Gold Dots and Brown

Happy Thursday. A quick post showing how I'm remixing my gold dotted sweater skirt. I first wore it in this post with a chambray shirt. I'm also showing how to camouflage a big bust by wearing a scarf and wearing a blazer. This sweater is a crew neck sweater which I'm really supposed to stay away from because of my heavy top but there's something about crew necks that I love.  In the last picture I changed things up by wearing the blazer and wedge pumps in the evening for an event.

Fall Brights: Poppy, Navy and Turquoise

We had balmy weather on Friday, so I decided to wear this blazer as my jacket for the day. It had been sitting in my closet and I didn't want another season to go by without wearing it. Once winter comes around, wearing blazers will no longer be an option, at least for me.
I love the contrast between the poppy and navy. These are two nice colors to wear together.

Have a lovely week and do not let anything weigh you down. Lay aside anything that wants to steal your joy or keep you from moving forward. I am working on this myself...trying not to let anything steal my joy. At church we learnt about thanksgiving. Be thankful for everything. Even when things aren't going the way you have imagined, just be thankful. What I'm going through doesn't even compare with all the stuff I'm hearing on the news. I am grateful, thankful and awed by God's mercy on me.

P.S. Every Monday, I will start sharing a teeny bit of what I've learned through out the week to inspire you...if you don't mind.

Blazer and Jeans

Here's a quick way to dress up your jeans; add a colorful blazer. I love the way burgundy pairs with grey. I had worn my work polo shirt with my jeans and changed into the blazer for a church event on Friday (if you have been following my posts this week, you can tell I'm posting backwards). I always like to match at least two things in my outfits so I opted for these grey pumps. 

I rarely wear blazers because they never fit right because of my big chest, so I have very few. The ones cut for my heavy top and big mid section are hard to find. If you have problems wearing blazers like I do, opt for single breasted, single button. For a slimmer look, go for a fitted cut and fold the sleeves, or get the ones with 3/4 sleeves.
