Summer Hold Over

Happy Monday all! Hope you had a great weekend and turned those clocks back!

Like almost everybody I try to the get the most wear out of my clothing. Some of myclothes are interchangeable from season to season like this Adrianna Papell dress I’m wearing today. I first wore it in the Spring but always felt that the dress was more for the Fall. So when the weather cooled down I couldn’t wait to slap on some black tights and ankle boots with this dress. Instead of a black cardigan or blazer I opted for my faux leather Kohl’s jacket. As you can see I’m getting ALOT of usage out this jacket! Honestly I wear it about 3 times a week. The jacket has been my go to instead of wearing a black blazer or cardigan. I like how it adds just a little edge to my outfit.

How do you get the most wear out of your clothes?

Have a great evening!

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!

Here’s to Love!

Happy Labor Day/Monday everyone!

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of attending my friend Tawanda’s wedding. Tawanda is one of my closest and dearest friends. My heart swelled with happiness seeing her walk down the aisle. Tawanda looked so beautiful and radiant! I am so happy she found the her soul mate and wish them a lifetime of love!

Have a wonderful day!!!
