"LADYLIKE"

Hey Dolls, 

Sooooo I've been wearing a lot of pants lately & I've gotten a few suggestions via Twitter and email on styling more skirts. You ask for it, you got it! 

I feel a Lil' 1950'sish (I know that's not a real word) today. Wearing a blouse that I tied up in the front with this pretty striped Midi skirt. 

To add a little edge to it, because that's how I roll LOL, I paired it with these black/gold studded sandals, & this complimentary fringe clutch. 

The BEST thing about this look is that it only cost me under $40 (excluding the clutch). 

Top & Skirt (Thrifted for $3), Sunglasses (99 cents on super sale at Charlotte Russe), and Studded Sandals ($34 Charlotte Russe, Clutch (Chic Pantry Boutique) 

Here's my "Ladylike" look that clearly was well within the budget. Don't underestimate your local thrift stores folks, you never know what treasures you will find.

Today was a great day; weather was great, afternoon meeting went great...& yes I wore these shorts to the meeting LOL. Usually I wouldn't, but it was with some people that are super laid back & fun. As I stepped in the restaurant we were meeting at, two of the guys stood up & started singing , "We wear short shorts" ...as in the theme from the old Nair commercials. Hilarious! I couldn't do anything but sing along and laugh! 

Moments like these makes puts me in a great mood & who doesn't like starting off the week in happy mode? 

Life is short...wear the shorts!!!

ORANGE YOU GLAD...

When the weather is as warm as it is here in Trinidad, the more airy the clothing the better. 

Spent the day at the beautiful Botanical Gardens in Trinidad, taking in all of the beautiful landscape such as the bamboo trees, poui trees, as well as the well manicured gardens. 

It was a lot of walking so I just through on my blinged out Michael Kors jellie sandals.

...and yes! For every "good" pic I take there are always several of my goofy moments...definitely the real me LOL 

Dress: Thrifted for $1 :-) 

Sandals: Michael Kors 

Headband: Random fabric scrap 

My rule: Don't take fashion so serious...especially on vacation :-)

Today was an extremely long day for me, meetings, interviews, more meetings, lunch at my daughter's school, then another meeting before the kids got home and I have to take off my Blogger Hat and adorn my Super Mom Cape.  

I'll tell you a little secret about my dressing routine....there is none! LOL. The only time I pay attention to details of what dress, shoes, or handbag I should wear is if I'm packing for an extended trip. Other than that, I stand in my closet in the wee hours of the morning, still half asleep and just grab stuff and throw it on. Most of the time it works, and the time I'm just not feeling a look I just wear it anyway and pretend I planned to look as such. HAHAHA Own it!
