This week I’m finally back with some simple sophisticated style. I didn’t intend to go this long without a Monday fashion post, but then sometimes life has a way of serving up a little something that you didn’t see coming.

I knew our move from Manila to Tampa, Florida would take a little adjustment. But, I failed to account for the little part where I leave my laptop at the Newark airport TSA check point…nope, I didn’t have that figured into the plan.

Hmm, I’m sure there is a sad country song out there somewhere called, “Lost With No Laptop,” or at least there should be! Without my little laptop…I had no pictures, no files and the sad little list goes on and on.

Thankfully, my sad tale has a happy ending as I am typing on my little lost laptop friend right now. The moral of the story is…life goes on just fine without a laptop, but blogs not so much

Simple Sophisticated Style

Sometimes, the most simple outfit can make the biggest impact.

This simple sophisticated style consists of a top, pants, heels and vintage necklace.

I picked up this lovely taffeta top on a trip to Singapore. I was especially drawn to the unique teal color. Since I wanted the top to be the star of the show, I kept everything else simple.

Again, I brought out my favorite Banana Republic Sloan pants and leopard sling-back heels. Then, I remembered a vintage necklace that belonged to my grandmother and I knew it would provided just the right finish to the look!

Do you have any heirloom jewelry tucked away in a jewelry box? Maybe it’s time you pulled it out to wear. It really is a nice tribute and makes a lot more sense than having those pieces hidden away under layers of tissue paper.

I’m really glad to be back and I so appreciate those of you who’ve been keeping up with my little saga.
