Current Obsession: Shift dress aka T-shirt Dress

This trend couldn't have come at a better time! I have been over the body con trend and was relieved to find an alternative, the T-shirt dress! It covers all the bases! Comfortable yet curve flattering and you can find it in all different materials and patterns! If you've shyed away from body con dresses in the past due to mid section woes a t-shirt dress is a great option to get a similar effect but with a little extra room! Make it casual by wearing it with a pair of birkenstock or gladiator sandals or make it suitable for a night out by pairing with some nice heels and a fancy clutch! Similar to how i wore it here. The possibilities are endless! 

This time i went for a more casual look but the texture and color of the dress gives it a classic pulled together look! I will be restyling this piece different ways!

If you're familiar with my personal style you know that i am not a fan of wearing black! I needs my color! This lippy gave me all of my life! Its Candy Yum Yum by Mac cosmetics! This may have been my first or second time ever wearing this color out, even though i've had it since the first round release.

Casual Luxe

Today's OOTD was based on these heels. Simple and comfy yet makes a major statement!  

I am in the process of updating my wardrobe and have purchased quite a few summer items that  I am excited about showcasing in upcoming posts. These shoes are my most recent purchase. They are by Aldo Shoes in the style " Valleroy" and I purchased them from heels.com. I was determined to wear them right away for fear of me never actually wearing them. That seems to be the destiny of all the heels i've purchased for the past year or so, accumulating dust. I knew i wanted to be dressed comfortably since I'm usually more of a sneaker girl. This oversized T-shirt fit the bill. Add a statement necklace and a red lip and dazzit! 

 

*disclaimer: I usually wear a size 8, 7.5 if their open shoes but with this pair i bought a size 7 since the half size was too loose. This pair fits a bit tight but since i bought it in black last year i know for a fact it will be even more comfy after a few wears

K.I.S.S. on a Sunday

Been in a style rut lately and feeling a bit uninspired. However, the weather in New York decided to cooperate this past weekend and I couldn't let it go to waste! The easiest ensemble for me to put together always involves a Skater skirt! It accentuates my waist and the widened hemline helps to balance out my full bust! Mine is from H&M and i got it a couple seasons ago. Similar styles here and here.

I've been keeping a style watch on the Fringe trend and was happy to finally get in on the fun with this shoulder bag from H&M! I paired it with my Bridget Sandal, by Michael Kors I got a couple years ago, and threw on a staple Denim jacket. My Kate Spade phone case and Kat Von D lippy were the perfect details to tie the look together! Cute and simple!
