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!

Fall Foliage

Happy Hump Day all!

Seeing the leaves turn is one of my favorite parts of Autumn. The warm hues are lush and bright especially in the afternoon sun. I’m fortunate to see this wonderful display of color everyday when I walk to the train station. My outfit today is inspired by changing leaves and their brilliant colors.

What is your favorite part of Fall?

Have a wonderful evening!

Happy Hump Day all!

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!

What jewel tones do you want to try?

Have a wonderful evening!

Walking on the Wild Side

Happy Hump Day all!

I have a confession to make… I’m obsessed with leopard print!   From shoes to skirs to sweaters, you name it I got it!  I know this  print can be scary for some but I’m here to tell you there’s  nothing to fear!  The items below can easily be added into your wardrobe.   You can wear leopard print from the supermarket to the office, it’s all about how you incorporate it.  Try mixing a leopard print top with red, black or cobalt blue jeans. Add a cardigan to a black dress or wear a trench with your jeans and t-shirt to instantly update your look.  If you’re looking to try something new this fall,  give leopard print a whirl!   

Have a wonderful day!

Chillin in the OC

Happy Saturday everyone! Hope your weekend is going great so far.

Vacationing in Ocean City, MD with my friends is one of the highlights of my summer. We spend  our days hanging out at the beach, soaking up sun at the pool and strolling on  the boardwalk eating funnel cake.  It’s a welcomed break from work and the seriousness of life. Plus it gives me the opportunity to reconnect with my friends and have a great time. I’m always sad when it ends but I look forward to doing it all over again next year!

Have a wonderful evening!

Me and my BFF of over 20 years!
