Outfit Post: Color Block Shift Dress

Banana Republic Factory Printed Coat (old - similar option at Tulle)

Zara Plaid Tartan Blanket Scarf (sold out :( but try this one from Madewell or this one on Etsy)

LuLu's Color Block Citrus Grove Dress in Taupe c/o

Eitenne Aigner Riding Boot (old - but LOVE this version from Victoria's Secret and this pair from Nine West)

Sole Society Smythe Sunglasses in Tortoise and Natassia Satchel c/o || Forever 21 Owl Necklace (similar) || oNecklace Cursive Monogram Necklace c/o || Revlon Just Bitten lip stain in "Lovesick" || Sally Hansen  "Cinna-Snap" nail polish

Finally got some new pictures! Yay for sunshine and no rain! :) I wore this outfit last week to work (and shared on instagram) for a client meeting. I am in absolute love with this shift dress from LuLu's. I like that it has long sleeves and isn't too short making it totally work appropriate. The neutral colors will be fun to pair with colored tights and the actual color blocking hits your body at flattering angles. Sometimes I feel like shift dresses can swallow me since I'm so petite - but not this one! I can't wait to style it with a fur vest! 

Kicking that old myth of not mixing black and brown to the curb I paired it with some cozy tights and comfy brown boots. This Sole Society bag is officially attached to my hand at all times. I can't get enough of it. It holds a lot because there is a ton of room on the inside, yet it stays surprisingly lightweight. Oh and did I mention it's vegan-friendly leather? Oh yes - get on it!

I'm counting down the days until Christmas Eve. Not because of presents silly! I'm excited to have a nice break from work and enjoy celebrating the birth of Baby Jesus! Until then, I've got A LOT of Christmas shopping to do!! Happy Wednesday!

Outfit Post: Bright Color Block

I've been wearing these Blu Bijoux beaded bracelets nonstop. They will be seen in many upcoming posts!

 

Dress: Express (olddddd)

Shoes: Enzo Angiolini (also olddddd)

Wallet: Sundae Sky (on major sale here)

Beaded Bracelets: Blu Bijoux c/o Max & Chloe (Skull, Ball)

Neon Chain Bracelet: The Stylist LA

Lips: Revlon "Wild Orchid" // Nails: Sinful Colors "Neon Melon"

 

This outfit is special. Okay, not really the outfit per se, but the pieces themselves. I've had this tunic dress for a long time, dare I say, it was actually my 21st birthday dress. The shoes - my rehearsal dinner shoes! Having not worn either item in a very long time, I was excited to shop my closet and pair them together.

 

I was challenged by Ma Nouvelle Mode to color block and instead of doing the usual top/bottom, I went with a dress/accessory color block. Sure it's bright, but I am loving bold colors right now (who am I kidding - I love them all the time!) Plus, I want to take full advantage before we head into fall!

 

P.S. isn't this the prettiest street? It's probably one of Bill's favorites - doesn't it look like the palm trees go on for forever?

 

I also really love this wallet clutch, even if it doesn't hold much more than basic accessories. Exhibit A:

 

ID, Bank Card, Business Cards, Cash, Phone, and Lipstick

 

 

Sometimes, it's fun to rummage through what you've got and re-discover some once lost items. Have you shopped your closet recently? If so, what did you find? Tell me! I love wardrobe inspiration :) Happy Thursday!
