November 2014 Week One Recap

I got used to doing style challenges and recapping weekly so I thought I would continue on with it. I haven't really been participating in a lot of style challenges this month because I want to wear other things and sometimes I just don't always want to do what everyone else is doing. That is the definition of style though- being yourself and being fashionable while not necessarily doing what everyone else does. I also got the opportunity to review a new to me company, LuLaRoe, and wear a couple of those looks. It was a great week! 

Monday- 11/3- I did do one style challenge, Pinned It Spinned, and copied this outfit by my friend @emilyagosta. I liked the way this outfit looked but it was a little warmer so I decided to make it a little more "springy" by wearing brighter colors. I also tried out a new pair of shoes by The Lahi and really liked the way they brightened up my outfit! 



Tuesday- 11/4- Voting day! I wore this fun initial sweater over a dress. It got cold so I ended up throwing a jean jacket on over top. I have to admit that I like the way it turned out! 



Wednesday- 11/5- I tried this LuLaRoe Cassie pencil skirt and wore it layered up with a long sleeve shirt and sweater. I liked the tights and booties with it too. It was a comfy and cozy outfit! 


Thursday- 11/6- I wore this LuLaRoe Amelia dress and was so happy with it! I loved the pop of pink with the heels and it was just one of the many ways that I will be able to wear this dress! 


Friday- 11/7- oh Friday! My son usually takes my pictures for me but he was off of school on this day and he and my husband were gone all day. I tried my timer on my phone for the first time. I don't think the quality of this picture is that great but I was happy that I managed to get the whole thing in the picture! 



Saturday-11/8- It's the weekend! I wore this fun hedgehog sweater over a plaid shirt with jeans and put my polka dot vest over top. This is a classic example of an outfit I will wear all fall and winter! 


Sunday- 11/9- I wore this pretty lace dress a different way with a faux leather jacket and booties. Read all about it in the latest Sunday Style post. 



This last week was a lot of fun getting dressed up and trying new combinations! Hope you all are off to a great start of your week! I'm off for four days and getting a lot of stuff done around the house. 

Thanks for reading and following along with me!

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...
