30 Jul A Little Leopard

Hi Ladies! ( Warning: this following post will make you hungry for fashion and food!)

Ahhh. The temps have finally cooled down to the mid 80s and the humidity is lower, so my hubby and I went to one of our favorite hangouts, Port City Club, where we haven’t dined in a month.I was feeling in the mood for a little leopard today and put together this ensemble.

Ah, it was such a nice day out today. I big change for the humid cut through the air heat we were having for what seemed like a month! One could literally step outside and start sweating before there was any activity! Today it was about 83 and with a breeze. We sat outside and enjoyed a delicious meal. Be prepared I am going to make you hungry! I had a crab meat, shrimp, spinach, onion, two cheese flatbread, in other words, a fancy pizza with a delicious bottle of Italian Pinot Grigio with my husband. He enjoyed a Po’Boy with fries, but I say no! to oysters. This was the restaurant where one of the Hell’s Kitchen Chefs ended up, and are we pleased.

We enjoy looking at the lake, admiring the view as this feels so much like a resort town, one can take it for granted! I want to let you know it is not our boat we are standing by, but it seems I am awaiting a day out on the Lake in a boat on Lake Norman, that was postponed due to my health! All I can say, is I love to be out on the water!

Now as far as what is on the fashion Menu today, I have a little bit of leopard, as accessories, and shoes that are both comfortable and in style. I paired it with a black peplum top with sheer detailing on the back, antique black earrings, and white shorts. You know me and my bags, so this one made it’s way out of the closet to pick up on the leopard print.

Enjoy your week!

    I’ve been looking for a scarf like this for YEARS. Seriously. Everytime I pass a scarf vendor I pray to find a leopard one (usually I do but it’s always something kind of ugly). Love it.

    Those shoes are amazing! They look more comfortable than TOMS (they pinch my toes) these look like comfy fun slip on sneakers that I would never ever ever want to take off! Love how you were oh-so-chic and tied them in with the scarf. Really great outfit for outdoor dining on the water! Looking good!
