Leopard Prints Trend: Pants and Loafers and a touch of red

*Look adapted from Twitter*

Leopard Prints is such a huge trend this Fall and this look featuring leopard prints pants and pointed loafers is a simple and classy way to wear the trend. As the temperature start to drop and those dresses and skirts are being put away, the leopard prints pants can be an addition or substitution in our wardrobe. When the temperature drops even further, the loafers can be switched out for boots and if you still want to add some color to your outfit while keeping warm, think red sock boots because sock boots are still a huge trend this fall.

Work Wear: wearing White after Labor Day

Happy Tuesday Friends; it's a short work week for those of us that reside in the United States. I hope you had a fun Labor Day holiday yesterday. So, we are back to work today and the kids are back to school. It was the first day of school for my kids today and I was glad to send them off with prayers and thanksgiving. It's the best thing parents can do for their kids apart from providing them with all their needs; praying for them. I pray for my kids before they start a new school year for God to protect and guide them and help them make the right decisions at all times. The prayer has to continue too; not just a one day thing 😀 Okay, back to "Mommy Fashion;"what do you wear to work the day after Labor Day holiday which is the official end of summer? What do you say about the ongoing debate of not wearing white after Labor day? It's a rule that has been debunked long time ago as most people wear whites even well into the winter; winter whites anyone? The ongoing debate about not wearing whites after labor day by Fashion bloggers is just a fun debate at this time of the year; just something to talk about; so let's leave that old lady's tale alone 😊

Happy Labor Day Friends 😀 If you live in the United States, you know today is a national holiday and the official last day of summer. Being a holiday, it is the perfect day to prepare for the upcoming Fall season. If your preparation involves going on a last minute vacation, going on a road trip, going to State Fairs or just hanging around enjoying a picnic or barbecue, the one accessory that you should think of adding to your closet is the waist bag. This is a fashion accessory that was very popular in the eighties and while Fashionistas were happy to lay it to rest for decades, its sudden resurgence in the recent season, has many excited. It was popularly known as the "Fanny Pack" in previous years and now it has gained other fancy names like "Waist Bag" and "Belt bag." While I have a "Love-Hate" relationship with this trend, I admit it does add a cool interest to an outfit. Also, designers have started making versatile bags that you can wear as a cross body bag and convert to a waist bag when you need to. Let's hope this trend hangs around for a while. Below are my selections of affordable, colorful fanny packs to fit any budget.

                                                              ANIMAL PRINTS

                            

Animal prints are out in full force this fall in different shades and in different styles; think zebra prints like we see in this Asos dress here and unusual shade like this pink leopard prints dress here. The different kind of prints; leopard, cheetah, zebra and the unusual colors (shade) is the twist to the trend this year. All leopard prints accessories are welcome too; belts, scarfs, bags and shoes. The styling options are endless too; mix leopard prints with polka dots for mixed print styling or style a leopard print cardigan or blazer with denim. Above is my Fall Leopard prints wish list. Happy viewing, shopping and styling.

Polka dots blouse + High waist pants

Are we tired of the polka dots trend yet? I don't think so. This trend is going right through fall and even if goes away, it will show up again as it has done in previous years. This is the reason why I have so many polka dots pieces in my closet. I wore this blouse to church weeks ago and it is similar to the one I wore here, just a different color. For this look, I paired it with a black color high waist paints which is.....*shhhh* actually a maternity pant. Yup! It is one of my maternity pants I got from Target years ago that I converted to a high waist pants and I didn't even have to do any alterations to it. I completed the look with a black blazer and white pair of sandals; as simple as can be. Don't you love it when you are able to wear old pieces from your closet? Thank you so much of stopping by here.

How I style one shoulder tops

Happy Wednesday Friends; I hope the week is going great. It's almost Friday; Woot! 😁 This post is about overcoming personal insecurities when it comes to dressing up. Most women like me have one or two things about their bodies that they are insecure about and for me, it's my neck and fat arms...Lol 😂 This does not stop me from wearing off-shoulder tops or sleeveless tops though. I wear my looks with confidence; fat arms and all and you should too. I'm sharing this look I wore to Church weeks ago for our Wednesday mid-week service; a white one shoulder top over a red midi skirt. 

Shopping for Clear Bags

Now that summer is gradually coming to an end, it is time to do some closet editing. How about we start by switching out summer accessories before piling on Fall layers. I know clear bags or PVC bags or transparent bags as they are called have been around all summer but it is not going anywhere anytime soon. It is a style of bag that is going to trend right through the Fall and Winter season. How appropriate too; after all, it would be the most functional bag to have on snowy, wet days. In an earlier post here, I talked about doing another post to share shopping information about any affordable clear bags I could find. I finally found very good quality clear bags on the Shein Website. Just compare spending $195 on this STAUD PVC clear bag to spending $13 on this Shein clear bag. It is obvious that one is a designer luxury piece and the other is not but hey! trends come and go and there is no need splurging on a piece that might go out of style after a season. I checked out the selections available on Shein and ordered a few because they are so, so affordable and I can really tell you that the quality of the bags are great for the price; (that is, the price matches the quality) because I got my orders already. This is the first time I shopped at this site and I intend to go back to buy one or two clothing pieces in order to check out the sizing and quality. If you are still interested in shopping for clear bags, check out the site here.

Stripped top + White oversized denim

Happy Monday Friends 😀 We are almost at the end of summer (how sad) I've been busy enjoying the last days of summer with the kids and we just got back from our last family get-away for the summer and I'm now trying to get the kids ready for their first day of school which is after the Labor day holiday. Labor day is actually the unofficial last day of summer and they say no white outfit after the Labor day holiday and I say; "I don't care! haha! 😂 We all know those rules don't work anymore. Anyway, I wore this outfit weeks ago and just decided to blog it real quick this morning. I got this JCrew off the shoulder top last year and it actually had about one inch straps attached to the neckline which I cut off. The reason I cut them off was because I found them annoying whenever I tried to put on the top like putting my hands in the wrong hole and then finally getting it right and the straps falling off my shoulders over and over...have you ever experienced that with some off shoulder tops? 😜

BEAUTY Graphic Tee + Yellow Pants

Happy Friday Friends 😀 As the week rolls by fast to the weekend, it reminds me that we are getting closer to winter day by day. I don't mind fall season because the weather and the fashion is just right but the cold winter days and heavy jackets do not get me excited right now 😀 Anyway, I'll do my best to enjoy this summer while it lasts although it does get too hot and humid mot times which is the reason I do not wear this white graphic tee a lot. It is my absolute favorite tee. Aside from the fact that it is very soft and comfy, it has my name inscribed on it; yes...B-E-A-U-T-Y and in very beautiful graphics too. I got the tee from my now turned instagram friend Brenda who does a lot of branding on clothes and fashion accessories. She is so creative and talented and she is a Christian woman too and a "Mommypreneur" (entrepreneur) I got a couple other tees from her that are just as chic as this one.

Polka dots Style: Red + White Eshakti Dress

Happy Thursday Everyone. I hope everyone is having a great summer. I don't know how long the polka dots trend would be here for; from the look of it, the trend is here to stay. I'm sharing this look I wore Sundays ago to Church featuring this red and white polka dot dress from Eshakti. I got the dress two or three summers ago and have worn it several times since and just when I thought it was time to give it a break, the polka dots trend started again this summer and I am here for it...😀 I have always loved the prints and have lot's of polka dots pieces in my closet so this trend is just one more reason to continue to shop my closet.
