Accessorize Me!

Dress: Chadwicks
Bag: Aldo
Scarf: T. J. Maxx
Bracelets: Target
Shoes: Colin Stuart via Victoriassecret
 










These are some of the pictures I took during the summer and I apologize for the poor quality. I lost my flash drive soon after then found it about a week ago. I am hoping to get a better camera soon.
Accessorizing does make a difference in the  styling of outfits. I used to wear this lime green dress with just black accessories; a black pair of shoes and a black purse. This time I decided to wear my pointed toe cobalt blue shoes and I tied a white and green scarf on  my purse; definitely made the dress more interesting.

                      Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed and wonderful Sunday.

Summer Flashback


I attended a friend's wedding during the summer and really had a great time. This wine colored dress was purchased from Venus online store a couple of years ago. The warm color and high quality fabric makes it one of my favorite pieces. Some people get scared and judgmental when they see a pregnant woman in heels but  I'm glad I got none of those funny stares at my friend's wedding. My hubby drove and all I did when I got there was sit down and have a good time; I never danced though...:) I only got up to take a couple of pictures and also made all those endless trips to the bathroom...:) I'm in my last trimester right now and really feeling great. God is good to me and I never fail to thank him for his love and goodness. With thanksgiving just around the corner, let's pause to count all those endless blessings in our lives.

Clutch: T. J. Maxx

I loved the purple and green décor

Boots in...

 
 
 
 
So, I got my new flat soled boots! Most of the boots I had in my closet before this new arrival were high heeled boots and the flat soled boots were basically worn out and out of shape...:) As usual, the first place I turned to when I started searching for the perfect pair was Victoriassecret.com. Their shoes are pretty affordable, of good quality and trendy. After browsing through the site, I picked my favorite pairs under $100.00 and blogged about them here. My first choice however, was the Report Maverick Riding boot which was a little over a $100. My intention was not to spend any amount over a $100 and when I got a coupon in the mail for $10 off plus the free shipping that was advertised on the site, I decided that it was time to make the purchase. And now I got my cute riding boots. My baby is due this winter and this will definitely go on several outings to all those clinical visits and post-natal check-ups. I'm glad and excited to be a mom for the fourth time and I want to remain stylish while at it...:)

Happy November

Blazer: Old
Tee: Target
Pants and clutch: T.J. Maxx (old)
Shoes: Zigisoho via DSW











 Happy November everyone. It's amazing how fast the months are flying by. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and soon we'll be talking about Christmas. Now this gets me excited because each day gets me closer to meeting our little angel. Our baby is due this Christmas and that is the best Christmas gift ever. Everyone is so excited.

I am wearing pieces that have been in the closet for a while now and as you can see, my love for animal prints has not ended. I saw this pants at T. J. Maxx last summer and could not pass them up. Years ago, I would have laughed at the idea of owning a pair of animal prints pants but now that blogging has made me more adventurous with my wardrobe, I have no problem wearing them.

I wish you all the best this month and I sincerely extend my thanks to all that stopped by to wish me a happy birthday in my last post. I still have a few pictures left over from the summer and I would post them soon. Also, I'm trying to put a post together where I can unveil my natural look; no wigs and no make-up...:) I am itching to document that look on the blog. Thanks so much for visiting and have a great weekend.

Another sheer top...

Sheer top & Clutch: T. J. Maxx
Pants: Target (old)
Shoes: Colin Stuart via Victoriassecret
Bracelets: Neighborhood boutique
 

 

 




It was such a cloudy day today with sprinkles of rain on and off but the temp was in the forties so, it was not too bad. I just got done with my chores and remembered that I had to blog before going to bed. So, this is birthday/summer outfit count down to "one." Yeah, you guessed right. The count down ends at zero tomorrow which happens to be my birthday! I'm beyond excited.

