Palm Prints





Hi Friends, this is the outfit I blogged about here. I'm usually not into trends because I don't care...:-). However, I made a small effort to see if I would be able to wear last season's prints; palm prints; and this is what I came up with. I never really liked the prints initially because I thought palm prints should only be reserved for beach wear then I found this skirt on sale at J. C. Penny in my favorite color green and in a very modest length and so suitable for church; yes, every outfit more or less has to pass the church test...:-). I decided to add a punch of color with my old Aldo bag. I must say the outfit looks a bit matronly but I tried to make it work. Next time, I'll just wear a tee on top, slip on some wedges and head out to the beach in it. I'm glad that palm prints didn't catch on that well to so many people. So, let's say bye-bye to these prints and say "Yay!" to animal prints which has always been my favorite.

Peacock Prints on my feet





I am so blessed and thankful to God for the beautiful weather we are having in Minnesota right now. It is usually cold at this time of the year but somehow, it still feels like summer. It only gets cold in the mornings and evenings and I mean "bearably cold." People are just running around with joy in their usual summer clothes talking about how blessed we are.

It was one of such evenings a few days ago that I wore this simple outfit. I had my cardigan on hand but didn't really need it. What I needed was my peacock print shoes!...:-). Yeah, these shoes have been in the closet for over a year without being worn until I strutted in them in this outfit. It's BCBG d'orsay pumps which are already sold out in this color/print. You can see it upclose in this previous Post here.



 











Shirt Dress: Nine West via T. J. Maxx (old)
Cardigan: Target
Pants: Deb shop
Shoes: BCBG via DSW





I hope everyone is enjoying great weather just like me. Another reason I'm excited is because my almost ten month old son has started taking his first steps and we are all so excited. I know he is going to be running around the house by his one year birthday which is just around the corner. So, there is another reason to be thankful. Come to think of it, the Thanksgiving holiday is just around the corner. Hmmmm....

Thanks so much for stopping by

Ten bucks for One




                                                            Walmart Jewelry Haul













Hi Friends, I promised to do a post on the jewelry I purchased at Walmart during the summer and I finally got to it. I took the pictures with my iPhone and could only do limited editing so the lighting/exposure is not that great but I'm sure they are good enough for you to see the quality.  The statement necklaces are ten dollars a piece and they really look pretty for that price. The quality of the necklaces are also very good and they can be compared to statement necklaces from other reputable stores like J. Crew. You can check them out online or head out to your closest Walmart store.

This Fall season  looks like its going to be colorful, chic and stylish for most people and that's good. The stores are already full of those fun ponchos, capes and cute biker jackets. My prayer too is that we have a safe, warm and peaceful fall season. I'm looking forward to all those wonderful holidays coming up and most especially to my birthday which is on Halloween. I love my birthday but getting older and being busy with family and work makes me forget sometimes until the day is finally here. I'm looking forward to my day with joy with lots of things being crossed off my wish list but Halloween costumes is certainly not part of the deal. All the best in the new week.
