Sunday Style: Lace and Tweed

I'm so tired of all of the cold weather and snow that we are having! I saw on the news today that we have had about 32" of snow in January and more is still falling! I'm so ready for spring! But alas, we will have to wait a little while longer! 

Today's momod challenge is lace. I had a lace dress all picked out for today and decided to not wear it and go with pants instead since it's so cold! I have this salmon colored lace top from Loft (2012) and paired it with black jeans. I'm wearing this awesome tweed jacket that I got from Banana Republic a few years ago. I love mixing textures as much as I love mixing prints!  I went with black boots to match that are Bare Traps brand from DSW and look as good as they are comfortable. 

For accessories, I'm wearing my dark metal necklace and earrings again from Premier Designs. I think these are are pretty and edgy at the same time. Probably some of my favorite pieces from them! I added my strand of pearls from J Crew in too. I think I like these a lot together! I'm also carrying a leopard clutch from Forever 21 that I got last summer. Such an easy and fun outfit to put together! 





Hope you're all having a great weekend!

    A very flattering look for you, and the light snowfall just adds to the charm. Nice job!

    I really like the all black with the touch of the blush lace top. Very pretty! My little one was leaning over my shoulder and said to tell you that you look pretty :)

    It's so funny to read everyone's varying accounts on the weather.

    We're missing out on winter here in California, and it makes me kind of sad! I'm definitely not a snow kind of girl, but I was at LEAST hoping for some foggy days and rainy nights. Sadly, California is experiencing a drought, and we're not getting very much moisture around these parts!

    As I mentioned on Instagram I'm behind on my own challenge! AHHHH! So I'm hoping to incorporate some lace tomorrow or Tuesday!

    I love tweed but always have the hardest time styling it for some reason. I'm probably thinking about it too hard and just need to keep it simple. The textures you mixed with it look great, it's a classic jacket and will never go out of style! Glad I found your blog through Instagram, looking forward to reading more.

      Thanks so much! I have this jacket and a skirt and I think that's all the tweed I own! I like to mix it with a different texture so it doesn't feel too "old" for me. Thanks for reading!

Sunday Style: Green

Image
Green is my favorite color. I think it brings out the color in my eyes and it looks great with my skin tone.There's lots of sayings with green in them too. Give the green light. Green thumb. Going green. (Make no mistake- I didn't say Go Green- that's for all you Spartan fans out there). Green around the gills. Green with envy- well, don't be green with envy but I am sitting here in sunny Florida enjoying the warm weather and time with family and friends... This green dress has been hanging in my closet for a while but this was the first time that I got it out. I scored it on a major sale but just haven't had a chance to wear it. I always say why wait for a special occasion?  What I love most about this dress is the neckline. I tell you all the time that it's hard for me to wear a straight skirt or dress and this is no exception. I like the look of it but I do think I'll spend a few more dollars and have it tailored a little more. I paired nude pumps...

Sunday Style: JJ’s House

Image
It’s been said in various ways that clothes don’t make the person, the person makes the clothes. I believe this to be exceptionally true in this beautiful dress that I am wearing in today’s post! This dress literally made me wish that I was heading out to the opera or a benefit dinner. I love that I get to wear and model a lot of clothes and some just feel more special than others. This dress was custom made for me so I got all the feels while I was zipping it up and looking in the mirror. It fits like a glove and I could not be more in love with it!  Let’s talk about  JJ’s House  for a minute. They have all sorts of dresses for special occasions, including bridal wear! I picked out a dress and did my measurements and sent them in with my order. They even called me once to make sure that my measurements were correct so they made sure to make the dress correctly!  This  dress  has gorgeous nude tulle with a black lace overlay. I literally felt like a princes...
