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 #102

Hello all! Happy Thursday, I am wrapping up finals week. This week has flown by, I have been able to catch up with friends, make memories and wrap up the semester. I will be moving back home this weekend where I will be for the summer. On Tuesday, I will be sharing my semester recap-one of my favorite posts, but until then I have a look of the day that is all about spring, pastel colors. I love to add color to my outfits any chance I get, and this outfit was the perfect opportunity to channel all the spring vibes. 

All Set for Spring

When I wore this outfit, I was running errands and wanted something comfortable but also chic. I got this mint green top from Francesca’s Boutique a few years back. I love how it is so versatile. I typically wear it dressed up with dress pants or a skirt, but it can be worn with jeans or leggings as well. This color is perfect for the spring and summer months, I also love that you can layer it if necessary. A long or short sweater would go perfectly with this combo. 

I opted for a pair of skinny black leggings with the bold, bright top. Gap is always my go-to for long-lasting durable leggings. 

My shoes are my favorite part of my outfit. I got these shoes on sale at DSW and immediately fell in love with them last year. I love how they are slides, but the pattern is so fun, bright, and colorful. These slide shoes are becoming so popular, I have seen them in so many stores. I have worn these shoes with dresses, skirts, dress pants, even rompers, but I loved how they looked with leggings and how the green in my top brought out my shoes. I will be getting a lot of use out of these this summer. 

How cute are these fun flats, they can go with so many outfits!

Lastly, I had to share my new favorite phone case/wristlet. I got it last year from MarleyLilly and not only do I love the monogram but I love that I can easily fit my phone and ID/credit card and be on the go, I don’t have to worry about taking a huge purse or not having pockets, this is the perfect size for the necessities. 

Who doesn’t get all the spring feels from this outfit?!

I am off to wrap up the last few days before its summer time. Have an enjoyable weekend! To all the moms out there-have a beautiful and restful Mother’s Day, thank you for all that you do, especially to my incredible mom! I’m so glad I will be home to celebrate Mother’s Day with her!

What can I say? I got it from my mom!

Hello all! Happy New Year! 

I hope you all had a restful holiday! On Tuesday, I will be sharing my New Year’s Resolutions, but for today, I have a fresh new look for the new year. Today’s look it’s all about turning a simple black dress into a full outfit. 

A perfect winter outfit

I got this simple black dress from Old Navy. It is a great dress that can be dressed up for Church, or a formal dinner as well as dressed down in a jean jacket and boots. I wore this ensemble to Church over the weekend. I decided to dress up this simple dress with black tights and shoe boots. I love the wedge/heel that these shoes offer. 

A warm scarf and cute purse for the winter months

I didn’t want my whole outfit to be dark, so I brought in some pops of color. I got this scarf this past Christmas. I love the dark colors of brown, deep red, navy, and black. These are perfect winter colors to compliment the black dress. This scarf would also very nice to pair with a pair of jeans or a simple t-shirt or even with a more casual look of leggings and an oversized sweater. 

Up close of the accessories

I also couldn’t help but not share this new purse I got for Christmas. I love anything monogrammed and this is the perfect size to hold your cellphone when you don’t want to carry a big purse. I got this small purse from Marley Lilly. 

Perfect place to hold your purse

That’s a look into my closet for the new year. I have a lot of fun outfits planned for you these next few weeks. Stay tuned. See you on Tuesday for my New Year’s Resolutions!

All dressed up, ready to go out

Look of the Day #63

LOTD

Today’s outfit is all about sporty chic. Don’t get me wrong, I love to dress up for work and other outings as well as look cute when I am out and about. I found the perfect mix for both sporty and chic with this workout outfit.

When I haven’t been working, I have been on the go, running errands, or dropping my siblings off at sporting events. Sometimes, I feel like I am a soccer mom especially when I am in this workout outfit and dropping them off at practice in a mini van! Haha!!!

Always on the go

So here are the details, I got this workout shirt from Nike. I like how it is loose fitting and longer, it is not skin tight, and it is very breathable. Not to mention, it is also very comfortable. These are all qualities that I am looking for when I am shopping for workout clothes. I also love the white, I can wear this top with so many outfits. I can wear them with athletic shorts in the summer, leggings in the winter, or crop pants in the spring or fall.  I love to mix and match them.

Trying to be sporty

I got these black shorts from MarleyLilly, my favorite part about them? They are monogrammed!! How cute are my initials on these shorts!? These shorts go perfect with my white workout top. These shorts are good quality and the monogram dresses them up a bit, you can wear these shorts out and about and not look like you are heading to the gym.

Monogrammed shorts

And if I didn’t love monogrammed things enough, my black baseball hat is also monogrammed. This hat can be worn with other outfits and not just sporty ones, but I liked tying in all my black and white and monograms in one look.

These sneakers are also practical for running errands or being out and about. Although, they are not matching the black and white, they certainly go with the sporty look. I got mine from the Nike store. These are my go-to sneakers for the gym. They are comfortable and long lasting. I have had them for three years and are still pleased with them.

That’s what I’m wearing on the go and in the gym. Where are you favorite places to get athletic wear from?

Hi All! After a busy week, I am looking forward to relaxing a bit. I am kicking off this weekend early with this fun summer number.  Finally, a summer fun outfit. I’m so excited to share this cute, yet stylish romper with you today.

I’m not going to lie, I am a short girl (5’3”) so I don’t get the opportunity to wear long dresses, maxi skirts, or maxi dresses a whole lot, I make up for it in rompers. I will never pass up an opportunity for a fun one-piece outfit. I do wear them to dress up in addition to dressing down a bit. Last year, this has been my go-to romper for dressing up but, this summer I was on the look for a romper to dress down a bit.

An outfit perfect for any occasion

I got this romper from Old Navy. It came in a few solid colors and patterns. I chose to get this black and white patterned romper. It’s a short set that buttons in the front. I like how I can juts put on one piece of clothing if I am in a rush or want to change up my outfit. I have worn sandals, gladiator sandals and a pair of dressy sneakers.

A close up look at the romper

I decided to wear these monogrammed sandals from MarleyLilly with my outfit. I am really into monogramming-from scarves, shoes, clipboards, and clothes. These shoes make a simple statement and then can go with any outfit. I have worn these sandals with shorts, skirts, sundresses, and now rompers, they are a perfect accessory for the summer season

Monogrammed sandals

This has been one of my favorite new pieces of clothing that I have got this summer season! What new outfit did you buy this summer that you have been loving!?