We don't have anything planned and I know there is not going to be any surprise party for me. After successfully ruining a couple of surprise parties over the years, my friends and hubby have given up on that. The last surprise party I had was on my birthday a couple of years ago in my final year of college. I had a major paper and presentation to give on the day after my birthday and not having any knowledge of the huge academic workload, my hubby and friends planned a surprise birthday party for me. I rushed home from work with the intention of doing some last minute revisions on my paper/presentation only to be greeted by excited friends and family and a grooving party. I was surprised alright but I could not concentrate on having fun at the party and everyone saw and got to know how distressed I was. The presentation was not too bad at the end of the day but I always knew I would have done better if I just did some extra work the day before...:)

So, it is Halloween tomorrow and it is also my birthday. The only thing I'm sure about is that hubby has a big bag of candy ready for the kids when they come knocking on the door. We usually do not dress up our kids for Halloween or allow them to go trick-a-treating but their friends and other kids who show up at the house do get some treats.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for your lovely comments. I would stop over at your blog soon to find out what is cooking...:) Now, I got to go to bed...

Aging..??



I could not help laughing at myself last night when I got done with uploading my posting and discovered that I had made a big error. Instead of counting down to my birthday, I have actually been counting up! Can you believe that? "I must be getting really old very fast that I do not remember how to count down anymore;" I told myself. I was counting from one upwards and a count down goes from the large number down. duh!....:) I had to go back to make corrections on my previous postings.

So, this is day two/count down to my birthday outfit; one of the outfits I wore this past summer on a very hot day; a sheer blouse over a pair of ankle pants. I do not remember where I was going which makes me more scared...:) Anyway, at least I remember and know that I'm still in my thirties and that's less scary...:)


Sheer blouse: T. J. Maxx
Pants: Loft
Shoes: Nine West

Thanks so much for stopping by and do have a lovely week. Remember to continue to have an attitude of gratitude in life and make God the focus of your attention.

Getting Closer..


It's day three of the Summer outfits/birthday count-down and though I'm so tired and sleepy right now, I did not want to miss my posting and just had to do it before going to bed. The outfit in this picture was worn at the close of the summer; sometime last month when I just got my low heeled leopard prints pump I blogged about here. I wore a simple sleeveless brown dress I purchased from Target last summer underneath a beige jacket and my new prints shoes completed the look. The pictures are not so clear but I decided to post them anyways.


Dress: Target
Jacket: Old Navy
Shoes: J. Crew
Bag: Kenneth Cole
Sun glasses: Target



Ouuu..gh (a big yawn). Now, I got to go to bed to get my beauty sleep. Thanks so much for visiting my blog and have a great week.

Loving the prints..

White Hanes tee: Target
Animal Prints Skirt: Victoriassecret
Shoes: Victoriassecret
Bag: Aldo
Bracelet: Neighborhood store

Four more days before my birthday and this is day four! count down outfit. My love for Animal Prints is ongoing and I do not know when it's going to stop...:) I got this Victoriassecret skirt over the summer which I blogged about in this previous post. What I like most about the skirt is that the animal prints is not so over powering and as such it can be worn to almost  any place. Throwing a neutral color blazer over it can make it appropriate for casual Fridays in a work environment that is not so formal and a simple change in top and accessories is what this skirt really needs to go to any place. In this case, I just threw a white tee over it because I went to a casual event; a friend's get-together party at her place.



Initially I thought of throwing in some red accessories like putting on a pair of red pumps then I thought that was really cliché and decided to go with black pumps and purse. The black prints bracelet also got thrown in to highlight the other black accessories.

 






 Now that I scored this skirt, I am thinking of moving on to another print skirt I recently found on polyvore that I blogged about in this post here. The River Island Animal prints skirt has very fine details that makes it unique and though the prints are very bold, it is actually a color block design. The back view is all black and the prints is only an insert at the front. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed on it because I have never shopped at River Island before. Has anyone ever shopped at River Island? Any thoughts...
