Watch Me Dress

The Perfect Combination For Me

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. J) — Wed, 16 May 2012 17:41:00 +0000

Hey Everyone,

Sometimes you lose some and then sometimes you win without even trying. I knew when I woke up yesterday that I wanted to wear something colorful and comfortable. I just didn't know what pieces to pick so I started with my jeans and worked my way up.

That's when I realized I recently bought a bright yellow blouse from the thrift store and yesterday was the perfect time to wear it. What do you think ? Blouse + Wide Leg Jeans+ Yellow Wedges+ Teal Statement Necklace= Classic casual without fuss. Guess what guys and gals I went thrift shopping (small haul) yesterday and I can't wait to show you all my goodies.

Going to try this color combo again

Blouse: J.Crew (thrift)

Jeans: J Brand (Hautelook)

Shoes: Target

Necklace: Kie and Kate

Bracelet: Vintage (G-ma)

Lipstick: Watch Me Simmer (MAC-Amplified)

What makes a perfect day for you?

Hey Ladies and Gents:

Right now as I write this post I am jamming to pandora a la "Bump It" by Erykah Badu and thinking about how this music is influencing my every word. I've been in a chill mode lately and that's been affecting my clothing choice. I go for simple pieces and less fuss with accessories still super girly though. I just want my outfit to scream cool, eccentric and heck yeah chic a lot more lately!

So whatcha think did I do that?

These shoes are very similar to the shoes my (paternal) grandmother wore in her 20's

Food for Thought: Streusel Blueberry Buckle

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. J) — Mon, 07 May 2012 14:17:00 +0000

Hey Everyone,

You're going to see a lot more food posts then usual since I only dress on my days off and baking and cooking is so much easier, lol!

So here goes a family recipe from my mom to me and if you never had blueberry buckle you are missing out on life. This "sweet thang" is the fruit version of a coffee cake with an extra bonus of being the perfect night time dessert too.

Had to steal a quick piece..sorry! :)

Preheat oven between 350-375F (ex: I used 350F since I have a wacky electric oven)

2 cups flour

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup butter

1 egg

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 cup fresh blueberry

Streusel Topping (should look like small to large crumbs)

1/2 cup sugar

1/3 cup flour

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 cup butter

Method:

Combine 1 st eight ingredients

Fold in blueberries

Grease pan and pour into pan

Add streusel topping

Bake for 30-35 minutes.

*Enjoy

What's up everyone?

I know, crazy for me to start a post off without my signature, but hey, rules are mean't to be broken. So what's going on in the blog blog land? Has anyone bought anything cute, made a new recipe or found there spring beauty regiment?! Give me the juice. I need all the good, great and fantastic news since I'm such a late comer.

While we're at it, let me dish on my new obsession...wait for it! I now have an obsession with all things blush, but one brand in particular has my full attention. NARS!!! I have recently added Taj Mahal, Oasis and Exhibit A to my make-up collection. So let's get ready for a future beauty post since I have a couple of new beauty and body items I must rave about.

While I'm at it, let me tell you how many baking recipes will be featured in the near future. TONS! All because of this birthday present given to me from my husband and mother! The MIXER....I will be doing a separate post on all it greatness.

Outfit details. What can jazz up a black and white dress? Well a pair of pumps and a belt in the color of the year Tangerine Tango. Of course a basic trench coat and girly polka dot tights. Now we have a chilly spring ready outfit that could work great in the office or a fancy day off. I used my outfit for the latter!

Hey Long Lost Friends,

Yes, you read that title correctly and yes, I did it to match my red, white and purple combo. Sorry if the title is messing with your poetic hearts, but I have to throw purple in there somewhere, he he he. Now that I'm done rambling about my title, I'll get to the look I wore 2 weeks ago. Yes, 2 weeks ago such a bad blogger and so I'm heading to blogging detention with my head down.

No, don't follow me, only bad bloggers go here! I'm bad to the bone...lol Baaaad Baaaaad

Work....One Item

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. J) — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:00:00 +0000

Hey Blogger Buddies,

How has your week been so far? Me: Just chilling, working hard and trying to make a final decision on next years big move. Yes, I have been blogging less. No, I'm not giving up on Watch Me Dress. This blog is apart of me now, so I need to make time for it like everything else in my life. I just have to work on a blogging schedule. Any helpers or recommendations??

