What 2 Wear: Holiday Tea-tastic
What do you wear when you are invited to a tea? Well a hat of course! I had the honor of pulling together a holiday tea for the women's ministry at my church and luckily for me it gave me a chance to wear this great vintage dress from the 60's from Dusty Buttons. I set up a little hat station and my little ladies (in the picture above) and I both pranced around in a hats and had a blast!
All Choked Up
I wore the right outfit this holiday season when I was all choked up about being sponsored by my agency for the Senior Professional of Human Resources (SPHR) Certificate Program. I was one of only four selected out of 600 personnel. It was quite moving because I am relatively new to my organization, it was a big honor to be selected. Without even knowing about the selection I wore this studious button up blouse with a beaded choker. It worked great in place of a tie. Timing and fashion is everything.
Color Trend: Grey and Burgundy/Ox Blood
Color Trend:
Burgundy/Ox Blood
You cant really be shy if you are wearing anything called ox blood but that seems to be the trending color of season. It reminds us of cinnamon and spice and everything nice. So if you have a few pieces in ox blood or burgundy, make sure you pull it out and put them in the work rotation. Not feeling so bold, tome the color down with a neutral like grey. How will you wear ox blood in the new year?

Bundle Up this Season
Earlier in the season I wasn't ready to put my pastel Spring pieces out to pasture so I bundled them up with a nice pastel scarf from Forever 21 and a nude pump an we were back in business. How will you repurpose your pastel pieces for this season?
Military Gone Bright: Camel + Cobalt +Tangerine
Trend of the Day:
Military
Color Mix:
Camel + Cobalt +Tangerine
Wow the cold air outside made me want to post a pic from earlier times this season. The weather may have changed a bit but the military trend is still on point. As a matter of fact anything military is back in-style and I love it. If you are trying to dress up a muted military toned piece then try pairing them a bright hue like cobalt or tangerine. Feeling little more militant then usual, then buck up against the normal french manicure. This time I went with a black tip, inspire by camouflage and the seasons darker nodes.
