the brands… dress: KLD Signature. shoes: Calvin Klein. belt: thrifted. purse: vintage thrifted.
I love the subtle pattern and flowy feel of this pretty little boutique dress. For me, clothes –similar to music- always hold memories, and this dress definitely has some fond memories that go along with it, so for all those reasons, it just makes me smile when I wear it.
Adding fun little details like a fish tail necklace, metal belt, spike cuff, and vintage handbag spice up the look a bit.
A business professional day look from earlier this week. Not very creative, but a little sassy added with the shoes. Thankfully, the busy work week is over for me and the next few days will hopefully entail a lot of relaxation and good times.
the brands… top: Express. skirt: Target. shoes: Chinese Laundry. Purse: Gucci.
Even though this week is a short work week, it’s going to be a CRAZY busy work week, so I figure I’ll embrace my inner fashionista today… and we’ll see how much energy I have for the remainder of the week. Happy Monday!
the brands… top & skirt: Forever XXI. shoes: Rocket Dog. purse: vintage thrifted.
Another fun weekend look of print and color. We’ve had off and on Spring showers in Cincinnati for the last several weeks, so I’m hoping for lots of sun this coming week! As for now, the Spring showers are definitely bringing May flowers – hello fashion florals!
the brands… studded short sleeve cardi: INC. ruffle blouse: Massimo. skirt: Love Culture. shoes: BCBG.
What better way to embrace summer lovin’ than with a floral mini? I hardly ever wear this skirt because it’s clearly not everyday workable, but every now and then pulling it out just makes me feel special. And really, who doesn’t want to feel special -even if just every now and then? I’m embracing away.
A light and flowy dress made business casual with a khaki blazer. It’s still fairly casual and summery, but for a day with no interviews or big meetings, it works perfectly!
Since I’ve started running, I’ve definitely noticed that I’ve been more hungry. Now, I know I should be filling up on fruits and veggies… but that’s just not as fun now is it?!?
Instead… this is what I seem to go for… Hello Bobby’s Burger Paradise! SO good and crunchified is a must.
the brands… dress: Banana Republic. shoes: BCBG.
It’s been an exhausting week, and it’s only Wednesday…! But for all the stress, there is so much good to be thankful for, so I keep smiling! Not to mention, these shoes keep me incredibly happy as well. I saw them ages ago, and just didn’t want to pay the retail price, but low and behold this weekend the price drop hit and I got them more than 50% off. Come to mama my pretty babies!
It’s war of the shoes today! the brands… heels: BCBG vs. loafers: Tommy Hilfiger.
I knew I’d be running back and forth from building to building at work today, so I decided to bring along a pair of loafers as substitute for my heels during those walking portions of my day. Good thing I have a shoe for every occasion!
the brands… dress: Maggy London. shoes: Steve Madden.
I decided to go with the springy floral silk blend Maggy London dress for the wedding this weekend. The event was beautiful as a rainy day changed to clear and sunny just in time for the outdoor ceremony. I did end up changing outfits before going out again for the downtown birthday bash, but it was worth it to feel dressed right for both events.
It was fitting that I chose this dress on Mother’s Day weekend as my mom was with me when I bought this dress. I am so blessed to have such an amazing woman in my life. Feeling unconditionally loved and accepted is something very hard to find, but something I have always had from her. Plus, she’s a fashionista too, so ya gotta love that! Love you mom!
Living in color – aqua! What can I say… color just makes me happy. Just this week I’ve heard two people say, “I hate the color pink!” – but not me… I don’t think there is a color out there that I dislike! I’m a multi color lover for sure.
