Khaki Trench Coat + Block heel Pumps

So, the weather has started to warm up a lot and it is actually going to be in the 50s next week; currently, the temps is in the upper 30s to 40s and it's definitely time to get out the trench coats and lighter jackets. This Khaki trench coat is an Ivanka Trump brand and it's an old purchase from Nordstrom. I like the beautiful intricate details on the coat like the bows on the sleeves and the folded inseams at the back and the contrast color lapels; definitely a well tailored trench coat. I paired it with a white tee and black denim and green velvet pumps blogged about HERE. The pumps appear to be black in these pics due to the pics quality but they are actually dark green and gave a nice contrast to the coat; speaking of which; I'm quite aware of all the controversy surrounding the Ivanka Trump brand right now and although this is not a political blog but I'll just give my two cents on the matter here.

In as much as I support business decisions made by stores and their right to stop carrying items that do not sell, I also believe it is not a good idea to snub Ivanka Trump's brand because of her Dad's attitude. I follow Ivanka Trump on Instagram and I love her family commitment and her entrepreneurial skills and she really makes beautiful clothing and shoes because I have a couple of items from her brand in my closet right now. I know everyone has the right to make whatever decisions they choose to but the Christianly thing to do is to move on and pray for everyone including your enemies and show them love when you can. I know this is a very hard and sensitive issue..."Anywho," I am on a shopping freeze right now so, I won't be buying any item from Nordstrom or any other store that is involved with this controversy but I'll gladly wear and blog about her clothing that I already purchased a while back. Hmmm**clears throat** what say you? 🙆

**Bible Verse of the Day**

1 Timothy 2: 1-3

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for Kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior...

Polka Dots + Red wide-leg Pants

Happy Wednesday Friends, I hope the week is going great. I do not celebrate Valentine on February 14th as I believe Love should be celebrated any day and everyday; so, I did not make much fuss about it here on the blog. I have been married for over ten years and I have two boys and two girls ranging from ages three to ten and I strongly believe that love should be celebrated between couples especially on anniversaries and birthdays. If February 4th Valentine celebration happens to be one of the special days you celebrate with your spouse; it is perfectly okay.

My outfit for the day is a polka dots blouse tucked into a pair of red wide legged pants purchased from Victoriassecret years ago. They are the most comfortable and trendy pants ever and the quality is amazing; definitely the perfect work pants. The polka dots blouse is from Loft and currently sold out but I have included links of similar items below the pics if you want to check them out. This outfit is feminine and chic at the same time and definitely appropriate for work in a corporate setting on Valentine's day or day after Valentines. Keep spreading the love 💞

If you want a feminine look, then you should accessorize with pieces/items with ruffles, flowers, pearls and crystals or diamonds based on your budget. On the other hand, if you need a more edgy look, then you have to go with straps, studs, tassels or plain bold clutches like the accessories in Style board #2 above. Happy styling.

Striped Shirt + White wide leg Pants

Happy Monday Everyone; another work wear outfit today on the blog. We all know striped shirts are trending at the moment and there is always something extra about the striped blouses/shirts; ruffles, and more ruffles, dramatic sleeves, and necklines; just name it. This neck tie blouse I am wearing here is an old purchase from Loft and the white wide-legged pants is from Nordstrom; also an old purchase. It is always a great delight when clothing items from season's past are still trendy in present day and that is one great reason why it is important that we buy classy and timeless pieces. The neck tie detail on this striped long sleeved blouse which is sometimes referred to as the "pussy neck blouse" gives a feminine touch to the formal striped work shirt. The blouse is currently sold out in this design/stripes at Loft but there are other great options of neck tie blouses on-line. My blue patent pumps completed the look.

How is your week going? I hope you are starting the new work week with a new and better attitude in life? I woke up this morning with a renewed attitude to keep living my life with a God-given purpose at all times. N o material possession or life situation should change our God given purpose in life. 'you want to know more about this God given purpose? Check out my scripture of the day below. As always, these pics were taken on my front porch with my iPhone by my five year old daughter 😁 Thanks a lot for stopping by my blog and for your sweet thoughts and comments.
