Sunday Look: Suit

March 31, 2019BlogsCool Weather Wear, Double Breasted, Ladies Suit, Navy Blue, Spring Fashion, Statement Necklace, Today's Fashionstyleyourbestbeauti@gmail.com

Happy Sunday… What in the world is going on? I was so sure our Texas Spring had arrived. Little did I know we would have another cool spell. I’m not complaining, but man I wasn’t prepared mentally.

What does one wear when the weather surprises you and it’s 5th Sunday? LOL! Glad you asked. I had to defer for sure. How about a “suit” not only was it the perfect “suit” but it gave me the added warmth I needed for our surprisingly lower temperatures.

The plaid and floral mix textured fabric made a fantastic looking suit dress. Being double-breasted made it even dressier. There is something about this “suit” that makes me feel so put together 😉 . This dress can go from the church house to the boardroom.

When I started to accessorize of course I started out with pearls. Then I was like, that’s so expected. I’ve always loved my long beaded blue knotted necklace. Late last night I threw it around the hanger and I liked it! It wasn’t until this morning I saw how perfect it really was. I found some bling ear-bobs (as my mother use to call them) to add to the sparkle. Electric blue pumps took it to the max 🙂 .

My BAG today was special (a gift from my husband) a crocodile clutch with optional shoulder chain. It was a great addition to the final look. When you know, you know!

Until next time...

Sunday Look: It’s A Wrap “Jumpsuit”

March 17, 2019BlogsFloral Prints, Mustard Color Accessories, Spring Colors, Spring Fashion, Today's Fashion, Velvet Shoes, Winter Wearstyleyourbestbeauti@gmail.com

Happy Sunday… and Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all that celebrate. Another week in the books. This month is moving quickly. Next week Winter will be over and Spring will hopefully show up in its place. I’m already there in my mind. Pretty sure we have a few more Winter episodes lurking in the background. I’m not waiting, I’ve already started my Spring wardrobe.

Today I chose a floral wrap jumpsuit with a keyhole front. I had to make that keyhole church appropriate by wearing a cami underneath. I love the uniqueness of this jumpsuit. The legs wrap around and to my surprise it gives you a MAJOR split when you sit down, oops! Trust me, I was able to keep it classy 🙂 . I can wear this jumpsuit out on the town and be sexy with my high splits 😉 .

Remember how I always say you should pull out one or two colors in your outfit. My first choice was to pull out the orange or yellow. I went with the yellow (mustard) I’m calling it. I found the perfect mustard color earrings, I felt like I needed to make a statement somewhere. I could have done that with a necklace but that’s always expected “the statement necklace”. I kept the necklace in the same color pallet, but understated. Can we talk about these shoes for a second. They are beyond perfect! The mustard color accented perfectly and the velvet added another texture to the entire outfit.

My BAG, a round bamboo shoulder bag. It was the icing, point, blank, period! It added yet another element of texture. I can’t think of a better choice.

This entire outfit has so many layers of different textures, from the earrings, to the shoes, to the bag. It all just works.

Get ready people, Spring is coming so let the color popping begin!

Sunday Look: Spring Beginnings

March 10, 2019BlogsBurgandy, Floral Prints, Rose Gold, Sock Booties, Spring Colors, Today's Fashion, Winter Clothing, Winter Wearstyleyourbestbeauti@gmail.com

Hello and Happy Sunday! I’ve found myself to be in a bit of a slump. Sometimes life grabs you by the horns and try to drag you down.

Has this weather been crazy or what? All this back and forth of cool weather then hot. I’m over it! I decided to bring in Spring early with today’s outfit. Yes, I’m saying bring on Spring. You all know I LOVE me some cold weather, but the inconsistency of it all…. 🙁 . I love me some winter clothing.

Today’s outfit was wishful thinking that Spring is well on its way. I’ve worn this floral print skirt before. The burst of blooms against the black background makes a colorful statement. Paired with a burgundy loose fitting top with full pleated layers on the sleeves. Guys, I have this top in three different colors. I purchased a green one last summer. At the end of the season last year, I found a black one and this burgundy one I’m wearing today on the clearance rack. There was no way I could leave them there. I got two for less than I paid for one 🙂 .

Today’s accessories was non other than rose gold. Every piece from my earrings, necklace, watch and bangles was rose gold. I thought it paired superbly with the burgundy. I couldn’t have chosen a better shoe either. The burgundy sock booties really set off the entire outfit. This is probably the last time I will get to wear them this season. Great way to end this thing they call Winter, LOL !!!

My BAG today was a deep burgundy velvet shoulder bag with gold trim. Sometimes it’s not good to repeat the same color scheme over and over. This worked because of the deep burgundy, it stood out on its own. Love the entire look. I felt good today!

I didn’t Blog last week so I thought I would include last weeks Sunday Look. I wore a bright lime green long vest with cream colored slacks and top. My shoes and bag popped in the same color green. Loved this outfit too.

Sunday Look: Stripe Tent Dress

February 24, 2019BlogsBoots, Stripes, Tent Dress, Today's Fashion, Winter Clothing, Winter Wearstyleyourbestbeauti@gmail.com

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.

Sunday Look: MOD

January 6, 2019BlogsDuster Vest, MOD, Pearls, Plaid, Straight Leg Pant, Suede, Today's Fashion, Vest, Winter Clothing, Winter Wearstyleyourbestbeauti@gmail.com

Happy first Sunday of 2019… Guess what guys? It’s my birthday week! My birthday is in two days. I’m so excited. 🙂 . Do you get birthday perks from merchants? I’ve gotten freebies and percentages off from jewelry to food and everything in-between. I may not be able to use them all, but I’m certainly going to try 😉 .

