CHARACTER AND CLASS

You might have read where I told how Joe describes my look, “Classy with a little Trashy.” His meaning is a classic look, but with a little sex appeal thrown it. Lol! I have been referring to my look a little differently. I now say it is, “Sassy, Classy & A Little Smart A**ey.” HahahaI have gotten a lot of comments since I started this blog 9 months ago, about how you are able to draw inspiration from my posts. You have no idea how good that makes me feel!? Some of you have mentioned problems that might be related to body issues, age issues, or are just confused which way to turn. I know exactly how you feel, it is not easy going from one stage in your life to another. You have a mind set of how and what you are supposed to do and look like. How are you supposed to dress? How are you supposed to feel? Here is the wonderful part…..it is all up to YOU!

In church the other day, my preacher talked about character. He said that character is how you act when no one is looking. The face you put on in the public eye, being sweet or kind, but only for show is not the mark of a good character. On the other hand, I think classy is how you act when you are “in” public.

How do you treat the waiter at lunch? What do you do with a shopping cart after you are finished shopping? Do you remember to thank those who have nothing to give to you in return? These might seem like strange questions considering you are on a fashion blog. But, believe it or not, your character shows in your outfit choices.

So, for all those “S” words you used to described my blog (here), I am well pleased. I will gladly take sassy, sexy, sweet, sincere, stylish, and sophisticated as my descriptions!!!First things first, you can’t take your eye off this incredible top. This is such a wonderful top! It is eye catching, it is sleek and silky, and it is a classic navy & white print. This top is by Dennis Basso, yep that is the “fur” guy from QVC with the deep gruff voice. Haha I couldn’t grab it off the rack fast enough, and I looked with fingers crossed, at the size.

I love the long necklace with the large pearl drop. It is a little hard to see because of the print of the top. The necklace is designed to attach a pendant to the bottom of the pearl. I attached my bling T that I already had. I also wore the large pearl bauble bracelet to match. The feather and pearl bracelet seemed to fit with the pearl theme, so I grabbed it as well.I thought the outfit need a little pop of color, so I went with a bright pink lip stain and a matching tote. The leather tote is a Vera Bradley, and I picked it up at the Premium Outlets in Orlando, Florida this past Spring.

After a little white, I got tired of trying to keep the half-tuck looking good, so I went with the un-tucked look the rest of the day. It was all good! HahaFinally, the stretch pull-on white ankle pants, which are a MUST for summer. Come on gurls, I don’t care if they do get dirty easy, you have to have a pair of white pants, capris, of shorts. You just MUST! These were from TJ Maxx a couple years ago, but any pair will do.

You can pick sassy, and stylish, or you can choose a completely different letter of the alphabet. It is your choice! Just remember to stay away from some “S” words. Sad, sloppy, and sleazy are not words that describe me, and don’t let them describe you either.
