Best laid plans.

Sweater Maxi Dress: Old Navy (Similar); Vest: Mural (Darling alternative here); Booties: Madden Girl (Love these); Bag: Philip Lim for Target.

We are officially heading into the holidays.  I remember when stores would wait until at least Thanksgiving to start putting out their holiday decor and such, but this year there are fully decked out Christmas Trees in Target right next to all the Halloween stuff.  I’m such a sucker for the holiday season,  there is something nostalgic about walking into a store all decked out for the season so no complaints here!  We got a little surprise this past week (the good kind) and it is looking like I am going to take a little short vacay in the next couple of months right before Christmas.  I already know where I would like to go (more to come on this later) but I’m curious what you all think.  If you could go anywhere you wanted, where would it be? 

So yesterday I woke to grey, gloomy rain and a busy morning of preparing food and getting 3 little ladies ready for the children’s program at church.  Since I literally had about 10 minutes to get myself together and out the door after all the chaos mornings like this tend to bring, I knew that my trusty sweater maxi dress would be an easy pick. And it was!  I bought this dress at Old Navy a few years ago and loved it so much that I went back and snagged the cream and taupe one too.  Is there anything better than a dress that is cozy like a sweater but also stylish?  I don’t think so. The leather vest has been layered over just about every outfit I wore this past week.  The extra layer kept the chill out but also kept things edgy and interesting.  We were still our usual 10 minutes late for church but at least we made it there put together!! Right?! :0

Have a fab Monday Dolls!

It is Friday peeps!!  This outfit came together by complete surprise.  The red skinnies have been collecting a bit of dust as of late and I decided they needed a day out but I wanted to keep it on the simple side.  A little story about a grey and white checkered shirt: Once upon a time I got a killer deal on a classic checkered shirt and in true Sharon-form- a couple of wears later I shrunk it!  The end…right?! Nope!  Today I discovered that too-short shirts make perfect for tucking into skinny jeans without bunching!!  And that folks is how a new outfit is born WITHOUT even having to leave your own closet.  Moral of the story?  Don’t throw out a shrunken checked shirt in haste.

Hope you all have a great weekend and thanks so much for check-ing in!;)

Color blocking has stood the test of time and ever evolving trends over the last few years.  In my humble little opinion, it is a great way to class up your look but with a trendy flare!  I saw this sweet dress at Old Navy and instantly saw all the possibilities: early Fall wedding with wedges, tights and boots, floppy fedora; statement jewels- and so on.  Ironically enough though, it has sat in my closet with the tags still on it for over a month until I decided to pull it out for church on Sunday.  I wanted to get some use out of these great leopard heels my friend had lent me for my Vegas trip and was pleasantly surprised how not crazy uncomfortable they were considering the 4 inch stiletto heel.  Have I mentioned how much I LOVE leopard print everything!!!? ;)We have been enjoying 70 degree sunshine for the last few weeks but I always get chilly in our church building so I threw on a faux fur vest I grabbed from Kohl's last winter for some added texture and I was good to go!

How do you color block?   

On a side note, if you follow me on Instagram @Clichemoi you saw my random late night Target selfie last night.  They have some really amazing outerwear right now and I am in complete L.O.V.E with the baby pink pea coat.  I bought a great floral tunic sweater and a fun statement necklace that I am excited to share with you guys.  I am also hoping to snag one of their boyfriend cardigans which are on sale for $15 right now!  And those are really just a few, I saw so much that I totally would not have mind walking away with!  Go check them out for some fun Fall pieces.

Alrighty gals!  Hope you all are having a great week.  Thanks for your support and sweet messages, they mean so much!!

Lighten up!

Had a major UGH week last week.  I’ve completely abandoned my work out routine, ate a bunch of stuff I usually deem off limits, missed my own dance class…just call me a hot little mess! ;)  But to lighten up my mood I put on this sweet find of a sweater I snagged from Marshall’s recently which made bundling up for the chilly mornings a little more interesting. 

In other more important news- have you heard of Top Shop?? Go check out their site for some great retail therapy. They have teamed up with Nordstrom's and you can find them now in a Nordstrom near you.  I currently love these:

Homecoming Edition.

So I know it's been a "few" years since I needed a Homecoming dress but its still always fun to see what the newest trends are each Fall.  So I thought I would lend a little help to any of you ladies needing some inspiration.  Here are a few of my picks which could also just be for a fun night out if you are a few years past going to Homecoming dances too!

(Nordstorms) Little black dresses are easy to find and look good on just about anyone!

(Nordstorms). I have a special place in my heart for red dresses- especially since my favorite homecoming dress

I wore was a little red number from Macy's.

(Revolve Clothing and Shop Bop)  My personal fav...hello velvet- it's been a little while!

(Windsor.) Navy sequins are so classic and the shoe and accessory possibilities are endless!

(Etsy.) If all else fails and you want to do something original and a little brave, go find a vintage tulle party dress and throw a leather 

jacket over the top of it.

