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.
COBALT




















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.

PURPLE
























They are on trend for Spring and Fall.
BLACK






















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?

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.

What do you think of this dress?
What would you wear with it?

I have been searching for a perfect green dress for about 2 years.
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.

I wanted to take the time to thank all of my loyal followers for continuing to stick with me despite my lack of consistent posts. Sometimes it is easy to get into a funk and not document what one is wearing.

I finally got around to wearing my blue mock wrap dress which I purchased from metrostyle.com

Outfit Of The Day OOTD - Sunday Going To Meeting

My biggest challenge is making sure that my hair and makeup are conservative.
In my culture, we tend to show out, but it is not always appropriate to do that. *smiles*
