Stripes and Spikes

 Happy Tuesday; I'm back....lol. I feel like I have been gone from the blog for so, so long. I have been posting pics on instagram and I could not put up these pictures that I took after church a few weeks ago. I just do not know how people manage multiple social network platforms while achieving a balance in their personal life. I'm still trying to learn how to create a balance.

I purchased this stripe dress from Loft last summer  and created a polyvore  outfit to style it that I blogged about here. The weather was not too cold on the day I wore this outfit so I decided to use a sleeveless trench instead. I accessorized with this red Express clutch for a pop of color and my spiked heels. Do you know that this sleeveless trench is a DIY piece? It had sleeves when I purchased it and I just took the sleeves off. I actually bought the trench on sale and since the discount was good, I decided to purchase two of them. I took the sleeves off of one to make a sleeveless trench and kept the other just as it is. It might not make sense to some people but I got some satisfaction from making the DIY.

I wish you all the best in the new week. Is the weather great where you are? Mine is just beautiful over here because it does not feel like the typical fall weather. It was cold a day or  day or two last week and then it warmed up again.

 

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by
