THE PERFECT OFF-THE-SHOULDER SUMMER DRESS!!

Hi Everyone!!

Today's post is all about this adorable ruffle/off-the-shoulder number!! I was gifted this beautiful denim dress from Nissy's Closet Tales! I was in the market for something like this to rock this summer, and this couldn't have come at a better time!

I love the off-the-shoulder detail, but I'm also grateful for the straps on this dress. It's in a denim material, but the cut of the fabric sends this dress away from the body, so I can keep cool. The length is short, so if you are over 5'1, I would recommend being ready to rock this with some shorts or leggings.

I felt very chic and glam in this beauty! This beautiful garment is giving me ethnic, spaniard, bohemian vibes and I am in love! I can't wait to style it over and over again. I may do a styling video with this one in the near future so stay tuned!! In the mean time, check out N issy's Closet Tales for some affordable and trendy summer fashions!

How I styled it:

Feather Earrings: DIY
Leopard Print Bangle: Old Purchase
Chunky Wooden Platform Sandals: Calvin Klein

Fashion Minute: Blushing Nudes

I wore this muted look over the weekend, to my son's first birthday party. I meant to get photos and footage on the day I wore this look, but it's kind of difficult to focus on anything else when you are hosting a party. To top it off, baby boy was fussy, so I didn't have time for much else.

I recreated the look, to include my makeup, for you guys. I did a brown smokey eye, with muted lips. The chandelier earrings were a gift from my mom.

I used the original Lorac Pro palette 'Mauve' on my eyes and I used ColourPop's 'Kapow' on the lips with NYX's Abu Dhabi on top.

Day to Night! ;)

Happy Labor Day Everyone!!

I've just posted a video for this look on my YouTube channel!! Just in time for your Labor Day festivities!!

DAY LOOK

T-Shirt: Old Volunteer Shirt
Baroque Print Pants: Target
Nina Pointed Platform Pumps: Ross
Structured Handbag: Thrifted
Accessories: Personal Assortment

The black t-shirt gives the pants an urban edge that's very trendy at the moment. I love playing around with classic pieces and this pairing proved to be lots of fun!!

I took these Baroque print pants to the evening by lightening things up a bit. Here's what I mean...

EVENING LOOK

Crop Top: Ross
Baroque Print Pants: Target
Strappy Heels: Payless Shoes
Clutch: Thrifted
Accessories: Personal Assortment

A light colored crop top takes away the edge from this look by adding softness. There is a femininity and class to this look that is absolutely endearing! I love this look!

Here's a side by side!

For both of these looks the accessories played an integral part. When trying to pair accessories to your look I say trial and error is the best method!! Keep switching up your combinations until you find the best mix of earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and handbags. My rule of thumb: LESS IS MORE!

Inexpensive Fab!

Hi Everyone!

This is a look I sported the other night while on a date with my hubby! Hope you enjoy and are inspired!!

- Top: Goodwill Outlet (Less than $1)
- Skirt: Plato's Closet (Brand New for $8.00)
- Wedges: Traffic Shoe Store ($25.00)
- Quilted Purse: Thrifted ($2.50)
Earrings: Forever 21 (Old)

This petal design skirt accentuates the most flattering part of my legs. The silk blouse adds class and texture to this look and the quilted purse ties these two pieces together. Paired with wedges this look is "down-to-earth" in that anyone can sport it and feel confident, classy, and chic.
