Look of the Day #114

Hey guys! I can’t believe it is August 1!? Where has the summer gone! This has been a packed full summer for me and I have loved everything I have done so far! I only have a few weeks left of summer before it’s back to school. I am going to make the most of the remaining weeks of summer. 

I am so excited to share today’s outfit with you. I pieced it together with all things I already had in my wardrobe and I loved the end results. If you read my post on Tuesday, you may have caught that red is my favorite color, but I don’t wear a lot of it since it is so bold. I always jump at an opportunity to wear something fun and out of the box. 

I started my outfit out with a white pair of capris. I got my favorite pair from American Eagle and love the cut and style, they can be worn dressed up or dressed down. I personally like to cuff mine at the bottom for a different look.  I am also wearing a Michael Kors belt that I got on sale from Marshalls! I love bringing out the black even more.

Who doesn’t love a pop of red!

Instead of wearing a black silk blouse, I opted for a solid black shirt from Old Navy. I love the fabric and it works better for running around. 

This read blazer ties the whole outfit together. I typically only wear It around Christmas but have been wearing it more with dresses and pants in the spring and summer for a pop of color. 

Lastly, how cute are these shoes?! I love the ruffles and how they can dress up an outfit. I have had these for a few years and love to break them out to change up my wardrobe.

I also accessorized with pearl studs and a pearl ring along with a silver necklace.

Look of the Day #55

LOTD

Hello! Hello! Hello all! Happy Thursday.  What a busy week it has been. Over the past week, my family and I have been very busy with graduation festivities. Both my brothers graduated this past week, one from high school and the other from eighth grade. Needless, to say graduation has been on our brains. I’m looking forward to this next week for things to start slowing down and to start enjoying summer between work (or at least try to) haha!

Between all the activities this past week, I wanted to share one of the outfits I wore to one of my graduations I attended. I got this dress several years ago, but I LOVE the fit and I always try to wear it to more formal events that I have.

Pop of pink for the start of summer!

This bright pink dress is from Francesca’s Boutique- one of my favorite stores. Not only do I love the color but I always love the material, pattern and cut!! The cut allows several different body types to wear this dress and have it complement them.

Since, I wore it to my brother’s graduation, I opted for a pair of nude heels for a more formal look, however, I have worn wedges with this dress in the past as well as black and navy blue heels with it because it is a bold color.

Due to the event, I decided to dress up the outfit with a pearl ring, necklace and earrings. I wanted my look to be more formal. However, for a more casual look, a bold, chunky necklace would work as would a pair of earrings.

This dress is perfect for any formal event such as a wedding, dinner, or awards ceremony. Since, it is just one bold color, your can dress it up or down as much as you want with jewelry. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone when it comes to your wardrobe.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Look of the Day #32

All dressed up for Christmas

It’s the last post of 2017! Where has the year gone!! Thank you to everyone who followed my journey and supported my first year as a blogger! I truly appreciate all the kind comments and you, the readers! Get ready for 2018, I have even more ideas and collaborations in the upcoming months. I hope you join me next week with the new year.

Today, I’m wrapping up 2017, with one last look and by far one of my favorites!!

I wore this outfit for Christmas. But, i have many more ideas of where I can wear this outfit.

I got this lace black dress from Charming Charlie. I’ve gotten accessories from there but never clothes! I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the dress and the cost! I got it on sale right before the holidays. Win win! I know this dress will be something I have somehting in my collection for a while. A girl should always have a little black dress.

Since I wore a black dress, I wanted to add a pop of color. I wore cherry red nail polish from Chrome Girl Nails.It was a great sparkly red. I got this pair of red heels to go with this black dress from DSW. I was looking for something fun to go with this black dress and these shoes did the trick. My last pop of red came in the form of red lip stick!

I dressed the outfit up with a pair of pearl earrings and a pearl necklace and ring.

I got a monogrammed cute clutch for Christmas from a friend and it tied my whole outfit together.

Overall, i was very happy with how my outfit turned out. I know i will be able to wear this dress again and again!

Have a safe and joyous New Years! See you in 2018!!!

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.

Up close shot at my hair, makeup, and jewerly

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!
