The Best of 2012

Happy Monday all!

Initially I wasn’t going to do a “best of” post but I decided to do one anyway.  I picked these outfits because they were so fun to wear! The outfits are special to me because they show me embracing my body.  No more hiding and following ridiculous fashion “rules”. If I like it and feel comfortable, I’m gonna wear it!

In keeping with New Year traditions, I’ve only made two resolutions that I know I will not break:

1. Exercise & be healthy

2. Travel more (I’m heading to Vegas later this month, Paris in April and Chicago in July)

What are your New Year resolutions?

Have a great day!

Ooops I Did it Again!

Happy Hump Day all!

I had planned this elaborate blog post with pictures of myself and my family celebrating Christmas BUT while I brought my camera , I left my memory card back home! Arggh!  Don’t you hate it when stuff like that happens?!! My cousin Jessie was sweet enough to snap a picture of my outfit with my iPhone so I apologize for the grainy picture.  While forgetting my memory card was a bummer,   I had an excellent time with my family yesterday.  We spent the day  exchanging gifts, laughing and spending quality time with one another.  I am very blessed to have the family that I have.

How was your Christmas?

Have a wonderful day!

Date Night

Happy Monday all!

My post today is not a work outfit! Shocking right?! (LOL!)  This is what I wore on my date Saturday night.  I really liked what I wore so I asked my date to take my picture (thanks Kobe!). One of my early New Year resolutions is to post more casual outfits to change things up abit.  Im excited for the upcoming year and the plans I have for the blog.

Have a great day!

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!

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!
