Happy Labor day!! It's Monday and I do not have to call out today! lol Orange you glad you are off today? I am! I am jumping for joy while enjoying my Orange Delight Jumpsuit.I don't own a lot of orange, but I am quickly gonna make a change.With Fall fast approaching, Orange will really be the new black.Pumpkins,cider, turning leaves, crisp morning and jackets out the whazoo are what the Autmumn seanson is all about.It's still warm so I am gonna enjoy the last days of Summer.This jumpsuit is the perfect transitioning piece.It's color composition moves seamlessly from seasons.For the cooler days, throw a nice jacket on top and you are good to go! I am wearing a size small.I look pretty lean and long in this jumpsuit, but it's maily because of the way it is made.It is composed of a spandex infused material and is lined with shorts to avoid colorful panty snafoos.The belt is also included and can be worn separately as well. Currently on sale at Incantareboutique.com for less that $40, make you don't miss this great piece! I know, I know I have been collaborating a lot with them lately; however when I like a company or brand I want to share it with the world. All the pieces they sell are made very well ,almost tailored to fit, the prices are great , and their pieces are far from average! Don't believe me? Check out their site www.incantareboutique.com .They are also having a great Labor Day sale you don't want to miss. I have been blessed with big eyes not only for beauty, but for spotting deals.My Louis Vuitton Speedy is my greatest find to date.I was in a local thrift store , minding my business and being a child of God, when I spotted this beauty in the display window with a tag that read 'fake'.I immiately noticed the darkened(patina) ,what seemed like the signature Vachetta leather and picked it up quickly, before anyone caught on.I quickly looked inside for a date code, sadly there was not one *cries in Louis Vuitton. There was however a tag inside that read 'Manufactured in the U.S.A. under special license to the French Co.'.I quickly turned to the smartest one I knew, Google. I found a few verification websites that validated the tag. Date codes were not always used. They were introduced widely in the late 90's to combat the growing industry of knockoffs. Also between the late 70's through the 90's Louis Vuitton allowed many of their bags to be manufactured in the U.S. So in fact, the speedy I had was not fake. The bag had a $15 price tag! I paid for that bag and ran out so fast before they had a chance to realize what happened. So yes, I got a vintage Louis Vuitton Speedy for $15.It pays to do your research ladies and gents.

As much as I love to mix prints, I am also quite fond of a good monochromatic look. Olive khaki can be found in pretty much every silhouette available--from bombers, sweatshirts, dresses, chinos, shoes, hats, overcoats and the list goes on . I love olive as well as summer country nights so I meshed the to together for this fashion fete. Coastal Couture boutique in Leland , NC sells this amazingly tailor-fitted Olive Jumpsuit for only $39.99. With split sleeves, gold grommet details at the neckline and waist, pockets, and a darted waist you will catch glances from everywhere and everyone! The jumpsuit has a lot of stretch which hugs where needed and the material is thick enough to camouflage and smooth all imperfections. My clear box bag was a steal for only $17 from Romwe.com. I also got my earrings from there last year, but they are currently sold out (sorry). I kept the khaki theme strong by pairing my jumpsuit with my barely there strappy sandals from Missguided.I got them last year as well (I know, boo! ), so these are sold out.You can shop a similar look here for $24.00.They also have free shipping for a limited time so don't miss out. Check out www.coastalcoutureboutique.com and if you see anything you like including this jumpsuit, use code 'COWGIRL' to get an additional 10% off! I literally love any excuse to get dressed up. From church, social events, work, grocery store, gas station whatever--- I'm there to slay it. Living out in the country ,other than the blog, I don't have many events to get dolled up for. However someone has a class reunion coming up (spoiler alert, it's me) and I am so ready. I literally have 3 looks on standby. The look I am wearing now is a top contender. This two piece set comes in black and royal blue. The bandeau top has a tie waist so tighten it if you are trying to look snatched .The skirt is the perfect length for a formal or semi-formal setting. My reunion is said to be semi-formal which to me means formal ;making this look perfect. I used the waist belt off of a black duster I own and wore it as a neck scarf. Shop this look formal 2 piece look here. My earrings are currently sold out, but Romwe has plenty others for the same price($5.99) and similar style. Shop similar styles here. It wasn't planned , but they matched my Jimmy Choos (therealreal.com) perfectly. I wanted to get a close up of these gems, but my toes were not done and it would not be fair for you all to endure my feet right now. I of course had to go with my signature red lip Cherry Blossom from Coloured Raine. I'm so excited for my reunion not only to get dressed up but to see all my classmates. I think I got along with mostly everyone, as far as I can remember it's been 10 years. Believe it or not , I looked nothing like this in school. I want to post to show you all, but I get bad flashbacks lol. I was always being loud and crazy in school. I think it's because I am the middle child of 5 siblings. Me and my friends called each other the '06 muffins' (I was raspberry, yeaaaa).We had t-shirts and everything. Guess who came up with the name (spoiler: it's me again)We were so legit. I may get nostalgic and post some pics to share with you all. Just remember it's ok to be lame in school, as long as you slay on everyone at the class reunion. That was my plan all along.....*birdman handrub |
