Getting ready to walk into my church. Feelin' like I look and lookin' like I feel!

Happy Resurrection/Easter Sunday, y’all!!!! OMG! I had an awesome day, that began with an awesome church service and ended with an awesome dinner with loved ones.  The day was beautiful; just perfect weather and it made me feel RESURRECTED! Gone are the long, dreary days of winter. Coats are banished to the dry cleaners or the back of the closet.  Bare legs and opened toed shoes are visible everywhere. YAY!!!!

I felt really good and I felt like I looked really good (someone said I looked like a modern day “Mary Poppins”,  but I just looked at him like he was crazy!) I had been planning this outfit (not necessarily for the holiday) for weeks and I think it came off well.  Tell me what you think. 

*Note that I am continuing to add more color to my life. Hi-five me!*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Me love color long time! April 15, 2011

Hey y’all! It has been so long since I did a post!  I am excited about spring/summer and have just been enjoying the warmer temps.  Anywhoo, I have mentioned in previous posts, that I want to add more color to my wardrobe.  I tend to stick to black and black is my favcrite color, but I was really intrigued by the pops of color I was seeing all over the place.  I decided to pick up colorful pieces, where I could, and try out a different look.

Now the outfit above, is one I wore to work on yesterday.   

The shoes got a little dusty when I walked thru the staff parking lot, but they are still super cute and I got a lot of compliments on them.

I got the shoes about a month ago, while shopping with a friend at Macy’s.  I saw them on another young lady in the shoe dept. and begged her to buy those shoes for herself, because they were gorgeous on her.  I thought about it and said to myself, “Step out of the box and see if they have the shoes in your size!”  You see the result.  The coral top, similar story. Standing in line at Dots, the woman in front of me had the top in her hand and I asked her if it was plus size (she was kind of in-between. She could go XL or 1X *shrug*).  She said, “Yes” and pointed me to the back of the store where they were hanging.  I grabbed my cute wedges I was picking up (the one and only 11 in the store) and hustled to the back to find my size.  The rest is history.

So……….this is my attempt at A) adding color to my life and B) doing a color block thing.  I have to say, I am really loving wearing color,  doing some new things with my wardrobe, and stepping outside of my black box.  Tell me what you think, people.
