Outfit of the Day-A Look of Sweet Nostalgia

Sweet Nostalgia-Kindergarten Graduation (Me and Momma)


As I coordinated my recent outfit of the day, I got an instant feeling of nostalgia. Everything about this outfit seemed reminiscent of my younger years. I recall waiting, seemingly for hours, watching my Mom dress! She would lay everything out while she rumbled through her accessories to add the finishing touches to her outfit.  I would sit patiently and wait to see the outcome. Little did she know, I was being throroghly entertained! I was amazed at how she seemed to coordinate her shoes with her purse and how every piece of her outfit picked up the sparkle in the diamond pieces that adorned her wrist and finger.  She is indeed an elegant lady of class.

Along her dresser stood a variety of perfumes and Private Collection by Este Lauder seemed to be the fragrance that fancied her senses the most...I would sniff it and immediately put it down.  It was almost a sin to touch her Private Collection!  She taught me that a sweet fragrance should also always compliment your look. Come to think of it,,,,Ive never met a good looking woman that didnt smell good!  Needless to say, I didnt realize my mom was training me to be the woman I am today. I am oh so grateful that I was taught firsthand how to be and project myself as a lady...A Nostalgic treasure!

She would always say, "Erica WEAR YOUR BEST!"  Those words still ring in my ear today.  I strive to "WEAR BY BEST", look my best and be my best at everything I do.  She taught me that presentation is the key to success and boy was she right.  I love you Momma!


Whats SweetFunke about my OOTD?

The fluttering ruffled  sleeves of the blouse,the fluted skirt and the taupe clutch all brought me back to the 80s. But what is so SweetFunke about this outfit is the versatility...You can wear a look like this to a business meeting, dinner with friends or to a worship service.  This outfit is modest and sure to give a great first impression.

OOTD-Black & Yellow

Black and Yellow Outfit of the Day

Some things mesh well with each other without trying...Whether its a great friend, a good man or a successful business partner, it feels good when we mesh well with someone or something. Black and Yellow are two colors that mesh well together..they always compliment each other without trying...The chemistry between these two colors flow effortlessly.

You can make a bold conservative statement by adding a punch of yellow to any black suit or by adding a pop of yellow to your staple black dress. If you really want to broaden your horizon, try rocking a pair of bad yellow shoes! Now that's what I call SweetFunke...Turning the unpredictable into a stunning classic!

The Black and Yellow Outfit of the Day was inspired by a beautiful statement neckalce that's...black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow....Huge, bulky statement pieces are especially trendy this year! This statement piece inspired a variation of the colors black and yellow. After arranging these looks, I am convinced that black and yellow is here to stay!

What's Sweet About this Look

What's sweet about this look is the skirt! Its an a-line two-pocket skirt that can be worn casually or dressy. I purchased this skirt from a Boutique in New Orleans LA called So Chic in Clearview Mall (Metairie LA). The price was also amazingly sweet! The skirt only cost $24! Who doesn't appreciate a sweet deal on a sweet skirt!;-)

And the Funke award for this Outfit of the Day goes toooooo....... the trendy statement Necklace!!! I spotted the unusual statement piece while shopping for hair products. Yes! You guessed it! I found this gorgeous statement necklace at my local beauty supply store(Angie's in Sandy Springs Ga). It's simply made, yet bulky enought to make a BOLD statement. Not only that, the necklace has an attached brooch that can be removed and added to any part of your outfit. So I definitely scored this necklace for only $19!
