Casual Friday/Offering a Helping Hand

TGIF all!

What a week! Unfortunately my family in the Bronx are still without power. It’s hard to watch them struggle but they are extremely grateful to be alive and have a roof over their heads. So many people in my home state of New York and New Jersey are suffering terribly tonight and need our help. The American Red Cross is accepting donations to help the millions of Hurricane Sandy victims. Your contribution may be small but it does make a difference.

With that said, I needed a punch of color to brighten my mood today. This Sean Anthony Designs fuchsia ruffle blouse definitely does the trick. I wanted the blouse to be the focus of attention, so I paired it with my coated black INC blazer and printed Eloquii ankle pants.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Casual Friday/Rainbow Bright

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!

You Aint Nothin But A Hounddog

Happy Hump Day all!

Confession time, I didn’t know there was anything such as dogstooth. I’m assuming its the half-brother/sister of houndstooth being that the latter gets all the attention. Either way, when I saw this dogstooth pencil skirt on Simply Be’s website with 50% off, I had to make it mine. Pairing the skirt with red seemed like a natural choice although I could see myself wearing a cobalt blue with it in the future. I wanted to add some “edge” up my look so I wore my faux leather jacket from Kohls to “toughen” it up (Me tough?! Ha! I still sleep with a night light! ). If the jacket looks familiar to you, I wore the green one here. Lets just say, I’m slightly enamored with the jacket 🙂

I want to thank all of you for your wonderful and encouraging comments on my previous post “Change is Gonna Come”. This might sound a little corny, but I feel closer to you ladies after reading your responses. Again thank you for being the BEST readers in the world!!!

Are you a fan of dogs/houndstooth?

Have a great 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!
