Outfit Post: Abstract Crop Top & Midi Skirt

Just because fall is coming soon, doesn't mean I have to give up on crop tops! With the right cut, colors and style, you can make a crop top work for just about any occasion.

A few weeks ago, I told you about my exciting shopping trip at Carolina Premium Outlets. It was SO much fun visiting all the stores during "Better Than Tax Free" Weekend. I had never actually been to these outlets before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was REALLY impressed! J.Crew, Banana Republic, Gap, Ray Ban, I mean the list goes on... and they had some really amazing deals. If you're in the RDU area, you've got to check out their stores.

Thankfully, I got a ton of pieces for fall, including this beautiful crop top and skirt set. When I put it on in the store, I told my mom "this is how you wear a crop top in a classy way." It's so elegant and pretty. I LOVE it!

Stay tuned for more of my amazing finds from Carolina Premium Outlets - I have so many to share! Happy Tuesday!

Outfit Post: Just A Little Sparkle

Here's my last outfit from #SBScon. I figured this gorgeous and super fun sparkly midi skirt was the perfect option for a night on the town in Charleston. Plus, my blog's name is Bedazzles After Dark after all.

I know I've already shared my love for the 90's over and over again, but I just can't enough of crop tops or these peep toe mules. I wasn't sure if mules were even for me, but once these babies arrived, I knew it was love at first purchase. I loved them SO much, that I even bought them in black. Yes please! Pssst they run a little bit so make sure you get your size. If you're in between sizes, I'd size down.

I'm headed to CA this week for so much needed girl time with my favorites. I haven't even started to think about packing. Does anyone else wait until the last minute to pack? I'm the absolute worst. So basically I'll be up late on Wednesday night before my 7 AM flight. Why fix something if it ain't broke ;) Happy Tuesday loves!

Another game day, another edition of #BADxGameDay! I think this might be one of my favorite Game Day looks because I got to actually wear this to the FSU - NC State game a few weeks ago. It was an incredibly stressful, exciting and crazy game to be at. Especially if you're sitting directly behind the Wolfpack's student section, wearing this. But I really didn't care. I tomahawk-chopped my little Seminole heart out.  

Let's talk tailgate/stadium outfits for a minute. This Erin Dana belt bag is AMAZING. I could eat hotdogs, play cornhole, double fist drinks (hey, I was getting into the college spirit) and jump around cheer my team on, without having to worry about where my damn handbag was. It was AMAZING. Oh and if you were wondering, I breezed through "security."

My go to game day jewelry is always JV Hantres. She's got lots of school options including Clemson, Bama, Georgia, Auburn and more. Jacqueline can also do custom orders if you request them! How cute would this bracelet be in your team's colors? Talk about school spirit! She's also giving BAD readers 10% off your order of $20 or more through the rest of 2014. I mean, hello Christmas gifts! Use JV Hantres promo code BADxFSU.

I'm thinking of doing another spotlight for your Game Day outfits like the one I posted last year. Are you guys interested again? Leave a comment below if you are! xo

I promise you that I own more in my wardrobe than crop tops. But apparently I can't get enough of them. I love wearing them with skirts, shorts, pants. You name it, I will try to wear a crop top with it. Let's just call it a healthy obsession. Plus it keeps me motivated to do those ab exercises at the gym!

This neon green skirt is right up my ally. It's bright, girly, feminine and so much fun. I just couldn't resist pairing it with a bright neon necklace and simple black accessories (how amazing is this D'Andrea bag? It's the updated version and I LOVE the chain!) Have you jumped on the crop top train yet? If you're not sure about testing out the cropped waters, a high waisted bottom is your best choice allowing you to show just a sliver of skin so you feel comfortable.

Sometimes you just need to rock a high pony.

Sometimes a girl just needs a night on the town. 

Sometimes I absolutely love being a woman.

Wearing this outfit is one of those times. For me it doesn't get much better than this!
