Mirror, Mirror on the Wall..

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, "what do I do when I'm having a bad hair day?" This is the question I asked and answered myself this morning as I got ready for church. I'm off to bed now. I had such a busy day and did not have time to edit all of my pictures showing my church outfit for the day. Have a wonderful day/night/week my friends and see you again soon.

Aquamarine in sync

 Hi everyone, I hope we are all having a great week so far. I have been a little busy with work and family obligations and have not had much time to visit my Blogsville friends. For all those who stopped by to say hi and to contribute to my last post, I say "thank-you." I'll be doing a lot of visiting in no time.

Has anyone ever had a hard time making decisions regarding colors of items they would like to purchase? We know black colors and neutrals look good on almost anyone but there are certain colors that go with individual skin tone I think?…:-). Well, in my color experiment, I came across this aquamarine blazer months ago and even though the color looked pretty and the quality great, I did pause for a minute before making the purchase. I was not sure if the color was going to look great on me or if I could style it to bring out its beauty. I wore it a couple of times then shoved it inside my closet. I stumbled on it a few days ago and decided to wear it to church last Sunday. I paired it with a pair of pants I purchased from Forever 21, threw on some matching accessories and Viola!!

Blazer: thrifted
Pants: Forever 21

The weather is so great in the twin cities today. We actually hit 70 degrees this afternoon and everyone is in high spirits. After going through such a dreadful winter, we sure have earned this gorgeous and beautiful weather we're enjoying today. Enjoy the rest of the week everyone and thanks so much for stopping by.


Scripture for the week:             1 Peter 2: 9

9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Inspiration in my Closet.

NEW IN...

 We are currently having a snow storm in the twin cities. Snow fall in April is not unusual in Minnesota but when it is a storm like the one we are having now, then it's serious business. I'm not complaining though. I give God thanks for both the good and the bad weather. He alone knows all things. He has promised that all things work out for good to them that believe.

Now, let's talk about my closet..:-). I recently added some fun pieces to my closet; the contrast stripe pencil skirt, the emerald green ankle pants, and the silk floral scarf  pictured above, all from Loft. These items are colorful, stylish and fun at the same time. It's exhilarating that I do not have a black, dull and boring closet anymore. Now, I just have to wait for the summer to get here so that I can mix and match.

Color is good, color is fun. God created color and he made all things beautiful.

Summer Shirts

Hi everyone, I hope the week has been great and we are all looking forward to the weekend with glee. It's already April; can you believe it! Well, April is supposed to be Spring time and we are supposed to have spring showers however, we're still dealing with snow falls here in Minnesota. We had some snow on Saturday and there is prediction of another storm by Friday. Hmmmm...**sigh**

 

Snow prediction or not; am not bothered by all that happens around me. My mind has already gone past spring to the summer...:-) I'm thinking of warm weather and ice-cream and shirt dresses...Yeah, "shirt dresses;" this is what this post is all about. Ladies' shirts have always been around but all of a sudden, there is a sudden buzz about them for this summer. I have always loved shirt dresses so this is a welcome trend. Above are two cute shirt dresses from the Victoriassecret website. And below are the cute body suit shirts which I absolutely love! I've got them in several colors and I wore the taupe color one in my post here. If you want to tuck in a shirt into a skirt or pants for the very formal look, you need one of these shirts. The addition of the lacy body suit to the shirt ensures that the shirt stays tucked in the whole time. **win!**

Okay, I got to go!...:-) Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your week.

Grey Tones and Test Drive

The weather is starting to warm up in the twin cities and we had a very beautiful weekend. I didn't have the time to put a colorful outfit together so I went into my default mode and threw this grey colored pieces together last minute. There was not much color at all and the blue and silver scarf I threw around my neck  just blended into the greys. I did have time to test drive a new hat I just purchased though...:-) If you read my earlier posts at the beginning of the year, I had indicated that I would love to get out of my comfort zone by adding some hats to my wardrobe. I have never been into hats except for those few times years ago when it was the trend to wear hats to weddings. I did purchase a couple of hats and fascinators then but never really used anyone for years after that. Recently, I purchased a couple of hats and this weekend, I had one on for a few hours. My kids thought it was cool and I might test drive it yet again...:-) My next mission would be to take my bag collection up a notch. I'm so into shoes as accessories and never really paid attention to my bags but with most of them all worn out and old now, I think it's time to take it up a notch. Have you recently purchased anything that you never thought would work well with your usual wardrobe but willing to give it a try?

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Dots n Red

 Hi Friends, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Mine was very quiet; I spent yesterday just lazing around the house eating and sleeping and then I went to church this morning. This is what I wore. The high waist pencil skirt has been in trend for a while along with the cropped top. Since I do not own any of these items, I had the idea to "fake" the trend and after going through my closet last night, this is what I came up with. The high waist pants I'm wearing is actually the maternity pants I bought from Target when I was pregnant. I just pulled the stretchy waist over my white and black polka dot  blouse to fake a cropped top look over high waist pants. It's a subtle nod to the current trend and I'm glad that I still get to put my maternity pants to use. I'll be styling it as a jumpsuit next...:-)

Shoe Lovin'

Sam Edelman Desiree Pumps

Hi Friends,  since the pointed toe shoe trend is still here and I only have a limited collection, I'm considering adding one or more pairs to my closet and this cute camel/black/white combination from shoe designer Sam Edelman caught my eye. I am one who always go for versatile items and the fact that this shoe can be worn or styled with different pieces is an A-plus. It's also affordable and would not break the bank. Remember style/fashion is about beauty and quality rather than cost. Have a blessed day.
