Yellow Shorts...

Ok, I'm on this bold color shorts kick this summer!

I found a great pair of sunny side up yellow shorts from this little unknown second hand shop in Austin a few weeks back for $2! You really can't beat a deal like that.

I decided to pair this shorts up with a blue and white horizontally stripped top and a tribal multi-strand necklace and a basic navy sandal.

Alls I can say, is do you and forget whomever speaks against your freedom to express yourself!

It's not the best looking picture but I do what I can...

Neck to Thigh:
necklace, multi-strand, multi-colored necklace - Aldo Accessories $10
top, navy and white horizontally stripped short sleeve - Old Navy $5
shorts, yellow walking shorts (that I need to find a cool button for) - Random Spot $2

Green Cords...

I went thrifting and found a pair of green corduroy shorts with this antique looking button for only $2!!! You have to know that was quick purchase. There is no way I was going to pass up a pair of cords that were green, let alone two bucks!

I cuffed and paired my shorts with a blue and white pinstriped button up (rolled sleeves) and a blue small statement necklace. I completed my look with a pair of backless spectators and a small cross body purse and I was off to a fun night at the museum with friends.

Happy Thrifiting!

Head to Toe:
hair, old twist out, pinned back
make up, natural and unassuming
earrings, silver balls (old)
necklace, blue and silver (small) statement piece - $.99, small boutique
shirt, blue and white button all the way up - Plato's Closet $5, Martin + Oso

Goals

I absolutely cannot wait to rock this!

That peachy blonde tone is my favorite right now! To bad my hair isn't even to my shoulders yet.

A girl can dream though, right?

I'm sure I'm not the only gal trying to grow her hair out, and I'm sure that I'm not the only one who is totally frustrated with the awkward stages!

Good luck, and happy growing!



Sartorial Splendor Pt. 1................. Shoulder Form

There are not enough words to describe a great suit.  So, my words will be few............... Okay not really. LOL!! But, there are many things that go into having a good suit. One part is the shoulders. There are mainly three kinds of shoulders on a blazer natural shoulder, a bald shoulder, and the rope shoulder.  Buy one that you will love and that you can make your own. Mold you suit to fit your personality. Be avant-garde with the details. You are a trend setter. Don’t be afraid to go big on the lapel or extremely thin just remember tie to lapel ratio. (Big lapel big tie and small lapel small tie) But that's another post. LOL!! Other than that the suit is a canvas so make a master piece. I love a good rope shoulder double breasted suit. That’s just my preference. The first blazer is one on my list.  Oh wait……………….one last thing you have got to keep a great tailor in you back pocket.  You will always need him just in case you do something crazy like loose 20lbs. LOL!!  Let's do pictures………

Notice how each blazer presents its own measure of confidence! AMAZING!!!! Untill next time……………. Live life in Style!!!

Blue for you.

I have been straight crushing on Katy Perry's blue bob! She is absolutely stunning, and I think this look really fits her. I love everything about it! One of the really big trends in hair colour right now is vibrant colours like blue, purple, and pink. There are several different ways to add some colour into your hair. You can pull a Katy Perry and just go all the way, or just a few streaks, but my personal favorite dip dying the ends of your hair! One of the great things about dip dying is that if you don't want it to be permanent, it doesn’t have to be! You can use a product like Manic Panic that will fade within a few days, and if you have really light hair you can even use Kool-Aid!

Be you, and ROCK IT!

Style-o-Graph............

Myles Warren and I had a very entertaining conversation in txting one day. (which if you get the chance just talk to here you won't stop laughing) Myles said something that opened my eyes a little wider. She said "I am Unique" (in her witty sassy attitude voice). As I burst into laughter I couldn't help but think how true it was about my friends. Myles and Stefani are beautiful, courageous, and magnificent women who define the very essence of outstanding style.  To join the company of women of this caliber gents you must be extraordinary.  You must signify exceptional style, lay the cherry on top of  your fashion three layer chocolate cake, and put the foam on your style double shot soy extra foam caramel cinnamon latte (hold on let me breath that was a lot LOL!!!!)  with something as simple as a PEN.

           Now, before you completely close the page and think this is a complete waste of time hear me out.  In the age of the gigantic smart phones and the tablet market a once simple and elegant part of life has quickly diminished.  A hand written letter has given way to the status updates and the mass text messages of our now technological savvy world.

But, let’s just think for one moment. When the President signs a treaty, puts a new law in affect does he send out a mass text message? Does he post it on Twitter? Does he just update his Facebook status?  NO!!!!!! He sits down side by side with other leaders. He picks up a specialty pen weather fountain or ballpoint and they sign their names. 

I believe gentlemen you should own a pen just as unique as your signature. You could call it your Signature Quill. LOL!!! Every once and awhile we should tip our hats to a good throw back. A classic throw back can catch any refined person’s eye. Yes, IT MAKES THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE!!!! Trust me!! You know I have to give you pics right?
