HOW TO STYLE A DRESS SERIES, PART 2

83. That was the temperature today. It is crazy that on Saturday it was trying to spit snow. This weather is driving me nuts, I don’t know whether to wear short sleeves or a coat. I do try to be practical and keep a light cardigan or jacket in the car because you just never know at this time of year. Layering is the key and I usually start with a short sleeved garment and then start adding things such as a sweater, vest, blazer, etc. You can always take off the top layer if you get too hot.  My DIL, Kayla, was getting her hair cut so I got to babysit for a little while. Emersyn and I made a few stops before we went home. The first stop was TCBY Yogurt shop and we “had” to sit outside. Next, we found our way to Wal-Mart. Luckily for me, all she wanted was some popcorn and a movie to keep in my car. She chose The Secret Lives of Pets. We live only a few minutes for the Wal-Mart so the credits had barely got over before we made it home. She found a dive ring that we had played with at the pool and decided that we needed to fetch this thing all over the yard. She ran and ran and ran. She will be in bed really early tonight. Lol! What do you think about look #2? I know a few of you were uncomfortable with the length of the dress and this is the solution for you. I truly worried when I first bought the dress that it was too short but Joe assured me it wasn’t. Since I wear shorts that are shorter than this I guess he is right. When I wear this as a dress I just wear a short pair of volleyball or compression shorts under the dress. Think back to when you were a cheerleader or majorette and you wore the shorts under your outfit.

The bracelets are too cute. The arrow bracelet is the Dixie and the solid gold bangle has been retired. They left the two silver inscription bracelets, the Raelynn and the Abela, evidently silver sells better than gold. The cute watch bracelet didn’t make the cut either. ? Plunder just came out today with some Mother’s Day jewelry and I am loving all the bangles. Yes, I have already placed my orders. Lol!  These are all as pre-orders and they will ship out the first week of May. When you place your order it usually shows as back ordered until it is time to ship. I know I am getting the two bling bangles and the long silver necklace with the charms, but I can’t decide on the leather with the floral adornments. What do you think? BTW, all these will be found under the specials tab.

I closed the last party I had and we have moved on to plunderdesign.com/party/tania7 I love this scarf! I think it brightens every look because it is so cheery. The purples and the greens “POP” off the navy background. Good accessories can take an ordinary shirt or dress and take it over the top. Normally, accessories are fairly cheap. You can buy one accessory that can change the looks of several outfits or buy one top. The accessory makes the most sense.

How easy was this? The swing dress has now taken on the look of a tunic because I added a pair of navy leggings. This pair of leggings are not really cropped leggings but I still wanted the look of crop leggings. I just scrunched them up until I go them to the length I wanted and the crinkles are hidden under the dress. This gives me two looks from the same pair of leggings. It is all about getting the most bang for your buck.

I evidently forgot my purse for the picture but at least I put on my shoes. Flats again!!! This has to be a record for me. Haha! These are soooo old but I just can’t get rid of them. I love the color and I wear them all the time. The blue/green color seems to go with a lot of my spring and summer outfits.
