Sunday Look: The Christopher John Rogers Dress

 

Hello guys,  I’m still here in spite of being off a while.  Soooo much has happened since the last time we talked.  The one thing I’m mostly excited about is that I have a new great-grandson.  He arrived April 7, 2021.  This is the first (grand) boy for our family and we couldn’t be more excited.  This little boy has stolen all of our hearts.

What else has been happening you ask?  My granddaughter graduated High School in May.  I was so proud to see her walk across that stage and accept her diploma.  She is on her way to Alabama A&M to further her educational studies.  She will be playing division one Soccer for the University as a goal keeper.  We have partied and celebrated all the occasions!

Let’s talk about the Christopher John Rogers collection that Target showcased.  If you were lucky enough to snag a few pieces, I’m jealous.  I was only able to snag this one dress in my size. Unfortunately, I didn’t shop online when the collection went live.  I received a tip today that another Target may have some of his collection on sale.  I will be running over there as soon as I’m finished blogging.  His entire collection was so COLORFUL and I loved all the puffed sleeves.

This particular dress the Floral Puff Sleeve High Low Dress is so colorful.  One added touch I liked is the self-tie belt to help shape the fullness of the dress. And it has pockets!  This dress screams “Twirl

For accessories, I already had the black earrings with colorful threads that matched every color in the dress.  I added a black necklace for contrast and colorful beaded bracelets.  Open toed sling-backs completed the look.

Church will be starting back full time July 11.  I hope to share my Sunday looks with you more frequently.  Things seem to be getting back to some sort of normalcy.  It has been a rough year and a half for all of us.  I’m looking forward to better days.

Sunday Look: Perfect Little Summer Dress

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 😉 .
