Casual Friday/Sho Nuff!

TGIF all!

I was feeling rather “Foxy Brown”-ish in my black turtle neck, leopard print skirt and faux leather jacket today. I was born in 1972 so I guess I unconsciously channeled my birth era in my outfit! It also gave me the opportunity to wear my early Christmas gift from Tamera (the wonderful woman who takes my blog pictures!). I love my new chunky gold bead necklace! It was the perfect accessory for this outfit. Thank you Tamera!

On a sad note, my heart and prayers go out the the victims and their families in Newtown,CT. This is a horrible tragedy and I pray that God embraces them in this time of indescribable grief.

Everyday Glam

Happy Monday all!

Now that  the holiday season is pretty much here, all kinds of  glamorous party wear is being offered.  But did you know that  it’s not just for cocktail and formal parties? You can add some  glam to your work outfit with just a few tweaks.  Try wearing a sequin tank underneath a cardigan.  Pair your jacquard pants with a button up and flats.  Or if that’s not your cup of tea, how about that dress hanging in your closet with the beading around the neck or hem ?  By adding a cardigan or blazer you can transform it  into a work appropriate outfit!  That is what I did to this fabulously beaded eShakti dress.   Plus if you have an after work holiday dinner or party,  lose the cardigan and add some heels for the perfect after hours ensemble.

How do you do to add glam to your everyday look?

Have a wonderful evening!

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.

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!

Happy Hump Day!

Here are  few extra favorite  outfits I completely forgot about in Monday’s post.  To be honest I’ve been in a kinda style rut lately but I promise to get back into the groove of things by Friday’s post.

Have an awesome day!
