A Shearling Story

When I was asked to work with Methodist Richardson Medical Center Foundation and The Impeccable Pig in styling a look for their silent auction, of course I jumped at the chance!  I've been blessed to know the folks at The Foundation for a few years now and their annual Yellow and Black Tie Gala benefiting the medical and cancer centers is a wonderful event.  These men and women work tirelessly each year to put together a fabulous evening that raises money for cancer research and awareness.  The Impeccable Pig, a boutique with locations in Texas, Georgia, North and South Carolina, and Tennessee graciously donated the fantastic bag in the pictures below as an auction item for this years event.  My job was to put together a look that showcased the bag, along with my favorite items from their store.  It's such an honor for me to participate in something that has a cause behind it.  A huge, giant, Texas-sized thank you to everyone involved and for the opportunity to participate.  

Now, let's talk about the clothes!! The second I walked in, I just knew that I had to style an entire outfit around this shearling vest.  I mean the bag.  Oops.  Anywho, I fell in love with the vest and lucky for me, it went flawlessly with the bag.  To be totally honest, the palazzo pants weren't my cup of tea, simply because this chick generally steers clear of prints on her booty.  The girls at The Impeccable Pig insisted that I try them, so I set my trunk junk aside and trusted them and guess what?  They were right!  These pants are not only comfortable, but they are slimming.  Yep, you heard me.  Once I threw on my big girl platforms, I had legs for days and the roll down waist band kept everything right where it needed to be.  Once we had those three pieces knocked out, I added the sweatshirt and y'all know I've never met a sweatshirt I didn't like.  I piled on some of my own accessories and voila!  A luxe boho look that is both comfy and chic.  By the way, this bag has a removable clutch inside, so it's super versatile and will go with just about any look and any color.  What do you guys think?

If you aren't familiar with The Impeccable Pig, get your can over there ASAP.  They have unique boutique clothes at great prices, not to mention some awesome jewelry and gifts!

Under the Trees

When I was a kid in North Carolina, I would always beg my mother to take the scenic route any time we would head to the neighboring city that had a mall, restaurants, etc. Instead of taking the highway, I always wanted to go "under the trees" which was basically a long stretch of road with huge oak trees that made an arch over top the road.  I was kind of like a tunnel and I would roll the window down and enjoy the feeling.  I had forgotten about it until I saw these pics and I wonder what it looks like now.  Maybe I will take the scenic route next time I'm home.  It never hurts to slow down a bit.

In The Navy

I feel like I'm kind of channeling Carrie Bradshaw in this photo for some reason.  The hair, the aviators, I dunno.  What I do know is that I'm sooooo glad that it's a holiday and I don't have to work today.  I've been slacking on the unpacking and I think it's time I finally knock it out so the projects can begin.  I hope everyone has a wonderful day filled with friends, family, and remembrance.

Thank you to all those who have served, who are serving, and their families who have sacrificed to protect our freedom and liberty.
