Winter Whites…..

29 Dec

It only makes sense that when you think of winter, you think of white. It’s the color of snow—so pure, so rich, so bright, so GORG! I’m envious of anyone who can wear a crisp white outfit with classic elegance and style. I wear white and I can guarantee I’m dropping an appetizer right down the front. My fashion closet is made up of almost black everything for a reason.

This year I took it upon myself to integrate more white into my dressy—as well as my casual—outfits. Plus, it’s only fair to give some frosty bling in my accessories and makeup looks too. Here are a few things I already have or are on my “need to glow” list this winter:

Bow Lightweight Sweater – This sweater is so fun to wear! Leaning all the way into the bow trend, this sweater features ribbon bows allover with long drop sleeves and a high crewneck. More is more in the best way with this adorably trendy sweater. Walmart, $17.98

Juicy Couture Slip On Winter Snow Boots – Step into luxury with Juicy Couture Women’s Slip On Winter Snow Boots. Featuring a plush faux fur lining and cushioned insoles, these boots provide superior warmth and comfort for all-day wear during the coldest months. With their fashionable design and insulated construction, these winter booties not only keep your feet warm but also elevate your style game. Amazon, $69.98

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil All-In-One Shadow Crayon in Cottage Cheese – Cover your lids in color by using this highly pigmented formula as an eyeshadow crayon for your lids, or sharpen the tip and trace your lash line for a bold eyeliner look. The multi-use eye pencil can even be used as an eye primer. The shimmer comes through to give you a satiny look. Just sketch the creamy color onto your lids, smudge, and top with powder eyeshadow or wear alone. With this jumbo pencil, infinite eye looks are within your reach. Available in 16 colors. Ulta, $6

Mini-Satchel in White – it might not be a lavish dinner, or maybe it’s just coffee with the girls. Doesn’t matter… this is what you need. Holds the basics like a small wallet, cell, mini charger, powder, lippie and of course business cards & a pen! Definitely not a day-to-day bag but you can def elevate a jazzy white sweatsuit and stylish sneakers by carrying this bag!! (Don’t forget a keychain or something that matches for some bling!) five below, $15.00

Selianne Women’s Casual Fluffy Knit Panel White Sweater Dress -This easy-to-take-care-of ultimate sweater dress looks so pristine and pure, it’s almost too beautiful to wear! The materials used to make it enables you to simply wash it and dry at home. The dress has a classic stand collar and fluffy sleeves and panels. Its delicate construction hugs the curves nicely. The sleeves give you it an extra wow factor. Can go nice with tall boots, glitter heels, or fancy matching flats. For extra warmth and *pop*, wear it over a pair of faux leather leggings. You may want to add a chain or thin metallic belt. And don’t forget the accessories like long sparkling necklaces, crystal earrings and a chunky bangle. Add a to-die-for mini bag as well. SLAY, QUEEN!! SHEIN, $22.59

White fashions are not your enemy. They may be embraced more this time of year than others, but there is still nothing sexier than a classic white button up top and a pair of blue jeans. The weather a little chilly? Then break out the classic white sweater, boots or a sweater dress. Faux fur accents are always a plus. Don’t forget to accent your makeup, accenting some white highlights on the eyes (and lips!). Then top it off with classic white accessories like a small white purse, and maybe add some fluffy white gloves and earmuffs. White fashions also like pearl jewelry. You’ll be blending nicely with a light new snowfall all while you brightly stay sassy!

Sassy’s Outfit Of The Day

29 Mar

A lot of bloggers do this every day. They write what they’ve worn, the makeup they put on, the skin care routine they did. I’m an okay fan of that. I like to see what people are wearing. Just not every day. So sometimes, like today, I’ll write up my blog post with my “Sassy Outfit”. I’ll tell you right now, you most likely won’t see anything show stopping. I am a stay at home mom of thee kids (two teens, one husband…LOL) and dolling up isn’t all that for me when I’m just going to the pharmacy to pick up a new bottle of Pepto and an Easter card for my mom. But I think it is nice to know that you can look decent–stunning if you want–even in everyday life while doing everyday things. It doesn’t have to be about sweats and tees all the time. Really…. step away from the fleece. Come here… step away.

So here was today’s routine:

Nothing too fancy, nothing too chic, but it was an outfit to make me feel good from head to toe and turned heads with its current style. And expensive?… not at all. The most expensive thing I bought for this outfit was the purse. And it’s price? $30… last year. See?… you don’t need to win the Mega-Millions to look and feel fab-tabulous. (But hellz to the yeah, it would help!)
