The Lady Rams Kickoff Event was a huge success. I was really excited to find out more about the program and meet other Lady Rams members.
The St. Louis Rams organization is encouraging ladies in the community to join the program that focuses on fashion, fitness and football. In my mind, a great combination.
My outfit was styled with a Ralph Lauren dress, a red fitted shirt jacket and my Guess satchel that I purchased on a Chicago trip. My wedge sandals from Clarks are the best and oh so comfortable.

It was so nice to be a part of the event and that I could invite a guest to attend with me. I brought my hubby who also co-writes on the blog with me. The Lady Rams Kick-off event was at the Budweiser Brewhouse restaurant and bar in the t the newly-opened Ballpark Village. Ballpark Village, which only opened this year, provides an incredible atmosphere right next to the Cardinals stadium, in the heart of Downtown. We parked and checked in and went up the stairs to the event. I was greeted by Rampage, the Rams mascot. Isn’t he adorable.

The event was packed and the crowd enjoyed themselves complimentary appetizers and drinks. Great turnout and everyone was pumped.

Very cordial gentlemen and it is awesome that Rams organization does so much for the community.

The shirt was so cute that I had to style it with my newsprint skirt.

I also received some awesome Rams blue nail polish, Rams print nail file, and coupons.

The membership privileges are great and reinforces health and feeling confident. Some years ago, I lost 50 pounds that I had gained because of medication that I was taking at the time. It was a hard time because I was gaining weight and it was not because I was eating the wrong food. To read my store click on this post.
I work out four to five times a week and I love to mix the workouts to constantly keep my body working different parts.
Stretching the legs and arms release tension and warms up the body. Standing on one foot on steps strengthens the thighs and increases your balance. I have on my Rams Long sleeve T-shirt! The T-shirt is great because I have on my Rams fashion to keep warm on the cool days,
like today.

Once the body is warmed up, it is time to do lunges. Lunges are a great way to keep your legs lean and stretch your thighs at the same time. With my Rams shirt on me doing lunges, I imagine myself having a football and I am ducking and dodging my opponents to get the touchdown. Don’t ya see it? I do.
Being health minded has really made me think about my fitness fashions. I like my workout tanks to be vibrant and bright. In the picture above, I am wearing a bright pink tank and a cross trainers with pink highlights. The bright colors and sleek look makes me smile and feel good confidence booster. You will see a lot of pink because it’s one of my favorite colors. When I want to treat myself I might get a cute tank or a great pair of workout shorts. I like to interchange my workout tanks and shorts. When one outfit is in the washing machine I don’t have to wait for it to wash and dry because I have an extra workout gear.
I can’t wait to see the Lady Rams Fashion show this fall because I really want to get extra ideas on styling with my Rams pieces. I expect to see jeans, light wale corduroy and blazers. I see a Lady Rams bra tank with shorts in the near future.
Live your best life now and put your fashion foot forward.
The St. Louis Rams invited me to preview Lady Rams and provided me with a complimentary membership.
Color blocking is a great way to expand your wardrobe. It’s so fresh and vibrant.

Colorblocking came on the scene a couple of years ago as the next, big trend. Designers were incorporating it in their lines. Stylists had their clients wearing it everywhere. And fashion magazines were showing an abundant of photographs. Being a trend, it was not expected to stay. However, if it is done in the right way, color blocking can become an instant classic. I purchased this color-blocked dress on clearance. It retailed for around $118; but I purchased it on sale for $39.99.
Did I say that I do not really like showing my arms. Well you ask, “Why, don’t you workout?” Yes, I work out; but I have a scar on my left upper shoulder. As a young girl, I was pushed into a bathroom door and the piece of wood lodged in my shoulder. I know, TMI, but that what happened and I had to get stitches. I am stepping out in faith and showing my arms. I work out so that my arms are toned and defined. I have the right to bare arms.
My scarf spiced up the outfit. The soft and subdued print of the scarf compliments the rich and vibrant color in the dress.

I wore this dress to a memorial service celebrating the life of a friend’s son who went to be with the Lord in a car accident. You may ask why you I do not have on black. Black to me does not seem like a color for celebrating life. Vibrant colors in a color blocking mode says celebration.

These colors can be deceiving because the dress look like pink and black; but they are pink and navy. The photo looks like pink and navy blue. The day I wore this dress was nice but not too hot. The dress is made of 100% polyester that looks like shantung silk and is lined. The dress did not feel hot; but I don’t think I would wear it if the temperature rose above 90 degrees.
I am not the kind of person that wears a different bag everyday. I may change up every other day, every two to three days, or after a week. The handbag with this outfit offers a sharp contrast and not the same color. I even changed up the color of the shoes so it wouldn’t be totally matching. Can’t forget Gio and Vinny make sure the cut into the camera shot.
I know many of you, as well as I, cannot wait to see the first episode of Season Three of Downton Abbey premiering on your local PBS station on Sunday, January 6th. (Check your local listings for the time in your area.)
The exquisite manor house, the sprawling estate, and the intriguing characters with their elegant costumes has made this the must-see series on PBS’s Masterpiece Theater for the last two years. Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey, interwove in the major events of the 1910s into his story-line. From the sinking of the Titanic, to World War I to the Spanish Influenza epidemic, Fellowes and his production team expertly told these stories and accurately brought the fashions of the time-period into the first two seasons. Their work garnered several Emmy nominations for costume designs.
Season 3 picks up where Season 2 left off. The First World War has ended and the Roaring 1920s are in full swing. I cannot wait to see how the fashions evolve into the new decade.
To see the changes in fashion in the series really brings back my days of studying costume history. If you really would like to get a sample of how women in fashion changed through the years, then this show is for you. The story line is captivating with the on-again, off-again romance of the Crowley sisters. And the fashions will draw your eyes in for more.
This is one of my favorite costumes from Downton Abbey on Sybil in Season 2, one of the three Crowley sisters. This is the first glance of a lady at Downton Abbey wearing pants. Oh my gosh! Oh yes, she’s wearing pants. They almost look like harem pants, so chic.

If you will be watching Season Three, let me know what you are hoping to see happen with the plot line.
If you are a fan of fashion and costume history, leave a comment letting me know what is your favorite time period for fashion.
I am continuing with Part 2 of my “Beat the Heat Dress Series.” It’s hot almost everywhere so it’s important to keep cool; but still look good at the same time. When it is hot, I do everything that I need to get done in the early mornings because I don’t want to be out in the heat and humidity later in the day. I eat light and drink lots of water to stay hydrated.
I wore this outfit to work. The silk dress is by Isaac Mizrahi for this QVC line. I believe the silk blouse is from Chadwicks.
Silk is so cool and breathable and it is a must-have for the summer. Silk is one of my favorite go-to fabrics because it will not cling to your body when the temperature starts to rise.
This dress is perfect for every occasion. Today I wore it to work. I could also wear to church, or going out for the evening.
The print on this dress reminds me of Monet.

The next time that polyester dress you have been wearing is clinging to your body and cannot breathe in it; consider silk as an alternative option to beat that summer heat.
