Sunday Slay: Feeling Casually Elegant...

March 19, 2017

I must say I LOVED this fit. I had been thinking about this combination from the time it was suggested. One thing I really enjoy is shopping my closet. I can just reach in and try it on.

I wore this to church and felt like I was walking the runway in my driveway. Lol I can see this becoming a winning easy look for spring and the weather in Chicago was perfect for it. Spring time just right.

I had to shop for nothing and I've worn all these pieces before here. I really felt pulled together with very little effort.

My thrifted:
Cashmere wrap black and grey
Denim dress/jacket worn as a dress today
Denim hat
Pony Hair bag

Along with some blue Leggins and my staple sunday shoes. I was good to go.

Oh we made it to 36 weeks. Lets see if we can make it to 37.

    You are one stylish third-trimester lady!  Great denim dress and that pony hair bag is to die for.

  • Joy replied 7 years ago

    36 weeks! It's hard to believe it's it's time for Little Nugget to make an entrance. You look amazing! Love your take on wrapped denim. I was also going to try a church version, but it is too warm. A year ago we had a big snow storm. This year lots of plants are in bloom. How are you feeling?

  • Bonnie replied 7 years ago

    You look fantastic! That is a great denim coat!

  • shedev replied 7 years ago

    I like how you kept it tonal and let the bag pop. That is a great jacket.

  • Karin L H replied 7 years ago

    Oh, I haven't been active here for so long, so I've completely missed the happy news - CONGRATULATIONS! How exciting. How are you feeling? And, the outfit looks great, and I love your poses! Your confidence is so radiant.

    Wow! Love the dress, hat, and pony bag. You hit the trifecta with this combo, Ledonna.

  • Jaime replied 7 years ago

    The denim coat and the bag are unbelievable (in a good way). Congratulations on another week!

  • Lucy replied 7 years ago

    Fabulous! You look like a superstar. I really love the pale grey block on denim. YLF.

  • Ledonna N. replied 7 years ago

    Karen L H & Joy I'm really feeling great. Baby nuggett is letting me sleep. I am in a good place.

    Thank y'all for the feedback. Angie was a doll with this one. Love seeing all the different versons on real people.

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 7 years ago

    Super cool as always, Ledonna! That cashmere wrap looks stunning, and I like the denim dress and hat together!

  • Barbara Diane replied 7 years ago

    You look great. 
    You thrift find the best things.

    Congrats on making it to 36 weeks.

  • Ledonna N. replied 7 years ago

    Firecracker thank you so much I love the cape it is so warm and soft.

    Barbara Diane I like thrifting one of a kind pieces. I used to thrift everything. Now im very selective. I get to shop for little nugget now. It has renewed my interest.

  • Lisa replied 7 years ago

    Fun interpretation of this look and yay for already having all of the pieces.  I have to try this outfit myself, it's the ideal casual outfit.

  • Angie replied 7 years ago

    KILLER, and I adore the matching hat and dress. 

    You NAILED this ensemble, Ledonna.

  • replied 7 years ago

    Amazing outfit! I really works well and bonus points that you feel fab. Hope things are going ok for you. x

  • Ledonna N. replied 7 years ago

    Thank you Angie Lisa and Diane. We had a bit of drama today but all is well within my soul.

  • cindysmith replied 7 years ago

    I love it. You always look so fab and happy!

  • replied 7 years ago

    Elegant:  check.  Casual:  check.  You nailed it!

    Whew, the pregnancy marathon is almost over.  It seems like yesterday we were just hearing that a little nugget was on the way.  You're almost there!!!

  • karen13 replied 7 years ago

    Love everything about this outfit, but the hat really makes it!

  • Ledonna N. replied 7 years ago

    Karen 13 I thought the same. I JUSTICE LOVE A GREAT Head Cover.

    Xtabay thank you. Almost there. If I continue by Sundays or post it does seem quick.

    Cindysmith I believe that your vibe attracts your tribe. I choose to be happy. So much sadness in the world. I believe in reflecting the light or the goodness in it.

  • Jenni NZ replied 7 years ago

    I love how happy you look, too. My fave parts of this outfit are the fringes on the wrap, the hat, the bag and the interesting bracelet thingie on your right hand and wrist. Fringes are something I always go for! Hope that last bit of growth gives you a strong healthy baby!

  • Mirjana replied 7 years ago

    Fantastic look Ledonna, bravo!
