FASHION





OK....since most of my design projects are at a midway point I am back to fashion....and by fashion I mean bathing suits!

And..... I am not a big fan....haha.  I mean at 69 I just don't think it's a good look.  I know.... I shouldn't be so critical but there it is.

I suppose if I was going to a beautiful resort I might rethink that because wouldn't it be nice to lay on a lounge chair sipping on a drink with a cute little umbrella in it:)

One thing is for sure my bikini days are over so I just picked some cute one pieces.....

 I love this black suit and especially the back!




I also think a little ruching is a good thing and can be slimming.....





hat 


I would probably never take off this cute coverup and just swim in it...haha




This coverup is basically a dress and would look cute without the darn swimsuit!




This company Summersalt was started by 2 women and I like that the suits have nice coverage from behind!







This is one of my favorites and I love the stripe coverup!

suit

So....I am sure some of you have a great vaca planned this summer.....

Which look is your favorite?

A question about the wallpaper from the last post:




It's from Schumacher and called Blommen. It comes in black and white, I think green and white and maybe navy and white!

Hope you guys have a rocking weekend....make it the best it can be!

Well.....I guess I should travel the country just taking a room full of furniture and putting a room together!

Thanks for all the good feedback and I have answers to your questions also....ur welcome.

**The white sofas are Mitchell Gold.  I am not sure they make the same model as these were purchased many years ago!

**I arranged those cookies and really it only took me 5 minutes:)


**The finger pull hardware on the dry bar are called Edge Pulls.....you can find them here in many finishes.

**The rest of the kitchen cabinet Hardware are from Richelieu Hardware.

**The island pendants are from Circa Lighting and they are called the Goodman Pendant

**The floors are called Sellersburg Oak SBG38-507CH Cheyenne.  You can google....I found them.

And there you have it.  

I finally got it together to do a fashion post.....basically it is more of a capsule wardrobe of sorts.  After 68 years I have figured out that if I stick to basics then I can mix and match them and just add a scarf or some cute shoes to make a completely new outfit!  

I guess I'm a slow learner.....:)

Below is a great black and white look.  Seriously if you have 3 pairs of denim let them be black...white and a dark wash.  I mean that is almost all you need!

I have this black and white T shirt....it is very oversized which I think looks good with skinny jeans.  I just do a small french tuck in the front.  And can we say Sneakers?  For real I wear them all the time and there are so many cute ones out there!






Below....again a good pair of black jeans! A taupe sweater and cute scarf.  Throw on the black Converse sneakers and some big fake diamond studs......go girl!







Here are the dark wash jeans that look great with everything and are more slimming than the lighter version.  I like a more mid-rise jean than the ones that go all the way up.  They are just more comfy to me.  

A pretty reasonable priced camel coat can elevate an outfit and will go with anything.  Grab the Converse white sneakers and that is all you need....I actually have the J Crew belt in both black and camel and wear them constantly !






A long sleeve T shirt is a must and I have this exact one in black and white from Target.  They are amazing.  A denim jacket goes with everything....all the basics but throw in those cute sneakers!



Take the white T shirt again and just add the camel sweater.  I have this J Crew Factory sweater in both camel and black and I wear them all the time.  You can usually find them for 50% off.









Beside a few pair of sneakers....the shoes below are all staples of a basic wardrobe.  I have those black booties and they are SO GOOD.  Comfy from the first day I put them on and they can elevate an outfit.  Always make sure if you wear with jeans to show a little bit of ankle.  I have similar mules and wore them all last spring and summer.  A pair of camel booties will also serve you well......


Suede Boots


A few more things to add to your wardrobe.....Everything but the linen shirt can be found at J Crew Factory but the linen shirt can be found here

I bet you can put together 30 different looks with these basics!

Alrighty then....off to my work out [it's lower body day and I know it's gonna hurt]  and then get my second vaccine.

Happy Tuesday

A LITTLE FRIDAY FASHION







Hi there....it's Friday and I am not mad about it!  This was a crazy busy week for me....plus it was hot as the dickens.  

I have a lot to get done before I leave for Nantucket.  Yes I am traveling.  A little nervous about it but if you are looking for me I'll be the one in a full hazmat suit:)

I have a little treat for you today!  My friend Kristin Mayfield Meredith has a cool online store called KMM Collective with great clothes.  She occasionally has pop-up events around Atlanta and I love seeing her finds:)

Here are a few gems that I know you will love!



I am a huge fan of a denim shirt....especially with white jeans.


I want this cream lightweight jacket so badly.


Olive green has been on my radar lately  



And....blue and white stripe is always a classic!

And.....I would wear this shirt everyday!


