Skirts are in!

Fall brings us beautiful change of leaves, pumpkin spice late and with that coming shopping for new pieces for my closet. On of the things I love the most is skirts. I have stubble upon Reitmans who  has  the best selection from faux leather to pencil skirts.

There are classic pieces you can add to  your already existing wardrobe. Pair them with beautiful colorful tights and boots and you are ready to go. And if  you are a trendy chick, there is something for you too. 

Here are two of my favorites, which will be easy to pair with comfy fuzzy warm sweaters or just a button down shirt. 

Mini Monday!

I am still recuping from "s Miley's exorcism at the VMA's yesterday evening.

No class at all. 

But another note it's Monday and it's sunny here in Atlanta.

I got this skirt at a Thrift store with the means to get it cut so I could use the fabric for future sewing projects.  I decided to try it on yesterday and was glad with the fit and that is has pockets so  this skirt will no longer be in the fabric pile.

Wednesday mishap!

Such a dumb thing happened to me today,  I guess I thought since I can sew I got sewing covered,  II started sewing leather  using a regular needle. Well after a couple of seconds, the needle broke and pieces flew all over the place and a tiny part got stuck in my chest.

 I am fine thank God after I saw the injured part in the mirror I ran to my neighbor who was kind enough to let me squeeze her hubby's hand while she used the tweezers to get the pieces out.

I did learn a valuable lesson.....  I need to buy needles that I can use to work with leather and  wear goggles next time or some type of glasses to protect my eyes.

Sunday's best: Water color

That is how I would describe this dress, it looks like a abstract painting. I have asked the hubby what color is this dress he replied green it is definitely a shade of grey , beige and green.

I paired it with black.

The weather here in Atlanta has been on the crazy side, cold, rainy and today very humid.

I was wearing a jacket yesterday but today it was warm enough for a dress.

Have a great week y'all.

This is what I wore on Tuesday, but decided to post it today cause on Tuesday I share with you what my daughter wore to school.

I had to wear a jacket with this one on the way to the grocery it was a chilly day for sure, it seems like the whole week it's going to be cold. I guess Mr. Cold came to stay. We have been lucky that November and the beginning of December has been very mild, with the high being 75. My rose bush was in bloom, and the daffodils at my next door neighbor were sprouting they must be so confused.

I found this Tunic while vacationing in Hawaii, I love that it is a bright color cause I tend to wear a lot of dark clothes in the winter. A hat came in handy because of the windy conditions.

Now it's time for a cup of tea have a great day.

What she wore: Oversized Dress Shirt.

Yesterday evening  my daughter was looking in my closet for something to wear or combine with what she already has.  She got distracted by my husband shirt, this is an old one, since we used to live in the Caribbean so it has to be 16 or 17 years old worn only once or twice cause he didn't like what I have bought him but felt bad to throw it away. Yes he told me this yesterday "thanks dear".
She decided to belt it and wore to school. I really love the look.
