1...2...3...Purge!

My closet is like any other closet in that it is filled with clothes, shoes, handbags and accessories! However, recently my closet has become too dense with all these items for my liking.  I have so much stuff that I'm literally having a hard time finding room to make everything fit and sometimes can't find a particular item that I'm looking for because I can't readily see it among the mass.  I sometimes feel as if  I'm looking for a needle in a haystack when searching for some pieces to wear.


So, in an effort to relieve myself (and my DH) of this dilemma, I decided to begin the process of purging my closet. I purchased the hangers above at Ross (I believe $8.99 for 18)  because not only do I want to purge my closet, I also want to improve the presentation of my clothes.  The idea I have is to make it look like a little boutique, thus I will also purchase other items to organize  and decorate my closet as well.

Maxing it out in London Times

London Times Keyhole Neck Blouson Maxi Dress

Found this beauty at Ross!  It was the only one left in the store and thus I had to have it. Didn't have time to put it on and take pics, so I thought I'd share in case you may want to visit your local Ross store and get your shop on!  


I can't wait for the opportunity to wear this dress and take pics!  When I do, I'll be sure to create a new post to share.

What "We" Wore!


I've included my DH in this post, because I love his sense of style and hopefully you will too!  Had to give him a kiss before we started, because he is so supportive in helping me with my many projects including this one.  Love you boo!

Kimono Top - White House Black Market/ Skirt - Ellen Tracy/ Shoes - Chinese Laundry
Visited a local thrift store and picked up this beautiful Kimono White House Black Market top for $8!  I also picked up the ring and bracelet.  I love to find good deals and I scored big this day!

Suit - Joseph Abboud Custom Made/ Shirt - Calibrate Slim Fit/ Shoes - Magnanni
DH is wearing a Joseph Abboud custom made suit.  He is also wearing a Calibrate dress shirt that features a slim fit throughout, and is distinguished with a classic gingham pattern in pink. He completes his look wearing a white silk pocket square and Magnanni "Santiago" Cap Toe Oxfords in cognac. The shirt and shoes can be purchased at Nordstrom.  BTW, Nordstrom is currently having its men's half yearly sale!


Now that my DH has gotten use to being photographed, my blog will include a section for men's fashion.  


Closing this entry with lots of love!  Thanks for stopping by and for reading.

What I Wore - Boca Raton

Armani Exchange Sweater T-shirt/ MODA International White Sweater Pants
I know, better late than never and I am so late, but anyhow, here is what I wore on day two of our trip.   For breakfast we dined outdoors.  That morning started off a bit chilly, so I opted for my Armani Exchange sweater t-shirt and a pair of light weight sweater pants.  
Repair Denim Cardigan/ Nautica Jeans/ Gap T-Shirt/ Guess Leather Skate Shoes
It began to warm up quite a bit by mid morning, thus we changed into much lighter clothes (swimwear) before heading to the beach.

Upon returning from the beach we rested a bit before heading out to dinner at the resort's Sea Grille.
Dinner at Sea Grille

For starters we had their Thinly Crisped Lobster Bites with sour orange cocktail and mustard sauce.  For our main dish we ordered their Banana Leaf Baked Black Cod.  The fish was miso glazed and served with edamame and bok choy.  Each bite of the fish just melted into our mouths.  I must find a recipe to recreate this dish at home.  I know it will be family favorite!


You can't see it in the images, but we dined next a window overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
Dress W118 by Walter Baker
I rocked two strands twists that evening.  See, you CAN rock this style and be stylish!


The day we were to leave we learned that the city was expected to receive thunderstorms and lots of rain.  We were so thankful that the weather was nothing short of just beautiful our entire stay!  We enjoyed our stay and our much needed time together.

What I Wore! Maxi Dress

Wow, time goes by so fast!  There are times/days when I wished there were more hours in the day!
Well, as promised, here are images of the Calypso Christiane Celle Maxi dress I wore in Boca Raton.  On this day the images were taken, I just arrived home from church.  This time instead of wearing my strands in twists, I opted for a twist-out.


The dress is of white linen with silk trimming along the neckline, sleeves and hemline.
