Shein Leopard Print Dress

I really love the fit, fabric and print of my dress from Shein!  
I am wearing the dress in a size medium, and the fit is pretty much perfect.  The cups are padded, and structured, and the straps are adjustable.

There is a zipper up the back of the dress, but the fabric is plenty stretchy, making for a very comfortable fit.  This is a great option for Valentine's Day, or any other date night!  The leopard print is super sexy, yet the length keeps this looking a little more conservative.  It would also look great with a nice blazer, or even with a black turtleneck worn underneath.

This dress is a good example of the print and style I would take with me on a trip.  It seems to be wrinkle resistant, and it's something that would look great for dinners out.

Black Velvet Cap

I wore this outfit on the trip down to Ashville last month. 

Everything I am wearing, except for the leggings, all came from Goodwill.  I love the decorative details on the front of the zippered sweater jacket.  I thought the red was perfect for the Christmas season, too.

Most importantly, I wanted to be warm and comfortable for the long trip down the Ashville, so I opted for casual, but cute clothing.

I am standing out front of the Crown Plaza where we stayed out first night in town.  It was a nice stay!

Mauve Beret

I am wearing my new mauve beret for this OOTD post.   This beret is of such good quality, I can't believe it is under five dollars!  It comes in a lot of other colors, too!  I bought another one like it in a pretty blue, as well.  I am looking forward to wearing them both the rest of the winter and into spring.

The sweater I am wearing is one I bought from Goodwill lately, and the skirt is the one from Shein that I have been wearing so much since I received it!  It is so versatile!

Shein Gold Velvet Pants

For today's post I am wearing my new, gold velvet pants from Shein.  The color is what I love most about these pants!  The color is gorgeous, and I think it is going to look especially great come next fall!  It is also a color that is going to look great with many other colors.

These pants feature pockets, so if that's one thing you look for in pants, you will be happy with these.  I also like the fact that they are higher waisted.

I chose size large for the pants, and I think they fit pretty well, though I perhaps could have gone down one size.   I ended up hemming the legs because they were a little long on me ( I am 5'2").

Christmas at the Biltmore 2018 Vlog

After lots of drama, I am finally able to publish my Biltmore Christmas vacation vlog.  We had issues with what turned out to be a fake SD card I purchased from Ebay for my smartphone.  All of my photos ended up being corrupted and I ended up spending more on two different recovery apps to get the images and video back.  Some video is still damaged, as you will be able to see.  Thankfully my father was the one who didn't give up, and realized my photos were still able to be recovered!



Please check it out and leave a comment!

Winter White Hat

 I just bought this hat from Roses a couple of days ago.  It was on sale for $5 so I also bought it in red.  It says it's a beret, but the shape is a little different than what I am used to wearing as a beret.
Regardless, I think it looks nice and I am pretty sure I will get lots of use out of them both since I love wearing hats.

The sweater skirt is one I bought recently from Bliss Thrift Store, in Victoria, Virginia.   The necklace is one of the dollar ones I bought on sale from Walmart lately.

Zebra Striped Blouse

The blouse, jacket and pants I am wearing are all items I bought at  Goodwill $5 bag sale a few weeks ago.  Each item ended up being about 25 cents, making the outfit under one dollar!

My favorite item is the zebra print blouse since it fits me perfectly.  A lot of the time with button down blouses, the sleeves are too long and the shoulders don't line up with mine, but this one is perfect.

The red wool jacket I am wearing is a little too big for me, but it is nice to have a few pieces for wearing with chunky sweaters in the winter, so I do not really mind.

Luvyle Women's Attire

Today's post is on cheap women's clothes by Luvyle.  I will be sharing six of my favorites pieces.  There is something for every season, and most every occasion.  Let me know which is your favorite in the comments!


This first dress is so pretty, and perfect for a romantic summer get-a-way.
 The ruffles are beautiful, and make it more interesting than just a plain, basic dress. I could totally see wearing this on a tropical cruise!

Wow!  I just adore this gorgeous print of this long sleeved, maxi dress.  This is also another piece I can see wearing on vacation.  The black and gold it so pretty, and very on trend right now.

I love the pretty shade of pink, and the pearl details on this long-sleeved dress. I think this item would be perfect for spring.  With the long sleeves it works great for those mild spring days when it is still not too hot.

