Sunday Look: Tassel Dress

Blogs, , , , , ,

Hello and Happy Sunday! I know, I know its been a while. I haven’t done a blog post since early July. So much has been happening in my life, I couldn’t find the time to just sit. I won’t bore you with all the details. Let me just say, God is Good.

The other day I thought I broke my toe. I hit the leg of a chair. I’ve walked by that chair a million times and we finally met one another . All I could think about was how am I going to wear heels on Sunday. I iced like there was no tomorrow. It worked ( or it’s not really broken) because it feels so much better with very little swelling remaining. I’m so thankful it wasn’t worse. And yes, I did wear my heels today!

This Texas Summer heat we are experiencing is no joke. We have been as high as 105 degrees with a heat index of 110 degrees plus. I swear, it’s a struggle walking from the car into the building sometimes. I’ve lived in Texas all my life and I can never get acclimated to this heat.

Speaking of heat, my wardrobe has been about keeping as cool as possible. I will share my cool past Sunday looks at the end.

Today’s look was rather simple in a basic black tunic dress with a round neck, a ton of tassels around the sleeves and hem. The fabric is very lightweight and can take me straight into the Fall.

I accessorized with black earrings and a Lucite block necklace. Let’s talk about this necklace. When I first saw it at White House Black Market I had to have it. The price was a little bit more than what I would normally pay being that I am a bargain shopper and all. But, I treated myself nonetheless.  Strappy, block high heel sandals finished the look. You already know, bangles had to make an appearance. Paired the outfit with a black croc bag.

Sunday Look: A Softer Side

Blogs, , , , ,

Happy Sunday! I know, I know its been a few weeks since I’ve been in front of the computer screen. Happy to share with you again. Sunday is my favorite day of the week to dress-up as you can see 😉 . Even though I dress-up during the week, it’s nothing like Sunday dressing. The dressing-up on Sunday thing started when I was a little girl. My mother always dressed-up my sisters and I on Sundays. Oh! how I remember the plaid dresses and long socks with our patent leather shoes. Ribbons, upon ribbons in our hair. This tradition goes back many years. I can remember my mother wearing those pointy toe kitten heels and ear bobs, as she called them. Great memories!

My dress today was chosen by my husband while out shopping. I didn’t try it on until we got home, it didn’t fit (it wouldn’t zip). I decided to keep it. I needed to drop a few LB’s anyway. Fast forward three weeks later, it fits! I’m not saying I lost any weight, but something happened 🙂 and I’m happy about it!

Yellow is one of my favorite Summer colors. I think it does something for my complexion. This floral dress is so soft and I simply love the silhouette. It’s so girly and SOFT looking. Anything with pockets and a sash is OK with me. I wanted to keep my entire look soft by adding pearls to the mix. Nothing is softer than pearls. I kept that softness down to my feet by wearing a cream strappy heels.

My BAG today was a straw clutch. I felt like it was just as soft and a great accompaniment to my entire outfit.

Sunday Look: Off- The- Shoulder Jumpsuit

Blogs, , , , , , ,
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.

Stay cool  my friends…

Sunday Look: Summer Style In A Kimono

Blogs, , , , , , ,
Happy Sunday!  What does one wear when it’s so Image result for sun 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.