If you follow me on Instagram....then you know I love some great neutral jewelry....I have a cuff very similar to this!




Of course this would be a great addition to my collection!


I have these wooden beads.....





I love the colors in this scarf.

Wouldn't this look good with the olive dress!


You know I love a good black and white 
accessory :)




I love both of these bags....


So.....you can find all of this at her online shop called KMM  Collective

So here are my favorite jeans this season and they are on sale at J Crew now....



And the white ones

I love the short flare of these!



Above the black and below the white.....heavy rotation around here!



And here are some great summer sandals  on sale right now!

It seems like all clothes are on sale and when I see something that I might want and it's not on sale I cock my head in wonder?  Right?

Head over to her website....you will find some fun goodies I'm sure! 

I hope everyone has a healthy weekend!

My goodness....y'all know how to make a person feel special:)  So glad you liked my One Room Challenge that I completed for my sister!  She's happy....I'm happy so all is right with my world right now.

Don't worry you know I am working on a post with lots of details so hang tight!

But.....I did want to share this fashion post that I put together last week before it's out of style....haha.

I've done a little spring shopping....I know.... you would think "where did she find the time?"

But I did!  Some I ordered and some I snagged while I was out and about because you know all the summer stuff will be gone by July 1st.

I love these pants....I tried wide leg last year but couldn't get on board.....I do think the trick is to wear a higher heel!

 

Last year I bought a similar dress from J Crew Factory and it became a staple during the dog days of summer!  I love the Bag from H&M!



I wanted to show you a different look with the wide leg pants!  I have the black top from BR and I also have a similar fanny pack which is so fun!


I'm not sure I can wear this dress without a jacket....no matter how much you work out...those arms just don't cooperate :) But...it was so cheap I am not bothered if I don't wear it that much....




I took a trip up to J Crew Factory last Sunday and picked up a few things....so much value!




I can't wait to wear this dress from H&M!  So cute...

I did buy this shirt at BR and wore it yesterday !  I love it.

I think I am into lemons lately:)

And these were on sale plus 40% off....so I couldn't resist!

I ordered this from BP in a size 10 which is what I generally wear and couldn't hardly get my arms in it!  WTH?


And I picked up this navy t- shirt to wear with white jeans!

Alrighty then unfortunately I have a couple of appointments today so I gotta get moving:)

Happy Shopping!

Can it be Friday already?  I kind of had a 2 day work week and it was pretty nice.......although it does nothing for my 10 page "to do" list.

So fall fashion....I did a lot of my purchasing back on Labor Day weekend so I am slowing pulling out things muttering "holy cow I bought some stuff...."

But y'all know I like to keep it basic and pretty simple so there isn't much thought process when pulling things to wear.  

When I was getting my outfits together for the 7 events [House Beautiful sponsor parties] it was black and white and variations of black on black HA HA!

Matthew Quinn remarked "Oh hi Sherry....more #blackandwhite....?  Why yes Matthew there is enough color in this house so I want to stand out :)"

Just saying....

So here we go.....


I bought 2 of the Teddy sweaters at J Crew Factory [buy one get one free!] while in Florida.  The green earrings and small clutch are from Banana Republic...as are the pants!  This is a great day to night with the addition of the green don't cha think?


A little more shopping in Florida at J Crew Factory!  The puffer vest in black and the loafers [which are very comfy!] I bought the tortoise earrings from J Crew and were only 19.50!

Denim shirt is from J Crew Factory and pants  [which I have] and bag are from Banana Republic


OK....this one is pretty easy too! The sweater is from J Crew Factory, and the black coat, the scarf  the earrings are from J Crew.  The shoes and pants are from Banana Republic....always wait for the sale!


What is hotter than booties this fall?  I mean....
The black sweater coat I bought last year at J Crew Factory and I might need to get another as I have it on heavy rotation! Bag, jeans, t shirt, booties....thinking hard about these!

And this one might scare you....

Yes.... I bought at DSW.  It wasn't much of an investment as they are quite trendy right!  And....then I had to research to actually see the best way for me to wear them cause I was a little worried.  I know what you are thinking.

I'm too old.  Nah.....I'm going for it!


I tried on a furry jacket and it was ridiculous.  Not for me.

Then I saw this on LIKE to KNOW it Fashion_Jackson.  I think I can pull this one off.  



I ordered the coat....I had some credits and decided to take back another coat I had purchased so I wasn't out that much!  The sunglasses....the jeans....the purse

I'll let you know when the coat arrives and we will discuss.  I did wear them last night to meet my sister and her husband for dinner with jeans, white t shirt, and a leather jacket.  I felt pretty good until my sister started singing...."these boots are made for walking....."

And laughed.
