Look of the Day #111

LOTD

Hi guys and gals!

We are almost to the weekend. I can’t believe we are already in the middle of July! Summer slow down! After the short week last week with the Fourth of July, I am back into a routine of summer. 

Today’s outfit is one that I’m very excited for! I firmly believe all girls should have a little black dress in the collection. It doesn’t have to be super fancy or flashy, but something simple and elegant, and can be worn for a date night, dressed up look, or office wear. 

Hello Little Black Dress

I got this little black dress from Old Navy on sale, I never would have guessed I would find this there, but I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

I opted for an all black look. I wore a high black heel, not only to make my legs look longer (haha) but also to make the dress more formal. I wear these for formal occasions, and got this pair at Marshalls! 

I then opted for add a monogrammed clutch from Marley Lilly to the ensemble. 

Everyone loves a monogram

The outfit is put together and can be worn to so many places without breaking the bank. As a college student transitioning to young adult life, I believe you can look good and put together without breaking the bank. If you look good, then you will feel good!

Spinning into the weekend

Where’s your favorite place to wear a little black dress?

Look of the Day #25

LOTD

I am loving this outfit for the look of the day. This is a much more hip and edgy look, but I like to step out of my comfort zone and try new things even when it comes to clothes. My whole outfit is from Francesca’s Boutique. This is perfect for a fall day and if it gets colder, grab a jacket and you are good to go.

Let’s start with the shoes, these are my favorite black leather short booties. I have had them for a few years and the are so comfortable plus they can go with so many outfits, from jeans, to leggings, dresses and skirts. These are my favorite black heel. If you are not a heel fan, a pair of high black boots would work great as well.

My black skinny jeans are from Francesca’s. The tight jeans work well with the tighter shirt. I also like the few rips in the jeans, they are not taking over the outfit, but it’s enough to add a more edgy look to it.

The shirt goes great with any pair of pants but I paired it with these jeans due to the contrast between them. It is sleeveless so if you do get cold fast then I would recommend a short black jacket. The shirt is perfect for days when its cold in the morning but hot in the afternnon.

You can wear this outfit in any season but I prefer to wear it in fall or winter because they are very dark colors. This outfit is great for going out to dinner or going shopping. Where would you wear this outfit?

My Halloween Costume

Happy Halloween everyone. I hope everyone has a spooky day filled with more treats than tricks.

Over the weekend, I had a lot of Halloween festivities planned. One of them was a Halloween Dance. I went with some of my best friends for a night of dancing, costumes, and memories. So, what did I go as? Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I loved dressing up for a fun night. I found this costume on Pinterest, and lucky for me I had all the supplies at home. This costume was all DIY and it was so fun to put together.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

So, if you are in need of a costume for tonight, here is how you can pull off this look at home. I am a lover of heels. I feel confident, in my element, and I feel I can take on the world when I am wearing heels. Naturally, I wore my favorite pair of black heels for my costume. They were so comfortable I wore them the whole night, through walking to the dance, dancing the night away and walking back to my dorm. Now, if you aren’t a heel girl, no worries, a pair of wedges or ballet flats work fine too. Whatever you feel your best in.

I am wearing just a simple black dress. This style was pretty close to the one in the movie but any little black dress works. Wear what you feel your best in. We all have one little black dress tucked away in our closets.

It’s all in the details.

I found  a lot of pearl costume jewelry between my mom and I so I wore two pearl necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. The more pearls the better. I had a pair of velvet long gloves that worked perfect to complete my costume.

As for my hair, I used a sock bun to get a high bun.  To replicate the iconic picture with her long cigarette, I just used a black colored pencil for the pictures.

I didn’t spend a penny on my costume and I had a great time. It’s always a good time with the girls when you can get dressed up and let loose. What are you dressing up for Halloween? What’s your favorite Halloween candy?  Let me know in the comments below!
