A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

I know all of you think my blog has been a little off this week. Some of you might even think my blog is a little off “most” weeks. Haha! I wanted to spend a little time with my family which I don’t get to visit with a lot so I haven’t been taking photos of my outfits. It is a little difficult to have a fashion blog without pictures but I am somehow managing. Today, I am going over a few of my favorite outfits from December and telling you what I like about each one.My Date Night Outfit is one of my favorite outfits. This outfit combined a few of my favorite style items. I like the easy, flowy swing dress style and I love leggings. The blanket scarf is a cute accessory that makes a HUGE impact and is super easy, and cheap, to wear. I think the real reason I love the outfit is because of the memory of a date night. That makes the outfit more special. My plunder jewelry is Raelynn, Abela, and the Wanda.

Faux fur vest is the perfect winter accessory, it adds warmth and tons of style. I think I like this outfit because of the color of the top. The deep color in the top just pops. I am not a huge fan of bootcut jeans but I wanted to mix up the look some. The wine colored booties also add a different look than my normal brown or black boots. The Plunder necklace with the material strips was a Plunder Posse purchase and not currently available unless you can find it on Ebay. The Annie and the “bling” bracelets are linked in this post in another look. My Ashton earrings are my favorite gold earrings from Plunder.

I love this outfit for its comfort level. This is such an easy, wear anywhere, outfit. The oversized cashmere top is soooooft. I love cashmere, especially when it only costs me $12.00. You gurls keep saying you are going to come shopping with me at the overstock stores. I am waiting…… My Plunder jewelry is comfortable as well. I am wearing a new necklace that is supposed to be one of their top sellers. It is called the Gabbie. I feel like I will wear this necklace a lot more in the summer months. The black cuff bracelet was a Halloween special purchase, but there is a brown one called Pippa that is identical. I wanted to add a little glamor to the outfit so I put on my Hugo bracelet for a little bling.

This outfit was one I liked for the message. Attitude and confidence are two attributes that I strive for. As we age our identities get lost along the way. We become wife, mommy, friend, waitress, employee, etc. Becoming “me” is something that can take a while to find. Empty nest, retirement, and menopause can take a toil on self-confidence. I love when I get emails from you telling me how you are getting compliments and that others are noticing your outfits. These are confidence building and your attitude will change about yourself. If you wear an outfit like this one you have to have attitude. The lipstick and the shoes are attitude adjustments. The velvet cropped blazer is from Cato Fashions, and it is on sale. The Plunder accessories are three bling bracelets, (Gage, Kylie, and Hugo) and the Joey and Annie necklaces.
