Casual Friday/Rainbow Bright

TGIF everyone!

This morning  I woke up to a cloudy, dreary day.  To add further insult to injury, the weather reports are predicting that  Hurricane Sandy will make landfall early next week! UGH!  A cranky  Georgette is not a good Georgette (LOL!)  so wearing this vibrant outfit  was just what I needed to lift my spirits.  As you probably have noticed, I love color.  There is something about putting on a brilliant hue that  instantly makes me feel better. Instead of having a scowl on my face this morning, I was smiling.  Sure I got a few  “what the hell is she wearing ”  kind of stares on the train platform  but I didn’t care.  All I know is that I felt good and in the end that’s all that matters!

What are some of the ways you improve your mood?

Have a wonderful evening!

You Aint Nothin But A Hounddog

Happy Hump Day all!

Confession time, I didn’t know there was anything such as dogstooth.  I’m assuming its the  half-brother/sister of houndstooth being that the latter gets all the attention. Either way, when I saw this dogstooth pencil skirt on Simply Be’s website with 50% off, I had to make it mine.  Pairing the skirt with red seemed like a natural choice although  I could see myself wearing a cobalt blue with it in the future.   I wanted to add some  “edge” up my look so I wore my faux leather jacket from Kohls to “toughen” it up  (Me tough?! Ha! I still sleep with a night light! ). If the jacket looks familiar to you, I wore the green one here.  Lets just say, I’m slightly enamored with the jacket  🙂

I want to thank all of  you for your wonderful and encouraging  comments on my previous post “Change is Gonna Come”.  This might sound a little corny, but I feel closer to you ladies after reading your responses.  Again thank you for being the BEST readers in the world!!!

Are you a fan of dogs/houndstooth?

Have a great evening!

Fall Foliage

Happy Hump Day all!

Seeing the leaves turn is one of my favorite parts of Autumn. The warm hues are lush and bright especially in the afternoon sun. I’m fortunate to see this wonderful display of color everyday when I walk to the train station. My outfit today is inspired by changing leaves and their brilliant colors.

What is your favorite part of Fall?

Casual Friday/Pink Friday

TGIF everyone!

This is the fourth time I’ve posted an outfit wearing these pink cropped pants, so needless to say, I love them very much!   Before I packed them away for the Fall/Winter,  I wanted to give them one last hurrah.  What better day than  Friday to wear these bright, fun pants!  I added  a black & white  striped  sweater, black flats and a flowered necklace (my newest love!) to complete my look.  I must say I feel very Kate Spade-ish in this outfit!  I’m sad to see the pants go, but don’t worry they’ll be back!

Have a wonderful weekend!
