Closet sale

I have been hauling like a boss lately lol. I literally have no room in my closet for my new clothes so I have been doing inventory and deciding what needs to go. I have given away tons of things and have decided to sell others. Most of the items are new, never worn and the tags are still attached. A few items have been worn once. I am selling mostly dresses and a few skirts. I will be adding new inventory as this is an ongoing project. I really don't want to part with these items because I have never worn them and they are still relevant in the fashion world but if you guys saw my little closet you would all say "girl let go and let God!" Haha! But I have everyone's size - sizes 12-26, and some items will fit a size 28. Everything stretches and the sizing is negotiable, as in even if you are larger than a size 12 these items, size 12 items will fit you, and I have specified the general range of sizing based on my experience and knowledge of sizing. Most items are from familiar brands like Asos, Torrid, and Simply Be. Happy shopping! If you have any questions, please refer to the contact section of the store page.

Fall in Love with Stripes


Fall is officially here! I love stripes and they were great for summer. The good news is that stripes are still relevant for fall. A few weekends ago I challenged myself to wear stripes all weekend long. I chose three different pencil skirts and styled them in different ways.

On Friday, I met a friend for lunch. He was the worst photographer ever so I did not get many good pictures lol! I wore a black peplum top, a gold plated belt, and a camel and black striped skirt.
 
Top: Asos
Belt: Asos
Skirt: Dorothy Perkins
Bag: Michael Kors
Shoes: Tory Burch


On Saturday, I went to a meeting at church. I would have preferred to wear heels with this particular outfit but the meeting was four hours long so I opted for my fave flats. I did not have anyone to take my pictures for me so I had to rely on mirror selfies. I decided to mix "floral" with stripes. The annoying quotations are on the word floral because the print on the top is actually two-dimensional sequins but it reads as floral so that is what we shall call it.

Top: Simply Be
Skirt: Vince Camuto
Bag: Michael Kors
Shoes: Tory Burch


On Sunday, I went to 8:00 church service. This was my favorite outfit for the weekend. My belt is a regular belt that I purchased at Torrid 7 years ago, yes seven! I believe in taking care of my possessions lol! I turned it backwards so the buckles are in the back. That is another way to reinvent items in your wardrobe, try turning things backwards, and don't forget that we have already discussed putting tops over our dresses. I am planning on discussing in greater detail, ways to stretch your wardrobe, so stay tuned fashionistas! I have also had the tie for about seven years. A male friend gave it to me because I was incorporating ties into my wardrobe and he no longer needed it. It was already tied and I have kept it that way over the years.



 
Blazer: Torrid 
Top: Lane Bryant
Skirt: Vince Camuto
Heels: Jessica Simpson
 

 

 
I hope you fashionistas find different ways to incorporate stripes into your fall wardrobes. If you have any questions or comments feel free to leave them below and feel free to follow me on instagram @chaneldior1913.

Tune-In Tuesday - Tamar and Vince



I am not a television person, I spend more of my free time shopping online, reading blogs, watching YouTube, maintaining my social media networks, and coveting items on Pinterest. In other words, if a television show has my attention, I consider it blogworthy and I feel the need to share it with my readers. There is so much on television, that some shows are just not on our radars, or we do not even realize that a new season has begun for some of our favorite shows.


This week I am featuring Tamar and Vince. The reality show airs on WeTV on Thursday nights at 8PM CST. This is the show's second season (I recently caught up on the first season) and it chronicles Tamar's pregnancy, along with highlighting Tamar's heightened musical career. Camera crews follow Tamar and Vince as they make arrangements to become new parents and tour various cities to promote Tamar's recent album, titled Love and War. Unlike most reality shows, there is not a lot of drama and fights, and other foolishness that people love to entertain (side-eye at 'Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta'). Most people tune in to Tamar and Vince because we genuinely enjoy Tamar's personality. Either you love her or you don't, Tamar is not for everyone! I find myself quoting her on twitter as I catch up with on episodes of the show on weekends.

 
 
 
Tamar brings comedy as well as fashion. I love to see what she is wearing and I love to see her glammed up! Feel free to follow me on twitter and perhaps we can tune in together!
