In Reverse

As I was browsing through http://www.reverse-reverse.com/ I came across these three items that would make a great outfit.  The white biker jacket over the grey tank tiered ruffle dress with flat bone colored sandal, is very casual yet if you change the shoes to a wedge you can make it a little more dressy.

The total cost of this outfit is  $234, all of these pieces can be used with other accessories and outfits, the possibilites are endless.

MK2K Biker Jacket in White $74

Candela Loro Sandal in Bone $76

Clu Pleated Skirt Tank Dress $84

Absence

Okay I know probably no one is reading my blog, and that is okay, but if you were I have been absent about a week and half.  A family friend's son passed away in a car wreck so I haven't been in the blogging mood, but if you are reading my blog I will get back to it this next week.  So for all of you having great weather, go outside and enjoy the sunshine!

Black & White Patterns

Today is Monday, and I usually don't wear casual clothing to my work, but our shipping/receiving guy is on vacation and for some reason I am his back up, you think a girl in 5 inch heels pushing around a pallet jack is kind of ludicrias.  Usually I don't get advanced knowledge of his days off, but this time I was well ahead of the situation.  I came to work in boyfriend jeans, a black & white striped sweater and a black & white houndstooth cardigan on top and black leather pointy toe flats.  These patterns seem to work really well together, I haven't worn them together before, but I will again.  This pic is awful and my husband was busy so I couldn't get some assistance in snapping so pics so it will have to do. 

I am still in the process of losing weight, I have lost a lot already and I know you probably thinking where, but one of these days I will do a before and after of what I looked like when I began, but for now I am loving the body I have.  It is not perfect by any means but I work with what I have right now and strive to get where I feel healthy.  I never have felt like I have to lose weight to look good, but I want to be healthy for my family and for myself.

Happy Monday!!!

Windy Hill

Here is my first outfit pic, it is sunday and my husband and I were strolling along our little village, we live in central texas in a place which is not even called a town, it is actually a village, it is a place where there are great little shops, antique places, art galleries and the like.  During most parts of the year people come and stay at the little bed and breakfast places and stroll the town looking for things they can't live without.  Today I purchased a ring from a antique dealer who was having a sale.  The ring I bought has an eagle on it, see pic below, with mexico turquoise.  So cool.  I also put some pics of some of the places we visited.  I hope your weekend was tranquil and wonderful. 

This isn't a really good pic, but my husband was wanting to head home at this point because the wind was picking up alot, making the temperature a lot cooler. 

Twelveth of Eleven Tee

Charlotte Russe Zip Up Cardigan

Ana Distressed Jeans

Eagle Turquoise Ring

These pics are of the some of the antique places we browsed through today. 

This is a backyard that you can overlook from the bridge in the next pic.  Of course a troll overlooks most bridges right.

I love these old photos of people and places, it makes me wonder what it would be like if I was there.  It shows that people have been fashionable for as long as humans have been around.

Spring Dreaming

Okay I am really craving Spring, everything I look at online or in stores is saying don't wear a coat, go ahead and wear that short sleeve dress, you will be fine, but then I go outside and okay my mind is playing tricks on me.  Anyway, these are a few of the items I want to get, or something at least similar to the ones listed below:

This Antipodium Dream Lovers Dress in Starry Night is so fantastic, I want to buy this so badly.  It is on sale at reverse-reverse.com for $167 this is good deal.

This week has been hectic and I have not had a chance to post some outfit pics so I promise to post some pics this week.

Snow Day

I live in Central Texas and it does not snow very often, the last time, it was on Easter two years ago, weird I know, but my children where estatic when I dropped them off at school on Tuesday because the snow was really coming down and they could not wait until school was over so they could throw a snowball at me and at each other.   Well when the school closed at 1:00 that day they were ready.    We came home and then bundled up and here are some of the pics we took that day.  The snow has already left but my children will remember that for a while.  They pegged their dad really good, I didn't get a picture of it, bummer.

Have a great day, post some outfit pics tomorrow.

Bliss

My shoes showed up and I couldn't wait to tear open the package, they are beautiful, sometimes you see something on line and you think oh.... I have to have those, and then you get them and they are okay, but your thinking the picture made them look so good, but these really lived up to my expectations.  They are also comfortable, and I know you probably thinking how can they be, but because the have a higher platform than normal stilletos it is easier to be on them longer. 

I couldn't wait to try them on, here they are, I will put some full pics together of what I wear with them next week.  Have a great Friday Night!!!!!!!!!

Wishes.....

Surfing the web and looking at online stores and fashion houses sites can be detrimental to my pocket book, but I can't help looking.  Dreams are made of these kind of mental moments where we all like to play like we are rich and we can purchase whatever we want.  Well I have had one of those days, it was a very long work day and I needed a distraction.  Here are the things I want right now to wear tomorrow:

Well all great dreams have to come to an end, I will still throw a coin into the well and wish these were all in my closet right now, it could happen.....

Have a great night.

JAWS

Shoes are my weakness

I will admit it, I love shoes. My husband tells me that I have too many pairs of shoes as it is, but a woman can never have to many shoes. I have recently purchase 3 new pairs, I am always drawn to black shoes for some reason, I do tend to wear a lot of black, but since it is a natural you can usually match a black shoe to what you are wearing. I love expensive shoes, yes I do, but I usually purchase shoes that are reasonably priced.

The two shoes I just ordered which are in transit as we speak (I cannot wait to wear them) are below. I am drawn to high heels, my husband gives me a hard time sometimes about wearing them since I have to walk up and down stairs in my job but I can't resist them, they are sexy.

Do you ever look at a pair of shoes and smile, I do, I can imagine all of the dresses and outfits I am going to wear them, what they will look like at different times of the day. Yes I know you might think I am crazy but I am sure there are other women out there who like shoes just as much as I do.

Here are the two pairs I just bought from www.Cutesygirl.com

This pair is by Anna Michelle called Arrogant86

This pair is by Anna Michelle called HotShot04




I can't wait to wear a pencil skirt with these.

Have a great day.

My Eyes

I have grey eyes.... just run of the mill grey eyes, but for some reason people seem compelled to tell me that they are wild looking, crazy, intense, devoid.

When I am feeling sexy, happy, sad or mad it is very easy to see, my eyes are like the viewfinder to the world on how I am feeling.

When I was little I was in a choir and people would come up to me after the program and tell me how they enjoyed my singing, I was singing with 90 other girls so they really couldn't hear my by myself. One woman told me it was my eyes, they were like crystals. Weird I know.

I so like the unexpected and that is usually what my life consist of, from one moment to the next I never know what is going to happen and maybe that is why they tell me I have wild eyes, because I am wild at heart, never giving in... to the mundane.....
