Faux fur Vest and Orange Cords

Holla! 😁 Happy Wednesday. Just a quick post here starting with good news from my neck of the woods here in the state of Minnesota. The weather is starting to warm up; woot! woot!! It's 40*F today and the temperature is going to be in the upper thirties to forties all through next week. Anything above 10*F is always good news here so you can tell how excited I am 😅 The only downside is that the snow is starting to melt and so there is the problem of slushy snow and icy driveways. This is one more reason why I like to wear heels at this time; the chances of my pants being muddied or soiled with wet snow is less.


I figured it was time to loosen up a bit fashion wise; so away with the heavy coats and layering and in comes this simple outfit; a faux fur vest over a turtle neck sweater and a pair of bright orange colored corduroy pants; definitely time to bring on the colors. I have this love-hate relationship with orange colors; sometimes, I love it and most times I don't. Somehow, I own a lot of orange colored pieces in my closet and I'm not too sure how that happened 😏 Well, if it is in the closet, we got to wear it right? What do you think of orange color pieces/clothing? Thanks a lot for reading as always.

Old and New

Hi Friends; I hope February is going great thus far. The phrase "how time flies" has become some sort of a cliche these days because it is used so often but time really does fly. As I got ready today I remembered that I had posted this same dress on the blog about three years ago in this post here. I was just new to blogging then and my posts were just mainly rambles and my pictures were all unedited with very poor or no lighting. It is not as if my pictures are perfect now but I really have come a long, long way and I'm so thankful to God that I'm still alive today doing all the wonderful things that I love which includes writing and blogging. So, my blog turns three next month; **woot! woot!!**

Now to the outfit; I'm always so glad when I'm able to transition my summer clothes into fall and winter. All I had to do was put on some layers and this old dress was good to go. Also, what I really love about it is the color. Initially, I thought it was blue but now I think it is a "teal color." What do you think; blue or teal?

Dress: Marshalls (old)
Tights: Express
Trench Coat: Victorias secret
Bucket bag: Ann Taylor (here)
Booties: Altuzzarra for Target (sold out)
Belt: Target.

I thought this old dress with my old Express tights (I have worn this tights to pieces..lol) needed some new accessories to go with it and I paired it with my new bucket bag from Ann Taylor. I had a hard time trying to decide whether I wanted the beige color bag or the dark color but I eventually went for the dark color. The bag is smaller than I expected but I think it is okay for some outfits. I also got out my trench coat from Victorias secret which was on my summer list here and blogged about here and I was good to go. Oh, my Altuzzarra for Target booties completed the whole look. I always get so excited when I am able to fit into my old clothes.

Matthew 12:9-12New International Version (NIV)

9 Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, 10 and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

11 He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out?12 How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

New Gadgets..

Hi Friends, just one more day before the Thanksgiving holiday **Woot! Woot!!** I rushed to the store after work today and  got everything on my grocery list and I'm all set to start prepping for the big thanksgiving dinner. I'll tell you a secret though; I'm not such a great cook; yeah, I let it out...that is one of my weak points...:-). However, when it comes to holidays, I become a pro. I think holidays bring out the hidden chef in me...:-)

This outfit is what I wore on Saturday to a friend's birthday party for her son. It was a kiddies birthday and I took my kids along to celebrate with their friend. Somehow, I just wanted to dress up and have an excuse to wear my new Altuzarra for Target booties. You see, I have been spoiling myself lately with all kinds of gifts and I must say I'm a bit saturated now unless Santa wants to deliver more gifts to me...:-). I purchased this knit midi skirt from Victorias secret about three years ago and I really love it. I wish they had it in different colors, I would have got them all. My earrings were gifted to me by my aunt last summer and I love the way it matches with the hardware on my bag and booties. Also, the floral socks were gifted to me by hubs for my birthday two years ago and they are still very durable. They are from Express and I know Express does have great accessories if you want to check them out. So, almost every piece I'm wearing is old except for my booties; what then are the new gadgets that I got; the title of my post?

I got new gadgets for the blog!...:-) a translation gadget at the top right hand corner of the blog and the Bible reader gadget at the bottom of the page. Check them out.  So, you see, I have gifted myself quite a bit recently (with Altuzarra boots and booties and gadgets..:-)). Now, it's  time to gift (to give) others and I'm thinking of another GIVEAWAY on the blog too. What gifts have you received or spoiled yourself with lately? Thanksgiving is around the corner friends and so is Christmas and New Year. The season of giving is upon us.
