Jule's Gems: Elizabeth Taylor's Wisdom & Insight

Don't cut out your cut out options

I love the cut out dress style! But let's be real, not all of us can rock the cut out dress look with the fierce confidence of Kim Kardashian as seen below. 

So instead pair a great cut out dress with a pop of color blouse to peep through the cut outs! Problem solved! Your welcome.

Pink & Green, If you know what I mean??

The title of this post has no meaning, it was the only phrase I could think of that rhymed and was applicable to my outfit. So there you go!

Jule's Gems: Literary Luncheon Dress

Modcloth's Literary Luncheon Dress is a must have garment every fashionista should own! It's one of the highest rated dresses on their website and I can most def see why. I ordered this dress in a size large online and found it true to size exactly! It comes in every size from small to 4XL. The beautiful black and white stripes on the top and mustard gold on the bottom compliments any hair color and the way it cinches in at the waist is very forgiving. 

I paired my dress with a fedora hat and elephant necklace, keeping my accessories minimal to prevent my look from being too busy. You can't see it in the picture below but I am also wearing black tights and heels along with it. 

The price of the dress is a bit out of my price range as far as how much I normally spend on dresses but it was worth the price! The fabric of the dress is thick and durable which is great because I will be wearing the heck out of the dress this Fall!

Falling for Fall

I love the Fall season! Especially this year in the NW I'm really falling in love with the beauty of Fall. I'm loving the beautiful colors of the changing trees and falling leaves. GOD is the most beautiful artist! I love the cozy warmth of staying in and eating soup along with peppermint and pumpkin spice coffees. AND what fashion blogger doesn't love having the excuse to wear a great pair of boots with every outfit??!!?

Blessed Be a Baby's Baptism

This is the outfit I wore to my baby nephews baptism. I thought the bright blue and lime green complimented each other nicely and I wore the black and white polka dot blouse underneath the dress to give the ensemble  some extra flare. I ended up straightening my hair and pulling it back in a poofy pony tail for the occasion.

Jule's Gems: The Skinny on Skinnies

Black skinny jeans are a fashion staple that must be included in every fashionista's wardrobe. They can match with practically anything and can be dressed up or dressed down. They're great! What's not so great is finding the right pair to fit your shape. The last 3 pairs of black skinny jeans I owned only lasted about 2 months. I bought them from Target for the fairly reasonable price of about $25.

The first pair I bought were to big in the waist and tight everywhere else. The second pair I bought I got at a size smaller in the waist, so they fit my waist but then were REAL tight in the caboose and thighs. Yikes! After settling for the size of my second pair within a matter of weeks the black color start to fade from being washed. I then bought my third pair with the same problem.

So decided I am no longer going to be settling for these less than satisfactory skinnies. I recently invested in a pair from Old Navy. The difference is astounding! They are fantastic! The type of fit is labeled "The Flirt."

 They fit exactly to my form AND have some stretch in them for on the days I feel like reaching for an extra enchilada! HAHA! When I put them on they feel like a cross between pajamas and leggings they are that comfortable, LOVE! They also are not super skinny at the ankle giving me a less pear shaped appearance, Hoorays! 

A Fierce Face: Adele

Isn't she stunningly beautiful? And talented too! I heart Adele! Her style is so classic! How could you ever go wrong with a winged eye and bold lip, which tends to be her signature style!
