My Infamous Little Blue Dress

…it’s infamous to me at least! Someone once told me this dress was nothing more than “a cheap jersey dress”–I have to laugh at that because yes, it was cheap–only $11! And here I am, 3 seasons later, still in love with it.

This is the same dress I wore when my picture was used on the Animal Planet Travel Pet Bed so whenever I wear this dress, I can’t help but feel happy.

Blue can be a tricky color–often times I find it harder to pair other colors with it. I like to play it safe and keep all other colors, including makeup, neutral.

Bold Florals

I love rediscovering pieces in my wardrobe. Yesterday I was moving all my winter clothes into storage & moving my Summer things into my closet–4 hours of ironing later–I came across this dress from F21 that I have not worn since Summer 2010.

I adore floral pieces during the Spring & Summer months and while this particular dress does not fit into this season’s current color scheme, it’s still vibrant & so much fun to wear.

What I love about this dress is the halter top & the exposed back. This dress is so lightweight and is proportioned beautifully. Because the back is so exposed, the length of the dress was a little above the knee but no where near short.

I paired the dress with a messy fishtail braid and kept accessories at a minimum. I kept the makeup soft yet smokey (you know how I do ;p) with colors that were bronzey & warm brown. I kept the lips a very subtle shade of coral.

Embracing My Inner Hippie

Today was absolutely beautiful!! Though it was cloudy, it was warm enough for me to wear my favorite maxi dress. I love this dress–I’ve had it for about 3 years and it’s my favorite Spring/Summer piece. I have to admit that it was hard finding accessories to go with the dress, I always thought it was missing something…until I decided to add a “hippie headband”.

Yes, I know that trend is long over however, I am someone that does not follow current trends.I feel like this head piece completes the look! I can’t believe it took me this long to realize that!

The dress is from F21 & the headband is just a cream satin headband made to wear ON your head-not forehead! But it was subtle and matched the cream print in the dress. Although the sandals aren’t visible, i’m wearing basic flat nude ones. My earrings were purchased MANY YEARS AGO! I got them before I had Audrey so they are about….6 years old. They are from Claire’s.

To me, fashion is all about what makes you feel good. Tomorrow I could decide to wear my hair in a faux bob and embrace in inner “flapper girl”–who knows?! I dress according to how I feel :)

Happy Spring!

Today officially marked the first day of the Spring season so I decided to wear a dress & sandals. Since there was a bit of chill to the air, I added a pop of color by wearing a coral cardigan.

Sorry I don’t have more photos of this look but hopefully we will have more beautiful Spring days like today–which means more OOTD posts!

Clothing & Earring Haul

Happy New Year!

These are some new goodies I picked up last month. You may have seen certain things in a previous blog post….thanks for watching! In the next few days, I’ll be working on Day 5 of Twenty-Two Days of Taupe :)

Small Earring Haul a la Forever 21

Posted on by

I went to the Mall yesterday to pick up a few more ditties for my
lovely friend Katrina.I was hoping to find some cute statement
necklaces but they has NOTHING great–everything was so tacky–overly
“knotted” or overly feather’d-ugh. I did manage to get some cute
pieces though…I bought us some matching earrings :D

I’ve really been into post earrings lately–I quite like the oversized ones.

Especially these turquoise and silver ones from Forever 21–they look
very vintage.

I’ve been obsessed with cobalt blue and fell in love with these
delicate little pear shaped earrings. You don’t see this color every
day–these look faux sapphire in the photo but in the light, they’re
very much cobalt.

I’ve always wanted oversized pearls with little diamond accents on
them–the bows & faux diamonds look so feminine and posh.

These pink  floral earrings looked quite unique to me. I’ve never seen
anything like them–I love the delicate pearls that help to detail the
flower.

These immediately caught my eye–the faux emerald cut gems–red &
pinks–can be used for a holiday party or Valentine’s Day!

All items were personally purchased by myself. I’m in no way affiliated with the companies mentioned in this post.

Outfit of the Day: Green Sundress

“I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.”
-Walt Whitman

 

Today I wore a cute little sundress & my favorite wedge sandals to the mall. Since it was so hot and humid, I didn’t even bother to curl my hair or wear it out–side swept bun all the way, baby!!! *lol*

I love these kinds of sundresses–I have four of them in various colors that I bought from Forever 21 about three years ago! I think thy look fab with flip flops or dressed up with some wedges like I have on today. To give it that “little something”, I wore antiqued embellished earrings just so I didn’t look bald–haha–I always feel as thought I look a little bald when I wear an updo!

For makeup–I rocked a light green antiqued brown eye, bronzed faced & nudey pink lips.

I’m off to edit and upload a “foodie” video now! I hope you’re all doing well! xx

…and with sunglasses…lol

You may have seen me wear this floral skirt a bunch of times already–I totally  believe if you’re going to buy a piece of clothing-WEAR IT!  *lol* I love the versatility I get when wearing this skirt–I can wear it with so many camis in my collection–pink, yellow, purple and so on…Today I paired this skirt with a dark green cami and a gold rosette necklace.

The piccy above is a little washed out :-/
