Sunday Style: Peplum and a Little Bit of Everything Else

I'm not quite sure what to call today's Sunday Style outfit. Hence the name of the post. I am of course shopping in my closet and trying to follow along with two style challenges on Instagram this month. The Momomod challenge is a little more generic and allows for me to interpret as I wish. The Style Me February challenge is more specific. The Momomod challenge yesterday was patterned tights and today was a peplum so I knew I would combine the two for today. The Style Me February challenge was fur or animal print so I belted the peplum with a leopard belt. 

I paired the peplum with a long sleeve polka dot shirt since it is so cold here. I wore it over my lace skirt that I bought forever ago at Macys for such a steal. I wore the polka dot tights then and wore bow heels and carried my black Phillip Lim for Target bag. I also topped it all off with a statement necklace that is colorful. All in all I think I did a good job in interpreting the challenges and making this outfit my own. Bonus: a random old man at church today told me I looked nice. I guess I did okay. 

Here's some pictures of today's outfit and the details: 






Here's a picture of the first time I wore this outfit last summer. See I how I made it appropriate for cooler weather? 


Hope you all are having a great Sunday!

    You always knock the ball out of the park with your outfits! You look fabulous as always. I am playing along with the More Modern Modesty challenge this month too. It's a great motivator for me to keep up with no shopping and remixing my closet. Have a great Sunday!

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...
