Saturday Night Outfit Plan

Here is what I hope to be wearing on Saturday night.

My dress is a bit different, but it has mostly the same lines.  Mine has straps, more like a halter dress, not a strapless.  I will post pictures when I can.

Inspiration Monday – Eva Longoria

Boy, it has been a while since I have done an “Inspiration Monday” post.  I am glad to get back in to the swing of things again.

This is the inspiration look provided by the ladies over at the TwoBirds blog this week is Eva Longoria.  I really like how she looks in this picture, plus, I am always a big fan of wearing all, or mostly all black.  I love her over the knee socks.  I wish I had been able to pull off a version of that look, but it was just not in the cards for me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is my version.

 

Although I am not super crazy about my pose in this picture, I did really enjoy how this outfit turned out.  I was warm and comfy, but felt that I looked nice.

Winter Style

I have wanted to link up with IFB and their latest link was “Winter Style.”  This is what I wore this week to Older Brother’s basketball game. 

It gets so cold sitting in the gym, even here in sunny California.

I know it is difficult to see what I am wearing under the cozy jacket, so I will be posting this outfit again with my post to follow, about “Inspiration Monday.”

An Older Photo of The Boys

I just saw this in my desktop slide-show today, and I couldn’t resist sharing it.

Aren’t they so cute!  Now they are so much more grown up, but they still remain cute… just a bit taller, smellier and hungry these days. ;-)

I Just Learned Some New Things

I learned how to take a “screen shot” on my computer.

I used Microsoft Paint for the first time.

I used Polyvore for the first time.  This particular image was for a challenge on Shoeperwoman’s blog.

I will be doing this more. :-)

Random Shoe Post

Here is a shoe that I wore the other day, that didn’t get it’s own post, and I think it is feeling a bit left out.

 

This shoe is a wild one, but is still fun to wear.  The heel height makes it comfortable, I think I even went to the mall when I wore these the other day.  If I recall, the outfit was a simple one, mostly black, so as not to compete with the shoes.

The watch is my Betsy Johnson skull watch, which I love.

Today’s Nails – Essie “Aruba Blue”

Here is a super fun blue nail. 

I think I could wear different shades of blue all the time.

Maybe Coral Lips Just Aren’t For Me

I have been searching for a beautiful coral colored lip for as long as I can remember.  This week I decided to try again, and I do not think I have found the right answer yet.

Here is my first try.

 

 

This is a shade called “Compelling Coral.”

Hmm.  Looks like a typical soft pink.

Next up… “Tropical Coral.”

Um… is this even a different picture?

And, finally… “Always Apricot.”

I actually liked this one the best, even though it looks mostly the same in these pictures.

I may have too much color (ie: freckles) in my face to pull off these specific coral colors.  What I have in my mind is deeper, and maybe more orange.  I’ll keep looking.

Outfit Of The Day

Here is what I wore today. 

I know I wear these shoes often, but I really love them.  So basic, but yet still a great high heel.

Shoes On The Street

I have been wanting to try a post like this for some time, but I always hold back for some reason.  So, I am just going to dive on in…

It’s not like I am going to be mean.  That’s just not who I am. 

These obviously caught my eye because of the great lace tights.  She looks really nice.

These all happen to be from Starbucks, so not actually “on the street.”

I don’t own a pair of “booties” yet.  Can you even believe that?  It’s sort of a crime.

Doesn’t this young lady look good?!  I love the slouchy boots and bag combo she put together.

These just look like “Happy Feet” to me.

Clearly I can see that I need to work on my “On The Street” photography skills, but I like the idea, so I will probably keep at it.  What do you think?
