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!

Zara metallic pumps (sold out - try these instead)

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.

If you're in the Raleigh area, come shopping with me! This Thursday from 5-7. I'll be at The Impeccable Pig and you'll get 20% off full priced items! Including their newest fall arrivals (yay!) Hope to see you there!

Outfit Post: Neon Orange & White Skater Dress

I'm still going through Charleston withdrawals from this past weekend's Southern Blog Society conference (or #SBScon as you may have seen floating around the blogsphere) There's something special about that little city. It's charming, beautiful, magical, and let's not forget hot as hell! Hence the crazed half-curled, half-uh-what? hairstyle happening in these photos.

That's okay though. Let's be honest. We all know I like my hair a little did-she-even-wash-or-brush-that-mane look. The first full day of the conference was jam packed with speakers, panels, networking, oh and champagne. Lots of champagne. Of course I had to wear something bright, fun and oh-so-Bedazzles After Dark. As always, The Impeccable Pig swooped in and saved the day with this fabulous neon skater dress.

Sole Society cork wedge sandals (so old - similar option at Last Call)

Michael Kors watch

FitBit Flex (love this so much)

Sole Society "Danielle" sunglasses in Gold.

If it's neon and from TIP, chance are pretty good I'm going to love it. I made this dress daytime wearable with neutral accessories, messy hair and minimal makeup. Just lots of mascara and several swipes of fuchsia lipstick. 

I don't know what it is, but I love the combination of an orange/coral dress with hot pink lipstick. Seem weird at all? Okay good because I don't plan on stopping. It leaves you feeling sassy with a capital Sssss!

You guys, there's so much I wanted to say about #SBScon. It was absolutely amazing. I could seriously go on and on, but more on that later.

Hope you guys have a wonderful Tuesday! Oh and I'm holding the RDU Baton today. Would love for you to follow along with me! xoxo

When I spotted this dress on The Impeccable Pig's instagram last week, I knew I was going to fall in love with it. I mean, what's not to like? It's neon, printed, has a skater skirt and is such a flattering cut. So when I popped by last Friday during a shopping day with my mom, my feelings were confirmed - it's amazing! And when I asked you guys on instagram - you thought so too! So my wonderful mama scooped it up as an early birthday present for me. I'm so thankful that IP has fabulous budget friendly prices.. otherwise I'd be in MAJOR trouble.

 

You know that feeling when you can't freaking wait to wear something? Yeah.. you know what I'm talking about! That's how I felt about this piece. So a mid-week date night with Bill was the perfect excuse to bust it out (never mind that he was in casual chords & rainbow flip flops) I let the print speak for itself choosing neutral booties, metallic accessories and messy boho waves. It really makes the print pop don't you think? By the way - I'm still on the hunt for a new curling wand - won't you give me your 2 cents here so I can make a decision already?! Oh and if you need to hear more about my obsession love for The Impeccable Pig see this.

 

Cheers to the weekend everyone! Happy Friday!