While were talking about working, let's dive into my new sweater. Who knew one piece could work so well in 2 different looks. Well, of course I didn't at first, but I've solved that issue. Now let's take a look at my office friendly inspired look featuring the Old Navy "Printed Blanket-Wrap" cardigan in warm combo.

Fashion Note: I bought this cardigan at the store for $14.99 so check there first before buying online at a higher price.

Who Me? I'm surely not a Diva! hehe

Hey Party People,

What do you get if you add yoga moves and a perfect new cardigan? A girl that sure loves to pose and shop...hehe. Okay, maybe it wasn't that funny or maybe your sense of humor has been delayed. Anywhoooooo, let's talk about the play version of my Old Navy "Printed Blanket-Wrap" cardigan in warm combo. I decided for this look just to keep it simple with boot cut jeans also from Old Navy and a faux leather belt from an old Zara skirt. For an added bonus, I put on my tan beret and Target super hero ring.

Now I'm ready to play! :)

Varsity Chic

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. J) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 17:00:00 +0000

Hey Fellow Classmates,

Though I have been out of high school for almost 10 years (next June) I still love the whole varsity jacket look. To my surprise I found one at Target for only $12+ and how excited was I you ask? I almost jumped out of my skin into this new super cool status item. The reason I call it a "status item" is because only cool sports students wore these or there girlfriends. Let's just say I had an awkward high school career that didn't include a captain of the football team boyfriend. Oh, well such is life, but at least I have the jacket and the boyfriend I'll pass on now..hehe.

Hey Everyone,

BTW, These pictures were taken 2 weeks ago. Sorry!

Nothing could stop me from taking my picture, not even the rain that fell all that day. I was determined to spin and twirl in my old favorite floral skirt and new favorite tweed jacket. That's what I did while holding an umbrella and wrapping my hair with a scarf. Rain rain you don't have to go away since I'll continue to have fun and play..hehe.

Ladies, I have no clue if it's still available, but please check Nordstrom website for this Mac lipstick called Prince Noir. This shade is the perfect dark burgundy/wine color to ever touch my lips, matte and no drying. Oh how I love the way it makes me look classic with no effort at all.

So what has your weather been like?

Me: Snow, Rain and 2 days of almost 70 degree weather. Mother Nature is having a hard time choosing which outfit to wear...lol

Hey Everyone,

It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally here with a new post. Well, actually six posts in total and I'm pretty proud of myself. Hopefully this will help me turn over a new leaf!!

Well, now that we are back together, lets hug and share a piece of pie together over coffee, but tea for me. While we're at it, let's talk about the latest fashion trends, your favorite nail polish and why the Naked 2 palette is better then the first one. After we are done with all of that, we should be best best friends forever, at least on the blogsphere.

Hey Everyone,

The season is changing and the temperature is moving further away from the days of summer heat. With all the change comes a new wardrobe filled with colors of fall. I knew it was a matter of time before I wore a outfit with colors fit for falling leaves. Today happen to be that day with dark brown accessories, olive scarf and burnt orange tights filled with huge leaves.

I carry summer in my mind, but fall will always have my heart.

Beauty Note: If your looking for great eyeliners check out Urban Decays "Electric" set. The colors are amazing and I'm actually rocking Junkie a perfect forest green in these pictures.

Hey Ladies and Gents,

Purple, Purple and Purple! Can't you tell how much I love this color and how it has totally taken over my whole entire outfit. Yay, for a blouse with a pretty purple print, fabulous suede purple wedges and lips dripping with two shades of purple.

I'm one happy girl! Plus today was the perfect day for errands and apartment hunting. Yes, we are looking for a nice, affordable place for us to lay our head. When we find it I'll make sure to do a full post on all the details.

So ladies and gents what colors are you rocking from head to toe these days?

Hey Everyone,

I know it's been a long long time! I have no clue why I even try and blog each week when I know my days off are spent running errands. Plus I try to catch up on all the sleep I miss during the week..lol

Now that I'm done with my woe it's me tale! Let's talk about the chic feeling I get when I wear black and white. How a fancy pair of tights can make you feel more ladylike then lipstick? What about the second outfit I have wearing a dark fall lip? I know that was a lot to take in, but you knows when I'll be able to blog again. Hopefully it wont be two weeks or a month from now. Sorry!

All my blogging buddies I'm sorry for the lack of comments I give. I wish I could spend all day catching up, but sometimes it's hard when I get behind after a week. Trust me I'll be doing a 1 week comment round-up very soon!! :)

Happy Holidays and Last Outfits of the Year!

