One more way to style leather this Season

     

   Who is looking forward to spring? I am! 😀 I am so looking forward to warmer temperatures. Thankfully, the snow has melted a bit in my neighborhood  except for some patches here and there and it don't look like we are getting any more snow any time soon; time to put the long coats away. Haha! 

I am starting to think I'll have to rent a storage space for my winter coats because my storage room at home is already full or probably it's time to start selling some of them off on pre-loved sites. Anywhoo, this piece here is not going anywhere in a long time cos' I intend to hang onto it for as long as I can; definitely one of my favorite coats!

Gingham Coat + all black Outfit

                     ᒏ have had this long gingham coat for a number of years now and it is one of my favorites. The coat is very trendy, chic and comfortable to wear. It is also a consignment store purchase that I scored for less than $50. A similar coat at high end stores is worth over $500 dollars. It is 100 % wool and the quality is impeccable! I think I ought to start selling fashion on Poshmark by now because I definitely know how to find treasures at the pre-loved stores. For this look, I paired the coat with another all black look just like my previous post. I completed the look with a clear bag with chain hardware to add more texture to the look and a pair of Marc Fisher combat boots which I thrifted a couple of months ago to test out the combat boot trend before I purchased this new pair. Check out the thrift haul on my Instagram Highlights here. And you can see this coat previously styled here and here. I hope everyone is complying with all the guidelines concerning the Covid 19 pandemic. Let's unite to fight this common enemy. Thank you so much for reading.

A flashback look to a Spring Date Night Outfit

Happy Friday everyone 😁 and welcome back to my blog. Like I said in one of my recent posts, I was gone on blog vacation for exactly two months. The last time I was fully active on the blog via published post was here. And my first post back was this one right here. If you are wondering why there are so many posts between, it's because I published them when I got back on active blogging. So, it is safe to say it was not a full blog vacation, it was somewhat a partial one because I was taking pictures and writing blog posts every day while I was away. My blog has become my personal diary and I feel like I have to write something in it everyday. I must say I am addicted to Blogging at this time 😎 The only difference was that I archived my posts in the draft folders while I was away and published them when I got back. So, there is so much to read and catch up on. Just get a snack and a drink and read and browse away. 

Happy February

Happy February Friends; I'm wishing you all, all of God's blessings in this new month. It's kind of cool whenever a new month starts in the weekend when everyone is home resting or worshipping in church. At least, we all get to pause and rest a bit before going back to work to start the workload for the new month. And today is super bowl sunday!!

Do you see some of my Christmas lights in the background in my pics?...Lol. The candy canes were frozen to the ground and we could not pull them out. Now, the snow is starting to melt somewhat but the forecast says we might have some snow this week so these lights would likely photobomb my pictures for a few more weeks.

In this post, I'm wearing one of the latest addition to my statement coat collection. I got this gingham long coat at the consignment store and I was so excited that it was in my size; a little large but it is okay. It is very warm and comfy and I would say it is a classic coat because gingham prints coats of this quality, length and cut are so hard to find these days and when you find them, they are usually very expensive.

I decided to go with a black and white outfit to bring out the quality of the coat and I wore my pigalles for a pop of color. I just realized recently that I haven't been wearing them that much and was also surprised to find so many pairs of shoes in my closet that I have not worn in a long time; not good at all..:-). However, I'm sure I am not the only lady that is guilty of this; I'm sure of that!

So, I hope everyone is doing great? The new year has started rolling again but I don't care so much...:-). I will take each day as it comes while I remain focused on my goals and I would continue to count and dwell on my blessings. My attitude for the new year is to ignore and stay away from all sorts of negative things and people. I will only fill my heart with positive energy and I would continue to work towards my goal of giving back. We all have to make our little contribution one way or the other in making this world a better place.
