Hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day!
I am playing catch up because its been a lot going on but I love this outfit. I used one of these pics in another post for the pop of color but this is my Day 8 outfit. The turtleneck and the skirt were not bought at the same time so the match is phenomenal. The obi belt gives such a slimming look.

I know that almost everyone wants the snow to melt but seeing this lineup of Fashion picks from Tracy Reese 2011 Runway fall fashion show at the New York Times Fashion website makes me want the snow to start falling right now.
Tracy Reese is an American Fashion Designer who graduated from the Parsons School of Design in 1984 and was inducted into the CFDA as one of its Board Member in 2007. For her fall 2011 runway show she has a flare in her designs that’s appealing to any woman from slim fitting to free flowing she brings it on. One thing about Ms. Reese is that she keeps femininity first in her designs.
Honeysuckle pink is everywhere from fashion to furniture and she nailed it with this slim fitting dress. I really like the dark fuchsia with the light pink petal abstract print on the dress. The versatility in this dress is so easy to see; from work to dancing this dress just works for all body shapes.

Love this look. It’s softness of the Dotted Swiss and satin fabrics meeting the edginess of the fur jacket. I would rock this outfit with a pair of dark gray boots or for a pop of color a dark teal or rust would be so rocker chic. The fur jacket has substance but not bulk so that’s right up my alley because I do not need any bulk. The clutch offers such a great contrast to the outfit that it kicks it up a notch. Another home run.

When I saw this dress I was singing singing Caribbean Queen by Billy Ocean. The color looks like a clear blue sea. I cannot rave enough how much I love the flow and color of this dress. Simply Beautiful! Gotta have it.

I wanted to show one more picture that’s sheer eye candy. I constantly hear that animal print is so hot. Well to me animal print has always been hot. Ms. Reese made this outfit edgy but soft at the same time. I would rock this to an evening event and I would also wear this outfit to church. So versatile and I feel that any woman would stand out with confidence in a crowd with this ensemble.

The Jewelry
I Love this outfit! The skirt to me is so pretty, the sequins. I really like the contrast of the cable knit of the sweater and the floral sequin combination in the skirt. I styled this outfit with two different pairs of shoes to show how versatile it can be.

Today is Day Five and I am feeling great about this 30 for 30. Here in the Lou we had an extra three to four inches of snow to fall unexpectedly and it look so pretty. I know a lot people are tired of the snow but it really doesn’t bother me at all. I have loved watching the snow fall and I really love playing in it. And you know when we get cold temperatures and snow it wards off a lot of bugs in the spring and summer so it’s for a reason. At least that what my Mother use to tell me.
Any hoo lets get to Day Five of 30 for 30!
I am loving how I styled this outfit, can’t you see the smile on my face. At first glance I thought the pattern of the sweater might clash with the skirt but it goes perfectly. I am really liking everything about it and really happy with my body shape. Did I say that? yes I sure did. I work out really hard so it feels good to love the way I look. Also, I really love my hair and how I can go from straight to curly, I can do so much with it and I get asked questions about products and how to take care of curly hair often.
Hats are a favorite of mine so I had to put one on because this had looks great on me in this outfit. One last thing I am really loving my eyelashes, they are growing so long. I will do a future post about what I a have been using lately for my lashes.

Melissa P of aworkingmomscloset.blogspot.com and Hope from Hope and the Dress Code http://hopeandthedresscode.blogspot.com/ started Fabulous in February and it’s good way for ladies to start feeling great about themselves since negativity is always the first thing that is said so I think this is a great idea. The challenge is every Monday for the month of February we have to say something good about ourselves in our regular post. Thanks Melissa and Hope!

Huffington Post
There’s been a lot of controversy over the Alexander McQueen dress that First Lady Michelle Obama wore at a White House formal dinner hosting Chinese President Hu Jintao. Yes, it was a European designer and the United States is trying to make ways to get the clothing industry back with so many jobs have been outsourced to foreign countries. In the past, Mrs. Obama has spotlighted up-and-coming American fashion designers. However, the remarks made by Sally Singer of T Magazine for the New York Times was completely unnecessary and out of line. Point blank.
On February 3rd Sally Singer said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe show that the dress did not fit or flatter Mrs. Obama well and that she was to old for the dress and it should of been worn by a younger diminutive woman. Younger and diminutive! OMG! Did I say OMG? Yes, OMG!
The video below spotlights Sally Singer’s opinion about the Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress for the first part of the video. It then delves off into men’s leggings.
%CODE1%
The First Lady looks awesome in the dress and for Ms. Singer to say that Mrs. Obama is too old to wear the dress is not only a harsh remark to all women over the age of 40. You mean to tell me that an over 40 diva cannot wear an off-the-shoulder, full-length dress? That is simply preposterous.

Diminutive
The First Lady is statuesque and holds her own in this dress. Why would she need to be diminutive? Why are we putting women in a box to be regurgitated out to be this specific size, height and shape?
Ms. Singer needs to think before she speaks because I noticed that no one in the video spot agreed with her. She was all by herself with that comment. When will we, as a society, feel freedom in being happy with what ever shape or size a woman is? To put a woman in a box to say she needs to look like this and be this height or weight continues the stereotyping and size bashing.
Enough is Enough…..
