From Summer to Winter Midi skirt

Happy Thursday Everyone 😃 the weekend is almost here. It's freezing in my city and the temperature is going to drop even more this weekend with lots of snow. This post is on how to wear your summer pieces in the cold season or Winter. The key to do this is always the change of accessories as we all already know by now. I wore this Ann Taylor pineapple print midi skirt a couple of times in the summer and blogged about it HERE. This piece by all indications,  is definitely a summer piece at least judging by the print. This midi skirt was a huge hit in the stores and online because it sold out pretty quickly. Fast forward to last Sunday when we had a huge snow storm and I reached for the skirt again 😂


I have a couple of winter or heavy fabric skirts in my closet that I could have worn to church last Sunday but I was determined on wearing this particular skirt so I whopped out my winter accessories; this DIY faux fur snood, my knit sweater dress (worn as top) and over the knee boots. I completed the look with a blue long coat which is not shown in these pics and I was comfy and chic! Don't you think? wink!! Thanks so much for reading.

Cobalt Plaid

Hi Friends; happy Wednesday. This is just a quick post on this pretty cobalt blue color plaid skirt I purchased and wore over the summer; tucked my black onesie black shirt into it and completed my look with this pretty Asos pompom sandals blogged about HERE. The plaid print is very popular in the Fall and Winter season but mostly in the styles of plaid scarfs and coats. With a plaid skirt like this one, you would definitely diversify the way you wear plaid. This skirt can be dressed up for work with a great chunky sweater and a pair of nice booties. I purchased this at Target but it is currently sold out. I have put links to similar skirts below. Thanks so much for reading.

Prints and Pink

Happy Tuesday 😁 and thanks for stopping by here. I realized I have been putting up blog posts almost every day for the last few weeks and I'm not sure if I can keep it up for a long time but it is okay for now and I am having fun doing it. So, thank-you once again for reading and supporting my love for publishing.

This is just a quick post showing what I wore to church a few week ago; a mix of leopard prints and this hot pink pants which is so comfy I could live in them  all day. I have a sudden love for white and black color leopard prints and have purchased a few items in this shade of leopard prints. How bold can you go with your pink?

 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.
