Summer Hold Over Pt. 2

Happy Hump Day all!

In keeping with my promise to re-purpose some of my Summer clothes, I decided to wear this yellow skirt from Eloquii today. During the Summer I got a lot of wear out of this skirt primarily because I love yellow. Lately I’ve been abandoning the traditional Fall/Winter hues for more bright, fun colors. I chose my teal cowl neck sweater with the skirt to punch up the color combination. I added a yellow skinny belt to reduce the bulkiness of the sweater and give the outfit a more pulled together look. Can I digress for a moment to say how much I love Eloquii’s adjustable belts! Belts are often a crap shoot for me because they are either too short or too long. Their adjustable belts (I have more than one!) lets me determine how much belt I need. These belts have saved my outfit on many occasions!

My outfit is light on accessories because I don’t know what kind of necklace to wear with cowl necks. I feel like a long necklace would get swallowed up by the cowl. If anyone has any suggestions on what necklace to wear please feel free to share.

How are re-purposing your Summer clothes for Fall/Winter?

Have a great evening!

Summer Rewind

Happy Monday all!

Now that Fall is finally here , I wanted to take a look back at my favorite Summer outfits. These outfits were special to me because I have never been this colorful and happy wearing Summer clothes! I used to dread Summer dressing but now I look forward to next year and more fashion fun!

What was your favorite outfit you wore this Summer?

Have a wonderful day!

My First BlogHer! Pt. 2

Here are my further adventures at BlogHer!

This is what I wore on Saturday. I knew I was going to out for the entire day (I didn’t get home until after 12am!) so I wanted to be comfortable yet chic. I’m wearing a Talbots Woman pencil skirt in my favorite color (red), Old Navy denim shirt and sliver jewelry. I wore flat thong sandals and I’m so glad I did! If you plan to attend next year, leave the heels at home!

After a long day of conferencing, it was time to let our hair hang down and have a good time! BlogHer had its first fashion show featuring many well-known bloggers gorgeously dressed. Everyone looked amazing and strutted their stuff down the runway. The show was inclusive featuring women of different sizes, races and abilities.

I also got to take a picture with a very well known (well at least to your kids!) celebrity! He was very warm and fuzzy!

I had to take a picture of Danyelle . Her outfit was so colorful and fun. Plus she was so sweet when I asked to take her picture.

For me the highlight of the day was meeting fabulous women from various parts of the country. I was fortunate to have met Michelle , Karla , Erica and Lea (a fellow SUNY Binghamton alumna). Not only were these ladies beautiful but they were funny as hell! They kept me laughing all night long, making my conference experience even better!

Although I was exhausted when I made it back to my sister’s house, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Blogher2013 is going to be in Chicago next July, will I see you there?

Have a wonderful evening!

Mellow Yellow

Happy Hump Day everyone!

Next to red, yellow is one of my favorite colors. It’s such a vibrant color that instantly brightens any outfit by wearing it . So when I saw this yellow pencil skirt from Eloquii I knew I had to add it to my closet. I didn’t want to wear a black shirt with the skirt (reminds me of a bumble bee! LOL) so I paired it with my floral print blouse from Dorothy Perkins. I think the colors in the blouse pop against my yellow skirt. I wanted to keep my promise to dress more colorfully and I think I’ve achieved that!

What do you like to pair yellow with? Have a great evening!

P.S. Special thanks to my BFF for taking my pics today (she threatened to get me if I didn’t give her a shout out! LOL)
