Casual Friday: Denim on Denim

TGIF all!

Denim on denim is one trend that looks good on others but not so much on me.   Instead of focusing on pairing jeans and a denim shirt, I shifted my focus to other denim separates that could be worn together.    While at the People Style Watch x Tanger Outlet shopping event last week I found a cool denim bomber jacket at the Gap Outlet and a cropped chambray jumpsuit from Old Navy that go together perfectly!  Not only was I comfortable,  I finally like I looked good rocking denim on denim.

Next time you want to wear denim or denim, mix it up a bit.  Try a jean pencil skirt and a off the shoulder denim top or  pair white crop  jeans and a denim button up for a fresh take on the trend.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Spring Forward With JTV

Happy Monday all!

I am a firm believer that accessories can transform an ordinary outfit into something special.  There was a time when I didn’t wear accessories but now you can’t catch me leaving the house without them! So when Jewelry Television (JTV)  approached me regarding their necklaces for Spring I jumped on it.  This Spring I’m looking for  necklaces that are only are versatile but can elevate a simple outfit.  I was immediately drawn to this gold medallion pendant necklace because it fit exactly I was looking for.  It was definitely a departure from the showy statement pieces I usually wear.  While it isn’t a statement necklace, it can add a subtle glam to any outfit . When I got it, I knew it would go well with this  GORGEOUS kimono jacket from ModaMix.  Combined with necklace I was able to elevate my casual look  into a “boho” inspired outfit!

If you like the necklace as much as I do, you might just be in luck!  JTV has kindly provided me with an additional necklace to give away to one lucky reader! To enter the giveaway leave a comment (along  with an email address you can be reached at) detailing how you would wear the necklace and follow JTV Instagram page (@JTV).  The giveaway ends on Friday, March 18th and the winner will be picked and notified on Saturday. Until then check out JTV Spring necklace selection here!

Have a wonderful day!

The 3 Stages of Bare

Happy Monday all!

On Sunday, Philly was blessed (again) with 60+ degree temps so I had to break out my ankles for the occasion. I know this may sound corny but I have warmer temps broken up into categories.  I call them the 3 Stages of Bare (LOL).  Bare ankle season is when temps are in the 60s which are  mild enough for bare ankles, but not for bare legs.  Bare leg season is when temps are above 70 but not warm enough for bare feet.  Bare feet season (aka Sandal Season)  is when temps are above 75 degrees.  My system helps me figure out what to wear when the weather fluctuates between mild and chilly. Unfortunately it’s supposed to snow on Thursday  so no bare anything.  Bummer!

Have a wonderful day!

Casual Friday: Over It

TGIF all!

To say I’m over Winter is an understatement.  I find myself struggling not to wear black all the time but it’s a losing battle.  So as the saying goes, “if you cant beat them, join them”.  Until Spring arrives, I’ve decided to try to be creative with wearing black.  I added this Eloquii vest to elevate my turtleneck and jeans.  I wear this combo at least twice a week so it needed a lift.   The vest I’m wearing is actually a jacket with removable sleeves that I wear under my down coat for added warmth. Since I got the jacket its become my go to when I need to uplift my black outfits.  I’m eagerly counting the days to Spring and no more black! LOL

Have a wonderful weekend!

Snow Daze

Happy Monday all!

For the first time in a while, the forecasters got it right!  Winter Storm Jonas has pretty much crippled the entire East Coast.  My family in NYC got nearly 30 inches of snow and here in Philadelphia  we got  22.5 inches.  Due to the city being completely incompetent about plowing  secondary streets, my neighborhood is still trapped under those 22 inches.  Without the plows, driving is nearly impossible.  Since I have to dig my car out, why not show off my glamorous outfit! LOL

Have a wonderful day!
