Shape FX glossy black diamond quilted messenger bag

I had no idea that Shape FX carries bags. Thought they were strictly clothing.

This bag looks nice and big. The description does say it is roomy. I can’t find the price because it seems to be currently out of stock.

It’s interesting how you can usually tell the difference between high end designer bags and bags that aren’t high end designer bags” but who can afford high end designer bags?

This bag isn’t a high end designer bag by any means but it’s still a nice bag. I like how it looks with the red top and black leather pants the model is wearing. Quilted Messenger Bag by Shape fx®

Green shoes go with a yellow dress but what about yellow shoes with a green dress?

0

I’m not sure how I feel about wearing yellow shoes with a green dress. I’m not as positively struck by the contrast of green and yellow when it’s the dress that’s green and the shoes yellow as when it’s the shoes that are green and the dress yellow.

Green dress yellow shoes

I guess the key with wearing yellow shoes with a green dress is matching the right shade of yellow with the right shade of green. The same is probably true for yellow dress green shoes combinations. You probably wouldn’t wear neon green shoes with a dress in an equally glaring shade of yellow.

Yellow shoes with a green dress can work but it doesn’t seem like it’s as easy to find the perfect blend between the two colors when the shoes are going to be yellow as when the shoes are going to be green.

I think yellow shoes are more difficult to wear well generally.

I continue to be amazed by how yellow and green complement each other. The shade of yellow in this dress and the shade of green in the shoes go beautifully together. I’d probably do a green belt that matches the green in the shoes but otherwise I think this outfit is gorgeous.

I can see this dress going very nicely with nude or tan shoes as well” and a belt in a color that matches the shoes.

I’ve seen some sets with blue shoes and I’m not sure I find that blue and yellow go as well together as green and yellow.

I personally would not wear a belt with this dress. I’d buy it expressly for it’s promise of a long loose fitting dress.

It is still ridiculously noisy outside my window and it’s now 4:19PM. Have to start filling my mind with thoughts about getting up and going to make dinner then working out for an hour. Not sure if I’ll just dance for an hour or put in an hour with Dave Sinclair via the fitness channel. I probably need to do Dave Sinclair.

As for the dress. I like it. I want it. It would be a great dress to have in my closet. It would be even nicer if it came in some other colors. I would love to have it in a tan color green light blue and coral.

The dress looks nice with the belt but for me belting the waste (yikes), [I meant waist of course] is not doable.

I also like the hat shown in the set. It’s real cute.

I don’t particularly love the sandals shown in the set. I’d probably get a pair that match the color of the belt.

It is so noisy outside my window and I am sleepy and it’s only sixteen minutes past noon. Just checked out Payless and saw these black Jupiter platform sandals with leopard print platform and red heel.
Payless Brash Women's Jupiter Platform Sandal

Payless says the heel is red but it looks more burgundy to me” but then sometimes things look in pictures a different color from what they are in reality.

The Jupiter sandals come in a wide variety of colors. They have a 5.5″ heel with 1.5″ platform and to read the reviews they are great shoes and super comfortable” but I don’t have a pair so can’t vouch from personal experience.

One person apparently loved the shoes so much she bought one in every available color. Looks like they come in about 7 colors so that would be just over $200 spent for 7 pairs of shoes.

Love this cute little green dress. This is the style of dress I’m looking for right now. Not sure if this would be a style considered age appropriate only if you’re 22 though.

I know when you get past 29 people want to give you corner eye looks of disapproval if you wear anything that has a hemline above the knees or that leaves your arms bare.

I’d love to get this dress in this shamrock green color as well as in black blue red tan purple and maybe yellow.

I think black or nude/tan beige brown shoes or green would be the best color to wear with this dress. Silver or gold jewelry or the same color as the shoes.

