Ok – First Video!

Hey everyone! I promised you I would start making videos or “vlogs” so here is my first one! I know there’s room for improvement, so without further ado, here is the first…

The jacket you’ve seen before in this post here. It’s available from Macy’s here and in plus-size here.

I’ve heard from friends and relatives some feedback like making them shorter and more concise. Oh, and not to cut my feet off! Any other feedback? Do you have any topics that you would like me to cover? Let me know in the comments here. If you want to subscribe to my YouTube channel you can do it here because I won’t be posting all of them on the blog because we’ve covered some of the topics already.

I’m headed to Detroit today for a weekend getaway of fun and frivolity, so if you’re curious about Detroit follow me on Instagram for videos and pictures of this weekend. I’m so looking forward to it!

I Would If I Could… A Jacket And A Dress

Hey everyone! So, second installment of my dressing room find that I would buy if I needed it or had unlimited funds or didn’t already have something very similar. Once again, excuse the i-phone images and the pile of clothes in the back. As you can see, I take my own advice of arming myself with lots and lots of clothes to try on hoping to find one or two. I’m learning!

Faux Suede Jacket - www.whenthegirlsrule.com

This faux suede jacket is from the Alfani brand from Macy’s. I’m usually not one for large lapels, feeling like they just add more bulk to my bust, but these lapels are made of thin material and lay very flat. This jacket is also cut differently at the bottom, with the fabric hanging very flatteringly when it’s unzipped, almost like a suede scarf under the jacket. This jacket I can only find online in petite though you may have better luck finding it in other sizes at your local Macy’s. I was sorely tempted! Also wearing my super cute booties though I’m also tempted by these and wish I could think of a reason why I’d need two pairs!

And I do have a bit of a backlog of images from dressing rooms so I’ll be featuring two today. This dress is from J. Jill and is a pretty color and print and hangs nicely. It has flattering 3/4 sleeves and boat neck collar.

It’s made with ponte knit, so it’s stretchy but has some weight to it. It’s the right amount of stretch without looking like a tent, though I would definitely wear this under a sweater or jacket and keep my sides covered. If I needed another dress, I would have gotten this because I think the color and pattern and fabric will work for winter, spring and fall. This dress is also on sale right now. I really need to get other images of the side and back. I’ll try to remember that!

Ok, that’s it for now. I am working on posting my first video on Friday, so we’ll see how that goes! Also, I’m having a weekend getaway with my husband and another couple to Detroit this weekend and will be posting pictures on Instagram and working with the Instagram video option to show you all around the cool places in Detroit. Pop over to my Instagram account and follow if you’re interested. Talk to you all Friday!
