Dexie Wharton — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 17:28:11 +0000

If last week weather was frigid cold which prompted me to bundle up, today is all windy. You should’ve heard the thunder this morning. I thought my roof was going to fall on top of me while I was fighting my darnest to leave the comfort of my bed. I was contemplating on calling my Channel Editors to let them know I can’t work today coz I’m afraid to turn my computer on. Good thing whatever bowling tournament they were doing up in heaven stopped, heh. Ok, breakdown of today’s Family Dinner outfit, yeah, I’m dressed too early. We’re meeting up with my brother-in-law’s family to eat at my favorite Japanese restaurant, KOBE. Sushi here I come.

I’ve Gone Over To The Cropped Pants “Dark” Side

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 15:52:10 +0000

Oh MY Gosh, I wore a cropped trouser. Seriously, I couldn’t believe it myself either. Not to mention I actually like it. Hehe. I’ve been keeping an eye on a tan brown cropped trouser at the PX(military dept. store) for weeks now. I’m patiently waiting for the 75% off markdown, heh. But the other day I saw this black pair from Metro7 collection at Wal-Mart for on sale for $5. All of a sudden my cart did something magical and the cropped pants ended up inside it. Imagine that. My husband’s words yesterday, “you look good Babe, even with your weird-looking pants.” LOL!

It was a little windy yesterday and I knew we were going to be outside for our Church’s Veteran’s Day Flag dedication day so I brought this denim coat that I’ve had for years now to keep me warm. Here’s the breakdown of this whole ensemble :

Denim Coat
JW Black Polka-Dot Blouse, $12.74
Metro7 Black Cropped Trouser, $5
PAYLESS Faux Sude Black Knee-High Boots, $29.99
Long Faux Pearls, double-stranded it, $1 Flea Market
Claire’s Black and White Bangles, $2.50 each
Xhilaration Drop Dangling Earrings, (*not seen)

Should I still get a tan brown cropped pants or should I just stop with this black one? I’m also looking for a white one and even contemplating on a plaid print one as well. What do you think?

Claire’s Assorted Bangles, $2.50 Each

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 16:20:56 +0000

So I finally bit the bullet and bought myself some assorted bangles from Claire’s. $2.50 each, so why not, right? I deliberated whether I should go for the prints versus the solid ones. The latter won. As much as I think the polka dot, leopard, zebra, and croc prints would be fun, I had to think of how to incorporate them with my ensembles. I don’t want my outfit to clash with accessories. Which is my main reason for picking the solid colors. I could play them up without looking at all like a fashion don’t. So I picked: white, black, blue and purple. The white bangle is the versatile color here because it could be worn by itself or with the other colors as pairs. Let me illustrate it for you…

See what I mean? I might go back for the prints sometime but for now I’ll play around with the solid colored ones. The black and white bangles combo would be perfect with my zebra peep-toe pumps.

My Claire’s Bangle Bracelets Wishlist

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 16:04:26 +0000

I confess, I was at Claire’s a couple of weeks ago and found myself coveting some of the bangle bracelets. I almost picked them up but surprisingly changed my mind. I was actually able to stop my impulsiveness. But I must tell you, the cute accessories are still in my consciousness taunting me. “Buy Me, Buy Me”. So who knows, my wrist might be sporting the following bangles soon after all .

$7.50

$2.50. I saw this in different colors .

$6.50

Yes, I can definitely see my self getting suckered inside Claire’s this weekend. Too bad my head is too big for their headbands. I would have a huge collection by now. Hmm, maybe it’s a good thing actually..hehe.
