Sunday Look: Stripe Tent Dress

Blogs, , , , ,

Hello guys! Happy Sunday…. It’s been a while since I’ve shared.  I was down for a while with bronchitis and asthma. I didn’t bounce back quickly. I’m so happy all of that is over, thank God.

Last night I picked out a few things to wear today. You never know what the weather is going to do around here 🙂 . I wasn’t sure what I was going to wear until this morning. I picked this long sleeve plum and grey stripe tent dress that I’ve had for a couple of years. Actually, everything I’m wearing today is at least a couple of years old.

The dress hits right above the knee. I had always planned on wearing knee high boots with this dress.  This style dress is perfect for a knee high boot.  For a finished look I opted to wear plum/purple tights. I chose a long grey necklace, beaded earrings and bracelet for my jewelry pieces.

My BAG today was a small beaded bag with a long linked chain. It was the perfect little understated shoulder bag for this outfit. This bag is very old, about ten years or so.

I’ve been trying to think of a ways to get the most out of my wardrobe.  I’m thinking about doing a series of Blogs where I will be wearing an outfit for a second time. I will change it up with accessories. In addition to extending my wardrobe it will save money too 😉  .  I’m up for the challenge, should be FUN.

There is BEAUTI in everything, find it…

Sunday Look: Casual Cold-Shoulder

Blogs, , , , , ,
Hello!  You ever wake up and say to yourself, I really don’t feel like dressing up today?  Well today was one of those days.  As I was looking for something to wear this morning, I passed on anything form fitting, long sleeves and slacks, even though I tried all of them on 😉 .
So happy I ran into this little playful cold-shoulder grey and white stripe dress.  It met all my needs.  There are so many myths about wearing stripes, especially horizontal stripes.  Let me debunk your worries.  They say stripes make you look fat, they draw attention to certain areas of your body, blah, blah, blah …  IF YOU LIKE IT, WEAR IT!  “They” can’t tell you what to wear or how!  That’s one of the reasons I started my BLOG.  I wanted to inspire the everyday women and let them know they can be who they are when it comes to fashion.

Enough of that, LOL… a dress like this is so easy to accessorize.  Let’s just say I added a little bling, bling with a large rhinestone necklace and long drop earrings.  As for my love of bangles, I piled them on today.  Lastly, a strappy sandal anchored it all together.  I had to show off my fresh pedicure 😉 .  NOW! since this dress is so casual and had I not been wearing it to church, I would have styled it differently.  I would have worn a simple hoop earring, watch or charm bracelet, no necklace and flat blingy sandals.  Pretty sure I will repeat this dress this summer styled as such!  Stay tuned.

Let’s talk about my BAG… First things first,  I watched this bag like a hawk until it was marked down.  I got very lucky and got it for the low, low price of 6.99 from $49.99.  I don’t usually talk prices, but this was a STEAL of a DEAL.  I love how large it is and it’s a conversation piece for sure.  You can also fold it over to make a clutch.  It’s a faux reptile print, side zipper and functional lock with key.  Fun, fun, fun…
