I’ve been seeing polka dots a lot lately and it made me nostalgic enough to pull out my own. I’ve always liked polka dots. Something about the print felt a bit retro and cute, but in an elegant way. This top has always been one I love to wear. In fact I…
Red Velvet: Red Velvet Dress and Black Boots
I wore this red velvet dress a few times in the winter and have loved it every time. It’s a bit warmer than a typical summer dress but the weather is still unpredictable so it worked perfectly with a pair of black boots and a black crystal (but really glass I’m sure) necklace. …
Monochrome Black: Lace-Up Top and Leather Skirt
I put together another monochrome black look. I think I might be developing a pattern. This one is really simple too with more classic elements. I love the little details that keep this look from being boring; like the lace-up potions at the shoulders of the top and the leather texture of the skirt. Sometimes…
How to Wear a Slip Dress: Navy Velvet Top and Black Slip Dress
Slip dresses are such an easy piece to style once you get the hang of them. They are lovely on their own whether they have a pattern or not and regardless of the fabric and there are so many possibilities for things to wear with them. On its own, a slip dress is an elegant…
Be You: Floral Slip Dress, Burgundy Boots and Blazer
I’m naturally a really shy person and having a blog is very rewarding, but is also a struggle for me because of this. Writing used to come easy to me a while ago, but I often find myself struggling when writing a post because I’m worried that I’ll say something wrong. But it’s important for…
Voluminous: Gathered Sleeve Button-Up Blouse and White Jeans
I love large sleeves in my tops and dresses. It doesn’t matter whether they’re gathered or loose and flared, I love them all. Something about the look feels a bit medieval to me and as a lover of high fantasy, this is a time period that I romanticize quite a bit in my head. I…
Cutouts, but Not: Mesh Insets Sweatshirt, Jeans and Combat Boots
I love cutouts in my clothing and think that a bit of skin can be a really fun way to spice up an otherwise simple piece of clothing. Nothing can really be simpler than a hooded sweatshirt so it’s a good thing that it has a version of this fun element. This is the mesh…
Crystal and Velvet: Mint Sweater, Crystal Necklace and Velvet Leggings
I realize that most people have already pulled out their summer clothes, but it’s still rather chilly here so I have yet to pack away my sweaters. I recently wore a pair of velvet leggings here and that post was also on the dressier side. I repeat the vibe. The necklace…
Working the Monochrome: Sparkly Black Top and Velvet Leggings
I shocked myself by putting together another monochrome look (black again like the one here) so soon after my previous one. This one has a different vibe though consisting of a dressy black top and velvet leggings. The crochet top is pretty sparkly and I love the hint or ruffle trim peeking out from the…
Burgundy: Hoody, Floral Leggings and Patent Leather Combat Boots
You may have noticed that I wear a lot of burgundy (like here, here and here). In fact, it’s my favorite color for clothing. White being my favorite color in general (it’s actually a shade according to the rules of color, but it’s still my favorite). One of my wedding dresses was burgundy which should give you a strong…
