January 2015 Week Three Recap

Hard to believe that Sunday will be February already! This month has brought colder temps, cloudy and sunny days and even snow. Mother Nature has a sense of humor at times and has been somewhat bipolar in her temperature offerings. I also participated in a fun style challenge called "Calling All Preps" and  was excited to mix and match some things up in my closet. 

Here goes the recap:

Saturday, Jan 17- no outfit post but I had to show off these pretties for Red Shoes Day! 


Shoes- Just Fab (recent)

Sunday, Jan 18- This outfit was recapped in last week's Sunday Style post. Check it out for all of the details! 



Monday, Jan 19- No work for me since it was a bank holiday but later in the day, we went out for dinner so I put on the basic blogger outfit and headed out to get some Mexican food! This was the first day of the style challenge which was Vests and Plaid. 


Scarf- Zara (old)
Vest- J Crew Factory (old)
Sweatshirt- Target (old)
Jeans- Lane Bryant (old)
Boots- DSW (old) 

Tuesday, Jan 20- Today's theme was pearls and monograms so I thought it was the perfect day to wear pink and sequins too! 



Clutch- Social Monograms (old)
Pearls- J Crew Factory (old)
Sweater- Target (last year)
Sequin tank- Old Navy (old)
Pants- JC Penney (old)
Boots- Kohl's (old)

Wednesday, Jan 21- Button downs and cardis were on the menu for this day. I chose leopard print with a polka dot shirt but brightened it up with a green necklace. This was a fun look for me! 


Cardigan- Target (last year)
Shirt- Joe Fresh via JC Penney (old)
Necklace- Stella and Dot (old)

Thursday, Jan 22- This day's challenge was all about bows and belts. I chose another outfit that I've had for a long time and added a gold bow belt and of course, bows on toes! 



Shirt- Loft (old)
Skirt- Groopdealz (old)
Belt- Target (old)
Shoes- Kohl's (old)

Friday, Jan 23- Last day of the Calling All Preps challenge was blazers and loafers. I put the loafers on for the picture but I'll admit that I changed to boots since it was too cold! 



Jacket- Banana Republic (last year)
Blouse- New York and Company (old)
Jeans- Avenue (old)
Loafers- Target (last year) 

It was a great week of dressing and this challenge helped me to really pull things out of the back of my closet! 

Hope you're having a great week! 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...