Marigold and black round stone earrings framed-gold

It is 9:27AM EST. Have been awake for hours. I’m wearing a blue dress that I bought from JC Penny last year I think. It’s nice and comfy except for the safety pin that keeps scratching me. One of the straps broke so I had to fasten it with a safety pin; but none of that has anything to do with these earrings.
Marigold and black round stone earrings framed-gold

I went browsing for some nice jewelry and came across these earrings. I don’t really wear earrings per se; but I’d still collect them if I had the funds to spend and these I would definitely add to my collection.

These earrings are $18. They are made of lead-free metal and plastic and each measures 3.25 inches in length and 1.5 inches in width (approximate),. I saw a picture on the modcloth.com website with a model wearing them and they are as big as they look.

I wonder if they would go with a blue dress. Maybe I’ll head over to polyvore and put something together around these earrings and a blue dress just to experiment.

Yellow silky oversized charmeuse blouse with single pocket

There’s something about this top that I like a lot but I’m not sure it isn’t just the way the model is posing that makes the top look like it would fit really nicely.

This top is very similar to this graphic zebra-print scoop neck charmeuse top. Like the zebra print top it is an oversized charmeuse top with a scoop neckline and a single pocket.

The pocket on this top looks out of place to me just like the pocket on the zebra print top. I don’t know but I’ve never really liked pockets on tops even on shirts.

I really like the silky look of this top and the vibrant color. I wonder how comfortable it would feel to wear though. Some satiny looking fabrics can be very uncomfortable against the skin and make you sweat.

Graphic zebra-print scoop neck charmeuse top

So often I find myself in a bind not being able to find a top to wear. I definitely want to build up my collection of tops. I have too few.

This graphic zebra-print scoop neck charmeuse top would be a great top to add to my collection. I like things that I can throw on with some jeans or a long bohemian skirt.

This top would go great with the brown bohemian skirt I currently own but I’m not sure it would be a great top for warm weather in which case the bohemian skirt might not be a good match since it can’t be worn in the winter. I’d have to get a nice brown skirt to go with it.

The only thing I don’t necessarily love about the top is the pocket. It kind of looks a little bit out of place to me.

Pleated surplice colorblock jersey dress with black bow at waist and sarong-style skirt

Don’t know how long the color block trend will last. We’re so fickle with our tastes in fashion.It wasn’t so long ago I’m sure if someone wore some of the color block styles that are considered hot today they would have gotten a side eye glance and a crazy label.

I like this dress. I love the contrast of the red top part and dark fuchsia(?), skirt part. Surplice styles are usually flattering on me so that’s a plus. Not sure about the sarong skirt part for someone with fibroids that make their lower abdomen protrude.

No one could accuse a woman over 30 of not being age appropriately dressed if they saw her in this dress.

I don’t 100% love the bow at the side but I also don’t absolutely hate it.

The dress is rayon/spandex jersey knit and would have to be hand washed.

I’d probably wear this dress with black or red shoes.

You can never have too many little black dresses right?

The model in this picture is so gorgeous.

I’d love to get this dress. I think it would be a nice simple little black dress that would be great to have in your closet for a day when you want to keep it simple and yet elegant.

I like the choice of burgundy for the shoes and bag. Red would also be a good option depending on where you’re going; and maybe even something in animal print. Of course you can never go wrong matching black with black so black would be a good option for the shoes and bag as well.

Short black sequined lace cocktail dress with cutout dolman sleeves

I’m sure I like this dress but not sure I love it 100%. I like the shape of it. I like the length of it for a nice little black mini dress.

What I’m not 100% sure about with this dress is the shape of the top part. The cut out dolman sleeves are fine but something about the way the dress is shaped at the top makes me not convinced it would be totally flattering on my figure. I could be wrong. I’d be willing to buy the dress to find out if I’m wrong because I think it’s a cute dress over all.

Where would I wear this dress? Not on any outing with my hubby that’s for sure. You wear a dress like that you want to feel attractive and you want to get a little bit of attention from the man you’re out with. My hubby and I have been together a bit and he’s not a guy to be thinking about making sure his woman is feeling good.

