What I Wore-My Style

May 8, 2013 By Cyndi 42 Comments

It’s Wednesday and that means it’s What I Wore-My Style. Today I’m sharing what I wore in Chicago. The weather was cold so I was glad I took my spring cab coat. Of course a winter coat would have felt better!

I snapped this picture at the hotel before we left.

Spring cab coat-Macy’s, INC International Concepts

I wore this in Chicago as a casual outfit. Someone wrote me a very sweet email about how they loved my style but they wanted me to know I didn’t look good in glasses. Believe me, I don’t love my glasses either but unfortunately I can’t see without them. Sometimes it’s not about fashion but necessity!

Black blazer-TJ Maxx, Calvin Klein

Black & white striped shirt-Macy’s, Michael Kors

Skinny Jeans-Macy’s, INC International Concepts

Shoes-Zappos, Anne Klein

Remember last week when I shared this outfit? Something didn’t seem quite right with the shirt and the shoes so I changed it up a little, and I like this better.

Tan blouse-J Crew

Cropped pants-The Limited

Wedge shoes-Marshall’s

I came back home and the weather was chilly here too! Do you think spring is ever going to get here?

Beauty For the Heart~~So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

Have a blessed day!

What I Wore-Easter 2013

April 3, 2013 By Cyndi 51 Comments

Hi there! I’m glad you’ve stopped by. Every Wednesday I share What I Wore. It’s basically fashion for women over 40. Just because we’re a little older doesn’t mean we can’t be fashionable, right?

Today I’m sharing what I wore to church on Sunday. I love dresses and so I enjoy finding a new dress for Easter that I can wear through spring and summer.

Green seems to be my color choice this spring. Maybe it’s because it’s the Pantone color choice for the year and it’s everywhere!

Everything I wore, I purchased recently except for my nude wedge heels. I bought them at Payless Shoe Source last fall.

I added some more color with my bracelet and I love the gold cross bracelet too……..

Here are some other things I used: Sun Labs tanning lotion on my legs and OPI nail color on my toes.

I think spring is finally going to come to Kentucky this weekend! What’s your favorite color to wear this spring?

Beauty for the Heart~~I’m working on memorizing scripture and this is the verse I’m working on this week. Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

Have a blessed day!

The Lucite Trend-Spring 2013

March 18, 2013 By Cyndi 9 Comments

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but Lucite is a huge trend for Spring 2013. Lucite is a clear plastic and is being used in shoes, jewelry and other accessories.

Here’s a shoe with Lucite added. I love this look.

These earrings are from Anthropologie.

This bracelet from JC Penney’s has white and clear plastic.

I love these teardrop earrings.

Another shoe with a clear plastic heel. The low heel is also a popular trend right now.

Colored Lucite is also popular and this necklace is a great spring accessory. This necklace is from Francesca’s.

Have you seen any Lucite? What do you think of this trend? Would you wear it?

Beauty For the Heart~~We are having a 12 day revival at our church right now. A team called the Life Action Summit are leading us. Wayne and I have two young ladies from the team that are staying with us. They are such a blessing!

I read this verse this morning and thought I’d share it with you, “Dear friends, we have these promises from God. So let us make ourselves pure from everything that pollutes our bodies and spirits. Let us be completely holy. We want to honor God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1 (NIRV)

Have a blessed day!

Favorite “Pins” Friday-Spring Fashion

March 15, 2013 By Cyndi 14 Comments

Today is Favorite “Pins” Friday and since I can’t wear spring clothes yet, I thought I’d share some spring fashion that I love. Warmer weather has to come soon!

How cute it this white dress with the yellow cardigan and mint bubble necklace? Love the whole outfit!

{source}

Here’s a chambray shirt with a gorgeous skirt. I really want her shoes!!!!

{source}

You know I love a white collared shirt! It goes perfectly with green pants and floral flats.

Here’s an outfit with a denim jacket. Perfect if the weather is a little cool! (There was no link to this picture.)

Several of these pieces I already have like a chambray shirt, denim jacket, white t-shirt, and white collared shirt. All I need to do is start adding some color in accessories, pants, skirts etc.

Which outfit is your favorite? Are you ready to start adding color this spring?

Beauty For the Heart~~Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Ephesians 4:2

Have a blessed day!

I’m Ready For Spring Fashion

February 18, 2013 By Cyndi 8 Comments

Happy Monday friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I don’t know about you all, but I can’t help but think of Spring. The weather isn’t showing any signs of it yet but that doesn’t mean I can’t start taking a look at some spring fashion.

Here’s a few of my favorite things:

1.1969 always skinny skimmer jeans in mint green from Gap - Oh I love these jeans especially in the mint color. I want to add these to my spring wardrobe.

2. Women’s Prabal Gurung from Target Wedge Sandal with Ankle Strap - Can’t wait to start wearing sandals. I love these in black and white.

3. INC International Concepts Top, Three – Quarter-Sleeve Striped Boat Neck Tunic – Stripes are a spring trend and so is black and white. This top has both!

4. Blazer from Banana Republic - I love a blazer and this yellow one from Banana Republic would be perfect for spring.

5. Beaded Teardrop Necklace from Groopdealz - I snagged this necklace from Groopdealz. It’s only 8.95 (regular price is $34.99) and comes in 6 colors. I ordered the mint green. There’s only 2 days remaining on this daily deal so if you want one grab it quick!

Although I love Spring fashion, I sometimes struggle this time of the year with what to wear. One day it’s freezing cold and the next day it’s warmer. I need more transitional pieces.

Are you ready for Spring? Do you have a hard time dressing in the in-between season?

Beauty For the Heart~~Sometimes life can be difficult but remember that Jesus is our source of strength and power. “You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus.” 2 Timothy 2:1

Have a blessed day!
