Happy first day of Spring!

        Happy first day of spring! The calendar says it is spring but Minnesota streets are saying something else! I am excited for the warmer temperatures to get here but we have so much snow on the ground that we do not even want the snow to melt quickly just to combat against flooding. I took these pictures today and this outfit is the combination of two outfits I posted on the blog recently. I am wearing the grey sweater I wore here over the denim maxi skirt I wore in this post here and boots I wore in this post.   I know these pictures do not do this outfit justice because they are a bit blurry, taken on a cloudy day. By the way, this coat is different from the one I wore here in this post.

Fashion Find: Swan Cloud Maxi Skirt at Chicwish

"Fashion Find" is a new feature or post on the blog that highlights any fashion piece that is outstanding or makes a statement just like this tiered maxi skirt above. This segment would only highlight clothing pieces and bags and jewelry or any other item related to fashion with the exception of shoes. All shoe posts will continue to be highlighted in the "Shoe Loving" posts like this one here and here and here and here; So back to this beautiful piece from Chicwish. It is a gorgeous skirt, hand made from layers of soft lace and tulle. It looks very delicate and stunning and would look great for any special occasion like wedding, bridal shower, birthday celebrations and special holidays like Easter and Christmas. The only con in wearing this piece is that you have to ensure you are not upstaging the celebrant/host of the event or special occasion you have been invited to and the style is not totally new, It has been around for a while now. The skirt comes in four colors; grey, pink, cream and lilac and you can check them  out here.

The Patch-work trend: White top + denim Skirt

Happy flashback Friday. Today's post is a big flashback to these old pics from my Blog folder and this  eighties look; patch work denim. I took these pictures some time last summer on a cool summer day. It was a very simple look like my looks always are; white sleeveless top, patch-work denim skirt with fringe bottom, pink fringe earrings for a pop of color and a black pair of mules. It was a very casual look but I wore it to Church for a Wednesday Mid-week service. The eighties fashion is coming up in blazers, pant suits, shoulder pads, graphic tees, denim skirts and even leopard prints. It is time to start digging into our closets for those old pieces. Are you excited for the come back of leopard prints or the shoulder pads? I'm having second thoughts about those. Thanks for visiting.

Grey maxi skirt + black cowl neck Sweater

 Happy Wednesday everyone 😆 It's supposed to be spring, right? I know you would be surprised to see boots and a sweater on a fashion blog at this time of the year but hey, I live in Minnesota or where we fondly call "Minne-snow-ta" because of our harsh and long winter. So, while the most of the U.S. has been celebrating and enjoying spring for a while, we just left our winter behind us days ago. Presently, it's starting to warm up but still gets a little cold in

Blue Lace and red maxi Skirt

Hi Friends; I hope everyone is doing great; so much is happening in this world of ours these days that is so difficult to understand. So much violence and brutality in our beloved country; the U.S.A. It was independence day/July 4th a few days ago nd this outfit is what I wore over the weekend to church. The top is a Jcrew dress which I used as a top for my maxi Chicwish skirt. Lace dresses are so chic and so, so versatile for the fact that they do double duty as tops.

There are tons of ways of styling blue, red and white for independence celebration but for this outfit, I chose to eliminate the white and wore some tan color heels instead. Some people think wearing patriotic colors to celebrate July 4th is cheesy but I think it is fun; and fun and celebration are things we all need to strive for in this world rather than all the violence and killings. My heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones. #Blacklivesmatter #Alllivesmatter
