Sunday Style: Perfectly Parisian

Well, it happened again. I had a perfectly lovely outfit to wear and it dumped snow on us again. I can't really get away with wearing the beautiful striped dress and heels when there is so much snow on the ground! I am so over winter! 

Anyways, I started a new challenge on Instagram yesterday called Style Me March. If you're on IG, you can use the hashtag #stylememarch to follow along with all of us doing the challenge. I love Hilary Rushford and the style challenges that she puts together. These are fun because they encourage you to use what you have and it's just basically a theme of sorts for the day. I can be as creative as I want when planning my outfits. Today's theme is Perfectly Parisian. 

Now I have never been to Paris (I would love to go though someday) and am not really sure what one might wear there but I confess I did look at Pinterest to see what Parisian style might be. I already had a notion of what I might try to dress like when I picked out the striped dress that didn't work out due to the weather. I saw a lot of stripes and trench coats and black so I knew I would be okay with basically whatever I chose. 

I decided to pair this Chanel-esque sweater from New York and Company that I purchased a few years ago with some black denim. It's too cold and snowy for a skirt. I found this striped sequin tank (new with tags still) from Loft hanging in my closet and thought they would be a good match. Now I need some color in my life, so I decided to wear this coral flower necklace to top it off. I actually ordered this necklace from Groopdealz last year when they were all the rage. I am wearing my black booties from Kohls and using my leopard clutch from Forever 21. 

I am also wearing sunnies from Loft and the green ring I found at Old Navy. I'm actually loving this outfit today and think I would wear it again! I'm not sure how Parisian it is but it sure is a fun outfit to wear going out or staying in. 

Here are some pics from today's outfit: 







What do you all think? Parisian enough? Are any of you doing this challenge with me? 

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

    Love that black and white stripes are all the rage right now. I'm wearing a black and white striped tank from Maurices and a red cardigan from Forever 21. Hmmm...a leopard scarf would be just the thing for the "Parisian" look....off to shop for one.

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...
