Joy!

Happy Monday! How was your weekend and how is your week starting off? As you can see, I am still very much enjoying the vibrant colors I wore in the spring and summer and I see no reason to dress like I am going to a funeral just because it is fall.  I have had some wonderful things happen in the midst of some craziness. 

GOD is pretty amazing! So I am basking in the joy that comes with an unexpected blessing. Aren't those the best?

 

 I am wearing white pants after Labor Day. Do people really listen to those ridiculous fashion rules. Who made that up anyway?

Yes, I wear this clutch a lot, but it is a DIY with the help of one of my crafty friends and I can't get enough of it.

 

Palm Trees, you gotta love Los Angeles :-)

 Peace that surpasses all understanding...

 

Have you ever had something amazing happen to you unexpectedly? Or a prayer answered in a completely different way than you thought?  Sometimes we wait on GOD and he is actually waiting on us:-)

I find that I experience the most excitement and joy when I do things that I love. How about you?  Whatever the thing is that energizes you and makes you feel the most alive is what you should be doing all the time. So are you doing it? If not, what are you waiting for?

Orange Peacock

 Happy Monday loves! How was your weekend? Mine was great, but I must admit, I am sick of this heat! I went to one of my favorite farmers markets. Read about it here and I also tried a new restaurant with a friend and wore a vibrant, bright, flirty, summery orange dress with some peacock accents. It has certainly been scorching and when the temperature rises, I live in summer dresses. How about you? 

My dress actually came from Forever 21 and these days lots of folks way past 21 shop there including myself, LOL They have great accessories and you can get staple items for great prices. I am still working my way through my birthday gift cards, and I found one for F-21 in the stash and did not hesitate to grab this cute dress.  I shop everywhere.  Where do you like to shop?

 Dress: F-21, Denim Jacket: Old Navy, Shoes: Private Boutique, Earrings: Los Angeles Fashion District, Clutch: Random Boutique

This clutch is one of my favorites. I have a serious obsession with clutches. They are timeless. Items like classic sheaths and clutches never go out of style. I tend to update  my wardrobe with accessories. Have you heard the saying, its easier to update the rugs and pillows rather than buying a new  sofa? I apply that same concept to clothes. Indulge in a fun trendy item here and there, but invest the  most in classic pieces that are always chic and never dated because they are timeless.

 I love denim or motorcycle jackets with girlie dresses. What are some of your favorite looks?

Have an amazing day!
