I use to be so afraid of color. My entire wardrobe consisted of black, grey and white/ivory. I even wore French tip nails for YEARS because I wouldn't dare wear "color" on my hands. It feels good to step outside of my comfort zone. Today was a very full day. I had so much today. This picture was taken around 7 pm. I...
Today was a beautiful sunny, crisp day! This is what I wore to hang out and run errands with the family. This cardi wrap is Simplicity 2603. It's been a favorite of mine since I made it in Fall 2010. The fabric is a Sonia Rykiel sweater knit that came with a hefty price tag. Considering it doesn't have a single pill on...

This will probably be the first pattern I'll buy and make from this collection. 1285 - Tracy Reese I love Tracy Reese! And this is a great dress that can...
"No white jeans after Labor Day? Who are you, my grandmother? I'll wear white jeans whenever I want!" (That Tide commercial cracks me up!) ESPECIALLY when it's 75 degrees in the middle of January! I always talk about the crazy weather we have here often. Because from day-to-day, you never know what you're going to get. Just like it was in the...
When I saw this look on Tumblr, I knew I had all of the components (except the cute striped clutch) in my closet. So I pinned it as a reminder. Pinterest via STYLE EST ÉTERNEL It was chilly this morning and 70 degrees by this afternoon. Perfect outfit for layering. Jacket: Vogue 8480 (I changed the covered buttons to gold buttons). ...
This is another Date Night look! We went to see Red Tails and it was EXCELLENT! I highly recommend it! It was rainy today, so it created a warm and humid night. I wanted to look winter-appropriate but cool at the same time. So I pulled out one of my all time favorite projects: my crocheted lace dress**. This dress is 6 1/2...
Today, it was pretty chilly. It was in the mid to high 40s, but that's chilly for the Deep South. But I'm afflicted by a condition that leaves me with the inability to drive in a coat. So if I'm just going somewhere that I can park and dash in, a blazer it is! One of the benefits of living in a driving...
Date Night Look! This is McCall's 6436, view D. The description says: Loose fitting, front and back darts and front band. View D: Collar, collar band and pleated two piece sleeve. The most awesome thing about this pattern is that it's sized based on bra cup size. I used the size 14 and the D cup. Ladies, you know what that...

I'm still in love with color blocking and I can't see that love affair waning anytime soon. I plan to carry it right over into spring! My red pants have become one of my most favorite clothing items this season. I make it a priority to wear them at least once a week. Sam Edelman pumps last seen here. And you know...
