one more way to style denim on denim

Happy Tuesday everyone 😆 I hope the week started off great for you; mine has been beautiful so far. This is a quick post to show another way the denim on denim trend can be styled. I admit it is somewhat an outdated trend or let's just say it is a trend that never gets out of style but rather just stays in the background to be picked up anytime. So, I was styling this pastel look for the blog and I got out this denim pumps I have not worn in a while. I paired it with this color block tan sweater that I purchased from Loft a while back and ankle denim pants. the first choice would have been to pair tan color pumps with this outfit but the denim pumps added some interest to it. if you are tired of the

Yellow shorts suit + Polka dots

Happy Monday Friends; I hope you had a great Mother's day celebration. Mine was beautiful with lots of love and presents 😉 Hubs got me a cute designer bag and it is actually the second one I am getting from him so it looks like someone is trying to turn me into a "Bag Lady" hehehe 😆 The straw bag I'm carrying in this pic was gifted to me by my older Sis. over 8 years ago when straw bags were not even a thing and I am glad I took good care of it. It will certainly be in constant rotation this spring and summer. The short suit I have on here are separates and you can tell from the pictures that they are different shades. This is actually the way I like to style my suits and it's quite affordable for me too. I got the blazer from a thrift store for about $7 years ago and got the shorts from JCrew clearance sale for about $9 dollars a while back so you can see that this suit is less than $20. The

Vacation style: Pink knit dress + Denim Jacket

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Saturday Friends; so what are you up to? Are you ready for a vacation yet? I know I am but since I do not have one planned out yet, I'll be enjoying my lovely "staycation" this weekend. This casual outfit is exactly what I would love to wear for the perfect trip; whether by road or by air. The weather was a bit chilly yesterday when I wore this pink dress so the mock turtle neck was just right as it would be if  I was flying first class to Cancun; haha! 😂  Okay, day dreaming aside...

Floral dress + Tulle

Happy Thursday 😆 Mother's day is around the corner and it's that time of the year again for mothers to get that special attention that they actually deserve every single day because of all that they do. Since today is Thursday, I'm doing a throwback Thursday look to this dress I wore last year for Father's day! haha!! 😝 Yeah, I said Father's day. One of my friends had a surprise birthday party for her husband on Father's day last year and this is what I wore; this floral and tulle midi dress. The dress is a dupe or more affordable version of this MARCHESA dress here and I loved it so much when I saw it online that I bought it in two colors. I would be wearing the second dress this upcoming Mother's day and will do a blog post on it too. This is the navy blue version of the dress. Can you guess what the color of the other dress is?


You see, I got my Mothers' day dress since last year because the site had a sale and I wanted to get the most bargain and that is really what Mothers do all the time. We try to get the most discounts to help our hubbies and Families get the best in life. We are up early taking care of the kids and our various households. Even those ladies that are single, choose to be single. not yet married....are still strong women doing the most they can in the role that God has bestowed on them as women. Please, take a minute to pause and take care of yourself Ladies. And a very big  "Happy Mothers' day" to you all.

Spring trend: Pastels

So, "Pastels" is a huge trend this spring and just to refresh our memory; Wikipedia defines Pastels as; "Colors that are desaturated or washed out and lacking strong chromatic content. They are usually very soft and include almost all neutral colors, pink, baby blues and light blues, mauve, lilac, light browns, khakis, yellow, creams..." you get the idea. To tell you the truth, the pastels rave is so big this season with stylists putting their different twists on it and I had to google it for myself to make sure I really got it right;  then I went in my closet and did some editing and this is the first of the pastel outfits I am styling for spring here on the blog.

Spring Outfit inspiration

                                  Mustard color Sleeveless Coat
                                     How to style...

I promise this would be my last cold weather outfit inspiration on here for this season; haha! 😅  It is all about transition outfits for me presently. This is the right time to get out all the sleeveless coats, vests, shirt dresses, dusters, kimonos...just name it. Personally, I would not jump straight from winter apparel to spring apparel just like that. I have got to prepare my body and soul to slowly adjust to the change in temperature and/or weather. This sleeveless mustard color coat here is a chic piece to update and or refresh any spring

Grey maxi skirt + black cowl neck Sweater

 Happy Wednesday everyone 😆 It's supposed to be spring, right? I know you would be surprised to see boots and a sweater on a fashion blog at this time of the year but hey, I live in Minnesota or where we fondly call "Minne-snow-ta" because of our harsh and long winter. So, while the most of the U.S. has been celebrating and enjoying spring for a while, we just left our winter behind us days ago. Presently, it's starting to warm up but still gets a little cold in

Shoe Lovin' - Lilac Pumps

 

Lilac color is trending this spring and clothes, accessories and even beauty products are sporting this color. We know pastels are generally popular in the spring time but lilac is just in a special class of its own this season. I do not own a pair yet but if I were to get into the lilac shoe trend, I would definitely purchase a pair that is of good quality but not so expensive. You never know; the trend might not extend into the summer and if you buy an expensive pair, it would just lay waste in your closet. In my opinion, such a waste is not acceptable.
