Like Rachel Roy, I’m thankful I grew up the way I did.  It made me a hard worker and insightful to other people’s lives.  I was raised to say please and thank you.  To be kind to others.  To work hard and it will pay off.  I’m a firm believer in supporting those who support you.  I’m grateful for everyone who takes the time to read my blog, like my content on Instagram as well as sharing it on Facebook. It means the world to me.  On the heels of my collaboration post on plus size spring trends.  I now present to you the perfect spring suit.

First off I must say these suit is giving me all the feelings.  I’m feeling powerful, beautiful, sexy, confident, and of course a woman.  Oh yeah, I will so comfortable.  The design of this suit is everything I needed.  It’s a perfect combination of form and function.  In other words, it’s a modern-day power suit!

Rachel Roy designed floral-print sailor blazer and matching printed jogger pants have a beautiful wispy, watercolor florals print.  The blazer enlivens this polished overlay, styled with a solid shawl collar and functional flap pockets.  The blazer design also includes a single-button closure, buttoned cuffs, and hits at the hip.  The printed jogger pants flaunt a high-style look and styled with a banded hem and contrasting panels at the sides.  The joggers are mid rise; straight fit through hips and thighs; straight leg.  They also include a front zipper closure and my favorite thing in the whole world, pockets!!!

I know everyone is not comfortable with print on print.  This look can be easily worn separately.  The sailor blazer can be paired with a tee and jeans for a perfect brunch look.  I choose to wear heels but the jogger pants can be worn with some tennies and a blouse for a Sunday Funday look.

HOW TO DRESS FOR BRUNCH

Posted in FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION & BEAUTY, LIFESTYLETagged , , , , , , , , , , , , 12 Comments

Brunch OUTFIT
“Brunch is not a meal. Brunch is a competition. And I’m winning. ” _Matt Bellasai

.

Brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch eaten usually during the late morning to early afternoon, generally served from 11 am up to 3pm.  The word is a portmanteau of breakfast and lunch Brunch originated in England in the late 19th century and became popular in the United States in the 1930s.

For me it’s a reason to dress up,  eat well and slip champagne with my girls.  Dressing well while having the goal of eating and drinking can be a little hard when it’s not a dinner event.  Daytime fashion can have you thinking am I overdressed?   Am I underdressed?
Well here’s my example of dressed up causal.   The top is trending while the distress look.  The skirt is encircled with knife pleats, an effortless midi skirt fashioned from blush-colored lamé gleams with molten shine and is available up to size 3x or 24w.  In this Rachel Roy Pleat Lamé Skirt I’m wearing a size 2X.   I could have gotten a 1X.  It’s not to big because of the hidden zipping detailing.  I added a patent leather belt, neutral metallic shoe and a fun bag.  I’m ready for the required snapchat photoshoot or shopping after brunch.

What’s your favorite place to have brunch?  Do you dress up?  Do you dress down?

MIXED MEDIA SWEATER DRESS | PLAYING WITH FASHION

“I’ll stop wearing black when they make a darker color.” _ Wednesday Addams

.

“Monday’s Child” is one of many popular as nursery rhymes for children. It is supposed to tell a child’s character or future based on the day of birth and to help young children remember the seven days of the week. As with all nursery rhymes, there are many versions.  Below is one of the common modern versions.

Monday’s child is fair of face,

Tuesday’s child is full of grace,

Wednesday’s child is full of woe,

Thursday’s child has far to go,

Friday’s child is loving and giving,

Saturday’s child works hard for a living,

But the child who is born on the Sabbath dayIs bonnie and blithe and good and gay.

What if Wednesday’s child wasn’t  full of woe.  What is Wednesday’s child was just a little mixed up like my dress?  I have my dress on backwards.  Shhhhhhhh don’t tell anyone, lol.  This Rachel Roy MIXED MEDIA SWEATER DRESS has such beautiful button details I just had to put them on display.  I knew from the first time I tried this cutie on I was going to wear the button in the front.  That’s one of the great things about fashion,  You can play around with it.  Sometimes you’ll have hits and sometime you’ll have misses.  Taking the chance on wearing the buttons in the front for me was a real hit!  The ever flattering fit and flare silhouette works very well with the ruffle above the knee hemline.  That same ruffle detailing and mesh details at the shoulders is nothing less than the basic black dress upgrade.  Rachel Roy’s MIXED MEDIA SWEATER DRESS V neckline works great for the office in heels or on the weekend paired with oxfords.

Clothing should be fun and show your personality.  This dress can be done up so many ways.  I can see a curvy girl rocking a look with pearls with Breakfast At Tiffany’s as inspiration.   I was really feeling, black dress icon, Wednesday Friday Addams vibes.   I decided to do very nude makeup application as a homage to the pale one.  If you were wondering no I’m not a Wednesday’s child.  I’m a Saturday’s child that works hard for a living!  What’s child are you?  Do you like how I played with this gorgeous dress by wearing it backwards with the buttons in the front?  Would you wear it this way?  How do you play around with fashion?

In honor of Women history month I wanted to shine a light on fashion designer and girl genius Rachel Roy and her wish to HELP THE CHILDREN OF SYRIA!  Rachel has set a goal to raise $20,000 for World of Children in or to help in assisting the over 2.7 million children across Syria.  Many of whom schools have been destroyed by continuous missile attacks in addition to having as few as 31 doctors left to care for a quarter of a million people left in the region.

Please note that in giving to World of Children their focuses is solely on children.  100% of your gift goes to the children because their Board of Governors covers all other costs.

Help girl genius Rachel Roy make her goal.  You can visit rachelroy.com to see how a gift to the World of Children can help.  No gift is to small!  A donation of $15 could help a child get medication*  for an entire week.
