This is just a quick post of the weekend OOTD's.  It was a weekend filled of errands, shopping & girl time with one of good friends.  Never a dull moment and definitely always a reason to get dressed as you never know what the day will bring.  As I always say everyday is a great occasion to get dressed; so if it seems that I may not hold back, you are absolutely right, because if I waited for a special day or event to wear some things, they may never make it out of my closet.  So here is peek at a couple days wardrobe ensembles.

There is something bold, sexy and powerful about wearing all black! Today I decided to express my inner bad mamma jamma with a very sleek yet edgy all black ensemble with touches of gold.   If you want something timeless and flattering in your wardrobe, be sure to invest in a couple great wrap dresses.  They are a simple design that streamlines curves and looks good on most everybody.  If you are a regular jet setter, they are great for travel wardrobe items, as they are fit for many occasions and take up minimal room in your suitcase! Once I again I got to pieced in two of my favorite wardrobe items, a leather jacket and knee high boots, with a cute and simple yet chic looking faux wrap LBD (little black dress).  It was a very simple pairing that made a powerful statement.  This outfit had me ready to handle everything from business on down to a evening out on the town had the opportunity presented itself.  My motto is, "stay ready so you don't have ...

Something things just speak for themselves!  I don't care what the season is there is something about a vibrant white dress that simply makes a bold statement.  I was feeling happy about waking up today and grateful for being granted another day of life so I wanted my outfit to reflect that.  The sun was shining bright and I decided to match it with this black and white cap sleeve dress by Peter Nygard.  I love this dress because there is a simple yet bold elegance to it that definitely gives it a wow factor.  As I always say, when you look good you feel good and this dress definitely gave me the boost of sunshine today.   Take a peek at my OOTD.

Today's post is going to be short and sweet.  A basic pencil skirt and cardigan are a quick and easy way to go on any given day.  Today I didn't really have a desire to wear anything special so when in doubt,  I go with the basics.  There's not much effort needed to complete the look, just add a great tank and a couple accessories and you can create a  simple yet chic look that is polished and professional enough for what ever comes your way.  Here's a peek at today's OOTD.

One of my favorite colors during this time of year is hunter green.  As the weather begins to cool and the holiday season rolls in, something about this color puts me in a warm spirit.  I can never find it as often as I like but when I do I am sure to snatch it up as it is a very flattering color on brown skin tones. I found this great dress at the Dillard's clearance center on one of my random shopping days that I was on the hunt for something else.  I was actually looking for another dress in the same color and had no luck, but then this little Kenneth Cole number jumped out at me and I was so excited.  I love the zipper detail in the back, as it adds a nice accent to a simple body flattering dress.  Sometimes it doesn't take much to make a powerful statement and this dress does the trick.  From the color, to the detail, to the fit, I know that I found a classic and timeless piece that will have a place in my closet for awhile. I completed this outfit...
