White Blooming Trees







     I've been thinking about this post for a while. I thought I would put together items that could be worn to a formal occasion using sportswear separates. I'm enjoying the lace trend this spring and find wearing it with a satin motorcycle style jacket feels right for me. 

     I had this outfit paired the snakeskin accessories but I think this salmon color looks snappy and vibrate. I found these shoes at my local consignment shop for $8! 

     Thanks to you that joined by site this week. All of your comments are such an encouragement to keep sharing my point of view.

One Skirt, Worn Two Ways



      I was taking some clothing to my local consignment shop and waiting the 20 minutes while the clerks made decisions on which items of mine to sell.  Of course I looked around and of course, I found something I just had to bring home. This skirt is the kind of design I love, inky paints spots in a great color on a pencil skirt.

     In this post I styled it two ways. One with a white trench and one with a deep navy jacket.  One skirt worn two ways.
