Holiday collection

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…….Can you believe that December is upon us already? I swear this year flew by in the blink of an eye right before me. I enjoy December a lot because it means food, family and most of all FASHION. This is the one time of year to bring out the faux fur, velvet, and sequins for those holiday parties and NYE events. One of the hottest colors this season is EMERALD GREEN.

Now when I say emerald green, I don’t want you thinking everyone is walking around looking like the cast for the WIZ lol. I personally think emerald green works well with any skin tone and matches a whole bunch of different colors when it comes to styling. Emerald green also happens to represent the universe, nature, and life, And of course, it’s my birthstone. So let us get into these looks below.

The first dress is from Xehear Curvy. Xehear sells a full line of outfits and styles for straight and plus size women. I love that the brand is very diverse when it comes to sizing, and wants all women to look and feel good. The Maya Floral Sheath dress is perfect for those office parties or parties that don’t require to much. I love that the dress accentuates your curves but also keeps the look very flawless. The black flower detail also gives it that feminine touch of elegance.

The second dress is from Windors. Windsor just introduced there new plus size section a few months ago. I really love that Windsor now offers more sizes so everyone can indulge in the beautiful clothing they sell. The dress I am wearing is the Emerald Twisted Body Con dress. This dress is a little more form fitting and may be better for a night with the girls or a NYE party. The green really stands out and has a hint of silver glitters for a sparkly effect. I love that the dress is super lightweight and the V-cut detail shows just enough to not give away all my secrets lol.

Last but not least was a lovely dress by Rachel Roy which I got from Gwynnie Bee. Gwynnie Bee is an online subscription-based clothing rental service for women sizes 10-32. Members pay a flat monthly subscription fee and are able to rent a collection of clothing to rent and return. The Ribbed Knit Faux wrap dress made me fall in love the moment I saw it. I just knew I had to have it and add it to my green collection. I love that the dress looks black in color but has a hint of the glittery emerald green in the material. This dress is perfect when you want to be the show stopper and really turn some heads.

So what do you y’all think of the Emerald green trend? If you don’t have anything emerald green then now is the best time to go and stalk up. I think Emerald will always be a timeless color in my eyes. As always thanks for stopping by and Owl see ya soon.

Hey guys I know it’s been a minute since I’ve posted….I promise I am going to be better at being more consistent with my blogging and providing new exciting content for you. Make sure to stay tuned for that.

Anyway, lets get into the good stuff that you came here for. If you haven’t heard the wonderful news Tracee Ellis Ross dropped a limited edition Holiday collection this past Saturday at JCPenney and it’s BOMB! I have always been a huge lover of Tracee not only because she’s the legendary Diana Ross‘s daughter but her fashion and personality is AMAZING. Being able to have a little piece of her fashion magic in my closet is something I knew I didn’t want to miss.

I came home to a package a week ago and to my surprise it was the new TER4JCP collection. I was so excited because all the pieces they sent over fit my personality so well. I was sent 2 blazer jackets and a jogger set. The 45-piece collection includes a range of clothing —from pajamas, athlesiure, long dresses with lots of sparkle and fancy suiting designed with a feminine twist. Tracee really put a lot of effort into this collection catering to women of all body types with a size range of small-3x. In addition, everything is affordable with all pieces being no more than $100. Young to old can find something to wear in this collection with it affordability and chicness.

One of my favorites from the collection is the Jogger set which I am wearing in my pictures. The jogger set is super comfy and casual. It’s also pretty warm for those chilly fall/winter days New England is known for. The pants and top is made of a heavier cotton material to give it a more dressed up up feel than normal sweats. I also love the slogan on the sweatshirt “Everyday Joy”. The TER4JCP collection is all about getting women to embrace their joyful spirit which we all know Tracee always projects with anything she is involved in.

I also can’t forget the added little ladybug detail on my top which you can find throughout the collection. You can dress up the joggers with heels like I did, or throw on some tennis shoes to combat the weekend. I felt great being able to rock such a simple classy outfit without too much effort. Tracee is the queen of keeping it fun and classy.

Make sure to check out your local JCPenney for the Tracee Elliss Ross Collection before it’s all gone. If you don’t have a JCPenney in your area you can always go online but act fast because it won’t be around long. If you’ve already brought something from her fabulous collection let me know in the comments below. Until next time thanks for dropping in and owl see ya later!!!
