Spring Wishlist

Details:

Striped Tee / Polka Dot Shirt / Vest / Loafers / Jeans / Tote / Scarf

Hi everyone!! I can't believe it's been so long since my last blog post. What have I been doing you ask? Absolutely nothing; I just decided to unplug for a while. It's been a nice break but now I'm happy to be back to chat with you all.

Anyhoo, I've had a strong urge to do a little Spring shopping and these pieces from J Crew Factory have definitely caught my eye. You can create many different looks with these versatile pieces. But I'm really trying hard to not shop and if I buy another striped shirt my hubby just may kill me. So far, I've purchased the tote and I would really like to purchase the vest and floral scarf. I see these being staples in my Spring wardrobe.

Layering 101

Anyone who knows me knows I love to layer. I rarely wear just one piece unless it's the summertime and it's 90 degrees out. So, I thought I would create a post on how I like to layer my pieces.

Look 1:
Look 1 features three layers. I love the look of layering a casual dress over a button up shirt. I paired a black & white striped dress over a chambray shirt and  topped the look with a herringbone vest. A pair of tights and booties complete the look.

Look 2:
Look 2 features a striped sweater over a chambray shirt and black skinny jeans. This is my go to look during the Winter. I often will swap out jeans for skinny pants or cords for a work appropriate look. Adding a statement necklace makes the look more interesting and a little dressy too.

Look 3: 
Look 3 is the easiest look to create and one of my favorites. I own very similar pieces in my closet and I wear this look all the time in the Spring. You can upgrade a simple tee and jeans outfit by adding a lightweight jacket and a multicolored scarf. One of my favorite jackets is my army green jacket which I wear with pretty much everything. Wearing a floral scarf ties the look and colors together.

ModCloth: Uniquely You Campaign

ModCloth Challenge

Outfit Details:

Dress: here / Jacket: here / Heels: here / Scarf: here / Bag: here / Watch: here / Bracelet: here

Tights: here

Hi! ModCloth recently contacted me to participate in their Uniquely You campaign.  The challenge was to build an ensemble using up to seven additional pieces around one featured piece. A lucky winner will be picked on their Polyvore page. This week's featured piece is their Lead by Example dress! I love this sheath dress; it's sophisticated, simple and looks super comfortable. When styling their Lead by Example dress, I looked for pieces that would complement the style and color. I wanted to create a work friendly outfit that can easily be transitioned to night, suitable for a business dinner, date or drinks with the girls. I decided to pair it with a funky black & white blazer, heels and a scarf and bag to add a punch of color. I love that ModCloth has items for every kind of girl. How would you style this dress?

Getting Ready for Spring

Outfit Details:

Dress: New Look / Denim jacket: Gap / Tote: Longchamp / Shoes: Steve Madden / Earrings: Aldo / Necklace: Jeweliq / Bangles: Alicia Marilyn

Guess what? Spring is almost here! In just a few more weeks we'll be basking in warmer weather. No more boots and heavy coats, I for one, can't wait! I've already started putting together some outfits for Spring. Today, I'm featuring an outfit I'm planning for a weekend getaway with my hubby. Maxi dresses are so easy to style and denim jackets are a perfect layering piece for the cool early Spring weather. This dress is super affordable and can be worn throughout the Spring and Summer. I can't wait for the days when I can wear outfits like this one...

Date Night

Sweatshirt: VILA / Jeans: Citizens of Humanity / Shoes: Steve Madden / Infinity Scarf: Modcloth /
Clutch: Bank / Lipstick: Estee Lauder

Ughh! That's how I'm feeling right now with this weather. It's been super cold and snowing all the time which has deterred me from taking pics. But in honor of Valentine's Day, I've put together a casual date night outfit. My hubby and I never make a big deal about Valentine's day, but we are planning on having a date night. This outfit is something I would wear for a casual date night with my hubby. I love that this outfit is casual but the lipstick and heels also makes it a bit sexy.

Hope everyone is staying warm!
