Fashion Friday: Holy Crapoly! Ann’s Got Her Groove Back.

I remember the ole’ college days when my girlfriends and I dreamed of the day that we could afford Ann Taylor clothes.  It was all the rage.  Then over the years, AT became (ok, I am just going to say it…..)  busted.    I am here to tell you the old Ann is gone.. this girl’s got a brand new look and it is on point.   I was watching the Today show yesterday and spotted this neon number and my eyes just about popped out of my head.
 So, of course, I went right to my computer and was stunned at the newest jewelry collection.

Fashion Friday: Loving Leopard.

I adore animal prints.  Leopard and Zebra are at the top of my list. I love to rock my Wildcat blouse from J. Crew.  ( Sold out, #1 below.)
Whenever I wear it, Mike calls me Peg Bundy.  So, it got me to thinking that there is a lot of tasteful leopard out there, but there is even more not-so-tasteful leopard.  First, let’s take a look at leopard done right.
This is obviously leopard gone wrong.  
Here are some tips to get it right:
  • Leopard print clothing should not be tight.
  • Stay away from spandex, rayon and velour.
  • Leopard print is a statement.  Don’t make too many statements in one outfit.
  • Stick to one leopard print piece per outfit.  (Steer clear of matching shoes, handbag, etc.)
  • For a more updated look, mix leopard print with bright fun colors, think green, blue, orange, pink.
  • Stay away from leopard athletic wear.
  • Everything in moderation.  
Here are some of my favorite leopard items of the moment.  Please do not wear more than one at a time. 😉

Pink and Red.

Using this scarf as inspiration for the design of our guest room, I have pink and red on my mind as of late.  The good news is that color combo couldn’t be any hotter right now.  I am loving this trend, and it’s just in time for Valnetine’s Day.

Here are some of my favorite items in this color combo:

What I’m Loving for Fall.

There are so many items that I want for fall.  My Fall Forecast will tell you to stock up on brightly colored bottoms, leopard anything, gold flats, and I (not a surprise coming from me) chunky gold jewelry. Dark nails are not a thing of the past, and everything is more fun with a little glitter.
 I need to keep reminding myself that I am on a budget and I have two kids who will need to go to college someday… not to mention the two over-the-top weddings that they will have.  I must admit, I have bought a few items on this list (ahem…. #’s 1, 4 and 6, to be exact.) The only two that are out of my price range are of course the two I love the most!  Hopefully some of you can throw caution to the wind and I can live vicariously through you.
