For those of you that just tuned in, From Grandma with Love is a twice-monthly series that is one of my faves! I’m lucky to be the recipient of my Grandmother-in-law’s beautiful wardrobe. She owned so many unique pieces, and I’ve had the MOST FABULOUS time styling it on the blog. It’s a win-win for me because I ADORE vintage and a fun excuse to wear it!

As you know, I’m a HUGE FAN of matched sets. Today, we have another one in black with a long sleeve top and matching culottes. I topped it off with a slick (literally) red jacket that’s also from Grandma. Angie and I joked that I looked like something out of The Matrix.
Per usual, I wore gold accessories to elevate the look. QUICK STYLE TIP: That’s a chain belt that I doubled to wear as a necklace. It’s been fabulous that ball drop earrings are trendy again because I’m wearing vintage! And I’m always looking for an excuse to wear those sock booties. They are an old Pose App purchase and come from Coco Rochas’s closet, so I have celebrity shoes on! LOL!
THE STYLE Rx: You can never go wrong with an all-black outfit as it looks posh and polished (without much effort). Add some beautiful accessories (even a pair of signature cuffs) and top off with a pop of color for effect!
Last, I wanted to bring your attention to those white signature cuffs. They are such a fun accessory and can be added on to any outfit as seen above. My cuffs have a silver button with a script S on it. They would make a thoughtful holiday gift to one of your friends (or yourself) since they can be customized! Signature Cuffs a local Fort Worth business (with a location on Magnolia) and offering 12% off their entire store with code 12DAYS. Random – also made me think of the tux outfit from Flashdance! ;) Holler if you know what I’m talking about! LOL!
Happy Friday Friends! This past week was going to be one of my craziest with appointments and photo shoots, and then Baby Girl got sick and basically cleared my schedule. Isn’t it funny how things work out? Anyhow, we are supposed to be at an Adoption Event tomorrow. Hoping Baby Girl is better by then or we will have a free weekend I guess! We still need to get Christmas decorations up in the house! What are you up to this weekend?

You look stunning in your monochrome outfit! :) The red jacket is such a nice touch with it!
I love the cuffs too – what a fun addition to a long sleeved outfit! :)
Hope you r daughter feels better soon – we are probably going to have a quiet weekend here as Toddler T caught the sickness from his baby brother :( I’m going to have to cancel the playdate with my friend on Monday, and I was so looking forward to it as our kids hadn’t seen each other in a few months since she moved away. On the plus side, saves the 3 hour drive, ha!

Oh no Mica! Hope Toddler T and Baby T are recovering well. That’s so hard because the siblings are always passing sicknesses to each other. I had to keep Little M at school so he wouldn’t get sick from Baby Girl. Hopefully, you can reschedule that playdate!
And I need to read your gift guide!
Fabulous look! I love these series! Have a great weekend!
