Casual Lace

  Now that the holiday parties and sparkly soirees have come to an end, I’ve been reworking some of my dressier pieces in more casual ways.  I wore this little black lace with gold shimmer skirt a few times over the holidays.  (Including here)  Now I’m pairing it with loads of  cozy layers and a comfortable ankle wedge boot for an easy day look.  So ladies, don’t pack up those holiday pieces just yet.  Challenge yourself to see how you…

Merry Christmas!

  Leather Jacket: Micheal Kors,  Scarf: gift, Hat: gift, Sweater: Kersh, Boots: old faves I had the most lovely day yesterday.   I went to church with my husband and mother-in-law in the morning, then my husband and I grabbed a hot cup of joe and headed to the Vancouver Christmas Market.  It was the first day in a while that just the two of us were able to  enjoy a date day.  It was perfect!  Now I’m off to…
