chose a multi-strand necklace that fits so nicely in the v-neckline. I added a pair of bauble earrings in a brushed metal color of gold, silver and rose gold. I couldn’t believe how well the metal paired with the dress color. I chose a high heel cork pump that picked up on the colors as well. The off white tip adds that touch dressy.
Now, if I went the casual route, I would omit the necklace and replace the heels with a pair of white or cream colored thong sandals.
My BAG today, keeping with the current straw trend, I chose a small straw clutch with a wrist strap. It went so well with the entire outfit. Love ♥ when that happens.
Searching for ways to stay a little cooler this summer? You should choose light colors and light weight fabrics 😉 .
Happy Sunday and Happy Father’s Day! I’ve seen a lot of posts going around honoring Dads. That makes me so happy to see them being celebrated. We celebrated my husband today as well. My father is no longer with us, I honored him too.
Let’s talk about today’s outfit. I kept it pretty simple again this week. I eyed this colorful jumpsuit a couple of months ago and thought it would be a staple in my wardrobe this Spring and Summer. The wide leg jumpsuit with a floral motif featuring a surplice neckline, spaghetti straps, ruffle trim, a sash and best of all an abstract pattern at the hem. That set the tone for my “neon” accessories.
I accessorized with that same accent color in my earrings and necklace. I added pastel yellow and green bangles as well. My neon pumps evened out everything. That leads me to a Style Tip. Pick out one color in an outfit and play off that color. You will be surprised how well the outfit pops.
My BAG today, a pastel green quilted bag with a fold over flap and gold chain.
Happy Sunday! I seem to be really into gingham 🙂 . I’ve worn it a few times in the past weeks. I’m very casual today, I have a good reason, today was our Church picnic. What does one wear to a church picnic when you’re aiming for casual, comfortable and cool because it’s 100 degrees outside? And be presentable for Church at the same time.
I specifically planned this outfit for today. I thought it was the perfect picnic attire. I chose an orange and white gingham smocked off-the -shoulder top with a long bell sleeve. The back is accented with a bow. I paired it with a khaki ankle pant. Pretty simple yet still cute right? I accessorized with brown wedges and chose to wear wooden jewelry pieces and a wide gold bangle.
My BAG today was a bamboo circle body, beaded shoulder strap with a flat top closure. These bamboo bags are trending big time right now. That brings me to my next bag, Gaia’s Bamboo Big Natural. I’ve wanted this bag for quite sometime now. It’s perfect for a picnic, pool parties or the beach. It’s to die for… 😉 . Best of all it’s collapsible, making storage easy.
Happy Sunday! Rain, rain and more rain is how our Sunday started. I’m very particular about what I wear when it’s raining. I tend to dress a little more casual and carefully choose a shoe that doesn’t get ruined by the rain.
That’s today’s outfit, a casual gingham dress in black and white . It disguises itself to look like a skirt with the side tie. By the way gingham is trending.
I really wanted this look to pop and come off as being edgy. I think I accomplished that by leaving the top three buttons open and adding a chunky necklace in the space. I turned the cuffs up to revile the striped lining for a contrasting look. The icing on the cake, white ankle boots. Not only are they stylish but they were the perfect footwear for a rainy day like today. I’m loving how my legs look in these boots, this calls for a 😉 😉 LOL! Had I not left the buttons open and kept the sleeves un-cuffed, it would have resulted in a very different look. Don’t let these white boots scare you either. They were trending BIG TIME this past winter. Not many would dare to wear white boots in the dead of winter season. BUT, Fashion is passion and I’m passionate about my FASHION… anyway, a boot like this is ok to wear during the Spring and Summer months, it’s all up to you. “If you like it, wear it” that’s my motto. And I like it!
My BAG today was a white tote with ring handles and studs. It sealed that edgy look I was going for 🙂 .
It’s Mother’s Day… Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers and Mother figures, hoping your day has been a blessed one. Mine has been great! So I will keep today’s post short and sweet 😉 .
Every Mother’s Day I have this vision of how I want to look. I think Mother’s Day is extra special. I had my heart set on wearing white. When I was a little girl my mother would always dress me and my sisters in white. We all wore a red carnation to signify our mother was living. She wore a white one . You don’t see that anymore. Oh! the memories 🙂 .
Today’s outfit, a cream colored sheer box pleat dress. It was the perfect Mother’s Day dress. When it came to accessories I chose one of my two favorite necklaces, no other would do. I paired that with long pearl earrings and bracelet. I chose a fabric platform high heel sandal with a sweet little side flower. Everything went together well.
My BAG today a cream colored “doctor bag” with gold trim. It held all the extra necessities.
Happy Sunday! Here we are again, blessed with a new month along with new adventures. You know what that means, Mother’s Day is only a week away. I posted my Gift Giving Guide last night. You can find it following this Blog Post or search for Mother’s Day May 13, Gift Guide. Feel free to share!

They say “April Showers bring May Flowers”. It’s true just look at my dress. Today’s outfit is a little peach floral swing dress. I’ve always been a fan of the scuba like fabric. The halter neckline makes it the perfect dress for Spring. I feel this particular halter neckline is appropriate for church, the silhouette is not as revealing. You could easily add a Spring cardigan for more coverage.
Accessorizing this dress was a no brainer to say the least. The color definitely called for soft pearl jewelry. A long pearl tassel necklace was the ideal choice for this neckline. I added earrings set with multiple pearl and clear stones and a pearl bracelet. But the showstopper for me, were my champagne colored, block heel sandals embedded with pearls across the toe strap and heel. I purchased these shoes about two or three months ago, they were a great find. I wondered what I would pair them with besides jeans. They served their purpose today by dressing up my little peach dress. I recently shared them on my IG page styleyourbestbeauti follow me for more fashion and fun stuff.
A little dress calls for the perfect handbag right? I chose this peach flap bag with partial gold chain. Yep, I did it again choosing the right handbag for the right outfit 😉 . I love when that happens.
I accessorized with a wide textured necklace that has semi clear stones. My earrings mimic the same stones in the necklace. I also added a wide bracelet and two loose bangles. I pulled out the yellow in the jumpsuit by adding a skinny yellow belt to the elastic waist. When wearing linen with tapered legs you have to wear strappy sandals 😉 .
