"Tartan"

Last night I attended a bloggers event hosted by the fabulous  Talking with Tami. I finally broke my all black rut by wearing this amazing tartan print pantsuit that I found online. I have to admit that I stepped outside my comfort zone with this number, but I'm glad I did because I absolutely love it!

My only complaint about this fabric is that it's heavier than most fabrics, so it is not as fluid and it adds volume to your frame, which means in my case it falls in the  "doesn't photograph well"side of my closet. Luckily in person it is amazing.

I paired it with my favorite Melody Eshani necklace, red purse and my color block shoes that I first wore here.

I had a wonderful time at the dinner and even got a chance to meet Mimi Faust from Love and Hip Hop Atlanta. I will post the pictures from the dinner on Thursday. Happy hump day, smile you made it.

"Pastel Color Block"

I love color blocking and pastel colors, so when I ran across this shirt online it was a definite win.  I paired it with my oxfords and pastel jeans that I first wore here. Color blocking is by far one of my favorite trends that I will NEVER get tired of!

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. Mine is crazy busy as always, but even more hectic because I will be moving ***heavy sigh***.  Don't forget to send your pictures in for the "Fancy Friday"" posts that will begin on next week!

"Neon Skater"

I bought my first skater dress and decided to wear it this weekend. It was on sale for super cheap on ASOS so I decided to go ahead and get it even though I wasn't to sure about the tulip bottom. I love the colors and color block however I am not feeling the fit of this particular dress. I honestly feel like it adds volume to an area of my body that absolutely needs NO extra volume...LOL.

Nevertheless I was pleased with the accessories I chose and how I put it together so I decided to go ahead and post the pictures. =0/. My second pair of Badacious earrings matched perfectly.

I love dresses but I think I am going to stick to  my regular peplum, bodycon, or maxi dress style. I  am going to add this beautiful one to the "Shop Fancy Curves Closet" to sale.

"Neon"

Although the official change in season from winter to spring isn't until March 20th, here in Atlanta spring has definitely arrived. We have had mid 70's temperatures, flowers and cherry blossoms have bloomed, and I am sneezing! Fashion wise, I have seen a lot of neon, mint, orange, and white colors trending.

I found these neon colored skinny jeans at Forver 21. I actually went to the store to get the mint color, but they were sold out in my size so I picked these up instead.

I know I am color blocking again, but honestly I hate being "matchy matchy" all the time, so the color block thing happens without me even thinking about it. What colors will you ladies be rocking this spring?

"Color Block Me"

Hey ladies! I snapped a few pictures of what I wore last Sunday afternoon when I spent the day hanging out with my mom who was in town visiting from Utah.  After church we went to the mall, hit up some thrift stores, and had dinner.

I absolutely love wearing bright colors and love color blocking.

I bought this ring in NYC when I was there this past October. I thought I lost it, but when I pulled out my blue clutch on Saturday to wear. I found it!!!!!!

Color Blocking

On this day I decided to wear one of the two pairs of slacks I own and experiment with one of the hottest trends right now; color blocking. I am really a " team dress" type of girl and tend to stay far away from slacks because I do not like how my thighs look in them, but I absolutely loooove the fit of this particular pair.

Color blocking is one of the easiest ways to remix your wardrobe .There's really no thought to it. Just go to your closet, choose solid colored pieces, throw them together and you've got it! I added a printed cardigan that I found at a thrift store for three dollars to jazz up the look a little more. At first it may not seem like it goes, but I gurantee you will like the end results!