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. J) — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 16:52:00 +0000

Hey Ladies and Gents,

I know I said last week on my Facebook page that I would be coming back soon, I just didn't expect it to be the last day of 2011. If you're wondering why I have been gone for 2 months, it has a lot to do with life taking over. We finally moved into our new apartment in December and I LOVE it. Plus, unpacking and organizing everything has taken up my life. I can't forget, grocery shopping seems to be my new hobby, so look for more "Food for Thought" posts.

Now let's get to the juicy stuff. I have 3 post ready to be seen, so please don't pay any attention to the paragraphs above the pictures they were ready in November. Yeah, bad blogger and now I'm posting them in December/January..ha ha

Can we get off topic really quick...

How was your Christmas? (Merry Belated Christmas!!)
Me: Wonderful, spent time with my husband most of the day and went over a friends house at night for dinner

What was your best gift given or received?
Me: For given, I say my husband's We-Wood watch and received, my officially feeling grown big bottle of Coco Mademoiselle Perfume.

What was your favorite dish made or eaten?
Me: Hands down the Pomegranate rice stuffing (husband agrees) and I ate some delicious sweet potato pie.

What plans do you have for New Years Eve?
Me: Work, home, then breakfast food and pomegranate-ginger sparklers. (I'm officially obsessed with Food Network magazine)

Resolutions??
Me: Nope, just going to enjoy life a lot more. I have no time to make promises if I wont keep them.

That's all for bit by bit rambling, but one last thing I must tell you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Baby, It's Fall Outside!

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. J) — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 17:12:00 +0000

Hey Everyone,

I know I have been gone for a while, but instead of blogging last week I went home to see my brand new little cousin who is simply beautiful. I also got to see my brand new little nephew and let's just say he's a handsome, adorable, chubby little prince and his aunt loves him. Yes, this is my older brother's first child, so my mother and I are planning to spoil him rotten!! Lol Sorry big bro!! :)

That's what happened during my only 2 days off and I must say it was much better then blogging. Don't worry people I'm baby happy, but no children on board yet.

After all this rambling I think I'll make the outfit details short..he he

I wanted to wear my suede and shearling vest, the weather was cool enough and so I did. I always feel closer to fall when I wear darker lips, so I put on my new fave Prince Noir (matte). I had a day filled with fun and memories. We went to our favorite Japanese restaurant and we finally went to see the new Three Musketeers movie!

Hooray for quick details!!

Beauty Note: I lined my lips with Prune and then put one layer of Prince Noir. The lipstick can go darker if you add more layers.

Me + New Clothing= Happiness

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. J) — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 15:00:00 +0000

Hey Everyone,

As I already mentioned in the Butter London post, I have been on a little shopping spree with new fall pieces and beauty products. I'm so excited to show you a few pieces that made it into my life recently.

1. Hive and Honey Shearling Vest : A few weeks ago, Piperlime sent me a post card for an extra 20% off of the top 10 fall trends. Without even considering buying anything, I browsed their app on my phone and fell in love with 2 things a nice wool cardigan and this vest. You can already guess what item I chose, so let me show you...

$69.00 + 20% off= $55.20

2. Adeline Wedge Pump: I have been so obsessed with the return of penny loafers that when I took one look at these Micheal Antonio pair on HauteLook, I knew they were meant to be. And guess what, it's in my favorite color. Hooray for little things. (I still have my eyes on these shoes though...)

$59.00 + HauteLook discount= $35.45 (including shipping)

3) Faux Leather Motorcycle Jacket: This was a last minute buy and wasn't on my list, but one trip in Sears was all it took. I was shaking my head at the Kardashian line when I stumbled upon a brand I never heard of, Inked and Faded. They had loads of items I wanted especially a striped knit maxi dress in black and grey.

$39.90 + 25% Off = $24.99

So ladies and gents, are you ready for fall? What new pieces have you added to your wardrobe for the upcoming season?

Hey Everyone,

Though these pictures were taken last time I had off. I still think this is the perfect time to share it with you. Since the weather has been really crappy since...well not anymore, we have sun now. Many days after my day off we had rain and wind so these pictures serve as a bare leg memory.

