Be Electric!

Happy Monday all!  

Winter has come early for most of us here in States. In my neck of the woods, it has already snowed three times in the past week.  Needless to say, I’m not a happy camper. Shoveling is NOT sexy! So to combat the frigid cold, I wanted to wear something super bright today to warm my spirit.  While it’s natural to gravitate towards wearing dark colors during the colder months, try adding  pops of color to brighten up your Winter outfits.   Before you know it, we’ll be welcoming warm Spring days!

How do you like to brighten up your Winter outfits?

Have a wonderful day!

Casual Friday: Dressed Up Denim

TGIF all!

I’m giving my pencil skirts a break and trying out new silhouettes to keep things fresh.  Sometimes I get stuck and need to branch out so I decided to dress up my full denim skirt today.  I kept things simple with my denim on denim ensemble and added some leopard print for a nice contrast.  This outfit shows you can wear denim to work and still look appropriate for the office.

Are you a fan of denim on denim?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Winter White

Happy Hump Day all!

I’ve always liked winter white on other people but never considered wearing it for myself.  After seeing the lovely LuAnne from Weesha’s World rock this skirt, I decided to take the plunge and get it in cream. The skirt is from ASOS main range (aka “straight size”) but the size 14 band has so much stretch it comfortably fits my size 18 waist.  Initially I was skeptical wearing a full skirt but all of those concerns went out of the window when I put it on.  Sometimes you just gotta put yourself out there and see if something will work.  I’m glad I decided to go outside my comfort zone and get the skirt. 

Would you wear winter white?

P.S. I just found out the skirt now comes in FIVE colors, so if cream isn’t for you I’m sure there are other colors that you’ll like!

Have a wonderful day!

Shining Through

Happy Hump Day all!

Sorry I’ve been a little MIA these past two weeks.  I’ve been going through some personal issues that honestly I had been ignoring for years. It’s very easy to put up a facade of being okay when things are not okay. What I’ve learned over  the past couple of weeks is that taking care of oneself emotionally is just as important as taking care of yourself physically.  You can’t ignore one and concentrate on the other, you have to take care of the whole package.  At this point in my life I’m learning how to take care of the whole package. Lemme tell ya it aint easy but I’m determined to work through my “stuff” with the appropriate supports.  I’m blessed with a wonderful support system that surrounds me and accepts me for who I am which makes  my journey  a little easier.

With all that said, blogging is something I love doing and will continue to do so.  Blogging has given me so much and to abandon it is not an option.  I will do my best to keep my blogging schedule up but if I slip here and there, dont be alarmed…Im not going anywhere!

Have a wonderful day!

Party Time!

Happy Monday all!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday weekend! I spent Thanksgiving with my family in New York and we had such a good time hanging out together.  I haven’t been feeling myself lately so going home was the best thing for me.  Feeling their love and acceptance definitely lifted my spirits.

Now that the holiday party season is upon us, figuring out  what to wear can be somewhat stressful.   May I suggest the classic LBD (little black dress)  for your party needs?   The LBD is a classic wardrobe staple that can be worn to any holiday soiree on your calendar.

Below are a sample of some of my favorite LBDs of the season.

Which one do you like?

Have a wonderful evening!
