Fall Back to Classic

Happy Daylight savings!
Did you fall back last night?  I totally did, and I felt justified staying up late, because I get an extra hour today!
 
You just can't go wrong with the classics right?
black- check
leather- check
houndstooth- check
fabulous heels- check
 
I got some new hair!  I cut about 5-6 inches off too!
I feel like a new woman!  I've wanted to put some dark in for a while, but I'm still blond.  Love it!
Enjoy your Sunday!

Pleather... and I'm hosting Fab Fav's... yea!

I hope you all had a happy Halloween!
It rained here, but at least it was warm!  The warm part isn't normal here this time of year!
I'll be posting about that Saturday at Perspective.
 
I'm so excited to be hosting this weeks Fab Favorites with Lauren @ Style Elixir!
Welcome to all of you fashionista's that are visiting... so glad to have you here!
 
I finally did it... I wore my pleather leggings!
I bought them forever ago, in fact both these leggings and this top are out for the first time on this wear!  I did it... and you know what... I liked it!
 
I feel much more comfy in these with the lycra back, than I would full pleather!  They are more forgiving!  My butt would look like a black disco mirror ball if I wore those!  Not quite as slick and firm as the skinny, bottomless, 20 year olds!  BUT, I don't have to be... lycra back! 
 
This necklace is now up for sale at CCMakesStuff on Storenvy... I only have 4 left!
Happy Friday!


Do you love that my hair looks like I just stuck my finger in a light socket?  I totally wore it like this all day!  Messy look right?

Stripes, dots and leopard OH MY!

Doesn't that sound like 'The Wizard of Oz'?
That is what this look is today... a little bit of everything.  But it totally works!
 
In case you didn't know... Tuesday's I host a link up on my main blog Perspective } Inspire Me.
Check it out!  I'd love for you to join in.  I like to take things that you are wearing to inspire a look of my own!
 







 
Nothing is new here.  I got all of it last year I believe at +Marshalls .
Shoes are +Old Navy

Posing... and a two-fer

I'm a photographer... really I am... I have a little biz!
 
As a photographer I know the importance of posing.  Seriously it's amazing how standing a certain way makes you look 10 lbs heavier or lighter... unless you look like this, than it really doesn't matter...  actually I take that back, even stick figures can look better with the right posing!
 
 
When I'm taking pictures I tell people to adjust here and there to help them look their best, lift your chin, twist like this a little... etc.
 
My problem is when I stand in front of the camera and my children or husband is behind it... no one is telling me what adjustments I need to make! 
 
This is why I prefer to shoot in front of the mirror!  I can see what needs to change, what looks most flattering and I go with it! 
 
Last post I told you I'd show you how I wore that purple shirt... not that it was a momentous occasion.... I actually am not in love with this look... I think it's the shoes... but I am wearing my purchase... that's the point... I think!
 
 
 
 I so love this jacket!  Not so flattering pose here!

 
Here is where it gets good!  Because after looking at my photos, then doing a retake, trying to make my own posing adjustments, my daughter getting tired of camera duty, little E ready to go play with his sister... who is taking pictures... I let it all hang out! 
 
I feel more comfortable this way actually!  This is more of who I am!
My kids were rolling on the ground laughing!  They love it when I'm a goof, which is often!



 
Now for the two-fer, because I'd hate to leave you with this last image of me!!!  That is for sure a 'Thriller' moment right?
 
Just another weekday, wearing perfect fitting jeans, you know!
I love this sweater.  It is sheer-ish and is woven with some gold.  It's fab!




 
I layered a couple of necklaces... and I don't love this lip color... not to self, don't wear it!


See, sheer...

Can you see the gold too?  Love it!
 
 First look all came from +Marshalls except the necklace, which I can't remember!
Second look top, Marshalls.  jeans, LA Idol.  shoes, Burlington
 
I'm getting new hair today!  So excited!

What's New Review... Wine and Leopard

Good Morning!
Some info... Wednesday's I'm posting at Perspective.
I've started an Inspire Me link party.  Be sure to hop over and jump on. 
I'll be featuring looks that inspire me each week from those that link up... check it out!
 
This week it's cooling down outside... yea, time for sweaters and layers and boots oh my!
I can't believe Halloween is next week... still have some costume items to get for the kiddies... are you ready?  Do you dress up?
 
Here are some newer items to my closet.
I wore that gray guy the day after I bought it... see it HERE.
I've also worn the purple tee, I'll show that tomorrow.
Today I'm showing off this wine tee...
 
 
 The color and bits of leather are what caught my eye.
I paired this tee with my animal print pants.
I went with a boot to help keep me warm.


I rocked this cute jacket again!  I'm totally getting my $ worth on this purchase!



I ended up finding these adorable shoes while I was out that day... these both are great options... which do you like best, boot, flat or heel?


I'm totally excited about this find.  I've been looking for a little peep toe bootie


One last look...
