Double the Pleasure....

Hey Fashionistas !

I hope you are all well. I won't waste any time babbling with small talk, I have some business to take care of.  Today's post will feature TWO casual outfits!  Double the pleasure, double the fun!  That's right, It's a two for one!  I know we all love those, now don't we?

Fit #1

HOUNDSTOOTH

As you know Houndstooth have been trending with the celebs and in the fashion world. I'm loving that because I love houndstooth and it has always been a staple in my arsenal.  I love it in and "out" of style.  This jacket was purchased about 3 or 4 years ago from Burlington for $12.99!  And that wasn't a sale price.  I was walking through the store and they just got them in as they were still on the rolling rack.  Because of it being houndstooth, I stopped dead in my tracks. My jaw hit the floor when I saw the price.  I was so surprised I had to look at all the other tags because I just knew it was a mistake, lol.  No mistake.  Needless to say, I walked right to the register without a second thought.  It isn't a flimsy jacket either.  It has a lining and some weight to it.  Few years later and several trips to the cleaners, I still rock it like I bought it yesterday.  I have gotten more than my money's worth from it!

Fit #2

COLOR BLOCKING w/ Sequin

As the Houndstooth, color blocking is nothing new but I still love doing it as if it was just introduced yesterday.  In this outfit, I used two of my favorite colors to color block.  And yes...I have on a blazer...AGAIN!  You've seen this one before here, where I used the same two colors...OK so sue me!  I just love this color combo.  I wore this last Friday to a get together with some friends to celebrate a birthday.

BAM! Kickin It Up A Notch

It's the weekennnnnddddd!!!

Today was my day off as I am off every other Friday. On my Friday off I can be found lounging all day in the bed because I have absolute quiet time. Everybody is at work and school and I'm all alone...well me and my pooch. I absolutely love it! As for today, I ran an errand or two and decided to get just a lil sassy. Ever since the inception of this blog I have been putting some extra thought into everything I wear each day...no matter the occasion.  I wonder if anyone else does that. I'm grateful for it though. I'm swimming in a sea of some fly ladies in this blog world and I wanna stay afloat. It's all good though because I got a mean doggy paddle...lol. You all have challenged me to kick up a notch....BAM! *doing my best Emeril impersonation*. The challenge has been helpful for my inner diva.  So today, this is my errand running attire kicked up. Below I will make some fun of myself and post a pic of my usual errand running attire. Teehee.

My fit today consists of a couple of trends.  Lace, and a bright bold color.

A pair of sweatpants is my usual errand running attire.

In this pic I match but that isn't always the case...lol

Thanks for reading and

have a great weekend!
