My Style Inspiration: The Style Climber

TGIF everyone!

Today I am starting a new feature called “My Style Inspiration” to showcase bloggers that inspire me with their unique sense of style and beauty. Ever since I came across Candace’s blog The Style Climber, I’ve been hooked because of her classy and effortlessly chic style. Candace flaunts her curves in vibrant colors and in rich print (which you know I love!). Her wonderful eye for clothes makes a her great thrifter. She can take a vintage shirt and pair it in such a way you would never know it’s from another era. Candace’s confidence , beauty and sophistication shines through in every post , this is why she is my style inspiration.

Check out Canadce’s blog The Style Climber and show her some love!

Who is your style inspiration?

Have a wonderful weekend!

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!

Print for You!

Happy Hump Day all!

So about two weeks ago, I bought my first pair of printed jeans. At first I was SO scared to buy them because a) I’m 40 b) aren’t printed jeans for young gals? c) my booty! Despite my misgivings, I tried them on anyway and you know the rest of the story! We shouldn’t allow concerns about age and others perceptions to stop us from having fun with fashion. You should have a pair of sexy jeans for date night or hanging with the girls. Printed jeans can be worn as casually as colored ones. Its all about how you style it!

So who is gonna join me and get a pair of printed jeans?!

Have a wonderful evening!
