School Girl Monday
After a wonderful weekend with family we are back at this thing called Monday. I think the cooler weather even makes getting up for work Monday even harder . I felt like just getting a hot cup of coffee and just sitting in the bed for a few hours. No such luck..
In honor of spending great quality time with family I thought I would wear this dress that my Mom got me last year for Christmas. If you know my mom this is a dress that she would pick out . It is so classic kind of June Cleaver but I love it and I had to give it my own little flavor so today's look is a little of me and a little of her. I thought it worked out nicely. I hope you fashionista's are having a fabulous Monday. What look are you starting your week with ?

One Tough Act to Follow
I remember growing up I used to ask my Mom . Why did you name me such a boring name like Mary . I wanted something more exotic something unique. My Mom wanted to name me Sabrina but my Dad swore he would call me submarine ... and he really wanted to name me after his mother. You would have to know how much of Mama's boy he was and still is. My Dad is 67 years old and she still keeps him in line. She only has to utter one word and you will see this big old man sit his butt down like a child. She has 8 children and she is still has that effect on all of them.
I grew up over 600 miles away from my Granny so I didn't' get to spend a lot of time with her but I have awesome memories of this lady . She wasn't like other Grandmothers or at least what I thought they were. She was not one of those I am going to sit in the house and knit a scarf and bake me some cookies. She was a Grandmother who would take you fishing or hunting with a shot gun. She would dance around the house and tease you endlessly about a boy. I remember her waiting up for us when we would drive down to the country and no matter what the hour was made sure we ate and ate good. As I grew up I got to know her even more . I found out more about her as a woman. She has the most beautiful spirit and is so full of life and anyone that meets he just is in awe of her.
Today is my Grandmother's birthday and she is 92 years young and she is still as spunky as I remember her as a child. She will swear that she is prettier than any movie star or even her own daughters and grand daughters. She one day put one of my dresses on and told me that she looked better than me in it.LOL..I am thinking she is going to take my blog over . Oh Granny you really are a beauty inside and out and I am so glad that my Dad insisted that I be named after such a awesome woman. This lady is definitely one tough act to follow. I am grateful at 41 years old that I still have this special woman in my life.
Happy Birthday Granny... Wishing you many more!

Falling Into Animal Print
In this post I wanted to highlight my love for animal prints for the fall.

I just love mixing animal print with red's or burgundy there is just something about the combo for fall that gets me so excited. I was lucky enough to come across this little red number by Alfani at Clothes Mentor here is Fort Wayne.

I decided to add just little bursts of animal print with my belt and booties.

Feeling Chic In September
There is nothing like some fabulous shoes to make you feel chic and put together. I feel big city in Fort Wayne Indiana today... LOL. I got these shoes back in the winter from one of my favorite places to shop +Kohl's . They are Rock and Republic I ended up waiting till they were marked down because as you know by now that is how I roll! The cooler temps in morning caused me to pull out these closed toe shoes in my closet. I though they were the perfect match for my super cute Jones of New York skirt I scored for $10 at the Clothes Mentor here in Fort Wayne. These shoes give my look more of and edge and a high fashion feel which is just what I was going for. What I love about this skirt is the light pink stripe in the center and the material is just a heavy high quality with just the right amount of stretch. I know it looks white in the picture but the light pink makes it a little more unique. I decided to add a my simple black Bisou Bisou peplum from +JCPenney and add some pink accessories and my chic' look was born.
What so you have in your closet that makes you feel high fashion? Is it a fab pair of shoes a little black dress? I would love to know
Hope you are having a fabulous week and we are one day closer to Friday!
Skirt - Jones of New York via Clothes Mentor Fort Wayne $10

Shoes - Rock and Republic via Kohl's $30

Second Chance
That is what I love so much about Clothes Mentor if I missed out of something that I loved or didn't know I loved at the time I may get a 2nd chance at finding it just like I did with this dress and many times before and for a fraction of the price . Just like my Mama always says if it's meant to be than it will be there.. and once again it was meant to be.
Ladies don't forget that Clothes Mentor is looking for fall and winter items so why not brings those items that you are no longer wearing for some cash on the spot or to find those 2nd chance items that you missed out on the first time around.
Details
Dress- Jcpenney Duro Olowu via Clothes Mentor $14
Shoes - Steve Madden via Macy's $22
Bracelet- Guess via Macy's $7
Jacket - Arizona Jcpenney via Goodwill $4
Bag - Ora Delphine - gift

Labor Day Dress Love
Last month when I was a panelist at the Ladies Who Brunch event I met many women it was an excellent networking event. One of the women I was lucky enough to meet was the owner of an up and coming boutique Exquisite Pink boutique. I love the on trend pieces and instantly took a liking to this classy but sexy look. This dress can be worn two different ways which is the perfect concept getting more bang for my buck . I decided to wear this with sandals but could totally see transitioning this into the fall with a cute pair of booties. How are you fashionista's planning on transitioning your wardrobe to the cooler temperatures? Please dish
