Spring Trend: Dramatic Sleeves




Just when we thought we have had enough of "off -the-shoulder" and "cold shoulder tops;" the drama around ladies necklines and sleeves continues. Spring 2017 trends showcase ruffle sleeves, bell sleeves, trumpet sleeves; it's all about drama! drama!! drama!!! What say you? "Yay or Nay?"

I purchased this printed one I'm wearing in these pics from Target a long time

Pink Blazer + Cropped White Denim







Happy Wednesday Friends; I hope your week is going great; spring is just around the corner; time to get out the colors. Hot pink is a color that is trending now and I decided to pair this old thrifted blazer that has been in my closet for a while with this white cropped denim pants from Loft. Pink can be paired beautifully with black, white, blue, emerald and a few other colors. Pink and white screams spring to me

Grey Culottes + Stiletto heels






 
Happy Tuesday Friends; just a short post today to celebrate the warm weather; it's like having summer in the middle of Winter. The weather today is 50* degree plus which actually is summer weather in Minnesota. We are so used to our cold and frigid weather and below zero temperatures in Minnesota that any double digits temperature is regarded as great weather. What better way to celebrate the beautiful weather than to wear culottes?


This tailored and structured one is actually very great for work. And again, what better way to wear a pair of culottes other than pairing it with great high stilettos? This helps to formalize the look and to elongate the legs. Culottes are actually not work friendly in a corporate work environment but if you work in a less formal office environment or your own office/ business, go for it. The denim culottes is another option for casual wear and Spring 2017 is going to showcase the culottes for both work and play. What are your thoughts on culottes? Yay or Nay?

Cobalt Blue Pant Suit + Blue floral Pumps









Happy Monday and Presidents day Friends. A lot of mixed feelings about President's day this year but when it comes to wearing the color blue, I absolutely do not have any mixed feelings. It is a color I am starting to embrace and explore. Several years ago, I never would have thought of wearing a blue color pant suit but I started taking fashion risks over the past years and last summer, I put this cobalt color pant suit together which are actually separates; the blazer is an old thrifted piece  and the pants is an old purchase from Jcrew. I paired the look with my white blouse from Ann Taylor and accessorized with a pair of blue floral Nine West pumps to get a full blue outfit. So much dose of blue medicine to get rid of the Monday blues; Enjoy the rest of the week and thanks for stopping by.

Spring Trend: Cardigan + Distressed Denim








 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Cardigans are usually a common trend in the Spring but this year, it is a little more; the "mustard color cardigan" would be a huge trend.  'paired with distressed denim, floral dresses or whites, it is a trend that can be worn by many. In the outfit styleboard board above, I paired the cardigan with burgundy color ankle booties and crisp white shirt and distressed denim; definitely, a very casual chic outfit. Happy Friday 😆

Khaki Trench Coat + Block heel Pumps








So, the weather has started to warm up a lot and it is actually going to be in the 50s next week; currently, the temps is in the upper 30s to 40s and it's definitely time to get out the trench coats and lighter jackets. This Khaki trench coat is an Ivanka Trump brand and it's an old purchase from Nordstrom. I like the beautiful intricate details on the coat like the bows on the sleeves and the folded inseams at the back and the contrast color lapels; definitely a well tailored trench coat. I paired it with a white tee and black denim and green velvet pumps blogged about HEREThe pumps appear to be black in these pics due to the pics quality but they are actually dark green and gave a nice contrast to the coat; speaking of which; I'm quite aware of all the controversy surrounding the Ivanka Trump brand right now and although this is not a political blog but I'll just give my two cents on the matter here.


In as much as I support business decisions made by stores and their right to stop carrying items that do not sell, I also believe it is not a good idea to snub Ivanka Trump's brand because of her Dad's attitude. I follow Ivanka Trump on Instagram and I love her family commitment and her entrepreneurial skills and she really makes beautiful clothing and shoes because I have a couple of items from her brand in my closet right now. I know everyone has the right to make whatever decisions they choose to but the Christianly thing to do is to move on and pray for everyone including your enemies and show them love when you can. I know this is a very hard and sensitive issue..."Anywho," I am on a shopping freeze right now so, I won't be buying any item from Nordstrom or any other store that is involved with this controversy but I'll gladly wear and blog about her clothing that I already purchased a while back. Hmmm**clears throat** what say you?  ðŸ™†

Polka Dots + Red wide-leg Pants







Happy Wednesday Friends, I hope the week is going great. I do not celebrate Valentine on February 14th as I believe Love should be celebrated any day and everyday; so, I did not make much fuss about it here on the blog. I have been married for over ten years and I have two boys and two girls ranging from ages three to ten and I strongly believe that love should be celebrated between couples especially on anniversaries and birthdays. If February 4th Valentine celebration happens to be one of the special days you celebrate with your spouse; it is perfectly okay.



My outfit for the day is a polka dots blouse tucked into a pair of red wide legged pants purchased from Victoriassecret years ago. They are the most comfortable and trendy pants ever and the quality is amazing; definitely the perfect work pants. The polka dots blouse is from Loft and currently sold out but I have included links of similar items below the pics if you want to check them out. This outfit is feminine and chic at the same time and definitely appropriate for work in a corporate setting on Valentine's day or day after Valentines. Keep spreading the love 💞
