Readers Choice & The Green Dress

So, I'm done with my edition of "The Same Blue Dress". I've really enjoyed styling it in several different ways. Thanks to Lexy (Beauty Fash) for the inspiration! Below are pics of how I wore/styled the dress, each time. Now that I'm all done, what's YOUR favorite look??? If I had to decide, I would go with the denim shirt look. I was so comfortable that day. Plus, I wore my Dad's shirt and I LOVE wearing menswear from time to time---their blazers and shirts have a great structure. 

Moving on, I'd like to introduce you to my next dress series, "The Same Green Dress". Are you ready??? Scroll down to see how I styled my green dress, Day 1!!! You will see similar items form last week, but that's the whole point. LOL! I often remix items and I think its the smartest thing to do if you want to not only challenge your self, but also save time in the a.m. when getting dressed. These past couple days, I have saved A LOT of  time in the morning getting ready, thanks to this mini series/challenge. I wish I could do this everyday! 

Thanks in advance for the kind comments and encouraging words, and a HUGE XXOOO to my new followers. See that I have new blog buddies to talk to always puts a smile on my face ;-) I hope you all enjoy the pics...be blessed!!

PS I am subitting my green dress looks to The Pleated Poppy's,  What I Wore Wednesday and A Little Bit of Lacquer, Work it Wednesday!

The Blue Dress, Part II

Hey everybody---how are you?? I hope all is well on your end! For the next few posts, I am going to try something a little different. I've worn this blue dress before (see HERE) and I've recently discovered new ways of styling it. If you remember, I also have this dress in green (see HERE). So for the next few posts, you will see these two dresses styled in a few different ways! I remember when blogger Lexy did something like this a while back and I thought it was genius (see her blog, HERE)!

On this day, I wore my blue dress with an open button up, printed shirt. I've actually worn this shirt on the blog before as well (see HERE). I thought the open shirt would be a cute way to spice up my dress. I usually throw on my black blazer but I wanted to do more. Once I put on my accessories and shoes, it clicked for me! It added just enough sass ;-)

Enjoy the next few posts and let me know what you think of the different looks. Be blessed!

PS My apologies for the spot on a few pics---the sun was blazin' and my camera lens was sweating, LOL!

Pink Friday

Happy Friday & a big smile and hello to my new followers!! Thank SOOO much for following and commenting. It so great to have someone read/look at my daily fashions, thoughts and other "stuff". I get giddy when I see new followers, lol. As long as one person finds what I say/or wear interesting, my blogging is not in vain ;-)

Anywho, I am Glad to see the weekend come; it has been a long week. Blessed to see it thru, but happy to have a few days to chill. I've been wanting to wear my pink pants for quite sometime and I can happily say, i wore them this week to work. When I purchased them from the Goodwill a few months back (see HERE), my friends were skeptical of me getting them. But I was determined to make them work. Well, I did and I loved them! I got so many compliments that day. I also looked up on the net to see how other celebrities were wearing their colorful pants/denim. In a way, I guess you can say their outfits were inspiration. I paired it with my favorite Love, Cortnie clutch and a blazer. Hope you like! Be blessed and talk to you soon.

Hey friends!! Hope everyone is well. Sorry in advance for the pics, once again; I am hoping Santa brings me a battery for my Nikon D70 for Christmas ;-) In the mean time I am using my backup camera, my older Nikon Coolpix. Pics aren't coming off how I want but, I must keep posting!! LOL.

Anyway, this is just an outfit I put on last night when the babe and I hung out. The shirt was my grandfathers :-) As I have said before, I always LOVE wearing his clothes. I feel so close to him when I do. The brown cape I purchased in Greece is one of my favorite purchases .It can also be seen HERE. Lastly, I wore layered necklaces from F21. Funny because in my Santa Baby post, I posted a Love necklace that I wanted. I found this silver one hiding in my jewelery box last night; how awesome!! I already had one and didn't even know ;-)

Also, below is a drawing that was done by, The Cherry on Top, blogger. Its based on the outfit I wore HERE. Don't you just love it! I have seen other bloggers with their drawings and knew I had to have one. what talent! Click the picture to visit the page, or the blog name above.

Until next time, be blessed and enjoy the post!

Orange & Spots

Hey everyone :-) Hope you all stayed nice and warm today, seeing as how the temps were nice and chilly. I was happy that I was able to wear my orange pea coat from Old Navy today. It is one of my favorite Fall/Winter coats and the price was GREAT ($25.00).

Quick story behind the jacket: When I saw it on the sale rack last season, I knew I had to have it. When I got to the register, it rang regular price. After I explained to the lady I got it from the sale rack and that there were others there like it, she honored the mark down and bam! the jacket was about 50%. WINNING!! ;-)

The top I am wearing is the first time I'm wearing it. I showed the item here in a post a few months back. Pairing those pieces with my Fergie flats and favorite jeans, I was nice and cozy (and cute) today ;-)

Enjoy the look and take care! Thanks in advance for the comments :-)
