The Dress for Every Occasion

Happy Friday! The weekend is back and it is supposed to be a beautiful few days! 

This dress is one of my favorites right now! The fit is perfection and the material is on point! I love how the neck is high in the front then scoops down in the back, it is really flattering. This dress would be great for work with flats than to happy hour for drinks, all you have to do is add wedges and clutch! Since it is so neutral a pop in the accessories would be the perfect addition or a pair of black slip on's like the ones I have on would look great too! This is a truly versatile piece that you can wear over and over again! The price is right on point being around $60 and definitely worth the money! The link to purchase is below!

Easter Florals

This warm and beautiful weather has been a welcome change from the cold and rain we have seen lately. When I saw how beautiful it was going to be on Easter I decided to wear this floral shift dress with my favorite new loafers! Both the dress and shoes fit true to size and are so versatile! The dress is light weight and has a beautiful floral print on it and it is under $50! Links to purchase this whole look are below!

Blue and Basic

This is my last week before I become an aunt and I am anxiously awaiting the babies arrival! I cannot wait to see if it is a boy or girl and I am so excited for the next chapter of my life as an aunt! So many surprises are coming within the next week and it is all so exciting! My sister and I are so close but I can only imagine this experience is going to bring us and our family together in a way that we could never expect! I have a feeling there are going to be way too many photos taken...I need to add more storage on my phone! Any tips from aunts out there?! Leave them in the comments below, they are much appreciated!

This dress is so perfect for so many occasions! It covers up just enough but is still super cute, it fits true to size and it comes in 3 colors! I wore it to a meeting and I was very comfortable but still appropriate! It is only $61 and all sizes are available! I paired this dress with a pair of brown booties that have a stitching detail and they worked perfectly to finish off the look! The booties fit true to size and are a great basic to have in your closet that will not break the bank! Links to purchase this look are below!

Shoe Goals

Life has been so crazy the past few weeks with a job change and planning a baby shower but I had to share these booties with all of my favorite people! They are from Justfab and so they are so cute. There is a gold chain detail on them, unlike anything I have ever seen before! I love how they elevate a simple outfit like the one I am wearing today! They fit true to size, they are great for a day or night out and they come in two other colors! CLICK HERE to sign up with Justfab! If you are already signed up I linked them below!

Gold and Stripes

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine was interesting for sure! The Women's March in DC was a great experience but left me with a lot of questions. I have seen so many opinions on social media about it and to be honest I can see all sides. But why do people feel like it is okay to bash people that do not agree with them? Lets all be respectful of each other and remember that there were so many reasons people wanted to march as well as not wanting to march so don't judge because you never know. For some people this is a scary time with uncertainty and for others it is an exciting time who see it as a new beginning. No matter how you feel I think everyone can agree that there is a lot that needs to change and taking a stand for what you believe in is an amazing start. Lets really make a change by following through with the momentum of the march and get involved. Know who your representatives are, vote on important issues and volunteer whenever you can. I will be looking for ways to get involved and make a difference on the issues that are important to me. If you have any resources please add a link in the comments for myself and anyone else that is interested in learning more!

This dress was perfect for the party I attended, you can never go wrong with a long sleeved dress this time of year. There are so many ways to wear and accessorize them! This dress was so comfortable and a great mix between casual and dressy. This one is from Forever 21 and only $12.90. It runs small so size up when purchasing! I linked it below as well as a few others that are under $20 and super cute! I also linked a similar necklace and booties (mine sold out)! Next time I wear this dress I am going to pair it with leggings, a long cardigan and riding boots as a casual look or to dress it up I will add a pair of pumps and a blazer!

Sweater Dress Coziness

The holidays are always a crazy time and I always look forward to things slowing down at the beginning of the year...well that is not happening this year. I have decided to leave my day job and move into something I am more passionate about...social media management! I am so excited to be taking this role on to help businesses grow their customer base and following! I am also planning my sisters baby shower, anticipating the arrival of my first niece or nephew, and planning my wedding and honeymoon. So many exciting things are happening that I don't mind that life is not slowing down. Life is crazy, fun, challenging and ever changing and like I have said...2017 is going to be the best year yet! 

