Today I took my dad to the doctor so I dressed up a little (since these are the only times we get to do it anymore). I am wearing yellow and white which are my favorite colors in the summer, but I would like to call your attention to the embroidery on my pants. My mom actually made them and I absolutely love it! Now my jeans are special and no one has the same ones.
The lace kimono I got at #Maurices. At first, we immediately thought of night gown but the idea grew on me and now I really like this outfit. Since it is raining I am obviously wearing my trusty #Melissa shoes. they are white with splash of different color paint.
Here I am again, ready to go run some errands. I figured masks are in “fashion” now so I might as well show off the different ones I have. I try matching my masks to my clothes and for the most part it works. Here my mask has a Coffee theme. I do love the outfit I am wearing too though.
And of course, Lulu had to sit by my side when I was taking the picture. She is so well behaved it is hard to believe. I have to say, she has been my savior during this quarantine. She is the reason I got up everyday and got dressed since I have the responsibility of taking her outside. It is so good to have the companionship of a four-legged friend.
Thank you for reading and don’t forget, if you need masks just contact me.
At this time last year we were in Hawaii in our family vacation and I found this beautiful bright kimono. I also got the necklace I am wearing as an Anniversary gift from my husband. It is made with a shell that is only found in Hawaii. I absolutely fell in love with it.
Today, I just woke up feeling like dressing up even though the only place I had to go to was the post office. I even put on a bracelet, which by the way, I got it from #Stella&Dot through Angela Vossenkuhl. I love the bracelet, you can add different charms and words to it.
So anyway, it felt good to get dressed and use nice things, it is so rare now when we get to dress up. I can’t wait to go back to a somewhat normal life again. I thought I would just stop by and share my outfit with everyone.
This spring has been a bit odd. It has been colder than usual and I still haven’t been able to wear most of my summer clothes. So here I am, wearing a cute springish/fallish outfit. I got the outfit from Buckle and I am in love. The pants are a bit higher butI actually like that because it holds everything in. The sweater is light weight so perfect for this type of weather. The tank top is my favorite because it is nice and loose and of course from one of my favorite brands Free People. I even got more than one color.
It sure has been a while. Here I am ready a job interview. Fingers crossed this is my last one and that I actually get this job. But I thought it was a good opportunity to add a post here since I dressed up for it.
This is an understated outfit, especially for me. It is all black and only the kimono brings some color. Well the earrings and necklace also helped a little bit. I have to say that I really enjoy dressing up these days since it does not happen very often nowadays.
Well, I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe during this difficult time, but it looks like we are slowly going back to a semi normal life, stores are slowly opening back up, restaurants are also opening for dining in and more people are out and about.
Here we are, still in quarantine and not going many places. I had to take Lulu to the groomers and run some errands for my parents so I took advantage of the situation to dress up. I got a lot of compliments on this dress, I think the only thing that was missing was a matching mask. 🙂
I have actually considered making more masks so that I have more colors but really, I don’t think I should. My current favorite is the one with daisies which is so happy and it helps with our mood in this situation.
I have been meaning to share that in the past few months I have been a bit obsessed with this brand #Freepeople. I love how it makes me look and feel. It is hard to explain but I think it is the flowy of the shirts. Granted, a lot of their clothes might not always fit me because they don’t have a plus size collection but their large and x-large are great in the baggy styles they offer.
My only issue with the brand is that it is a bit pricey but I always check out the sales rack at #Macys and sometimes I get lucky. Other stores also sell the brand so it is all a matter of patience. For the record, I have not gone shopping lately since everything is shut down. These clothes are from way before the quarantine. These days, I get a chance to get dressed up nicer at least once a week for grocery shopping and errands for my parents. I am not going to lie, it is nice to get dressed in a nice way once in a while. I feel bad because I have so many beautiful summer dresses and I am afraid I won’t get to wear them all since we never leave the house. I have been wearing my athletic gear more since all I ever do is take Lulu for walks.
Well, my father’s immune system is somewhat compromised so my brother and I have to run his errands and buy his groceries. Saturday was my turn. On the bright side, it gave me the opportunity to dress up a little bit.
I want to tell you about these pants. I bought them a good 8 or 9 years ago and for the past 6 years they have not fit me so I saved them with the hope they would fit me one day again. During this quarantine, I have been looking for things to do, and up-cycling my pants was a great idea…
Here I am wearing pants I fixed using some of the African material I bought when I was in Ghana. The pants now fit nicely and I have pants that no one else in the world has. Coincidently I had this shirt that matched perfectly. Of course nobody can miss our newest accessory in the market. The mask… I did make this one out of a map fabric which represents my love for traveling.
I hope everyone is doing ok out there. To be very honest, it has not been easy for me. The anxiety and depression are getting stronger and stronger and it is getting harder and harder to fight these horrible feelings. I find that talking about it helps a little bit.
Lulu
Of course, Lulu has been helping me along. I have to get dressed everyday to take her on walks. Which, in turn prevents me from lying in bed all day. I have been taking some long walks with Lulu and my mom with whom I tried to speak French for practice.
Well, I am taking one day at a time, and I wanted to share my “new” pants with you. Take care and hang in there…
