 Happy Monday Friends; I hope the new week is going great. I'm talking plaid for Work wear Monday today and from what I see, it seems to be a print that is worn most often by men for work. I mean, just go to the Men's store and you can see lots and lots of shirts in plaid. I want to let ladies know that this is a print they can also do for work and there are endless options to styling them. Also, it is not a print that is reserved for the warm summery months alone; plaid can be styled for work in the Fall too and not just by wearing the plaid jackets and coats. The collages below are just some inspiration on how to put "plaid print looks" together for the cold season.

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.

What to wear in a Blizzard



Happy Saturday Friends; it is snowing over here this weekend and if you are like me, you would wish to lay in bed snuggled under the blankets all day but life doesn't always work that way. Snow or not, you've got to go out and get things done. The outfit sets below are inspiration for those snowy days you wish you want to go about town wrapped up in heavy blankets; ponchos and shearling coats to the rescue...😂


Yes, we can still look cute in ponchos and shearling coats. The key is to accessorize with chic accessories like a great pair of boots, a statement handbag and some nice jewelry and/or make-up. That way, you won't look like you just rolled out of bed to quickly go grab something from the store.

Trench Coat and Sandals





Happy Friday friends. This is another throw back or flashback look from my camera archives. I wore this outfit last Fall and it was not cold at the time so I could wear a pair of sandals with my trench coat. All the pictures  are random and were taken when I was not looking hence the robot-like poses..😄 I remember I took my kids out and they were running excitedly around me and I was trying to get their attention and keep everyone together.

This outfit consists of very basic wardrobe essentials; a white tee, denim, off the shoulder bag and a trench coat which you can swap for a blazer. When in doubt of what to wear somewhere, throw all these pieces together and you are good to go. A good idea is to have two blazers; one in a neutral color and another in a beautiful shade that you love for a great pop of color. And if you do not like blazers, you can do kimonos or sleeveless vests. Have a great weekend everyone.

One more way to wear Plaid..




Happy Thursday Friends; today's outfit is a throwback look I wore in the summer and my inspiration for this look was based on this outfit in this blog post HERE. I know it is Fall and I'm supposed to be posting Fall fashion outfits on here but this is a therapeutic post for me because this is what I actually want to wear right now; distressed denim, pumps, sunglasses, sunnies...Rather, I'm clothed in layers in sub temperature and snowy weather and just dreaming of being on the sunny beach...Lol

Not to digress from the matter at hand, I wanted to show with this post that there is another way we can wear plaid aside from wearing them in clothing like shirts, blouses, pants and scarves. Yes, I'm talking about my plaid pumps. It's such a fun print to add to your shoe collection and it adds a fun vibe to a casual look. One way to pull off this look in a cold Fall day is by adding a long trench coat or a regular coat in a darker color (shade) to the look and/or wearing a turtle neck sweater with shorter sleeves underneath the off-the-shoulder top and pulling the top lower a little bit. What do you think of plaid pumps?

A Pop of Red





This is a very quick post here; I'm sharing this look I wore over the the summer on the blog today just because it has touches of red. If I live in the tropics or somewhere very warm, I would be wearing this outfit again during the upcoming holidays. I got the graphic tee from Wear your Praise; an online store that specializes in the sale of Christian apparel and I do love inspirational graphic tees because they can be dressed up or down. I paired the tee with this cut-out hem midi skirt I purchased from Ann Taylor and completed the look with red fringe sandals. The touch of red in the graphics and the red sandals helped to pull the whole look together.

If you need some inspiration on how to style graphic tees for work and for play, you can check out this post HERE and HERE. This is the season to wear red and you can check out this beautiful tee HERE and get a 10% discount by using the code; BEAUTYOJO