There is nothing like a super warm and comfortable sweater dress when it is snowing and/or freezing cold outside. I love waking up and throwing something on that is both cute and functional. It is under $100 and it runs true to size, it is not clingy to the body and could be belted as well! The turtle neck is oversized and drapes nicely which means it is not too tight around the neck which I love. Obviously my obsession with a neutral piece continues but it could also be warn with a pop of color in the leggings or boots! Days like today make me wish I could put this exact dress on in different colors everyday of the week. I decided to wear leggings instead of tights because they are warmer and much more comfortable, these exact ones are linked below, they are not see through at all and fit great all day. My OTK boots are a winter staple in my closet, I always find an excuse to wear them! The pair I am wearing are sold out but I linked 3 other pairs I love that are all under $100! Links are below.

Black Friday

My sister and I decided to go Black Friday shopping this year and we had a very pleasant experience, we went to the Queenstown Premium Outlets a little later in the day and the lines were not bad at all! We got a lot of Christmas shopping done and spent some quality time together so it ended up being a great time! When getting dressed for the day I considered a few things:

1) Comfort - You have to be comfortable in what you are wearing. There is a lot of walking and you don't want to be adjusting yourself all day.

2) Layering - There is a lot of temperature change when walking in and out of stores so you want to be able to take layers off and on easily!

3) Trying On - Just incase you need to try a few things on you want to wear something that is easy to slip on and off quickly.

After all of those considerations I decided on a super soft long sleeve top with cut out details, a vest, distressed black denim and flat fringe booties. The black and white theme was also perfect considering the day! Check out my previous Instagram post to see one of my purchases from that day! Links to purchase this look are below!

Pops of Color

Monday came too soon...but thats okay because I had such a great weekend! I wore this outfit last week and it was so comfortable. This dolman sleeved ribbed cashmere top is so comfortable and at a surprisingly affordable price point! I will be wearing it all winter long, it is a great layering piece and you can even wear it off the shoulder! With such a neutral outfit I love to add a pop of color, and this time I decided on a monochromatic look. Burgundy is my go to color this fall so I am incorporating it into my outfits as much as I can! I have had these pants for a while now and I love having a lighter wash option. They are only $25 and fit true to size. Links to purchase this whole look are below!

I was nominated twice for 1) Best use of photo/still image and 2) best blog in the Mobbies 2016 Awards through the Baltimore Sun! It would mean so much to me if you could take a second and vote, you don't have to create a log in and you can just vote in those two categories if you want to!

FALLing Very Casual

Fall and winter come with their own set of challenges in the fashion world but one that always gets me is how redundant my outfits feel. In the spring and summer there are countless outfit options including dresses and skirts of all lengths as well as pants and shorts, but not so much in the winter. So I am making an effort to really try and make my wardrobe as versatile and practical as possible. These army green pants are a great way to get away from blue jeans and add some change into my wardrobe. You can wear any neutral colored top with them and any boot as well. These are super comfortable and thick enough to wear throughout the winter, they are true to size and cost around $60. This top is from a local store in Baltimore called Brightside Boutique, they also have an online store that you can shop! It is so soft and comfortable and will be great under a sweater or bomber jacket as it gets colder. Check out their website! These peep toe booties are perfect for this in-between time of year, they have cutouts at the top which is so different and they are very comfortable!

In the Trenches

Fall is all about layering, the temperature is always changing from cold in the morning to warmer in the afternoon so I like to have options. I stuck with all black and then slipped the trench coat on when I need it, it is $27 and true to size. Underneath I have a bodysuit and capri leggings as well as a pair of cut out flat booties. The trench is great because you can dress it up or dress it down depending on what you are doing. In this case we were waiting on a tropical storm to come through which never ended up happening, but at least I was prepared! This pink color has been one of my favorites all summer long and I am happy to bring it into my fall wardrobe as well. I hope you have a great weekend.