I am so into crushed velvet and velour this winter!  I love the way it catches the light, and adds glamour to even the most basic of clothing items.  The mini dress is very pretty, and I am betting very comfortably as well.  Pieces like this are great for travel because they are so small, and also the crushed velour fabric will not wrinkle, or at least it will not show wrinkles.

Okay, here is more crushed velour.  This one has long sleeves, making it perfect for the rest of winter, and early spring here in a place like Virginia.  The color is very pretty, and will also look fabulous for next fall. I love wearing dark reds and burgundy in the fall season.

I wore an embroidered dress similar to this one last year and I received so many compliments.  This would be such a gorgeous gown to wear to a spring or summer wedding, or any other nice occasion.

Gray Beret

I am wearing my new gray beret that I purchased from Aliexpress. This beret is a nice quality, and on the softer side.  I am sill slowly, but surely collecting then in lots of colors.  I would also like a darker gray one.  I am currently waiting to receive a white one with pearls, and a beautiful, light green one.

The skirt is one I bought lately from Goodwill, and the black wool jacket is made by Talbot's, and one that I bought from Goodwill last year.  It's the perfect jacket, and I have been wearing it a lot alreay this fall and winter season.

The necklace and earrings are something I bought just last week from my favorite place to buy jewelry, Lowemart.

Paisley Pants

Happy weekend!

I am wearing a necklace I just bought this week from the Goodwill in South Hill, Virginia.  I love the natural, fall colors of the stones!  I thought it matched very well with the paisley pants I am wearing.  

Yet again, I am wearing my new Shein sweater.  It really does go with so many things! The sweater came with a matching skirt.

Burgundy Jacket

The colors in this outfit would be perfect for fall, but I think they also work well in winter.  The jacket is one I bought in the L.A. fashion district.  The print top is one I bought from a thrift store several years ago.

The pants are ones I got in a $5 bag sale at Goodwill a few weeks ago.  They were only about 25 cents!  I like the dark navy blue color.  I think I will be wearing them a lot.  I also like the high waist.

Houndstooth Leggings

I am enjoying getting out, in spite of temps in the 40's, it's not so bad.  It rained this evening, but the day started out nice and sunny. 
I had another fun day shopping with my family.

I am wearing my over-the-knee boots I bought at Goodwill while in Ashville, NC last month.  I really like them except for the fact the heels are so tall!  I prefer to wear flats most of the time, unless they are wedges.  And usually wedges are sandals, so most of the time it's only summer when I wear them.

Orange Turban

For today's post I decided to share these photos from last summer.
Hard to believe it gets that warm when we are in the dead of winter right now!

I went with all kinds of shades of orange for this OOTD.  Even the sunglasses are orange!  Color is usually more muted in my winter wardrobe.  It just seems too cold for brights like orange these days.

This sweater skirt is great because it goes so well with so many other items in my wardrobe.  I will probably be wearing this a lot, right up until it becomes too warm in the spring.

Blue Sleep Set

The electricity went off this morning, and stayed off until around 3 or 4 p.m.  It was a pretty cold and unfun day until we got our heat back!

For today's post I am sharing some photos from warmer days...modeling a Ekouaer sleep set from Amazon.

Beige Striped Sweater

It's had been snowing here in southern Virginia today.  I would rather there be no snow, but we might as well enjoy it!

I am wearing one of the berets I bought from Aliexpress, and a sweater from Goodwill.  I think the sweater goes very well with the Walmart leggings.  The cowboy boots are also from Goodwill. I love the beige color!  It's so unique for cowboy boots!

Black and White Sweater Skirt

I can't belive january is almost half over already!  

Pretty soon it will be time for Vaughan and I to celebrate our "meeting anniversary" on the 25th.  It's nice to have something else to look forward to in January, in case of the post holiday blues.

Do you have any events planned for this month?

Right now, we are waiting to see how much snow we are going to be getting in the area this weekend.  Hopefully not much!  At least this time around, we actually bought a snow shovel!  The last snow, we didn't have one so we made it a point to buy one before it snowed again.  

My dad went out shopping today and said shelves were empty in the stores.  We luckily have plenty in our pantry and freezer, so we are going to be okay for a while, anyway!
