March 2013 Monthly Roundup

I hope you all had a great Easter! Our day started out fine, then suddenly we had a power outage. I was getting really nervous about dinner as I was hosting it for my sibling and their families. Thankfully the power came back on. Our church services were the best I have EVER been to as it was completely musical numbers and I loved singing in the choir! Today :The April Fool" struck again.

Client: Kelci, 6'1" tall Size:  10/12, Inseam: 36" or 37" with heels Wanting:  "I'm hoping to find light tan corduroy pants with a slight stretch and bootcut openings on the bottom.

Neon Brights

I have always loved neon.  Remember zinc?  That neon paste that people wore on their noses to prevent sunscreen.  I wore it on my lips.  As lipstick.  My family teased me about that forever.  They could see my lips a mile away.  Fast forward 20+ years.  (Wow.  20 years?!) and I still love color.  Yes I've toned down the lips a bit.  But I'm still not afraid to rock a little neon. While browsing Pinterest I noticed a few fun pins featuring neon color and outfits.  And this post was born.  Enjoy my neon picks: Incorporating neon by way of accessories is a lot less scary than rocking a full fledged neon shirt. or dress. or pants.  This is a small way to embrace the trend. Milani Neon Nail Lacquer, Pink Rocks! 508, .45 fl oz. Women’s Neon Trim Straw Fedoras. Ice Watch Silicone Watch in Neon Pink. Aldo Verissimo (bone bag with pink trim). Nine West Dashall (Up to size 12). (orange fabric.  also available in neon yellow and green). Sasha Handbag, Neon … [Read more...]

Coral Color Crush

A week ago Krista did a post on the color mint.  I love that color! It's been steadily gaining popularity for the last year or so (or at least that's when I started noticing) and another color you often see it paired with is coral.  Coral is like peach's cool cousin.  It's that orange-ish pink tone that seems fresh and flattering on everyone.  If you are dying for spring like I am, it's a nice color to add to your closet now, in anticipation of the warm sunny days ahead.  Another note:  it's subtle enough for the "I only wear dark and neutral colors" type.  Yes YOU.  Here are a few fun Coral picks. Oh and bonus: All items are under $100 with most being under $60. Tops/Outerwear: Ponte Academy Blazer in Neon Coral.  Tall. Coral Poncho. Women's Eyelet Pocket Shirt in Coral Tropics (Tall). Crew Cardigan in Neon Coral (Tall). Dresses: Long Maxi Dress in Soft Orange.  Maci Tank Dress in Coral.  Both are extended length (63 inches). Pants: Truck Jeans “Kendall” … [Read more...]

Alloy Has a New Tall Shop

We all love Alloy! After all they have long inseam pants and jeans up to 37" long, tall maxi dresses, some longer length shirts and all at affordable prices. Alloy now has a new tall shop - with all of their tall or longer length items in one section for easier shopping!  Don't you love it when stores make it easier for us to find what we need? So, how do I shop at Alloy? A few years ago, I tried them, didn't get the right fit and gave up on them.  But, over the past year, I decided to give it another try and was pleasantly surprised. Obviously, I'm not a youngster anymore. {Sigh}. And a lot of the clothing is geared more towards teens. But, I have found items that I can wear. (pants and jeans).  I usually check the size chart and then order the item in the size I think I am, and then a size larger. I know, what you're saying, that this is a huge pain, but I order two items and return the one that I don't want to keep.  So, why would I go to all of this trouble? Why not just … [Read more...]

My Tall Pink Jeans

Do you remember the tall pink jeans post? I inspired myself so much, that I had to go out and buy them for myself.  Overall, I am a pretty private person, so sharing actual pictures of myself gives me some anxiety. Aren't we always the most critical of ourselves? I'm trying to be more authentic this year, so here goes: I wore this outfit to a play on a snowy night.  I had to throw in a picture of my Princess as so many of you have followed the story of her adoption over the years. She's quite the character! I changed up a few items from the original inspiration post and really want to show you my cool Jeffrey Campbell 'Martini' Flats (Black) - courtesy of Barefoot Tess.  I feel like a rock-star with these studded shoes and always get compliments when I wear them. I did find them a bit tight on the length and would recommend ordering one size larger. Other items worn:  Hot Pink Tall Jeans – 35″ or 37″ Inseam - Alloy,  Tall Gingham Shirt - Old Navy, Tall … [Read more...]