These pics also introduce two new pieces to your lovely blogging eyes, my cropped satin jacket and 2 tone skirt. One item purchased from the thrift store (jacket) and another bought for pennies on the dollar at the Loft (skirt). Ladies and Gents, these pieces have been chilling in my closet for a few months. I know what a bad, bad blogger I've been. Don't worry, it may happen again since I have several thrift finds that are hiding in my dry cleaning bag.

One being my dream trench coat! :)

Hey Dude and Dudettes,

I have finally found the perfect bow tie blouse and for a fraction of the price I have seen on Piperlime. Now my heart jumps and skips a beat, for my fall wardrobe is almost complete. Don't you love happy endings and long fairytales where the princess meets her lovely blouse match. I know I do!!

Now that we got all the lovey dovey stuff out the way, let's get to the premiere of my zebra print dress that I got for only $3.00 at the thrift store!! Hooray for me and all the animal print loving bloggers must rejoice. While you sing our secret fashion theme song I'll show you some outfit pictures!

Barefoot on a Rainy Day: The Past

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. J) — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 16:00:00 +0000

Hey Everyone,

The weather has been a tad bit crazy lately from sunny days to cold and rainy! Just when I'm ready to take an outfit photo, the weather decides to pour cats and dogs. People, that didn't stop me from setting up an inside fashion shoot minus shoes with all the comfort I could wish for. This is probably not my top favorite outfit, but who cares, sometimes you dress for comfort instead of cuteness. Well at least I do! ha ha

Ladies and Gents, are you ready for fall or are you having second thoughts about summer?

Just for you I included a make-up pic with details included!

And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down.

For My Nails: Butter Me Up

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. J) — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 04:57:00 +0000

Hey Everyone,

I have been having a little shopping fever lately from shoes to nail polishes. I think it's only right to share the products I'm drooling over at the moment.

If you didn't know, Ulta recently (long time ago now) had a Buy 1 Get 1 Free promotion (September 20th) going on for Butter London nail polishes. Ladies, these nail polishes usually go for $14 a bottle so what a great deal to get one free or in my case 3 free. Yes, I got six for the price of three!! Hooray!! :)

Ladies look at all those beautiful colors. If you're not a big fan of loud or in your face colors, please try Tea With The Queen, the perfect combination between peach and tan. Overall, I'm in love with every color I bought (got for free..lol) and will probably try to do "nail of the day" with every outfit..he he!

Ladies and Gents that's all for now! Let me know if you love, like or don't care for this brand?

ps. I'm also considering the shade Wallis after seeing it rocked by Kileen (Cute & Little)

Beauty Note: Nude Lustre by Revlon is the missing twin to Tea With The Queen in lipgloss form! So check it out at Utla, (nearest) Drugstore or Target.

I Dream...

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. J) — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 15:00:00 +0000

Hey Everyone,

Hmmmmmm....missed fashion week once again and my promise of going every year is not fulfilled. That's okay, I'll just browse around style.com for details and put next years shows on my wishlist. Now that I'm done rambling, let's get to what I'm looking forward to for fall.

I know that it's pretty hot in some areas of the world still, Pennsylvania included. Sometimes its cool and then hot as H E double hockey sticks weather. So right now, I can barely think of wool skirts, sweaters or jackets and leather or suede, which would make me burst into flames at the thought of it touching me. So, only thing I can do is create a dream board for the pieces I'm wanting.

Fashion Note: These are pieces I would love to buy, but will probably search for a similar look at my local thrift store. Good Deals!! :)

Work and No Play

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. J) — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 15:00:00 +0000

Hey Everyone,

Can we have a little heart to heart real quick. I know this is a blog about my daily style, sometimes recipes or the other stuff I ramble about, but at this moment, I really need a little shoulder or ear to hear my rant. So please tell me I can sit on your couch and be stress free! If that's a YES!

Then here goes my rant...I really strongly dislike my place of employment. It's not because I don't get paid enough or the hours suck a lot, it's more about where I want to be in my life at this moment, age and time period. Being 4 years shy of 30 is making me panic and driving me insane. I guess I always imagined being married (check), having a house (un-check), career or business I love (heck to the naw) and living somewhere I can call home (no where to be found). If you think I'm overreacting then I give you permission to smack me via the web!

I just think I'm putting all my dreams on hold in order to make money at a job that doesn't nurture my creative side. I guess it's just adulthood or maybe I'm just settling and need a good wake-up call. Who knows what I'll do next!

Thanks for being a listening ear! :)
