SUNDAY FUNDAY #OOTD & MY FIRST CHANEL

Today was a day that I had waited for but did not think it was going to happen for a while yet.

Still, a chilly Sunday here in the DMV so Mike and I decided to head to Tysons Galleria to check out the new Isabella’s Eatery – Chef Mike Isabella’s grand project.  Very upscale food court.  We are were looking at some new spring cosmetics skincare lines, new workout gear maybe and popping into CHANEL!  Whaaaaat!  A very sweet sales associate and I had been talking for months and I had given her an idea of a bag (I don’t have one in my collection – well didn’t) I wanted something classic but with an edge – not the same black bag everyone else has you know what I mean….. I’m not one who wants exactly what everyone else has. I sent her this picture 6 mths ago as an idea (RUNWAY PEOPLE) So she knew I wanted something classic but edgy.  Like a said I was not to be rushed in this purchase nor was I gonna rush, Mike……… Wink Wink!

 She texted and had gotten in some new pieces that are limited edition so I said “Oh Mike lets just go look”  I mean one day I will get one and I like to window shop anyway.  Well, let me tell you he really surprised me because today was the day!   I could not believe it.  I squealed like a little girl and gave him the biggest hug.  I even did a little jump!  A few people laughed and one lady said – now that bag that is an iconic runway piece.  I’m still in awe.  I did not get the above-pictured bag even though Michelle had it there for me.  In person, it was too small a mini and I just donated a mini Gucci to Clutch for a Cause part of W2Women mentoring.  Which I was honored to do so I knew a mini bag was not for me anymore.This is just something I’ve wanted.  I consider it to be a little piece of wearable art.  I adore all my beautiful bags, shoes, clothing I have collected over the years.  I know I am VERY fortunate and those who know me know I am not braggy I just was like YES BABY!  (Stay tuned for Instagram/ instastores etc.)  Without knowing what was going to be happening I decided to wear my usual high-end casual type of outfit and I was asked several times about it today (#OOTD) by a few of you so I created this board.  I hope you like it and it should make getting the info easier.  I am still in the process of learning the layouts on the site but it is exact to what I wore today.  The perfume is my long time signature.  Also, I have to say the Paige denim jeans on the second grouping (I have 3 pairs) fit like a glove – my newest favorite by far – if you haven’t tried them on yet – trust me you will be in love.  That perfect amount of stretch while retaining the form.  Also, always love my American eagle jeans forever a standard.  Hudson flap back pockets rule they give you an instant butt lift!  Honest!   These SJP shoes are so great – many thought they were Manolo’s but that is to be expected right?  She did collaborate with him.  Who doesn’t miss Sex and The City?  Anyway was so excited I was able to buy them at MGM National Harbor Flagship SJP Store!

I have some of these jeans below and whats great high-end or low they last and look and feel so good.  I adore pairing my jeans, t-shirts or casual top with high-end accessories.  That is really my everyday style ( well except for my yoga pant days…… which I’m trying to do only on days I workout – Ha Ha who’s with me?
