Happy Thursday all! I can’t believe the end of 2013 is almost here! I just seems like yesterday we were ringing in 2013, now we’re about to say goodbye. As the year comes to a close, here is part one of some of my favorite outfits of the year!
Have a wonderful day!

Sometimes when I get down, I tend to forget about the awesome things going on in my life. It’s easy to focus on the negative and not the positive, especially when you feel less than stellar. Lately I’ve been learning how to be appreciative of my awesome life. Yeah there are things that I wish were different but that shouldn’t negate how blessed I am. I’m awesome because I’m funny, sensitive, loving, loyal and have a big heart. I have an awesome smile that instantly brightens my face. I have an awesome support system that not everyone is lucky to have. I have an awesome sense of style that celebrates my body and flaunts my curves. Basically what I’m saying is embrace all the things that make you awesome. Let your light shine even when things don’t go as planned. Know that you are unique and special which makes you AWESOME!
What are some of the things that makes you awesome?
Have a fabulous weekend!

Now that Fall is here, it’s natural to want to add an item or two your current wardrobe. Adding affordable pieces allows you to stay within your budget and update your selection. Walmart’s studded boucle jacket can be dressed up with a skirt or down with jeans and ankle boots. The jacket can easily become a staple in your wardrobe and be worn again and again. A leopard print skirt is also just as versatile and is a great addition to any closet. The skirt pictured is currently on Simply Be’s website for $50, but they are offering 30% off your first order! So the skirt is actually $35! Perfect!
What pieces will you be adding to your Fall wardrobe this year?
Have a great day!

As Summer comes to a close, I find myself reminiscing about the past three months. I can honestly say I really enjoyed my Summer this year. I got work with cool brands like London Times and Lane Bryant, wore a tankini without hiding my bottom and took a much needed vacation. While I’m a little bummed to see it go, Fall is one of my favorite times of year and I’m looking forward to enjoying it as well.
So I’m sending Summer off in the best way I know …in a colorful ensemble!
How was your Summer?
Have a great weekend!

Whenever I buy clothes I think primarily about sustainability. If I can’t wear an item for at least two seasons, I’m probably not going to get it. Having an interchangeable wardrobe is essential because you’re getting more wear out of your clothes and it decreases the need to constantly replenish your closet. Sleeveless dresses are definitely an item that you can get a lot of wear from. Plus they transition smoothly from season to season. The next time you want to wear a cardigan with your sleevless dress, dont leave it open. Button it up to create a crew neck sweater to wear over your dress. Add a belt and ta da…its now a skirt! This pretty much works on most sleeveless dresses so get creative, try it with your favorite printed or patterned sweater.
The easiest way to transition a sleeveless dress is by adding a blazer. But instead of reaching for a blazer, try a fitted leather jacket. It adds instant polish and edge to your dress but Is still appropriate for work.
How do you transition your sleevless dresses?
Have a wonderful day!
