Red is in Season...

Hi beauties, this is indeed the season of love!! It is February First and I am in red! Okay, not fully in red..:) I took these pictures last Sunday before going to church and as usual it was not the outfit that was planned for the day. I had wanted to wear a khaki pant suit that had been sitting in my closet for ages and it was all ironed out and everything but just when I got out of the bathroom, I looked out the window and it was snowing hard...

So, as usual, I quickly opted for option two. If you live in a place that has such unpredictable weather as I do, you'll make your closet your favorite place in the house and would try to know every item in it just in case of such weather emergencies. And that reminds me; I'll put up a post on my organized closet soon. Since I have not been able to take pictures outdoors because of the snowy cloudy weather we have these days, I have been working on organizing my closet. You can see the last post I did on it here.

My second choice was this long knit skirt I purchased from Victoriassecret a while back. It is in this cool camo color with rubber band waist and very durable fabric. I do not remember exactly how much I paid for it but I know it sold out pretty quickly. I paired the skirt with a white turtle neck top I have owned for a while, cinched my waist with a red belt, put on my grey riding boots and donned the whole look with my red Mudd jacket..oh, I also threw a fuchsia color scarf around my neck for warmth. A clash of colors but everything synchronized in a nice way...:) Red is the color of  the month of February and instead of going out all red, I prefer to throw in dashes of the color here and there. Did you check out the date outfit collages I did in my previous post?

                 I just love the snow; so beautiful and perfect. How wonderful is God's creation!

Had snow flakes flying across my face and as usual, all photos go on the blog no matter how bad...:)

Here is a picture of the skirt on a model I saved from Victoriassecret's website. I'm glad I got to buy the skirt after swooning over it for a long time...:)



                Thanks for visiting my blog and do leave me a comment and I'll check your blog out and like I always say; "Do not forget or neglect to add God to your plans this weekend." Kisses!!!

Summer Date Outfit with hubby

Summer Date Outfit with hubby by ojomrs featuring beaded bags

 

 

 

Hi beauties, Is anyone thinking of summer yet? I'm definitely thinking of it even though Spring is so so far away. Since the color of the season is emerald, I have started planning the perfect date outfit with hubby having this color in mind. I created this collage on Polyvore based on the items I already own in my closet so, I'm set and all ready to go on that perfect date!!

 

Thanks so much for visiting my blog and do let me know what you think about this collage. Is it too colorful or too dramatic? Have a nice weekend and do not forget to include God in your plans. **Kisses!**

Color Quickie...

Color Quickie... by ojomrs featuring army shirts

 

 

There are some days when even the most fearless and daring fashionista feels blue and not really in any mood to dress up and this is the time when the temptation comes to just throw on anything with the hope that no one sees you or recognizes you as you are up and about..**this happens!**

 

Well, for days or times like this, the best thing to do is throw in colorful accessories into an otherwise boring or muted outfit. This is the reason why I stocked up on colorful accessories in my wardrobe. They are not expensive items but are always available whenever I need them. In the collage above, the orange color accessories; the bag and belt jazz up this all black ensemble. More so, it is a very safe way of wearing orange as opposed to doing it the other way (wearing all orange) and looking like an over sized pumpkin.

 

 

It is "freeeeeezing cold" out and one of those days when I'm not inspired to dress up or take pictures. I'm presently curled up in bed under warm blankets with my kids and sipping a cup of hot cocoa. Hubby is not home so we're just chilling. My to-do list for the day includes reading some passages from my bible and doing some research on my school paper.

 

 

                             Thanks so much for reading and have a wonderful weekend.

Bright Sunny Day..

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and were able to spend time with family and good friends. As for me, the highlight of my weekends is when I get to go to Church on Sundays with my family and service today was so much fun.These pictures were taken a few days ago and though it was very sunny but it was freeeezing!

