Hello Loves!

You've been reading about my obsession of fur vests for the past few days now. It's a piece that I genuinely love and I highly suggest you get your hands on one and fast, since they're always popular during these fall months and when stores get them, especially in brown, they tend to sell out quickly. Although brown is a common favorite when it comes to vests, black is just as versatile, but has a more classy feel to it, as opposed to the browns, which can have a more casual element, especially when they're in lighter shades of brown. Because of this, it makes for a great addition to your work wardrobe. It can easily take the place of a blazer or cardigan, providing warmth and professionalism, as well as a glam finishing touch! 

I created this look in hopes of inspiring you when creating a work look centered around a black fur vest, although you can of course wear any color you have or can get your hands on! This look is professional, sophisticated, and down right fabulous, simply because it has the luxurious texture in the fur (we work with faux!), leopard print, and bold red color combination. The polka dotted blouse adds a bit of a retro style, which ties in perfectly with the other chic pieces, working together to create this overall glamorous work look, without being over the top for the office! 

I hope you like the look and attempt to recreate it on yourselves!

Happy Monday, loves!

This weekend was super fun, since I was celebrating my boo's birthday, which I thank you, once again, for your extended birthday wishes and love! Yesterday I shared my look for what I wore to his birthday brunch and today I'm sharing what I wore for his dinner celebration on Saturday night. I of course wanted to wear something that exuded fun and excitement and I feel anything sparkly does that, so I wore these sheen textured shorts and silk blouse. It was a pretty fancy restaurant, so to prevent the look from being just too much, I toned it down with this luxuriously silky and feminine blouse. I love this blouse because well, it's silk and who doesn't feel so fancy schmancy in anything silky?! Plus, I feel it was a really good score from Victoria's Secret. They can have some really great pieces that last a long time, and if you can catch them on sale or clearance, like I did with this blouse, it's even betta! 

So how's the start of your week going so far?

Hey loves!

I hope you're all having a fun weekend so far! As many of you know, it's Eddie's (my husband) birthday today! We thank all of you who've been sending him birthday wishes this entire weekend, you've helped make it extra special!

Last night we went to one of his favorite restaurants for our date night and today he wanted to go for brunch. I chose to wear this fun and playful outfit for such a fun and exciting day. I love cropped tops, but I personally don't like to show skin, so wearing them with high waisted bottoms gives me the ability to work with them and I hope it gives you an idea on how to wear them if you feel the same. What I also like is that they help to create some volume up top for those of us gals with smaller busts. The structured silhouette of the sweater is balanced out nicely with a feminine skater skirt. I suggest when wearing a structured piece, either top or bottom, select a more feminine one for the opposite piece, to balance things out and prevent from appearing too boxy or stuffy, especially if you're a rectangular shape. The silhouette will exaggerate your natural shape and make you appear extremely boxy, so balance it out with a more feminine silhouette to help soften things up ;)

I hope you all have an awesome rest of the weekend!
