Blush Floral

I was contacted recently by Dresslink to check out their site and pick a couple of items for review and I immediately thought floral midi skirt. I have always loved the trend since it came on the scene but I just thought it was for the millennias initially. I am still in my thirties though but if you put me on a scale, I would lean more towards the big four-zero; a couple more years and I will actually be celebrating that mile stone. So, like I was saying, I decided to try out this trend with the chicwish floral skirt which I wore a couple of weeks ago and I actually liked it. This is why I wasted no time in ordering this skirt when I found it on the Dresslink site. It is currently sold out in this pattern but you can find other options here and here. I paired it with a pink top from loft and blush color pumps.
Stop by at Dresslink when you need pretty elegant lady clothing at affordable prices and they sell wholesale too if you are in the business mode.

If you are looking forward to attending some events this summer, the floral midi skirt would be a style to consider. It is very appropriate for church events, weddings, tea parties, bridal showers, baby showers/christening, wine tasting or even date nights. I wish you all a blessed week. See you soon.

11 Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

12 Greet one another with a holy kiss. 13 All God’s people here send their greetings.

14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

When it's really Summer

When it is summer; hot, sunny and humid, there is no need to spend minutes peering into the closet thinking of what to wear; a floral piece with a light breezy top is the way to go. This is why I stocked up on this light breezy utility blouse last year. I think I got them in four or five colors and the great thing about this blouse is that they can go from office to play and they can layer nicely in the winter time. I could not resist this Chicwish floral skirt when I first saw it online and I must say it is one of my best purchase in recent times.

How is everyone doing? I hope we are all set to enjoy the summer? It is all about the mindset and keeping faith. I believe that I am going to have a great summer and I trust God enough to know that it will happen the way I want it to.

Proverbs 3:5-6New International Version (NIV)

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.[a]

Simple..

It's a very, very windy day in the twin cities today. The wind has been whistling through the trees all through the day. The sun has been out all day too and the weather is actually very beautiful. I decided to go very simple today for my look and though my style is basically simple and minimalistic already but I figured a simple long sleeve over pants is as simple as simple can be.

I decided to make the look a little interesting by picking an animal print long sleeve and just added accessories to the casual look. I do not like to wear sunnies a lot but sometimes the intensity of the sun gives me no choice. 'growing up, I thought sun glasses are only worn by grownups who want to look cool and a little edgy but I realized years ago, that it is a necessary accessory like shoes most of the time. We protect our feet by wearing shoes and we need to protect our eyes from the sun rays too. Anyways, theses sunnies are not mine; I just grabbed them from hubby's glove compartment. He has quite a stash.

I hope everyone is doing great. I'm sending loving thoughts your way all through the new week. I'll be back again soon for another post.

Stepping Out

Red Blouse: Old
Pants: Forever 21
Clutch: T. J. Maxx
Shoes: Louboutin
Sun glasses: Target

These pictures were taken sometime ago. I was just stepping out of the house when I realized that there was something missing about the look. I knew I needed one more accessory and it was my sun glasses. I put it on and immediately felt better about the look. Sans the sun glasses, my eyes were tired and dull but thank God I realized a long time ago that sun glasses are not meant only for protecting the eyes from the rays of the sun. They also hide those slight mishaps which include dark circles. Another "No Brainer"; I know. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed week.

Black and White - Two

 

 

 

 

 Black and white is always so simple and easy to put together considering that they can be put together in hundreds of ways. I featured some of my black and white looks on the blog last year but decided to do a count down of the ones I'm doing this year. So, this is black and white - two. For black and white - one, check here.


I started my blog to document my style makeover and I think it is going well gradually. I used to be in a lot of dark and greys and did not feel like I looked my best. Now, I'm starting to infuse some color into my closet but it does not hurt to do a black and white look or greys once in a while. Style is somewhat subjective most times and some people are comfortable in black the whole year round. I had a course mate in one of my classes when I was in college who wore black outfits to class the entire semester and I used to be amazed at this. I thought of having a conversation with her about her style but was too busy to do so. You see, fashion can be a conversation starter and we can preach any message with the way we dress. I guess everyone should be happy in their comfort zone but for me, I think color is fun. There is a reason God created us black, white and brown. There is a reason roses are red and white and pink; There is a reason trees are short and tall. Diversity is fun and diversity is beautiful. Above all, God made all things beautiful.
