I am on the phone talking about how wild I am about polka dots. Polka dots you say? Yes polka dots. I had bible study last night so I was not able to post these pictures until today so my hubby was taking pics of me while I was on the phone because we had to leave soon. Well it happen to be raining buckets yesterday so it was perfect that I could wear my Chooka polka dot rain boots.

Polka dots bring a smile to my face and to find out that I could have them on my rain boots was a plus. These rain boots retail for $60 but I got a great deal on these babies for $19.98 at Sams of all places. I jumped up and down in the store when I saw them because I know what they retail for.
I have to say that every time I get ready to take a picture my doggies want to steal the spotlight. They are going wild for polka dots too.
I wear this polka dot skirt all year long the fabric is cotton so whether bare leg or with tights the skirt works.
Other ladies are going wild for polka dots too. Please check out Everybody, Everywear!
Side note: Those Toile curtains in the background were sewn by me.
I am wearing pink lipstick in this photo. Pink is a subtle and soft color on me and I like that for my complexion. Make sure that when you chose a lip color that it lights up your face.

The softness that pinks can give my face is so alluring. I love this look on me, it’s not in your face it’s a soft glow. I used bareminerals cupcake and added Fran Wilson frost on top to give my lips that romantic glow.

The sun was really bright when some of the pictures were taken so mixed it up and took some pics inside.

bareMinerals Women of BE 20-piece eye color collection qvc.com
My hubby bought this eye color collection from QVC.com for me for Christmas last year. I feel like a beauty chemist because I can mix so many colors to create some fantastic shades. I have so much fun and I just found out that it’s not available any more in this configuration so this was a wonderful gift.
This post was in response to MJ of Fierce Rock Your Beauty Event March 9, 2011.
Thanks MJ for coming up with this idea of having fun with the color pink.
Oops almost forgot my Dooney & Bourke handbag is Pink too!
Boy this 30 for 30 is different, I guess it’s because I remix all the time. I think everyone remixes in one way or another.
I am going at my own pace with this because a lot has been going on. Meaning life so here’s day 17 of 30 for 30.

I love the necklace. It was such a great find that I try to wear it every chance I get because it adds pizazz to any outfit. My Studio Barse turquoise ring in bronze is one of my favorites. I am very fond of turquoise jewelry and I wear it all year long. In St. Louis the weather has been all over the place, the day I wore the leather jacket as my outer garment it was 70 degrees.

My red turtleneck from Macy’s and my pants are from Jones New York. My boots are Aerosoles and my bag in Pink is from Dooney & Bourke (one of my favorites).
I am behind on posting my photos for 30 for 30 because the week has been quite busy. I really enjoyed wearing this because I love the color.

I am loving Marc Bouwer’s Fall 2011 Collection because it is so feminine and chic. I would wear every garment in his fashion short film. Madam, I will take one of everything! He makes a woman look pretty and she can still keep her clothes on and show her curves. I love it!
He is so talented and you know what he has a line on QVC.com. Yes he does and I love it. We often hear how designers only focus on Runway well this gentlemen has a line on QVC called M by Marc Bouwer and the sizes run from XXS to 3x. This couture inspired sportswear line is available to a variety of sizes of women and this brings the cost down as well because there’s more quantity. Fabulous!
The two videos below are from his Runway shows if you are not familiar with him. If you would like to check out the line that he does for QVC please click this link M by Marc Bouwer.

Today was a busy day at work but and the weather has been all over the place so I have had to really go with the flow in my outfits. So I am really loving this crochet skirt, it’s comfortable but fitted. The argyle sweater just works with the white ruffled blouse. I’m loving it and an added plus for the slimming effect of the skirt.
