Date Night

Happy Monday all!

My post today is not a work outfit! Shocking right?! (LOL!)  This is what I wore on my date Saturday night.  I really liked what I wore so I asked my date to take my picture (thanks Kobe!). One of my early New Year resolutions is to post more casual outfits to change things up abit.  Im excited for the upcoming year and the plans I have for the blog.

Have a great day!

Early Preview of Fall Must Haves

Happy Hump Day all!

I know it’s only July but some retailers are starting to debut their Fall collections. It seems that rich jewel tone colors will be one of the trends for the season. As a lover of all things color, this is wonderful news to me! Here are some of the items that are on my Fall “must have”  list.

What are some items the  “must have”  items on your list?

Have a wonderful day!

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!

Pretty Peplum Pt. 3

Happy Monday!

It’s rare that a trend comes along that has me falling head over heels in love. Peplum has done this to me. I have to restrict my purchases because if I had it my way, I would wear peplum skirts, shirts and dresses all the time! Why has peplum smitten me so? It’s the fit and flounce of the ruffle! I also think in some way it takes me back to when I was kid pretending to be a princess in my Sunday ruffled best. I’m addicted to ruffles and peplum has become my crack!

What trends are you in love with? Have a great evening!

Pretty Peplum pt. 2

Happy Monday everybody! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

I loved my black ASOS peplum shirt so much I went and ordered it in coral! Next to color blocking, peplum is my favorite trend of the spring/summer. I paired my shirt with my black pencil skirt and black patent leather t-strap heels. I bought these heels from Nordstrom about 3 years ago but after wearing them one day I misplaced them. I searched my house high and low for these shoes! When I got to work this morning I went through my desk drawer and guess what?! The shoes were in my desk! LOL

Have a great evening!
