As you know, I love color blocking. During the Summer it was easy to do but now that Fall is upon us, I was facing a small dilemma…how do I color block in the Fall? When I think of Fall, I think of earthy colors like browns and oranges. Not wanting to slip back into the habit of wearing dark colors all the time, I had to find a solution. While flipping through my latest issue of People Style Watch, I solved my dilemma. The emergence of jewel tones have come to my rescue! After fishing through my closet, I came up with this color combo. Now I can continue to color block all season long!
Since today is the last day of summer, I wanted to say goodbye by wearing a fun, colorful outfit. This summer I took my love for color to new heights and wore combinations I wouldn’t have dared to try last year. I was bolder and more creative with my clothing choices. Heck I even posted a picture of myself in a bathing suit !
Now that Fall is finally here , I wanted to take a look back at my favorite Summer outfits. These outfits were special to me because I have never been this colorful and happy wearing Summer clothes! I used to dread Summer dressing but now I look forward to next year and more fashion fun!
What was your favorite outfit you wore this Summer?
Today is my first day back at work after being on vacation for a week. I always struggle with transitioning back into work mode after a great vacation . I walk around the office pouting and procrastinate going through email from the previous week. I sit at my desk and daydream about my vacation and begin plotting my next getaway.
Getting up this morning was a small feat because I wanted to stay in bed so badly! I knew if called out I would only be delaying the inevitable. So I forced myself to ignore the urge to call out and headed into the office. I kept my outfit simple by pairing my yellow pencil skirt with my newly acquired black & white striped top. Ive always liked the combo of yellow and black together. I figured a pop of color would help lift my back to work blues.
How do you get back into “work mode” after a vacation?
This is what I wore on Saturday. I knew I was going to out for the entire day (I didn’t get home until after 12am!) so I wanted to be comfortable yet chic. I’m wearing a Talbots Woman pencil skirt in my favorite color (red), Old Navy denim shirt and sliver jewelry. I wore flat thong sandals and I’m so glad I did! If you plan to attend next year, leave the heels at home!
Shout out to my nephew who woke up at 7:00am to take my picture!
After a long day of conferencing, it was time to let our hair hang down and have a good time! BlogHer had its first fashion show featuring many well-known bloggers gorgeously dressed. Everyone looked amazing and strutted their stuff down the runway. The show was inclusive featuring women of different sizes, races and abilities.
I also got to take a picture with a very well known (well at least to your kids!) celebrity! He was very warm and fuzzy!
Chillin with the Lorax! LOL
I had to take a picture of Danyelle . Her outfit was so colorful and fun. Plus she was so sweet when I asked to take her picture.
For me the highlight of the day was meeting fabulous women from various parts of the country. I was fortunate to have met Michelle , Karla , Erica and Lea (a fellow SUNY Binghamton alumna). Not only were these ladies beautiful but they were funny as hell! They kept me laughing all night long, making my conference experience even better!
Although I was exhausted when I made it back to my sister’s house, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Blogher2013 is going to be in Chicago next July, will I see you there?
