Look of the Day #127

LOTD

Happy Halloween everyone! No matter how old or young you are, I hope you take some time to celebrate Halloween today, whether it’s by dressing up, passing out candy, heading to a costume party or even just watching your favorite scary movie. Today is a fun day that should be filled all treats and no tricks. I will be heading to a fun Halloween dance tomorrow, so unfortunately, I can’t share my costume until next week. It will be worth the wait, I’m excited for this year’s costume, it inexpensive and easy to do at home. I can’t wait to share for next week.

 Now, before we get ahead of ourselves, here’s a new look for today’s look of the day. No matter the season, I always like to dress warm, even in the summer, I typically have a sweater with me. Long sleeves are my go-to. This outfit that I put together is perfect for heading to class for a presentation, a day in the office, a date night, or even Sunday mass. 

Full outfit

Let’s start with the dress. I got it from Old Navy and I love it so much I got it in gray and burgundy. The fabric is thin so you can wear it in any season, winter, spring, summer, and fall. I love cotton dresses, you can dress them up or down, pair it with boots and a jacket for a more casual look or dress it up with tights and heels. I also need to talk about the shape of it, it is loose and flows, so it fits any body type. For today’s look, I decided to go more for the dressier look.

Just the dress

I paired my gray dress with black tights and shoe boots. These shoe boots are from T.J. Maxx and are comfortable and durable. 

I also decided to add more black accents with a scarf and jacket. It was cooler when I was out and about wearing this, so I needed some extra warmth. But, without the black, the dress still works great on its own. 

I love wearing outfits that can be mixed and matched depending on the occasion. This dress was the perfect thing to wear as we head into the cooler months. How are you planning on getting ready for colder weather? 

One last look

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a spooktacular Halloween.

Look of the Day #40

LOTD

Hello and Happy Thursday!

February has been flying by! It’s crazy that next week is March! Where has the month gone?!

Last week, I shared a professional outfit, today I have an outfit that would be perfect for date night or a night out with the girls. I wore this ensemble last weekend out to dinner and I got lots of compliments. I mixed a few pieces to pull this outfit together. Both my top and bottom are from Francesca’s Boutique.

Look of the day (and night)

Let’s start from the bottom. I am wearing my favorite shoe boots for a night on the town. They are comfortable, sleek, not too high, and they keep my feet warm with the snow.  Once again, I got these shoes from DSW.

I am wearing my favorite skinny jeans. These black and ripped at the knee jeans are from Francesca’s Boutique. I have worn them previously in the fall with a short sleeve top, but since I was going out, I decided to dress these jeans up. I got this Michael Kors belt from Marshalls on sale. You never know what you will find at Marshalls. They always have great deals.

I am obsessed with this deep red, lace top. I also got it from Francesca’s Boutique. It has open shoulder sleeves which are very much in style this season. This top is very versatile. It cane be worn with a pair of blue jeans, a black skirt or how I am wearing them tonight, with a pair of black jeans. I have many more outfits planned in the future with this top in mind. It was a bit chilly out, so I wore a short black jacket to top the outfit off.

Curly hair for the win

Since I was going out at night, I wore darker makeup. I also had worn simple accessories to make sure it didn’t take away from my statement piece, my top. I always feel better about myself and life when I am feel comfortable and confident in my clothes. Your clothes can truly change your mood. That’s a peak into my closet. Have a great weekend. See you on Tuesday!

Look of the Day #39

LOTD

It’s Thursday!! We are halfway through February! This month is going by too fast. This was a very busy week, but I got a lot of fun things planned for the weekend.

Today, I have a different out for you look of the day. Last week I had a lot of meetings which meant a lot of dressing up. Here’s an example of a business casual look I wore for an interview. I had a lot of these pieces already in my wardrobe it was just a matter of putting them all together. I wanted to look professional for my interview, but it also was the last thing of the day following a full day of classes with not enough time to change. I wore this outfit to all classes and then to an interview and dinner. I was comfortable the entire day and felt good about what I was wearing.

A more formal look for today.

I wore my simple black shoe boots from DSW. I chose these since they were comfortable, professional, and simple. I wore a pair of black tights to go with my simple, black cotton dress.

I got this dress from Old Navy a few years ago just to have as an extra dress and I’m surprised how much I’ve worn it. I have worn it to Mass, Work Interviews, Class Presentations, even Funerals. I have gotten a lot of wear out of this dress and it was one of the smartest purchases I’ve made.

In order to break up the all lack of color, I wore a winter white sweater from the Scandal Style from The Limited Collection. I also paired a long necklace and pearl earrings to top off the look.

I am always looking for new ways to pull outfits together. When it comes to solid colors, you can mix and match them. There’s no better feeling than pulling a new outfit together with things you already have. I hope this draws some inspiration for the next time you wear a little black dress out.

Have a wonderful weekend!
