Blush Pink

Fashion•Outfits

So a couple days ago I shared a thrifted red lace dress and today I’m sharing this blush pink dress I thrifted the same night! This one is a bit more professional, so to make it more appropriate for a Valentine’s date, I added a sleek pair of patent pumps and a sequin clutch. The contrast of the black gives it a bit more interest than when I originally paired it with nude pumps. Is it just me, or do you always pair similar shades together? Blush pink + beige or nude just seems to make sense, but I...

Nothing Special

Outfits

Yesterday morning was literally one of those mornings where I had 5 minutes to choose an outfit (15 minutes to get ready in total, whoops). The easiest route for me is a dress + blazer/cardigan and just match all my accessories. It seems so boring and blah, but sometimes it just works when you are trying to get ready fast. I chose my sequin black cardigan over my plain one though, just to add a little something more to the ensemble. It is still nothing special, but it happens. On the upside, the SUN WAS SHINING yesterday and got...

Moments That Take Your Breath Away

Outfits

When I realized I have seen family I don’t see very often including my aunts, uncles, cousins,  sisters, mom, dad, grandma and bf’s family all within two weeks. That never happens. How lucky am I? When the bf and I tore up the dance floor at my friend’s wedding to my favorite Lady Gaga song “Bad Romance” and he picked me up off the floor, twirled me around and dipped me at the end of the song. Man he’s good on the dance floor. Man I love Lady Gaga tunes. Yesterday morning when I realized (while I was all...

Summer Go-Tos

Outfits

The summer heat hasn’t been letting down here this past week… so I have been going to some of my go-tos for summer heat and humidity: a breezy dress, hair pushed back with a headband/headwrap, and a pair of flats or strappy sandals! I wore this on Saturday to run some errands (like go pick out puppy supplies, yay!) and to get the apartment organized (aka puppy-proofed… all shoes are up high in my closet now!) And there is nothing better than a good pop of pink with my “Punchy” Beauty Rush lip gloss from Victoria Secret to add...

Neon Details: Part 2, Outfit 1

Outfits

Welcome to the first post of Neon Details: Part 2!  Neon Details: Part 1 (seen here) displayed some of my outfits incorporating the neon trend during winter (oh yes when lovely snow was still on the ground).  Now it is time to show my take on summer neon style and I wanted to start off with one of my favorite pairs of heels to throw on during the summer.  These neon details add a fun pop of color to a simple outfit, helping turn this weekend casual look into something more fun that I would love to wear out with my...

Take a Bow

Outfits

There is a lot of inspiration out there right now for holiday party and event outfits, and I have gotten a lot of great ideas from other bloggers and some of my favorite fashion magazines.  Typically holiday party and event wear includes dresses, skirts and sequins, all of which I love and have made certain will work into later party outfits, but for my first holiday event, I wanted to instead go for a pants look:  a gold-stiched blouse with a big black bow on the front paired with black denim, black heeled boots and some sparkly accessories and...
