Walking on the Wild Side

Happy Hump Day all!

I have a confession to make… I’m obsessed with leopard print!   From shoes to skirs to sweaters, you name it I got it!  I know this  print can be scary for some but I’m here to tell you there’s  nothing to fear!  The items below can easily be added into your wardrobe.   You can wear leopard print from the supermarket to the office, it’s all about how you incorporate it.  Try mixing a leopard print top with red, black or cobalt blue jeans. Add a cardigan to a black dress or wear a trench with your jeans and t-shirt to instantly update your look.  If you’re looking to try something new this fall,  give leopard print a whirl!   

Have a wonderful day!

Summer Rewind

Happy Monday all!

Now that Fall is finally here , I wanted to take a look back at  my favorite Summer outfits.   These outfits were special to me because I have never been this colorful and happy wearing Summer clothes!   I used to dread Summer dressing but now  I look forward to next  year and more fashion fun!

What was your favorite outfit you wore this Summer?

Have a wonderful day!

Those Crazy Lazy Wildwood Days

Happy Monday everybody!

To me nothing says Summer than a day at the Jersey shore.  My friends and I schedule a day to hang out, stroll the boardwalk & enjoy ourselves.

How  do you  spend a Summer day with friends?

Have a wonderful evening!

Happy Hump Day all!

I wanted my outfit today to be a complete 360 from what I wore on Monday. I decided to embrace my girly side by wearing this wonderful layered midi skirt from ASOS . As you know I’m all about keeping cool but professional when it comes to work wear. This skirt fits the bill because the material is light and fluid. I like how it seems to float when I walk. Like most of my skirts, it’s a tad big in the waist but I can live with it. It felt natural to pair my pink blazer with this light blue skirt. You can’t go wrong with that classic combo! I like keeping things simple (especially in the Summer) so I went with my white sleeveless blouse to wear under my blazer. To complete my girly look, I added my faux Michelle Obama pearls (as my friends call them!) and teal suede pumps (totally out of season but they work with this outfit so here they are!).

How do you embrace your girly side?

Leopard + Peplum= Love!

Happy Monday all!

Leopard print is one of those things you can either love or hate. I own leopard print flats but that was as far as I was willing to go until I saw this ASOS pencil skirt on their website (its sold out now) . Its has a body con fit to it but I like it! I didn’t want to wait to wear it for night out with the girls so I decided to start the week off wearing something bold. I figured my black peplum shirt and blazer would tone it down for the work place. I wore my peeptoe slingbacks to keep things tame (no pun intended). I topped the look off with gold accessories, nothing too flashy. I can definitely see myself wearing this through the Fall and Winter with black tights, a leather blazer and heeled booties.

On a serious note, I recommend reading this post on Full Figure Plus. It’s a great article about size acceptance and not crucifying your body. It made me think about the way I talk to myself at times. While I’ve come far in my self love journey, there is still work to do. I hope by reading this article you can feel less judgemental about your body.

Would you dare to wear leopard? Have a great evening!
