I wanted to add some spice to my simple white button down shirt, kick it up a notch.
So I started thinking in my head what pieces I could coordinate with my shirt and my jeans.

I decided to add an animal print tank and a tweed jacket. The animal print tank is a combination of silk, nylon and viscose so it is so soft.
My Susan Graver jacket from QVC.com has metallic, yellow, blue, and black yarns in it with piping trim so it popped the outfit and took it up a notch.
I have had this jacket for at least three years and it looks as good as new. The jacket came with black pants; but I like to coordinate my jackets with other pieces in my wardrobe.

The hair sticks are from Claire’s and I have had them for years. My necklace is one of my favorites, the necklace is was a gift and the heart pendant enhancer is from Nolan Miller.
One of my new favorites is my Ellen Tracey metallic woven jeans, so slimming and love seeing the glitter.
My Dooney and Bourke bag in cherry red was a Christmas present so I am really enjoying it.
My cowboy boots are from Madden Girl and they are so comfortable and cute at the same time.
As you can see layering pieces of clothing from your wardrobe can take a simple white button shirt to another level.
Next time you have on a crisp button down shirt on, please let me know how you style it.
Until next time have a blessed and awesome week.

This winter’s weather has been something else !
One day it is mild and in the 60s and the next day it is bitter cold and windy and 24.
Today, it has been cold. I had to dress accordingly; but I still like to look chic.
The cold weather makes me bring out my furs and hats that I enjoy wearing.

This coat is from Terry Lewis and I especially love the fur accents on the collar and cuff. I love the color that reminds me of the honeysuckle pink pantone color of 2011 and I think the detailing adds extra pizzazz.

My hat is so cool! Dottie hand made this hat. Her prices are really reasonable. My handbag is a Dooney and Bourke Satchel that I have had for years and I love how it looks brand new. This bag is great for work. I found y comfortable detailed boots, by Matisse, about two years ago at DSW. I bought my gloves on sale at Macy’s a couple of years ago. Can you tell that I just don’t go out and rush and buy stuff. No need to buy stuff all the time if you find great deals on quality pieces.

Happy New Year to Everyone!
I wanted to share two of my Christmas presents that I received from my hubby. I had been eyeing a certain Calvin Klein coat. One day back in October we happen to be walking through Macy’s during one of it’s famous “ONE DAY SALE.” The coat was on sale and we couldn’t refuse. It was such a pretty coat, designed to the max.

I made this video so quick because it was such a great deal. A deal of the century!
The coat is tweed and feels like boucle. The fabric combination is polyester and wool. I love the military style of the coat and the ribbing of the collar.
This coat gives off so much elegance and chicness that this coat is a new favorite of mine.

The front view of the coat is military style with a touch of ribbing at the collar and epaulets on the shoulders. My hubby and I bought this coat on sale in October. However, I did not wear it until Christmas day because it was a Christmas present.
My other present was my Dooney and Bourke handbag.

My Curly Updo
I am also really loving that I am able to style my hair and do not have to use heat all of the time. Freedom and choices is always nice. It’s been a natural hair journey and it’s been so worth it. The process has not been a cake walk, but I have learned a great deal about how to take care of my natural hair.
Curly updo
I received some stylish gifts this past year. The main reason this Christmas holiday was special because we celebrated Jesus birthday! He’s the reason for the season. I also am very thankful for my family and friends.
Have a wonderful year!

When I go to an eyewear store to purchase glasses and lenses, it is amazing how expensive a pair can be. The last pair of glasses that I bought were from the brand Chanel and they cost a whopping $450.00! So for that amount I would have to wait a while to get another pair. Those days are over because GlassesUSA.com is here.
Looking through the many options that are available at GlassesUSA.com, you will find a pair that can fit your style and your budget. For example, the iSee 708 Pink eyeglass frames cost at retail $170.00. On the GlassesUSA website, the frames are discounted to $78.00, which includes the lenses. That is a 54% savings off of retail. To get the lenses and frames for under $100.00 is a great value.
These glasses look really chic. If I went elsewhere I would have to pay extra for lenses which can be just as expensive or more than the frames. GlassesUSA.com offers 100% satisfaction guaranteed. If you’re not satisfied with your glasses you can get a refund or a new pair of glasses. The customer is first with them and that means a lot to me.

To say that I love handbags and shoes is an understatement. DSW is one of my favorite stores because I can get cool shoes at an awesome price.
I bought these Madden Girl cowboy boots last month for an awesome price. The boots are comfortable and fashionable.
I like the DSW’s Facebook Page. Recently, they had a DSW Fanatic Frenzy on Facebook going on for its fans.
On my Facebook page, I commented “I am a shoe fanatic”.
They replied to my post, saying that they would send me something for participating on the event.
Well yesterday, I received my surprise via FedEx. It’s a DSW thank you card and this fab tote.
Love the shoe images on the tote and the cute quotes.
One of my favorite quotes on the bag is, “Make life more glamorous, run errands in high heels.”

This bag is too cute and will fit so many different necessities for the day.

Had to try on this tote to see how it looks.

You might say, “What is the Scholarshop?”
The Scholarship is a luxury thrift shop where the interest free educational loans go to students for college. You never know what you might find so it’s a new adventure each time I go. I did a short video of some of my great finds. So happy! I just realized that my hairstyle is reminding me a little of Prince in his video for When Doves Cry. Ha! Ha!

And here are some pics of how I styled some of the pieces. I love shopping for workhorse apparel that I can wear with many pieces I already have in my wardrobe.
This Jones New York Blouse was $10.00.

These pieces will work for me for fall and winter. Coordinating tops and bottoms will be so interchangeable and fresh.
