Workin' the Pleated Maxi!

Hey ladies and gents!

I hope you all are doing well.  I know I have mentioned this before but I love being able to come home and take pics in the daylight!!  Totally fabulous!  Let's talk about what I wore to work today.

My pleated maxi skirt!  Pleats are trending and a couple of weeks ago I told you all that I had a coupon that I had to use at Ashley Stewart before it expired.  While I was there I bumped into this skirt on the sale rack and couldn't pass it up.  As far as how to style it, I had something else in mind when I picked up but this is how I wore it today.  The real reason why I wore it today was because it was the first chill we had in a while and I put away all my winter clothes.  I knew spring was gonna play peek-a-boo.  I wore this skirt so that I could hide the footless leggings I wore to keep my gams warm.  You gotta do what you gotta do...even though I could have worn slacks but I was looking for an excuse to wear the darn skirt...sue me!

Skirt and top: Ashley Stewart  Blazer: Thrifted   Belt: Target  Pumps: Simply Vera by Vera Wang

Blocked & Mixed!

Hello my lovely fashion friends!

I bid all my new friends a warm welcome!

I hope you all are well.  I am hanging in there but I need a vacation! 

I need to get far away from here, far away from here, far away from here. 

Just jump in a taxi cab and get away fast.

Nahhh...it isn't that bad but the Mr. and I are counting down the days to our anniversary :)

Alright peeps, there is nothing like getting out of a fashion funk with some color blocking!

I know I said it before but I will say it again...I will be the LAST person rocking this trend.

When the monochromatic trend picks up, I will be getting the side eye because of my colors.  Just the same way white after Labor Day gets the side eye.  I will NOT let it go!  So to all my fellow fashionistas who are done with color blocking now, I apologize. I do I do I do I do I dooooooo. 

You know I do! Heh.

Winter White Styled with Love

Happy Valentine's Day Lovelies!

Today's outfit is Valentine's day inspired to have a lil fun with my fellow bloggers.

I have linked up with  everyone at Everbody Everywear workin' the Pink and Red!

&

Bloggers Do It Better where we are rockin' the Red!

In this outfit I went with the more traditional Love Day look. 

In the outfit below I switched it up just a tad bit.

Both looks are perfect for dinner with a special someone or the girls.
Slacks are a little warmer for a cold day in February but can be swapped out for a skirt
if you wanna give a lil leg to make this look a lil bit sexier for a first date.

Trousers:  K&G   Sweater and Jacket: Thrifted   Necklace: NYC Street Vendor 
Shoes:  Nine West Bracelet:  Pinlet by D  Belt: Target  Clutch:  Leather Man

I also wanted to switch it up just a lil bit by color blocking with a not so traditional Valentine color.

Trousers:  K&G  Blazer: Thrifted   Striped Tank: Target  Purse:  Streets of NYC  Shoes: Faryl Robin  Random Accessories

 

And since it is Valentine's day, I want to share one of my favorite pics of me and my Valentine.

Babe, I love you more than chicken and rice! ;-)

Happy Valentine's Day!

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!

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.
