Casual Friday: Dressed Up Denim

TGIF all!

I’m giving my pencil skirts a break and trying out new silhouettes to keep things fresh. Sometimes I get stuck and need to branch out so I decided to dress up my full denim skirt today. I kept things simple with my denim on denim ensemble and added some leopard print for a nice contrast. This outfit shows you can wear denim to work and still look appropriate for the office.

Are you a fan of denim on denim?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Casual Friday: Style Inspiration

TGIF everybody!

My outfit inspiration today comes from the lovely Shea of Curves and Confidence. I’ve been a fan of her sleek, polished style for a while now, so when I saw her outfit on Pinterest, I knew I had to put my spin on it. Shea’s ensemble was right up my alley because it combined two of my favorite things, hot pink and leopard print. The pop of bright color compliments her outfit and makes it stand out. I also liked that she wasnt afraid to wear a strong color to work. Often people shy away from wearing bright colors in the workplace but Shea shows if you wear it properly, you can definitely pull it off!

Check out Shea’s blog to see more of her fabulous looks!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Weekend Edition: Ladies Who Brunch!

Happy Monday all!

Yesterday afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting some of my readers for brunch. This was my first meet & greet and to be honest I was a little nervous. My nervousness quickly went away after introductions and before I knew it, we were engrossed in conversation like old friends! I had such a wonderful time connecting with these ladies. It meant the world to me that they took time out of their busy schedules to hang out with lil ole me!Thank you for coming out and spending part of your Sunday afternoon with me!

This won’t be my last meet & greet and I hope to one day meet all of you (I’m serious!). To show my appreciation, Sonsi has graciously given me a $25 gift card to give away to my readers. If you would like a chance at winning the card, please leave a comment below with your name and email address and what item from Sonsi you would use the gift card on. I’ll be picking the winner on Friday morning… Good luck!

Have a wonderful day!

P.S. I’ll be in NYC for the Thanksgiving holiday if anyone wants to grab lunch that weekend! 🙂

Fall Picks for Under $50

Happy Monday all!

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!
