It feels like summer today, but fall is in the air. It is time to bring out your favorite jackets, coats, sweaters, boots, and accessories. It was a FASHION FLASHBACK kind of day because I went vintage with my Bradley Bayou leather jacket.
I purchased this classicly-designed jacket from QVC over ten years ago. It still looks on point and feels just as good as it did then. The jacket is black, with a tan horizontal striped zip front.

I don’t think we must buy many new clothes because well-made items will become an investment piece. They last a long time and age well.
Back view of Leather Jacket
I wore the leather jacket casually today. I paired it with my I.N.C. jeans from Macy’s, Isaac Mizrahi top, and floral Skechers sneakers. The look is calm and relaxed, and I received tons of compliments on how great this jacket looks.
This picture shows the front view of the jacket, which shows how structured and tailored it is. The lines of the jacket are slimming and accentuate my shape like it was custom-made.
Invest in clothing that will serve your wardrobe well and you will be paid back ten times in dividends. When you have vintage pieces in your closet, you do not have to keep buying every year.
For a slimmer, more defined appearance you should know how to choose a tummy control bodysuit that is ideal for your body type. Through the right clothing you can enhance the qualities that your body type possesses or adjust points that are not so strong to gain more confidence and self-esteem.
There are women who are shorter, others taller, have more fat accumulation in certain parts of the body and many other issues. Therefore, by knowing your shape, you can balance the proportions to achieve a more harmonious appearance, expressing your individuality assertively.
Thong bodysuit for triangle body
The triangular body is also known as a pear and has shoulders and bust that are narrower than the hips. Therefore, it is interesting that you wear a bodysuit that draws more attention to the upper part of your body. The bust frame provides support and beautifies the breast area. The adjustable straps are also interesting, as they allow the piece to fit better on your body. The most interesting thing here is being able to play with the color composition. Since using the contrast of darker sides with the center and top in a lighter color, it increases the effect of a thin waist and also expands the cleavage area. Pair with lower pieces in more closed colors such as black shorts or navy blue pants.
Bodysuit to mark the waist of a rectangular body The rectangular body has hips and waist of the same size. Therefore, it is interesting to invest in a bodysuit that can highlight the waist area and combine with fuller skirts to provide more volume to the hips. The shapewear fabric makes your waist slimmer and the transparent effect on the sides promotes a slimmer shape. At the top, the convertible straps give you five different ways of wearing: traditional, halter, narrow back, crossed and racerback. With these benefits, it is possible to create more attention to the shoulders, further balancing your appearance.
Inverted triangle body butt lift An inverted triangle body has shoulders that are wider than the hips, so you need to create volume in the lower region. Therefore, you can use a best butt lifting shapewear with firm Support to have a powerfully sculpted body. The open-bust design ensures greater comfort when digging. The four-layer fabric aligns the belly and the extra bands improve the appearance of the butt by lifting the area.
Hourglass Body Plunge Thong Jumpsuit One shapewear that clearly defines your waist is essential to enhance your hourglass figure. It is the easiest body to deal with because it has a natural balance of the shoulders and hips. Then, a jumpsuit with integrated hourglass shaping lining smoothes the tummy area through Powermesh. Classic lace delivers premium elegance for your final look. Furthermore, it is easy to use, as it has a convenient hook with opening in the groin area.
Romper with Firm Support for Oval Body The oval body needs to disguise the belly and leave the chest and arms visible. Therefore, a piece with a deep neckline and firm control for the abdominal region is interesting. A patchwork waistband with flexible shaping and elevation could be interesting. In this case, you can enjoy firm control delivered by the best shapewear for tummy with just the right stretch to move comfortably all day long.
I pray that you are having a wonderful week. The last few weeks have gone by quickly because they have been filled with several after-hours work events. I am looking forward to some time off to celebrate my birthday next month.
I am thankful to have the opportunity to preview many incredible movies before they debut in theaters. Watching these movies helps provide a much-needed balance when my hubby and I spend the extra time at work.
The latest movie we had a chance to preview is THE HOPEFUL, which depicts the origins of the Seventh-Day Adventist denomination. Although we knew of this religion, we had not heard the story of its founders and how it faced challenges from other Christian denominations.
THE HOPEFUL had a short timeframe in theaters, as it was only shown on April 17th and 18th. If you didn’t have a chance to see it in the theater, you should have another chance, as I suspect it will soon be available on streaming services.
Giveaway Winner!
In conjunction with THE HOPEFUL coming to the big screen, we offered a giveaway to our readers. Congratulations to
~~ Stephanie ~~

