Black Southern Bell

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 8 years since America elected their first black president.  President Obama did us proud.  He severed us graciously.  He is the epitome of what America is about.  Don’t get me started on First Lady Michelle Obama.  She slayed in ways we’ve never seen.  She has inspired me on so many levels.  This family will be deeply missed.

On another note, I guess Mother Nature (or global warming) decided to skip winter.  I don’t mind mild temps but I still like to wear my coats.  So what do you do when the temps are warm but you want to dress in winter fashion?  Throw on a fur stole with a fabulous top.

Top, Local boutique (similar) | Jeans, Joes | Stuart Weitzman Highland boots, Zappos | Earrings, Bauble Bar | Fur wrap, similar) | Clutch (old), Gucci (similar) | Sunglasses, Nordstrom ($12)

This fox stole is perfect for mild temps. I had for my wedding almost 10 years ago.  I try to find any excuse to wear it.  I’ve got a few more looks that I want to try with it.

If you’re looking for me this weekend I’ll be curled up in a corner singing “It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday”.  Thank you and farewell Obamas!
