Holiday Fashion

I love Christmas and New Year’s. It’s a season full of celebrating family, love, the season, and all of our blessings. It’s also a great fashion opportunity! Two chances within a week of each other to wear something extra special! And that doesn’t include the holiday parties that you may be invited to; which would mean additional extra special fashion moments! And who doesn’t love a good extra special fashion moment?

I have been planning my Christmas look since Thanksgiving. I’m at the point where all I need are my accessories. I already have the actual outfit and shoes and I am very excited about it! No advanced pictures or big hints! But I will say this: I will be warm, on trend and sassy! LOL

If you aren’t an early outfit planner, like me, then I am here to help with some wardrobe suggestions! Use this holiday season as a chance to step out of your comfort zone and have some fun! If you already live outside of the box then… keep doing that! 

Here are some outfit ideas based on the big trends for Fall/Winter 2011/12:

Menswear Inspired suits & High-Waist Pants: Pair a tailored blazer with a wide leg trouser pant. Make the look feminine with accessories, sky high pumps or bold red lips! Now it’s time to show men who REALLY wears the pants in the family!






Shine: Like a little drama in your wardrobe? Whether it’s sequins or metallic, wearing apparel that shines will make you not only trendy but you’ll also light up the party!







Bold Colors: Bold colors aren’t just for the summer anymore. Bold colors like teal, deep purple, tomato red, and mustard are big this Fall/Winter. Add some color and fun to your look this holiday! And don’t be afraid to mix/match; color blocking is a huge trend as well.





 
Printed Tights/Over-The-Knee Socks: Plain tights, look out! Fun, printed tights and over-the-knee socks are huge right now! Whether they look like faux garters or leopard print, they all add a definite conversation starter to your look!





Ankle Length Pants: Even though there’s a chill in the air now, showing a little ankle is still completely acceptable and fashionable! Just pair these with a hot pair of suede booties or patent pumps.




Knee length/Pencil Skirts: These skirts aren’t just for the office anymore! Throw on this staple piece with a fun top, tights (maybe even a printed pair!), and some boots/pumps.




Faux Fur: Faux fur is HUGE right now and the cold weather makes it a perfect trend for this holiday season. It adds a luxe feel to your look. Whether it’s a fur vest, fur collar, fur trimmed boots, any way (except maybe pants…that may be a little weird!) it’s a hot, cold weather look!




Hope these fun tips helped! I can’t wait to share the pictures of my ensemble! It features a couple trends I mentioned above! You’ll see which ones in about 2 weeks! So stay tuned!

Love,
Coco

My Resurrection

On March 19, 2017, I took a huge step in my spiritual journey. I walked into a baptism pool, lowered myself into the holy water, and allowed my mind, spirit, heart and body to be cleansed. I rose up from the water with a new outlook. I was ready to embark on the next steps of my journey as a baptized woman. A year later, I am reflecting upon the 365 plus days since my baptism and I am amazed by the growth I've experienced. Was the journey easy? Absolutely not. Was it easier to face the battles and adversity after renewing my relationship with God? Absolutely. I have constantly been reminded that God never said weapons wouldn't form. He said they wouldn't prosper (Isaiah 54:17) . I hit some bumps in the road (spiritually, financially, mentally, and physically). I went through a short season of confusion and lack of motivation. I was angry with God. I yelled at Him! (Ever seen me yelling and upset? Then you know this wasn't cute!) Literally, ye...

Make Your Ugly Christmas Sweater Fabulous

It seems as if you cant go anywhere without seeing an Ugly Christmas Sweater section. Even Walmart has a set up! Everyone is preparing for all of the parties with this wonderfully unattractive theme. Ive even been invited to one this year. So, its time for us to pull out the best of our worst in our sweater collection. Keep in mind, just because your sweater is supposed to be "ugly" doesnt mean the rest of your look cant be fabulous. Here are a few looks to help you get ready for the #UglyChristmasSweater season! Be fabulously "ugly"! Love, Coco #CocosChaos #HappyHolidays

Starting With The Woman In The Mirror

        Ive “let myself go” recently... havent pampered myself or put much effort into my outward appearance for awhile because I was uncomfortable with my “new body”. I didnt know how to be Courtney anymore because I didnt feel like Courtney anymore. The girl that had hundreds of clothing items has had her closet reduced to a few things that “fit” and a few others she cant bring herself to part with (the local Goodwill dropoff bay has seen me often this year).  Im tired of looking in the mirror and not feeling my best. Im tired of just being “okay” with the way I look.  Im done being insecure, unsure of myself & weighed down (no pun intended) by the extra pounds. I have to love myself no matter what size I wear. No matter what the scale says.  Changes are happening. Mentally. Physically. Emotionally. Im changing. Im caring again. Im going to love myself again. Inside and out. Get ready for a comeback! ...
