Fashionably Late

|| Blazer || Similar Loft Jeans || Leopard Kicks || Bangles 1 & 2 || Tank ||

If you can't beat the heat, mine as well embrace it, right?? Here's to Winter being fashionably late!!!

This shoot was such a blast!! It reminded me of how much I truly enjoy doing this blog. I love sharing inspiration with you all.  What's on the inside counts more than anything and style is a way to express a little bit about ourselves. Life can be so stressful and weigh us down if we aren't careful.  It's so important to keep things lighthearted and remember to embrace life as much as possible.  Hope this fun post brought a smile to your Monday...there are some serious candids in here! haha

Lady Like Plaid

Plaid Shirt: NY & Co. : Similar || Bag || Jeans || Heels || Rings || Necklace: NY & Co. : Similar || Bangle

Happy Saturday Lovely Ladies!

I am loving this sunshine and this feminine twist on plaid. I mean you can never go wrong with pastel pink, navy and gray. These different textures of plaid and fringe are so fun too. Plaid is so versatile in the ways that it can be worn. I hope this gives you some fall fun inspo!

Maxin & Relaxin

 

Maxi: Dress Barn (sold out- more of their dresses) || Woven Clutch: Dress Barn ||

 Sandals: Dress Barn (sold out- more of their shoes) || Cuff: Old || Earrings/Ring: Silpada

 

I was on a shopping excursion with my Mama, in search of a dress for her. We ended up stumbling into Dress Barn.  I was browsing the racks one by one and...(wait for it) not only found something for her but also found something for me! Going into the store I had no intention of looking for me but was pleasantly surprised, I must say. They offer a wider variety of sizes than stated on their store doors and have fun and colorful pieces. I was so pleased, I decided to accessorize most of my outfit from there. I thought Dress Barn deserved a shout out and I was excited to show off this side of Dress Barn that I recently, discovered. Hopefully this inspires you all to take a second look at them and any store you may think has nothing to offer you.

 

This was a true "Brandom" find...

Florals & Stripes

Dress: eShakti || Bracelet: Shop Urbanite || Ring: Silpada || Earrings: Francesca's ||

 Heels & Clutch: JustFab || Lip: Covergirl Jumbo Gloss Balm

 

I absolutely adore the pairing of stripes and florals, it creates such a fun, loving pop, I just can't get over!  I was on the market for a dress that I could wear for work and play, luckily I found eShakti!  I was instantly drawn to the beautiful colors in this dress and eShakti's amazing customizability. I was able to choose the length of the hemline for this dress. The longer length makes it so easy to transform this dress from work to play. I also, was able to pick this neckline, which flatters my face shape (heart). The length and empire waistline, gives this dress a total 50's feel (making it a blast to wear). I loved modernizing it with glam accessories, sexy hot pink heels and a striped clutch.

P.S. This day was beyond hot & humid, don't mind my fizzy hair! AH!
