I hope you all had a really great and fun-filled weekend. Mine had nothing out of the ordinary happen. I'm just grateful to be able to see another one come and go; especially with my birthday coming up this week (yay!!)
Anyway, Sunday was just like any other: we got up and attended church. Just like any other Sunday, I try to put my best foot forward when it comes to what I wear. I feel as though I don't really have a set style when it comes to getting dressed. It really depends on how I'm feeling when I get up. Sometimes I already know what to put on before I even go into my closet. Other days, I'm definitely playing it by ear (so to speak.)
So, I decided to break out my yellow pants from Eloquii that I got on sale last year. Yellow is one of those colors that definitely allows you to stand out when you put it on. I've always been a fan of bright colors, but since I'm pear shaped, it's kinda frowned upon to wear them on the bottom half of your body. If you're feeling self-conscious, you can wear something like a kimono to lessen the emphasis on your bottom half and provide some coverage.
This kimono is one of my absolute favorite pieces. I actually wore this same one as a model in a local fashion show and it's been in heavy rotation ever since. True style comes when you can wear your favorite pieces with several different items you already own. Plus, you get your money's worth because you're not just wearing it once and sticking it in the back of your closet. No one wants to waste money on one-and-done clothes.
Off shoulder tops are still on trend and don't look as though they're going anywhere any time soon. That's great for me because I love them so much! They can be dressed up or down and fit numerous occasions. But, since I'm not bold enough to wear one to church, the kimono serves as the perfect cover up.
As I get older, I get a little more bold with my style. Once you reach a certain point in your life, you become more about self and what will make you happy at the end of the day. Break out of that shell you've been enclosed in for so long! And that's what life is about. As long as you're not hurting others in the process. Oh, and just in case you were interested, here's a close-up of the necklace I'm wearing.
It's an early birthday present to myself (which I'm starting to do more for myself.) Take time for yourself, and remember to enjoy the sunshine whenever you can. Cause you just never know...
