YOUR STYLE CAN CHANGE OVER THE YEARS

Some outfits make me happy, and this is one of them! This is an outfit that I know is beautiful, chic, stylish, and a showstopper, and I will wear it with confidence in my appearance. For someone who never used to wear red, this is a giant leap and just shows you that your style can change over the years.

Red is a color that draws attention, and I wouldn’t wear that color because I didn’t want people to look at me. I am a somewhat shy person, so drawing attention to myself can be unnerving. Most of you might think that I’ve gotten over my shyness, but that’s not entirely true. It is easier for me to be outgoing behind a computer, but I am still on the shy side in person. However, I have gotten over the “someone’s looking at me” fear. Taking photos of yourself in public will get you over that fear quickly. Lol!!!

I might as well start with the star of the outfit, the spiced red sweater sleeve jacket. Oh, my stars!!! This plush jacket is one that you will wear all fall and winter. The color is gorgeous, and the fit of the jacket is perfect. I’m so in love with this jacket for the fit, but also the style. I love the open-front style and the gold-angled zippers. Plus, the length of the jacket is perfect for a dressier look, but the jacket also looks great with jeans.

I debated what size to order since I knew that I would be wearing the jacket over shirts and sweaters in the winter. I ended up ordering a size 1, and I am thrilled with the fit of the jacket. Usually, I am between a 10 – 12, but a size 1 fits me great.

If there is a co-star of this outfit, then it would be this paisley mockneck sleeveless top. The paisley design has always been one that I gravitate toward, and I think it is a classic print. The colors of this top are classic, and you will be able to wear this in many different ways. I love a sleeveless layering piece since you don’t have to worry about the sleeves bunching under the completer piece. I am wearing a size 2 top because I wanted to ensure that it didn’t show any lumps and bumps.

Here is the back view so that you can see the length of the top.

And, here is a look at the top by itself. You could wear this top in the spring and summer without a completer piece if you wanted.

If you do not have a nice pair of black dress pants, then you are in luck because these are the pants for you. These Juliet side-vent ankle pants are gorgeous, and the pants look and feel like a million bucks. I thought the Perfect Back Seam Ponte pants from Spanx couldn’t be beaten when it came to Ponte dress pants, but they have met their match.

The Spanx pants are thicker and heavier, but these Juliet pants are flowier and feel more dressy. Spanx is well known for its “holding you in” fit, but these have a Hidden Fit panel that smooths your shape and trims your tummy. Either pair of pants is a great choice, but this pair is almost $50 cheaper. I am wearing a size 1, and the fit is spot on!

I’m wearing my AVI large gold hoop earrings and Fallyn cuff bracelet. I thought that the gold in the earrings and bracelet went well with the gold zipper on the jacket. I’ve had these black leather pumps for years, and I’ll wear them for several years more. A black pump is a classic style, and I’ll link to similar options.

Thanks, everyone, for all of the suggestions on dealing with plantar fasciitis. I’m going to try some of these suggestions in the hopes that I can fix the issue without having to get a shot.