You received an invitation to an important party, but when you opened your wardrobe, you found that no option empowered you or represented your personal style.
This could be a difficult problem to solve, but one that can quickly disappear if you choose a dress built in shapewear clothing. Popilush offers a differentiated design that embraces all women.
How do you know which type of dress to choose for the party?
The direction you need to follow is already in your hands. Firstly, you should check the invitation for the time, place and type of party. These answers will make your final choice much easier, as you can analyze whether you need a more formal or relaxed version. If the weather is hot, you can use a fluid and fresh version for a country wedding.
Bet on a midi dress with an A-line design to look even more feminine. Waist control gives you a well-defined tummy through the shapewear mesh. In addition, it harmonizes the legs, backside, and backline for a smoother shape. The adjustable strap makes the dress fit your body in the best way possible. The front ruffle is an important feature that further refines your shape and makes your bust fuller. Pair it with a straw bag with leather and light-colored shoes.
For an evening cocktail, you can invest in a shapewear maxi dress made from shiny fabric that imitates silk. A deep V neckline with a twisted effect is elegant and shows a unique style. The highly elastic nylon fabric is easy to adapt to the body shape of many women and finishes with comfort and refinement. The plastic mesh
on the back of the piece leaves your back well-defined but also makes the dress even more breathable.
How do I know which length to choose? You should choose a dress length that makes you feel comfortable with your body. Remember to exercise body positivity lightly every time you purchase a new item of clothing. A midi-length dress suits any occasion. So, in addition to being used for parties, it also easily fits into celebrations in the work or family environment.
Long-length dresses can look more shapely, but an 8-in-1 can easily be used on a more relaxed occasion like a children’s birthday. Double-layer waist control gives you a flat tummy. You achieve a more aligned posture that expands your image as a confident woman. Furthermore, the built-in bra with removable cups provides
comfort and practicality.
If you’re going to dance parties, you can invest in a midi version to create a more youthful look. You can choose a version with a metallic effect, in leather, or even an off-the-shoulder shapewear dress to enhance the collarbone and neck area.
The breathable lining prevents you from feeling that unpleasant stuffy feeling, so it’s a breathable piece that can be worn for many hours. 4-way stretch provides comfort. The 3D seam in the butt region gives you well-defined buttocks.
Iris Apfel, a fashion legend and inspiration, recently passed away at 102 years young. She lived her life to the fullest and had such a unique style of her own.
At a time when we hear that women over 40 should hide into the background and go out to pasture, Mrs. Apfel definitely proved them wrong. I want to share this video from Good Morning America.
Mrs. Apfel believed that women should not listen to what people say if they try to shut down their light.
Iris Apfel: “Life is very grey, so fashion should always be fun”
Numerous people and companies have paid tribute to Mrs. Apfel. I wanted to share this link to a Harper’s Bazaar article because the article is in her own words that she didn’t take anything for granted and enjoyed her life.
Wear those bold patterns and color and put on as many necklaces and bangles that heart desires. She ripped the paper on the typical stereotype of the fashion industry and introduced a different atmosphere of what a woman should look in the fashion and in life.

Good Afternoon, Elegant Ones
Blessings that you are having a fantastic day!
I look forward to cooler weather and watching the leaves turn colors and fall from the trees. My hubby told me about an omega block over the Midwest, where we have seen temperatures in the 90s this past week. I am looking forward to those cool breezes.
In collaboration with Lifeway Christian Resources, our team had the opportunity to review a new tool during your daily bible study — The Old Testament Handbook.The Old Testament Handbookfeatures the highly readable, highly reliable text of the Christian Standard Bible. The CSB captures the Bible’s original meaning without sacrificing clarity, making it easier to engage with Scripture’s life-transforming message and to share it with others.
My hubby and I are reading through the Bible with the Chronological Reading plan with Tara Leigh Cobble and the Bible Recap on YouVersion. We finished the Old Testament this weekend and are now moving on to the New Testament. I enjoy reading the Bible in hard copy, but I also listen on my smartphone and iPad.
Do you prefer reading the Bible in hard copy form or listening to the Bible on audio or both ways?
When I read through and study the Bible, I believe having a companion study tool is good when I have questions or want to dive deeper. Many parts of the Old Testament can be confusing or difficult to understand, so having a companion tool like The Old Testament Handbook is essential.
TIP: You can ask the Lord to give you revelation on anything you do not understand. Write down your questions when you are reading, and when the revelations come to you, note what you learned.
Do you want to dive deeper into the Word Of God? The Old Testament Handbook is the tool you need to understand better.
