The creation of this
outfit came from the shoes first. I bought these shoes over 7 years ago. They
are too big but I refuse to let them go…Just put some insoles in them and call
it the day. The shoes are an 8 ½ and but now I’m a 7 ½ and of course I have a
spiritual attachment to all things shoes. And they are a wedge too…My Fav… Find
the right shoe style that works and werk it!
I’m a fan of
blazers/jackets etc. which happen to be my go-to article of clothing for just
about every state my body may be in. However, it is summer and I was able to
locate a couple of light summer jackets that I can wear without burning up. For
me blazers/jackets are a great camouflage. Having lost 174 pounds I am still in
the toning process of my body so there are certain areas I am not completely
confident in. (just being honest) still a work in progress! With that being,
said “Thank God” for ways to camouflage if you choose to. In no way am I saying
hide, just stating what works for me. That is the joy of fashion; it allows the
opportunity for creativity and the chance to try things that work for your body
type. I do believe if you find something that works stick with it and have fun!
I happened to find the
jacket at Tuesday Morning Closeout sale for $2! Now that is a deal. The
necklace and earrings are my favorite pieces of jewelry to wear. You will spot
me wearing this OFTEN!! Love it!
Snatched the purse while
traveling at a T.J. MAXX. It was on sale for, wait for it……$10
The leggings I had for a
while and was waiting for the perfect time to sport them. Located them at Walmart wait
for it…$4.97
Long sleeve white shirt
is actually very light and super comfy. I picked this up at the Goodwill store à $1.97 The thrift store is always another
fav spot of mine to locate what I need. If
you are on a budget which is most of the world…When all else fails go
to your neighborhood second hand/thrift store and create your own look. I have
done it ALL of my adult life and will continue to do it. It’s the place to go
to find an authentic look!
