Rain or Shine!

Don’t you just love it when you have some really awesome plans but the weather just won't let you be great? That was almost my Saturday. 

(aren't they some cutie's..lol)

The most important event on my list was taking my sweet girls to the ballet of Cinderella feat. the Nashville Symphony @ TPAC here in Nashville, TN. I think I was more excited than my girls to see the production. (I just love the arts!)

So, when it was time to get dressed, I realized that it was pretty dark outside to be 12-noon. So, I peeped outside and it had started to rain. Uggh, that definitely washed any efforts out of curling my hair. However, my wardrobe wasn't going to suffer.  

Nothing says "Bring it on, Rain!" like a fierce, rain coat/jacket and this Nadia Clear Vinyl Jacket for Mynt1792 fit the bill. This jacket is sold out, as I got it a couple years ago. I don’t know why I have such a love for things that are transparent, it may be that I'm always needing clarity and understanding in life in general but, that is another subject entirely. (I can never stay on task..lol ) The vinyl is kind of stiff, as you could imagine but, it's seems to be more manageable the more I wear it. The jacket comes with an attachable hood and longer sleeves but I can't bend my arms with sleeves on and the hood is simply awkward but I haven't tried to work with it much. Continuing with the theme I paired the jacket with a mesh spot t-shirt which I layered over a black, midi, dress. To complete the look, I wore a pair of rugged bottom booties, I cannot express enough how much I looovvvee these booties. They are the most comfortable pair of boots I own, they are great for slick surfaces and they gave more of the edgier look I was going for. Hope you like the look :)

How do you dress for a rainy forecast?

What a Bomber!!!

Fall, is that you?! I sure hope so because me and my leave out are so, so over this heat!! With the cooler weather creeping in I thought I'd start off by featuring a fav fall trend of mine that I purchased earlier this year via Dia&Co. the Bomber Jacket! The bomber will forever be a classic and I have had several over the years in the traditional waist length like this one here but when I received the longline version, I'll admit I almost sent it back, unsure as to how I would wear it. I'm so glad I kept it.  Versatility, I love a piece that I can be dress up or down and this piece is just that! Here are a few ways I'll be styling it this Fall season!!

2 Looks of a Happy Easter

While shopping at JC Penney a couple weeks ago I stumbled across these dresses. The fuchsia one I saw first on the lovely, Thamarr (simply stunning btw) of Musing of a Curvy Lady and had to have it for myself seeing as how wonderful she looked rocking hers. I didn't stop there though. I also found a "sister" dress much similar to the fuchsia one, in white that I couldn't part with either. So I got them both. I knew I wanted it for Easter but couldn't decide which one I'd like to wear so I tried them both on and made my choice on the white ensemble.

I love the fit and flare of the dresses. They are very form fitting and comfortable. They both get a A+ in my style book. Which one would you prefer to wear on this Resurrection Day?

OOTN: Impromptu Wedding Reception

I was invited to attend a wedding reception with a friend last night. It was last minute so I had to throw something together and I think I did a pretty good job. I made the dress a couple weeks ago and my friend had asked to see it awhile ago so it was fitting that I wear it. The reception was very well done and had a fantastic view of the downtown Nashville. I actually had a blast and was glad I accepted the invite.... Enough of my rambling here is the ensemble. Let me know what you think!

Christmas Portraits

Wanted to share my families most recent family portraits. The matching holiday dresses that I made for my daughters are not a Dominique original. They are inspired by the Color Blocked Bodice Tutorial from Liz of Simple Simon & Company I looooovve everything that these gals make. Like the The Aubrey Cape which I will DEFINITELY be making for my girls next.
