Fashion :: Let’s Talk Texture

31 Dec

Wow, another year has so expeditiously come and gone. Why is it that each year seems to pass by quicker and quicker? Why is it that my face is falling and can’t get up? (Whoops, that is a whole different topic.) As we say goodbye to 2012 and welcome in 2013 I wish you abundant joy, passion, peace, the best of health, unwavering faith, exciting adventures, fabulous friendships and the belief that you are beautiful no matter your size or shape.

Stylist Tip :: Let’s talk texture. This look has just two colors, black and gold, but tons of texture………quilted leather, wool, velvet, leopard sateen and metal. As you can see, it works, so don’t be afraid to try it yourself.

Wearing ::

Black Velvet Dress by City Triangle

Quilted Moto Jacket by Trouve

Leopard Heels by Carlos Santana (a newer version here)

Pegasus Necklace by Stella & Dot

Gold Bracelet is an Estate Sale Find

Paula happy year. Beautiful and elegant outfit. I love the collar and the fabric of the jacket is superb. The dress is very beautiful and sophisticated, with the cut side. The shoes are wonderful. You start the year well, we will see great outfits on your blog.

  I am going out but not in this. It’s a bit to hard to dance in. I’m planning to boogie down tonight. Happy New Year Beth!
