Tribal Nights

Hey! It's been TOO long since my last blog post! I've been really missing it. I've probably worn a bunch of outfits that would've been great to post, but just never had the time. Between school and work, and my job over the summer, there's just hardly any time to do the things I have to do. I wish I just had a photographer that could follow me around and a person who could put up all the photos and blog posts from me :P Anyway, I did manage to take some quick photos of an outfit that I recently wore out to a comedy show with my boyfriend. It's very summery--it can easily be a daytime outfit, but I just added a dramatic necklace and dark lipstick to make it more nighttime appropriate. Can you believe that I found this skirt at Ross for $6.99?! It's the steal of the summer! I paired it with a tribal necklace and kept everything relatively simple. Hope you enjoy it!

You Red My Mind

I've gotten so many uses out of this leather skirt so far, but this outfit is probably my favorite one out of all of them. It's really the shoes that I am completely in love with. Aren't they so sexy and unexpected? I love the bright, look-at-me red, and the combination of the mesh and leather. I've never quite seen anyone with anything like them. I usually hate red (probably because I worked at Target for seven years while in college), but lately I just can't get enough of it. They are definitely a heel I want to display when I figure out a cool closet system. I highly recommend you check out the latest BCBGeneration collection--I'm such a fan lately! Stay tuned for another look I did with my brand new BCBGeneration over-the-knee boots!

Return of the Wrap

I know, I know. I just talked a whole bunch of trash about the typical "going-out" outfit. But in my defense, this isn't typical. Yes, it may be a tight-fitting skirt. Yes, I may be wearing relatively common heels. But this outfit is still likely to stand out in any bar or ultra-lounge. The skirt is a beautiful emerald green that pops against the crisp white of the faux-wrap top (which I am completely obsessed with, as you can tell). I picked gold accessories because they are in keeping with the Grecian vibes of this top. No need to do anything funky or tricky with the footwear; some nice beige or blush heels are all that this outfit needs to to complete this look. If green isn't your thing or doesn't go well with your skin tone, I recommend trying this basic outfit formula with any other color of your choice!

Mint Condition

Once in a while, I think every girl puts on an outfit in which she feels super confident and, yes, even pretty. For me, this is that outfit. I love everything about it! Upon being invited to a birthday party at "the club," I started thinking of what to wear. I was tired of the usual ensemble--a tight-fitting skirt or dress (usually in dark "evening" colors) and heels. Every girl wears this. I've worn this a bazillion times. I wanted to wear something fun and playful-- something more summer-y and more representative of my personality.

When deciding what I was going to wear, I just knew I wanted to wear this top. I love its Grecian-like qualities and clean lines. I initially started pairing it with the usual suspects--tight skirts. It was actually by accident that I paired it with this skirt. This was meant to be part of a daytime outfit. However, when I put the two together, I loved what I saw. The top was sexy and appropriate for the evening, and the skirt was flirty and girly. It was voluminous and made my figure look a little more curvy. I added my favorite pink shoes to the mix because their straps are so sassy, but the color keeps them playful and not trashy-looking. The colors work so well together, and the smooth texture of the top juxtaposed against the waffle-like texture of the skirt looks awesome. In addition to feeling like a million bucks in this outfit, I was even more pleased with it when I saw that not one girl at "the club" had anything like it. Success :)