Is this weather playing tricks on us or what? That’s Texas weather for ya! I had to completely change up my wardrobe plans for today. The forecast wasn’t favorable for what I was planning to wear.

Today’s outfit, a matching two piece (sold separately). A MOD long duster-inspired vest with oversized patch pockets paired with slim straight leg pants. This look is so retro, especially the print. It reminds me of the 70’s. Plaid has been a huge trend for the Fall and Winter seasons. I should be able to restyle this outfit by wearing the pants without the vest and pairing the vest with jeans or a long skirt with boots.

It didn’t take much to accessories this outfit. A long pearl & gold necklace and earrings did the job. I wore cream colored suede pointy toe pumps. Wearing the lighter colors enhanced the colors of the plaid.

My BAG, a cream fold-over clutch with patches of animal print. I thought it would be fun to mix the plaid and animal print. I love mixing different patterns and textures together. The two paired very well together.

Sunday Look: Coat Dress

December 30, 2018BlogsBell Sleeves, Coat, Coat Dress, Jacquard, Today's Fashion, Winter Clothing, Winter Wearstyleyourbestbeauti@gmail.com

Happy Sunday… I missed you guys last week. I had my (red) outfit all ready. I had the worst allergy attack. How can this be the last Sunday of 2018? What a year, huh!… So grateful I’m still here to see it to the end. How many of you make New Years Resolutions? I don’t, I try to make goals and hope to see them through.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas, ours was blessed. It was a great day for family. Now it’s time to take down all the beautiful decorations.

Even though Christmas was in the seventies, today we were in the thirties and that made me so happy. It was the perfect day for actual winter clothing.

Today’s outfit was a Green Paisley Jacquard Bell Sleeve coat dress with double breasted bodice. This coat wears beautifully buttoned up. I wore a short black sleeveless dress underneath (just in case) 😉 . This coat is not new at all. I’ve had it several years and I never remember to wear it. So happy I remembered it today! 🙂 .

Style Tip: If you are wearing a coat as a dress make sure whatever you wear underneath does not hang longer than the coat itself.

Since it was a cool day and “coat weather” I added black gloves (my mother’s gloves, which made them special) and stockings. I also accessorized with a black beaded necklace and black earrings. I chose a pointy toe black pump to finish off the look.

My BAG today was a quilted faux patent leather satchel featuring a flat top handle. Such a cute little bag that happens to be very roomy inside. Perfect bag to play dress-up.

I wish each of you a safe and Happy New Year. Lastly, what are you wearing New Year’s Eve?

Sunday Look: Holiday Crush

December 16, 2018BlogsCrush Velvet, Holiday Attire, Red & Black, Today's Fashion, Velvetstyleyourbestbeauti@gmail.com

Happy Sunday everyone! It’s really beginning to look a lot like Christmas, LOL… So much is happening. Everything is so beautiful. We had the honor of watching our granddaughter sing in the Holiday concert at her school. Such beautiful voices, we enjoyed every minute. Another treat was the 7 Sayings of Christmas our church does each year.

Well, you know me and the Holidays, RED, RED, RED. I’m so obsessed with this color and it certainly does scream HOLIDAY TIME… FOR ME.

Believe it or not, this outfit wasn’t planned. I had planned on wearing the top with a black skirt. At the very last minute I changed. “Crush Velvet” sounds like an old-fashioned term doesn’t it? I haven’t heard that term in forever, nor have I worn it. I’ve had this red cold shoulder velvet top for a while. I wore it Valentine’s Day. It’s a top for dual holidays 😉 . There are so many ways to style this top. I paired it with a few different options this morning. Pink slacks, two different hues and black skirts. (Are you surprised about the pink option?) I totally forgot about these black crush velvet joggers, the tapered at the ankle makes them dressier than elastic. I added a black ribbon tied in a perfect bow.

When you reach the bottom of this post and see where I purchased both of these you will be surprised. This just goes to show “you make the clothes, the clothes don’t make you”. Everything doesn’t have to be expensive and name brand for you to look good. I love my ~~cheap~~ inexpensive outfit! I felt like a million bucks 🙂 .

There was no better way to accessorize this outfit than with BLING. You can’t ask for a better backdrop. Let’s not forget the pointy toe shoes!

My handbag has festive details with pearls and red stones. I call this one my “Holiday Bag”!

Sunday Look: Holiday Tulle

December 9, 2018BlogsHoliday Attire, Red, Scarf, Sequin, Today's Fashion, Tullestyleyourbestbeauti@gmail.com

Happy Sunday! What have you all been up to so far this Holiday Season? I’m enjoying all the glitz and glamour. Even though I enjoy it all, I’m still very aware of the “Reason for the Season”. I’ve finished all my inside decorations and things are looking oh so beautiful and festive.

In keeping with my Holiday tradition of wearing RED, I managed to keep it festive again. I think I’ve mentioned this before, I love to shop in the kids department sometimes, they have some really cute clothing that’s appropriate for adults 🙂 . My skirt was a kids department find. I love tulle… This skirt is frilly & festive with a hint of glitter, making it the perfect piece for Christmas that’s both fashionable and comfortable. I paired it with a RED sheeny knit top featuring a round neckline, long shirred balloon sleeves with banded cuffs. The fit is so smooth and sleek, it made tucking easy.

I accessorized with a pair of very festive open teardrop floral earrings with the look of sequins. Instead of wearing a necklace, I opted for a Christmas scarf, tied in a festive bow. I chose a satin high heel shoe with a square rhinestone buckle on the toe.

My handbag today had to be red as well. Not only was it red, but red sequins. There was no better pairing for tulle and satin than a sequins handbag.
