Fab Fashion Find - Blazers
I happened upon some clearance plus sized blazers at my local SEARS.
Apparently they were overlooked in the stockroom and they wanted to get rid of them, so they set a price point of $3.99! The original price for each of them was $44.00.
Of course I grabbed one in each of the colors available.
Although they are not lined, they do have ruched 3/4 length sleeves and faux pockets on the front. The lapel is not too wide. I plan to wear mine with t-shirts, and jeans. They even dress up a button down shirt or can be worn over a dress. I find them great for hot days where the airconditioning is bone chilling.
They are on trend for Spring and Fall.
Do you own any Blazers?
Which color is your favorite?

Funky Platform Booties
I was thrilled to have seen these cuties on sale during an impromptu visit to
my local Ashley Stewart.
The redline clearance is 50% off the hardmarked price. I was able to snag these for $23.99.
Often I see such styles at my local Bare Feet Shoes. However I do not buy them because they do not carry wide. The shoe SNOB in me tends to stay away from shoes that do not come in a box. Let alone shoes that are clipped to a peg. But I figured I would indulge myself this time for the sake of fashion. Shoe lovers can justify any new shoe purchase.
I elected to get size 11 as my heels jut out in the back like Foghorn Leghorn. I did not my normal size ten would cut the mustard.
I cannot wait to wear these. I'm not sure where I will wear them, but I will.
I should go back and buy them in red.
You may still be able to purchase the black pair from the website. However the price will not be as good as in store.
Which pair do you like better?
Would you wear these shoes?

Scarf Of The Day
Blackberry Pic |
I was looking at this lovely Amaryllis Red scarf on the OldNavy website for about two months. It went on sale for $12.00.
I finally gave myself permission to purchase it along with some tanks.
I love it because it is so vibrant! NYX EROS lipstick is a perfect compliment to it.

Killer Striped Dress with Front Rouching
I sent this pic to hubby asking if I could buy it because it was on sale. Of course he said, "Yes." I am usually pretty conservative. I have been watching this dress for a month and waiting for it to go on sale.
I will definitely be wearing it with a sweater.
I'm not ready for all of the attention I am sure I will get.
It has been a while since I bought myself a dress.
It just felt like the time was right.
I purchased it in-store at Ashley Stewart. It was a bargain at for $24.97. The original price was $39.50.
Here is a link to the website. http://www.ashleystewart.com.
It is currently sold out on line. However you may still be able to find it in stores.

Funky Leopard Pumps
I love animal print. I'm not one of those ladies who would wear a ton of it all at once. I would add just one item of animal print with an outfit to give it some flavor.
I tried on these shoes today.
Ashby Calf Hair High Heel.
The heel is not too high at 3 1/2".
Features:
•Breathable leather sockliner
•Cushion-comfort footbed
•Non-slip suede heel counter
•Refined leather outsole
They are very well crafted. However they do not come in wide. I would prefer a wider shoe. The only way I can see myself wearing these is if I cut off my baby toe. That's not going to happen. What do you think of these shoes.
I'm on the hunt for a comparable replacement that comes in a wide width.
These can be purchased at http://www.landsend.com for $120.00.
They come in sizes 6.5 to 10. They can currently be purchased in Lands' End shops in Sears.
They are 25% off until Tuesday 8/28/12.

I wanted something flattering, comfortable and modern.
I purchased this dress from landsend.com.
The scoop neck was very complimentary on me as I am top heavy.
Hence the reason you will rarely see me in a full body shot unless I am wearing a jacket or a sweater. I had a co-worker snap a full body shot of me in this dress. Let's just say, we were all laughing because we agreed that it looked like there were two little people in the top of my dress. As I often tell my clients, "We all have our blessings in various places."
I found the sleeves to be a good length. I love the blend of materials in the fabric. It is very breathable.
The Modal allows the cotton to retain it's shape.
I wore it with the belt. I received many compliments.
Usually when I like something, I buy it in at least two colors.
This dress is available in ASPARAGUS, WILD CHERRY,
BLACK, and REGENT.
I would love it in black. One can never have too many black dresses.
I know I will be enjoying wearing this dress this summer.

Gauzy and light for summer.
I could totally use it as a wrap.
I couldn't wait for it to go on sale.
Yes, it's a Lands' End scarf.
I'm obsessed. You might also not I'm obsessed with the Enamel Green t-shirt. This was a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday excursion to the movies.
We saw The Avengers. Too many explosions! A definite guy movie. The hulk stole the show.

The colors in the scarf put me in the mind of these daisies I photographed the other day!

My biggest challenge is making sure that my hair and makeup are conservative.

Spring Green - Outfit Of The Day - OOTD
I am so eager for temperatures to increase in my region. Although the calendar says it is officially Spring, brrrrr temperatures were in the 40s today. We are expecting freezing rain and possibly snow tonight.
I am really looking forward to warmer weather so I can play around with brighter eyeshadow looks.
I could not wait to rock the funky Feather Earrings. Beauty Supply Find $1.
I was inspired by
AleciaReneeMua of YouTube to do the eyeshadow look

Funky Metallic Boots
These are a few years old.
I got them from MACY's.
They are leather mid-calf boots.
I bought the silver pair first and called around to see who had the gold ones.
I took a 2 hour bus ride to get them.
They were on sale for $30 after-all! .
Pointy toes make them 2 hour shoes. Yes, I'll need a ride wherever we are going.
I hope I can sit down for most of the time while we are there.
The things we do for beauty! *laughing*
As stored with sequined handbags underneath in my Joy Mangano Stackable Drawer.
I took a break from shoes and boots for about five years. The past two years, I have focused on practical and comfortable shoes.
I need to step up my game again.

As stored with sequined handbags underneath in my Joy Mangano Stackable Drawer.
I took a break from shoes and boots for about five years. The past two years, I have focused on practical and comfortable shoes.
I need to step up my game again.
