Old Navy Boyfriend Khakis

 

I'm happy I purchased these Old Navy Boyfriend Skinny Khakis; They fit. I've been looking for the perfect navy cropped pants. You know the criteria, something that would fit over my belly, not too big in the thigh area and that will not further make me an inverted triangle. These can be dressed up or down and I love love that there's some stretch but they do not become loose by the end of the day. Cropped pants are a staple for work in the summer and I'm thinking of getting these in Olive for weekend wear. The shell top worked well to balance out my shape.

Hot Pink and White Polka Dots (It's a Remix)

I've always worn red or black with black and white polka dots and wanted to try a new color. I guess any color goes with black and white polka dots. This is a modified version of our choir uniform. I was supposed to wear the hot pink with black but opted for the polka dots because I wasn't going to be on stage. I'm remixing the blouse today, as shown below, and the skirt remix was featured in a previous post as shown here. What's your favorite color to wear with black and white polka dots?

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.

Burgundy Skirt Remix

This is a dress down version of the burgundy skirt I featured two weeks ago. It was a relatively warm day so I decided to wear a skirt. I added interest to the outfit by wearing colored tights. These ones from Target are not bad at all. They passed the no itch test. I wore them all day with no problems.  To ease into the colored tights trend, wear them with boots to hide most of it. I did go bold with cobalt ones last year.  I'm probably too old to do that again now.

I do not believe January is almost over. I hope all the goals you wrote down are being worked on. I've accomplished quite a few things this month. My new planner came in this week and I will be using it to help me stay on track with everything - my blog, business, spiritual growth, family, meal planning and so on. I hope to share more of how I will be using it. Yes I love paper planning and this year I decided to go pretty by going with the Erin Condren Planner.

Polka Dot Remix and $410 Up for Grabs {Giveaway}

We had unexpected snow two days in a row this past weekend and I thought I would take one picture while it was snowing so as to have a picture with snow effects. Two weeks ago, I did not take pictures because it was snowing but I liked all the snow effect pictures I saw in blog land and decided to brave the snow with this one.
Polka dots are still a favorite of mine. This skirt is really old and at some point I thought it was no longer trendy to wear polka dots. I paired it previously with a red top and here, I'm doing all black and white with this plain black sweater. A plain sweater is a great piece to invest in because it can be easily accessorized and paired with anything like I did here, and stretches your wardrobe.

Dots and Stripes

Just a quick post for you today. The fact that I do not have my photographer available to take my pictures anymore except on the weekends has made it possible for me to take even more outfit pictures. I take them myself now during the week so I always have too many pictures sometimes. I usually talk myself into not taking pictures on some days. 

This is what I wore on Friday. Final day of all the walking around and being on my feet at work. Another simple, comfortable outfit. The scarf (previously worn here) is actually a regular scarf. I turned it into an infinity scarf. I should be back to some fancy posting next week. Have a great weekend.

Black Dots Shirt Dress

I bought this dress from Gap a few months ago after seeing it on Shelby. I loved the way it looked on her so I thought to give it a try. It's amazing to see how the same dress looks differently on different people. I love that I can button it up with no problems. Any dress that fits over my chest is a keeper. A lot of reviewers complained about the dress being shapeless and too big. Gap sizes run big, so always size down. The slight flare on the bottom part is also perfect for my shape. If it was straight up and down, it would not be flattering. I also ordered it in tall for more length.

Pastel and Neutral (Purple and Nude)

This outfit came together after trying different versions of purple and beige that I had to wear on Sunday. I'm wearing my $10 Forever 21 sweater which is still holding up well. I buy items based on what fits me for the most part. Crew neck sweaters don't work for my heavy top but when I find a brand that fits, if it is Forever 21 cheap, I go for it. I have the sweater in navy too. Worn here and here. 

And I leave you with this for the week: Hold on to your dreams, goals and whatever you are hoping for. Even though you feel like slipping and letting go because you are tired, or things don't seem to be working out. Just hold on. In due time, it will come to pass. And even if it doesn't, you will know that you tried and you were definitely strengthened and gotten better through the process. The process of waiting and hoping and experiencing the pain makes you stronger.
Have a lovely week.....

Burgundy and Dots and Finally Wearing Boots

I finally caved in and wore my boots today and I'm glad I did because it was cold. They made me feel so comfortable and ready to brave the weather. These are the boots I've worn almost everyday for the past two winters. They go with everything. I'm also wearing burgundy again (I've wanted everything burgundy since the fall began). This is the cardigan I showcased here. I bought it in tall so I could wear it as a boyfriend cardi. I've decided to stick with Old Navy and Gap and Target when buying my sweaters and cardigans. I was at JCrew Factory the other day thinking I wanted to be cool and buy expensive better quality clothing but quickly found out that the cut of their clothes do not fit my body type. So I end up going back to the above mentioned stores because the clothes fit better.

Red Accents and Polka Dots

Polka dots seemed to be the theme in blog world last week. I decided to wear this old faithful to church this Sunday. Our choir uniform was red black and white. I call this dress old faithful because it is old and it's been worn many times...to church, a wedding, parties, and dinners. It was one of my first outfit purchases from Target many years ago and it's still holding up well. I especially love the fact that I've never had to iron it. This is my first time wearing it with a sweater. Prior to blogging and deciding to dress better, I didn't know anything about layering a dress.
