Weekend "T" for three.

Hello Fans of Fashion!

   As spring nears its end and the weekend approaches, I am eager to post this week's 2WBT1 item. Using your creativity with basic items is an excellent way to expand the possibilities for your inner fashionista.  Two weeks ago, I featured a fabulous navy, mini skirt.


   The most fabulous thing about this mini skirt is that it isn't really a skirt at all. This item is actually a very versatile T-shirt dress. T-shirt dresses are splendid for the buyer on a budget. They are quite easy to find at a great price and are extremely functional. 
   As a lady who loves fashion and tends to overbook my spring Saturdays, I thought it best to show you three great ways to wear your T-shirt dress on a busy and sunny weekend day. 

Wear it as a skirt:
Saturday Morning Outing






With this look, I chose to wear my T-shirt dress as a mini skirt. To create a look that is both cute and comfortable for a sunny morning, combine it with a tight, high neck tank and a snazzy blazer.  Add a pair of strappy, stiletto sandals and a matching belt to design a look that is perfect for a Saturday morning coffee meeting or a lovely brunch with friends. 


Wear it as a dress: 
Saturday Afternoon Errands



This outfit is perfect for running weekend errands. Let's face it, when we go grocery shopping, all we really want to do is wear a cozy T-shirt and some sweats. With this look, our wish is fashionably granted. When paired with a boyfriend button down and some comfy flats, this T-shirt dress becomes a comfortable and practical way to get weekend tasks done in style. 


Wear it as a shirt:
Saturday Evening Dinner Date 




   In these photos, I decided to fashion the dress as a shirt. When worn as a shirt, this particular dress becomes a lengthy, loose T. Pairing it with a tight mini skirt, bringing in the waist with a belt, and adding a pair of strappy wedges, gives it that fabulous feminine feel. Adding a nice blazer and some accessories to complete the look will create an outfit that is perfect for a pleasant evening date. 

Stay Lovely,

    I LOVE this! I have a t-shirt dress I was thinking about the other day being kind of boring when I used to wear it all the time! Now I will definitely pull it back out!

Fancy Feet: Post 1.

Hello Friends of Fashion! It has been far too long. Hope you all have enjoyed these past few weeks and have been able to add summer enhancements to your closets without breaking the bank. For me, this past month has been filled with summer events that have kept me away for a while. Unfortunately, plans for a busy August will most likely continue to keep me away. However, it will be an excellent month filled with party planning, weddings, and concerts. As I may be MIA for most of the upcoming month, I felt I should leave you with a taste of what is to come later this year... This post is a preview for those of you who are, what I like to call, "Shoe-a-holics." ;) Sometimes, I find shoes at thrift stores that seem as though they just need a splash of personal adornment. Other times, shoes that I already own begin to seem repetitive and just need a bit of upgrading. Often times, I simply crave a shoe that offers a unique style and a touch of personality. Being a lover of c...

I Have My Mother's "Jeans".

Hello Beauties!    Hope you all have been able to discover some lovely looks while playing dress up in your closets these past few days. This week, I am posting for those of you who enjoy a look that is fashionably funky.    This week I am very excited to show you two ways to wear a very easy to find "hand me down" item. ( RR-Embrace Secondhand ). Anything high waisted is one of my favorite looks for this year. Fortunately, most of you probably have a lady in your life who owns a pair of "Mom" Jeans. If you don't, no need to fret, they are very easy to find at your local thrift store. Look for a pair of high waisted jeans in any color. If they happen to have a wide leg cut, here is a quick trick to help give them more of a modern feel. Step 1: Put on a standard pair of jeans with a wide leg cut. Step 2: In the back, tightly gather the bottom of the jeans and tie a hair tie or rubber band around the bunch you have created. Step 3: Roll the jeans up...
