Las Vegas

Here is one of the outfits I wore while we were in Vegas. It was a lot colder then I expected upon arrival and most days I bundled up with a jacket and a scarf. This is a casual look for me and sometimes a look that I really like. I fell like some days I am all over the place for fashion, but in the end I wear what I feel and this is what I felt for this day. I couple of the items I am wearing I have had for a few years now, the leather coat, boots and the jeans are going on 3 years now. The items are a bit more expensive, but as you can tell they have lasted a while, so to me they are worth the money. Sometimes I will splurge on items that I know will be in my closet for a while! One item I have a hard time spending money on is sunglasses. I had eye surgery about 6 months ago and I had to purchase a good pair of sunglasses. The reason I never spend a lot of money on  sunglasses is because I always end up losing them or breaking them, but this time I had no choice. I went out in search of the perfect pair and if I was going to spend the money on them I wanted to love them. I did find the perfect pair and did spend a bit more money then I wanted to. I am sure you are wondering why I am telling you this, well I finally ended up losing them while in Vancouver. I was so upset , because I had set them down while looking at an item in the store and noticed within a few minutes that I left them there.  I back tracked all my steps and someone had already lifted them. I knew that I hadn't gone far and that I did it a particular spot, so I felt that I was getting them back. I was upset that somebody would steal them and not handed them in. I know that if I ever come across an item that someone has left behind, I am definitely going to hand them in, in hopes that the person would come back. It kind of ruined my day and from that moment on I decided I was never going to spend a lot of money on sunglasses again. the next day I was in search for a new pair, but this time I spent my max $50.00. I got them on sale and I am happy with the style and look.

I just purchased this stripe top while in Vancouver and has become one of my favorites! I layered it with my leather coat and finished it off with boots, a gray purse and sunglasses. I hope you like my look today and that I have inspired you!

  2. Nice look, love the bag! I think those sunglasses really suit you. It's such a shame when people are dishonest and don't do the right thing in those situations, but at least you have found another pair!