It doesn't really matter what you wear, as long as you feel good, confidence will make any ensemble look fantastic!

What was your favorite dress you wore to a school dance?

Little bit of this, little bit of that.

Hello hello!!  So it happened again…my life that is!  Here I am again bearing apologies for my absence as of late.  Between having sick children home all last week which meant living in my sweats, and a quick little get away to Vegas this past weekend, I really didn’t have anything of interest to throw on here.  I packed a bunch of fun pieces that I thought I was going to have good shots of from my little trip but we were having too much fun to play photo shoot.  This maxi skirt and striped sweater were a few of the things I didn’t wear on my trip that actually were completely climate appropriate today with the 70 degree sunny afternoon we had here today.  I was surprised how much the contrasting prints complimented each other (and the bright colored tree in the background too, haha!) and will for sure be pairing them up again with short booties and a denim jacket on a cooler temp day.

My friends are prettier than your friends!!!

Our beautiful Birthday Girl! Love you Jaymie!!

So what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas right!?  Apparently this is so true because we literally took hardly any photos while there.  And if you knew my group…you would know how ironic that was, we take photos ANY chance we get!!  My quest for a white leather dress turned into a last ditch effort and I ended up with a fun red lace one similar to this one on Asos!  I decided to make a little collage of a few of the pics of me and my beautiful friends who all play a big part of inspiring me not only by their own styles, but even more so their amazing friendships.  I’m bummed we didn’t have more to show, there were several more ladies present who are not pictured that I would have loved to show you pictures of.  It was a great trip though and I love spending time with some of the most amazing people!!  Love you all!

Ever have those days where you just start throwing on random cute things sitting in your closet (or maybe your closet floor…) only to find that mayyyyyyyybe they don’t really quite work when put together?  Well folks, I think in this case I lucked out from beginning to end!  I literally have had these Madden Girl booties forever and they still go with just about anything and any outfit.  And a funny little story about these liquid leggings- I bought them back when they first became on trend to wear with a Halloween costume only to have made them a true wardrobe staple instead a few years before they were super popular.  Seriously, how cute are those zippers?  And because you should never walk out the door without adding at least one more accessory or three, out came my new arrow print scarf and the gold bar headband that I’ve been sporting frequently over the last few months.  They always say “less is more,” but I think in this case more totally wins! 

Because I am infamous for jumping around a little from one subject to the next I thought I would share a little bit of that with those of you who don’t know me personally:  who watched the season premier of Beauty & The Beast last night?  This is all I got to say “UM HI!!!!!!” ;)

Ok, that’s what I got for ya today, have a wonderful Tuesday!

P.S.  My little 5 year old said “Mommy say BOO-YAH” when we shot this one! Hahaha!!!

Floral Arrangement.

Well due to the monsoon of a week we had weather wise last week…and by monsoon I mean literally sheets of dark, gloomy rain, I had little motivation for outfit shots much less even wearing anything but sweats.  So my apologies for my lack of attention last week.  I was able to quickly snap this one though when it brightened up outside for 5 minutes.  Still playing around with the new hair-do to get it just right.  This floral tunic top is one of my very favorites and I always tend to forget about it for some reason.  The lighting wasn’t great but I love the blue and floral print and the pleated detailing. 

Busy week ahead and a little trip to Las Vegas to see an old friend and celebrate another friend’s birthday.  Hopefully I will have some fun photos to share with you from my little getaway.  Thanks for stopping in and be sure to follow me on Instagram @Sharonn61681 and Bloglovin!

Surprise!!!!!!!!!!  I made a long overdue visit with my dear friend and talented hair stylist this last weekend and we decided to redirect my long tired tresses for something new.  Every couple of years I get the itch to reinvent and a few weeks ago I started seeing all these great bob length haircuts popping up on Pinterest.  Fall is always a good time to do something different in my book as it goes along with the changing weather and gives me time to grow it back out by Summer if I decide its not for me.  What do you think? Yay or Nay?

Fall has officially made its presence known here around these parts and today was the first day I really bundled up because it was cold and RAINY! The only thing I truly enjoy about this time of year is that all my shows start up again.  Do you think that a fashion blogger can be deemed “famous” enough to go on DWTS?? Totally could happen right?!? Ha-ha!! (Only half joking here peeps…)  Ok, anyways- this outfit was from a few days ago.  Layering the plaid shirt with a leather vest gave it a fun edge.  I don’t like to always match up my neutrals so out came these grey wedge boots which were another Target clearance purchase last year.  Have I mentioned lately how much I love that place?   In any case, I’ve worn this get up a few times since and wanted to share it with all of you.  You don’t always need newly purchased items to have a new outfit and this was a perfect example….and you know that no one loves new stuff more than this girl.

As always, thanks for stopping by and encouraging my latest tangent!!

p.s.  If you live in the Portland/Metro area and are looking for a great hair stylist my beautiful friend Da’Lynne at Bombshells Salon is the talent behind my new look!