You know how some men can still remember to make their woman feel special even while they’ve been with her for ages? Not my hubby? He’d be more interested in winning the sweet smile of some female riding the elevator with us by stepping back to allow her out of the elevator ahead of him. Meanwhile his woman is standing behind him and he doesn’t step back to let her out before he gets out.

So yeah this dress would be for an outing where hubby is nowhere in sight because he’d end up making me feel like complete shyte.

Blue Nile Wide Polished 14k Yellow Gold Cuff Bracelet

Too bad I didn’t win the powerball on Wednesday. I’d have been able to afford this $3,450 bracelet then. At least I’m glad to see it’s actually real gold instead of gold plated. I’ve come across bracelets that cost more than this that are only gold plated. I can’t really understand the justification for such a price tag on something that’s gold plated.
Blue Nile braceletBlue Nile bracelet

To be honest with you I’d probably have to have at least a half billion dollars in the bank to consider spending $3 450 on a bracelet although I can more easily excuse spending $3 450 on a bracelet than on a leather handbag. You can turn the bracelet back into bread by pawning it when you run out of money. Not so sure about the leather handbag.

I like cuff bracelets generally.

According to the Blue Nile website where this bracelet is sold it weighs 35 grams and measures 1 3/8 inches. I’m probably misinterpreting the data but when I checked a currency calculator to see how much 35 grams of gold is worth right now it told me $1 830.08 so I don’t know if the bracelet would be that great a purchase given if you bought it today then turned around and tried to sell it next week you would get $1600 less than what you paid for it.

Of course I know the price of gold changes by the second but it wouldn’t be that dramatic a change between today and next week.

This dress is probably for a young twenties girl though so since I can only wear it in my imagination I’ll just imagine I’m 20 and I haven’t met the hubby yet and I’m still a virgin because I made a decision to save myself for “the one” when I was a little girl and I’m damned and determined to stand by that decision. I’m not going to be some little fool giving it away to any loser that comes along swearing he loves me getting myself knocked up and already a mother for nearly two years by the age of 20.

In my reality at 20 I was in fact raising a kid because I was that little fool who’d given it away to a number of losers just because they said they loved me and I was so pathetically desperate to be loved.

A 20 year old girl’s life should be filled with berry pink dresses with silver belts and occasions to wear them. Not with baby poop.

Sheer soft sky-blue tank and panties sleepwear set

Isn’t it something how we ladies have to be fashionable even while we sleep? Dudes can just throw on any old thing but even to go to bed we have be stylish especially if there’s going to be a dude getting into the bed with us.

Personally I like me a nice long white cotton nightgown; but this sheer soft sky-blue tank and panties sleepwear set is cute and I’m inclined to think the more items you have to chose from even of sleepwear the better.

So why not add this to my collection? Or in my case start my collection with this. Although I sort of imagine this being more suitable for a single girl to curl up in her bed on a Saturday night and read a good book. It’s girly and sweet and innocent.

If there’s going to be a dude in your bed who’s probably going to want to soil you you might as well forego the nightie altogether. He might rip it in his haste to get to the target.

Where would I wear a coat like this?

My life is so uneventful. I’d have to pretend to be someone with a life to envision myself wearing this coat. I’d have to be unattached and playing the dating game. When you become a Mrs. unless you marry up the social ladder you don’t have too many occasions to get dolled up and go out.

So I’m single and dating or maybe I’m not dating. Why should I need to be dating? A woman should have a period in her life that’s for her and about her about self discovery. She should be able during this period to go places alone or with her girlfriends and enjoy a fulfilled life of activity.

I haven’t had to wear a scarf since leaving New York a number of years ago. I have absolutely nothing in my wardrobe that is suitable for winter climate so I’ll be having to pick up a few things.

As chunky infinity scarves go this one looks very cute. I’ve seen some that look very bulky and uncomfortable but this one looks quite fashionable and not bulky at all. Hopefully that’s not an indication that it might not work as well to keep you warm.

Animal print takes confidence to wear usually. So do sheer tops and this is a sheer top so even while I like it and would buy it I’d probably only throw it on some day when I feel like dressing up and taking pictures of myself.
