Holiday Lookbook: Blazer + Faux fur Stole

Happy Thursday Friends 😃 I'm here today with another holiday look; a casual outfit featuring holiday accessories. Most of the time, we ladies, spend too much money buying new outfits for the holiday season when we have a closet full of clothes and I must say I am guilty of this too. I always feel like I need something new and do not want to wear my last holiday season outfits again this year. This time, I decided to reduce the stress of shopping for new outfits (although I have my eyes on this beautiful skirt here)  to put new holiday outfits together from pieces and accessories that I already own in my closet and that is how this look came about. This outfit is a look you can wear to casual holiday parties; you know the one that is not so formal; maybe a Christmas party hosted by your friends or an after work Christmas dinner with your co-workers. The foundation for this outfit; a blazer, a pair of blue denim and a white top are clothes or pieces that we already own in our closet. I used holiday or special occasion accessories; the sparkly belt, silver metallic heels, a faux fur stole and sequin metallic clutch to add a holiday touch to the outfit. The statement earrings were purchased on sale at Target over the summer and the statement belt was purchased from Asos and blogged about here. What other casual holiday event do you think this outfit is appropriate for? I think if you switch out the denim for regular dress pants, this outfit would definitely go to several events and even to a very special place, the Church. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Cobalt blue lace dress

So, I attended a friend's Mom's 60th birthday party  a few weeks ago and wore this blue jcrew lace dress. I love the cobalt blue color of and the ruffles at the hem. I just love lace dresses because they can are so versatile. They can be worn to weddings, showers and can be styled as tops. I purchased the dress in a deep purple color too and blogged about it here The red belt was added for a pop of color and I previously styled this dress as a blouse over a long red midi skirt for color-block styling effect somewhere on the blog.


The birthday party had a dress code which was optional;  a "uniform" head-wrap that is a West African cultural, traditional attire. The particular head piece I am wearing here on my dreadlocs is referred to as "Aso-oke." It is a heavy fabric that is usually hand woven and dyed in

Mauve and Metallic

Hi Friends, I hope our week is going great; mine is calm and beautiful just like the weather we are currently enjoying in the twin cities. I just wish the weather would remain this way but I know the winter is lurking around the corner. My prayer is that the oncoming winter is not as harsh as the last one. Meanwhile, I'll enjoy this cool weather we are having right now.

This fluid ankle pants or pajama pants as some people call it is very suitable for this cool weather; very comfy and stylish at the same time. I paired it with this mauve color sweat-shirt tee which is 100% cotton and so comfy but I felt it was a little bit too clingy..:-). I would certainly throw a black jacket over this outfit next time. The metallic heels are my newest addition and I absolutely adore them. The wide ankle straps which are not so visible from the pics give the shoes some edgy look which I like. I also ordered them in black and they are currently on sale here.

Can you believe I got this multi color necklace from Walmart for only 10 bucks?...:-). Head out to your closest Walmart and check them out. I promised to do a post on my Walmart jewelry haul and I'll get to it as soon as possible. Also, I have not forgotten about my Loft necklace giveaway I talked about a couple of months back. I wanted to wait for the right time and to celebrate my birthday which is just around the corner, I will be doing the giveaway. So, watch out for the post. It's going to be fun just like my first. I'll give you a hint right now; the winner of the giveaway would be the first person to comment on the post. So, like I said, watcccch ooout...:-).
