I dress to feel good. Feel sassy. Feel sophisticated. Feel sexy. Feel confident. And sometimes it's the little details that make an outfit pop. Such is the case with this whipstitch skirt. I pulled this look to wear out to dinner, to a conference, to a business meeting, even out on a date. This skirt, from Versona, is faux suede and drapes so easy on my body. I couldn't pass it up with the retro feel of the whipstitch and the front slit … [Read more...]
Wear This: The Bomber Jacket
Last week I shared one of my favorite looks. The pencil skirt and the bomber jacket. Remember it? See it HERE. I've actually been wearing my bombers for a while now. I started getting a few at the beginning of the summer and I knew it was going to be the one thing we'd want to have this fall. It's the perfect transition piece and it can be so versatile. AND.... it's a blast from the past. 80's is here! YES! My time! So to … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Statement Earrings
There are a few things I don't get rid of in my wardrobe. Bags, accessories, and good shoes. And jewelry falls into the accessories category. What comes around goes around. Statement earrings are about to make their statement back into the fashion scene. I had some huge earrings back in the day... with bangs to match! HA! If you only could see my jewelry boxes of what I have saved, you'd flip! What I love about this that I'm sharing today … [Read more...]
All Choked Up
One of my favorite outfits in high school, I remember it vividly, was a light pink button down loose fitting rayon blouse, a white mini skirt, and a brass choker. Big bangs were an extra free perk to go along with it! Believe it or not I can't remember the shoes, but I DO vividly remember this brass heavy choker, and what I wouldn't give to still have it now! They're back. What comes around goes around. And seriously you guys, when I said … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Fringe Skirt and Geometric Prints
Traveling and feeling sassy all in one sweep, and definitely what we wear plays a role in how we feel. So going back to my hometown of Chicago, I wanted to be Miss Sassypants while scoping out the city. Don't get me wrong, our city of Oklahoma City, is beautiful and booming, but that Chicago gets me all choked up every time! It's SO fabulous, you don't even KNOW unless you've been. I had to throw on one of this seasons hottest … [Read more...]
Belt Bags: The New Fanny Packs
Many of you might have been just little girls back when the fanny pack made its debut in the 80's. Then there were those of us who were old enough to actually HAVE one. Who remembers that? Not long ago I did a post on some shorts I think that will be making a comeback, too. You can see that HERE. Well, I will say, it wasn't something I loved back then, BUT fancy those bad boys up, change up the name to "Belt Bags" as they're called today, … [Read more...]
Feelin Retro.
After going to the Duran Duran concert last night, still in awe of the Fab Five that I drooled over in jr. high, I couldn't stop singing "The Reflex" all day. So in honor of my nostalgia, I thought I'd share a little retro inspired photo shoot done for Oyster's 100th issue retro story. These images spoke to me. A little Melanie Griffith, "Working Girl" inspired, early 80's. images via … [Read more...]
