Outfit Post: Neon Green Skater Dress

What's a girl to do when that dress she orders arrives and it's, well, waaaaay too short to be an actual dress, but she still loves it oh-so-much? Well you take those lemons and you make a top out of it!

American Eagle jeggings

Zara metallic pumps (sold out - try these instead)

Spicer Bags "Carryall" multi-color cork clutch with gold tassel

Ruti Horn gold cuffs c/o 

Maybelline Vivids lipstick in "Fuchsia Flash"

I've been searching forever for a neon green skater dress ever since I missed out on scoring the one during H&M's 2009 Conscious Collection release. So when this one arrived, and I knew it was going to be way too short to wear without something on the bottom, I thought why not make it a top? Add on some distressed skinnies and boom, instant brunch outfit.

Outfit Post: Jeans, Tee, Belt Bag. Repeat.

This has been my uniform as of late. A great pair of jeans, lived in tee, cute heels and a great bag. In this case, it's a kick-ass belt bag from #TheHex Collection. It has a unique shape, is holographic, AND it's convertible. Which means 3 bags in one! Can you say L-O-V-E?

Psssst how amazing is this rose gold wood watch? Yes that's right, wood watch! Super unique right? I absolutely love the color and the metallic face, while the Swarovski crystals are a glam touch. (Hello, this is Bedazzles After Dark after all! But I think my favorite part about it, is that it's so lightweight. And since I'm such a big fan of oversize watches, I get the look without all the weight on my wrist. Did I mention they have ladies and men's options? Yes, please!

I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel my best in a great pair of jeans and a comfy tee. I had a girls night out with a friend in town and as much as I wanted to get dressed up, this outfit was just as chic to me and allowed me to eat truffle fries. Okay LOTS of truffle fries.

Outfit Post: Neon Yellow Jacket

I love a great blazer, dark denim and a perfect pair of shoes. This outfit has all those elements, but with a new twist on those classic pieces. A neon colored jacket, destroyed pair of skinny jeans & purple suede sandals, combine together to create a fabulous and casual yet put together ensemble!

Zara neon yellow jacket (almost exact duplicate here)

Zara blouse (old - identical option)

American Eagle jegging in Dark Destroy

Sole Society "Sable" sandal in Lilac

Kendra Scott "Rae" necklace in White Iridescent

Caravelle NY watch in Gold Tone (gifted)

Belliza Knight vintage-inspired ring (gifted)

I know this jacket is about 3 years old, but you won't believe this almost exact duplicate I discovered that comes in 3 different colors. And the price is spot on.

Don't be afraid to mix your color combos up. The black blouse and dark denim help tie in the bright colors nicely, don't you think? 

I hope that you guys are already having a great week. 4 more days and we've reached the 3 day weekend! I don't know about you, but I am really excited about some vacay downtime. Until then, let's plan on having an amazing Tuesday, okay? xoxo
