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

Its Spring!...Kinda.

Depending on where you are in the country and what day of the week it is, Winter is making its exit and Spring is sashaying in. Gone are the days of covering up as much skin as possible to avoid the savage chill of winter's wrath. Now, we can bask in the warmth of the sun and the cool breezes of Springtime. According to my calendar, Spring "officially" started about a week ago. If you are lucky enough to live in a place that has seen a rise in temperatures and the return of the sun, this post is for you! If your area's temperatures havent quite gotten that "Its Spring!" memo yet, I'm sorry. Maybe you can think happy, warm thoughts and use this post as inspriation as you daydream about the warm weather ensembles you will debut when the temperature catches up to the calendar.  I, for one, am very excited about Spring. I love any weather that allows me to either particiapte in #SundressSeason or wear my go-to jeans and a cute tank and sandals. I really love...

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! ...

I See...

Mirror, Mirror on the wall I stare in you and watch tears fall As I try to convince myself of my worth I try to convince myself that Im enough MORE than enough Mirror, Mirror showing my scars Pinpointing all my flaws Should I even look at you anymore Should I even allow you to see me To see ALL of me? Mirror, Mirror Look away I’ll refund you the attention you paid Let me stand here in my skin Allow me to look at myself Every inch of this frame Mirror, Mirror look at me I dont need you to see The true beauty that I encompass  The perfect imperfections that make ME  that shape ME I will stare you down and win  Never will you steal my confidence again I will see what is really there Not the image you portray I see ME and I see my WORTH and I see what you tried to do Im watching you, Mirror -Courtney L (2/17/18)  #Worthy #AMirrorCantSeeYourTrueBeauty #SelfConfidence #LoveYourself
