White sweater + Grey Pants

 

 

 

 

 

The old Fashion rule says "do not wear white color clothing after Memorial day holiday" but no one adheres to that anymore. You can wear white whenever you want even in the snow. While it has not snowed yet in my city, it certainly has been cold and all my sweaters are out but the heavy, long coats are still hanging pretty in the closet; not time for those yet. So, I wore this outfit a few days ago; white cowl neck sweater over grey

Khaki Trench Coat + Block heel Pumps

So, the weather has started to warm up a lot and it is actually going to be in the 50s next week; currently, the temps is in the upper 30s to 40s and it's definitely time to get out the trench coats and lighter jackets. This Khaki trench coat is an Ivanka Trump brand and it's an old purchase from Nordstrom. I like the beautiful intricate details on the coat like the bows on the sleeves and the folded inseams at the back and the contrast color lapels; definitely a well tailored trench coat. I paired it with a white tee and black denim and green velvet pumps blogged about HERE. The pumps appear to be black in these pics due to the pics quality but they are actually dark green and gave a nice contrast to the coat; speaking of which; I'm quite aware of all the controversy surrounding the Ivanka Trump brand right now and although this is not a political blog but I'll just give my two cents on the matter here.


In as much as I support business decisions made by stores and their right to stop carrying items that do not sell, I also believe it is not a good idea to snub Ivanka Trump's brand because of her Dad's attitude. I follow Ivanka Trump on Instagram and I love her family commitment and her entrepreneurial skills and she really makes beautiful clothing and shoes because I have a couple of items from her brand in my closet right now. I know everyone has the right to make whatever decisions they choose to but the Christianly thing to do is to move on and pray for everyone including your enemies and show them love when you can. I know this is a very hard and sensitive issue..."Anywho," I am on a shopping freeze right now so, I won't be buying any item from Nordstrom or any other store that is involved with this controversy but I'll gladly wear and blog about her clothing that I already purchased a while back. Hmmm**clears throat** what say you?  🙆

**Bible Verse of the Day**

 

 

 

1 Timothy 2: 1-3

 

 

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for Kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior...

Shoe Lovin' - Steve Madden Velvet Sandals

 

 

Velvet boots are trending this fall and since I am not a great fan of velvet boots, (I rather have the pumps and sandals) my eyes are set on next Spring and Summer with the hope that the trend continues till next season. I saw this velvet sandals online and I loved it right away; such a great color.

Shoe lovin' - Velvet Pumps

The velvet trend is very huge right now however, if you follow fashion trends, you'll know that it is recycled; the velvet trend was around sometime in the nineties. The only difference I see right now is that the trend is very heavy in footwear; pumps, sandals, flats and boots. The important thing to remember at all times is that; trends come and go and there is no need spending money on them when they won't last. The savvy Fashionista should only invest in classic pieces and fashion that that is timeless.

 

 

This blog tries to showcase trends (at least to an extent) with links on where you can shop for them on a budget and the Find for today is the Velvet pumps. I found this beautiful pair of velvet flats on the DSW website and it is from a lower end designer I am familiar with; "Penny loves Kenny." This pair is totally sold out online but you can still purchase the high heeled version from the link below and it comes in other beautiful colors like cobalt blue.

Happy Shopping...