 

The pictures are not that great and I had second thoughts about sharing them on the blog but then changed my mind a few hours ago. Afterwards, the blog is a documentation of my life experience. So, it's okay to post pictures that are not that great too. Later in life when I become a professional blogger, I can share these pictures with people and tell them the importance of staying on course with their dreams and aspirations because things always get better when we are dedicated and committed to it...:)

I do not like to wear boots sometimes during the winter and in times like that, my patent heels become  my absolute must have. Their glossy finish makes them very easy to clean after each use and though they are super high (six inches heels) they actually have a good grip on snowy pavements and driveways.

I am wearing a grey knit turtle neck and a grey/black/white stripe jacket over black denim pants. The plum color bag was thrown in to add a punch of color to the entire assemble. Before I started my color makeover,

Victoria in the Snow

Hi beautiful people of blogs ville. I just wanted to sign in to share my outfit of the day with you. I titled this post "Victoria in the Snow" because I am wearing this off-white sweater dress and boots from Victoriassecret and I just realized that most of the items in my closet are actually from Victoriassecret. I do not know if I am the only one that think so but they actually have very cute sweater dresses and sweaters and their shoes are super cute too.

Since the weather is so so cold, I accessorized with a scarf and a hat and riding boots and tights and a jacket and, and, and....:) Layers ladies! That is what the Winter is all about especially when it's so so cold like it is here in Minnesota. It was actually snowing too as I took these pictures and I love the way the snow flakes blew across my face.

I hope you all are having a nice week and keeping warm if you are in the Four-Season areas. Like I always say, do not forget to include God in your plans this weekend.

Its double ties..

So, I titled this post "double ties" because I'm wearing two outfits with ties; my tan color sweater dress I purchased from Victoriassecret a couple of years ago and this cute tan leather trench coat that is also an old purchase from Chadwicks.

Since both items are of the same color tone, I decided to add a pop of color with this red boots

The Race goes on..

So it's 2013 just in case there are some people out there who have been living under the rocks but this statement is not meant to be funny. It's just my own way of saying that life goes on along with all dreams and aspirations. I thank God for everyone who made it to this new year and if you are reading my blog at this time; I thank God for you and want to tell you that God loves you dearly!


As for me, my love for God and family endures and also my love for fashion. So far, I have succeeded in incorporating a lot of colorful pieces into my wardrobe and I'm going to start working on my hair, nails and make-up next. I'll lift my shopping ban some time this year when I'm done rotating all the clothes in my closet with the goal of keeping what I need and giving out the ones I don't need that someone else can find useful. "Go Green everyone!!"..:)

 

I have also decided to start giving credits to the stores where my clothes came from and if I do not remember where something was purchased I would just say "random" or from "my closet.com." I do remember I had said earlier in one of my posts that I do not feel it was necessary to list purchase information and it was mostly because I did not remember where some of my items were purchased because I have not bought new items in a long time and moreover, I thought that the stores were not compensating me for the advert anyways...:) However, I discovered that when I visit other fashion blogs, I'm always interested to know where particular pieces that I like came from. Therefore, I guess a blog is not really a fashion blog unless it has these information.

So, I am wearing the only leather skirt I own which I purchased from Old Navy a while back.

Formal, Casual plus vintage

Hi lovely people of blogs ville, I hope you enjoyed your weekend and are charged up for the new week. I'm just about to go to bed but decided to do a quick post of my Sunday's outfit. I have been doing a lot of blogging lately and even though it's so much fun, I'm thinking of taking a break...:) We shall see about that...:)))

If you have read most posts in my blog, you will know by now that I am a Church girl that likes to post pictures of her Sunday outfits...:) First of all, I'll apologize for the poor quality of my pictures. I am yet to get a better camera but have learnt to be more patient with the editing tools and this has helped a bit.

My last post which I just posted a few minutes ago anyways...:) was all about putting this outfit together. this is my second choice outfit for today. I'll put on my first choice; my houndstooth jacket next week to Church if the weather gets warmer. I had to take off my winter jacket and gloves for this shoot because the weather is freeeeezzzing!
