Good Morning friendsThere is nothing like Fall. I love it, it has always been my favorite season as i love the chill in the air, the changing of leaves, hiking, camping, and wearing Fall Fashion. As you think of Fall and Fall hues, what colors spring to mind? I know I love most of Fall's shades as they tend to compliment my hair and skin tone. If you missed the Pantone Institute colors for this season, see my post HERE.
( this outfit- this tweed jacket was from LaFayetteNY149- I bought on Poshmark-originally $250, I paid $50, and my Rebecca minkoff bag - bought on eEbay)TGIF Friends!One thing i know about this time of year, is that it is my favorite time for styling outfits. I love that you can be creative with layering, prints, color choices, and love the fabrics associated with Fall-tweed, leather, cashmere, velvet... If you were to look at my closet, you would assume I am from the North as the have more fall/winter clothes than I do Spring/Summer. I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA, but have been living in Charlotte for 15 years now. Dressing for this season ( or any other) doesn't have to cost a fortune, even as a Fashion blogger, if you know where to look for deals!
Hello friends Happy Halloween! Some Halloween decor was the best I could do this year. I have been recuperating from the Asheville trip, so I will look forward to seeing your costumes if you dress up. I had dry needling yesterday and didn't want to really dress up as the human pin cushion . We did have so much fun as kids though, as my mom made all of our costumes. So, since there are no tricks this year, I decided to bring you a "Treat" and introduce you to a Luxury accessories brand out of the UK, BLACK.
Hello friends,I hope you all had a happy weekend. It is finally getting chilly here in Charlotte, and I love it! I do enjoy the sun, as it has a positive effect on my mood, but there is nothing like the Fall chill in the air for sleeping too. I won't delve into this topic too much, but having or nearing menopause, I am nearly almost always hot, or warm. So, i love being cold at night and getting cozy under the covers. It just makes for better sleep. On a fashion note, I am talking about the trend for Fall-Velvet. I have quite a few velvet pieces in my wardrobe, and this is the styling of one piece and a sample from last year.
Happy Friday ladies,It is hard to believe it is almost November, as it seems like the months go quickly by as we head to the Holidays. I have been thinking about this subject for awhile, thinking about what makes me fulfilled at this stage in life. The true meaning is "being satisfied or happy because of fully developing one's abilities or character."
( mountain house we stayed in)Morning Ladies,We just got back from Asheville and I am exhausted! We did so much in a week. I wanted to share some of the things we did and enjoyed in this mountain town. Since we just got back, i am playing a bit of "catch up'. I apologize I couldn't get to your posts last week, but i really was computer free, and it felt a bit refreshing! Just needed some time with family to recharge.
Hello friends,Jambu. Sounds like a dance right? What would you have guessed if you didn't know the Brand? Well, because there is a good ring to the name, and because it sounds like a dance, I think it is very aprapo, especially when you wear their shoes/boots and you "could" dance... they are that comfortable! Today I am talking about a booties called the AMAL. Also, for my READERS KEEP IN MIND , YOU CAN GET 20% OFF AT JAMBU, WITH CODE STYLISH17.
TGIF Everyone!I am getting ready to head soon to Asheville, as I mentioned. My nephew is getting married and our family is headed there to hang out for the week in a lovely rented house. SO, today i thought it would be fun to compile some Fall outfit pictures from when I began the blog in early 2014 to this fall. Yes, this Feb Elegantly Dressed will be 4 yrs old! So, have a cup a joe, or a glass of vino and enjoy the read/pics. :-)
