Take 1...Take 2...

Take 1... I wore this to have coffee with friends and run errands in the morning. 
I did a casual leather jacket and flats, which I changed for work in the afternoon.

Take 2... I changed out the leather jacket for a blazer, the flats for heels, and added some accessories to give it a dressier feel for work.

polka dots and fur

I want to wear this dress every day for a few reasons...it's knit, therefore it's super comfy, I love anything with polka dots, and I could find about 200 different ways to wear it. Ok, maybe not 200 but definitely 20. 
Thanks for popping by and have a happy Wednesday!

bold stripes and cozy prints

Again, utilizing my summer dress in the winter by adding a sweater, leggings and boots. Not sure that I like the "tutu" effect I got by wearing a longer sweater. I may or may not be too old for it. Oh well, use the idea on your girls, or not. Either way, thanks for stopping by!

50 shades of sequins

An outfit I wore this week to co-host 50 Shades of Sequins, a women's group at NewPointe Community Church where we have fun, connect with other women and grow in our walks with Jesus. We would love to have you join us.

I had bought this dress for the Holidays but when sequins are the theme why not dress the part? I think sometimes we should dress in sequins just because we feel like it. After all, we are to shine like stars so why not wear them.

What do you think; should we keep our sequins for special occasions or wear them whenever we feel like it?

there are rules to breaking rules


If you have ever asked me "how do I know what boots to wear with what tights/leggings/pants" you know my response generally is "match your tights/leggings/pants to your boots, it will give you a longer leg line and it's thought process free".
Well, rules are meant to be broken, right?! Like a store associate and I were discussing recently; there are rules to breaking rules. In this case I chose to wear black skinny pants with tan boots. Why? Mostly because I wanted to but it also works since I have shades of tan in my tee and scarf. 
I rarely do this since I carry my weight in my tush and hips and a "non-matching" combination can tend to emphasize this. What do you think? Do you prefer matching combinations?

summer dress in the winter


A simple outfit of a basic gray sweatshirt worn over a summer dress. Adding a scarf, leggings and boots transforms it into a comfy winter outfit.
Another reason I love dresses; you can wear most of them all year by adding layers. What about you; do you transition your dresses through different seasons?
