color, color, and more color!

Here I go again with my bold colors and florals, I just can’t stay away from it for too long!  I cannot even begin to describe my love affair with this skirt, I love it so much I feel like I’m cheating on my husband with a skirt, lol! I love how flowy, billowy, bright and cheerful it is, not to mention comfortable. Let’s just say I can get away with things that I wouldn’t be able to if I were sporting a much shorter skirt.  And this top… what more can I say? I think these two were a match made in heaven. Floral top would never cheat on blue maxi skirt with me, sadly. Hahahaha, okay I better stop. My post writing endeavor is going nowhere, seriously…but I hope y’all are having a great week!!

Thank you so much for reading and see you on my next post!

colorblocking

 

 

I’ve always been drawn to colorblock pieces but if you take a peek at my closet, all you’ll find are floral/graphic  and plain dresses.  If I am remembering correctly, this dress was an outcome of what was supposed to have been a window-shopping  trip that was incited by my extreme nervousness from my sports team losing in the finals, hence my altogether complete avoidance of being near a TV. Lol. I figured, “just” trying on dresses might be a good distraction. Well, I ended up picking this up over a much desired floral dress because I wanted to try something new and the two teenage girl cousins I was with at that time said so. No regrets ever since! This dress garnered so many compliments that I never want to let go of it! Even when I am old and gray…. And probably will not fit into it. Hahaha! I hope y’all are having a good week!

maxi dress

Who seriously doesn’t love the already-a-classic maxi dress for the summer? I know some of you are probably screaming in protest that noooo, these don’t ever look good on you but trust me when I say that there is a maxi dress out there for all of us… the optimist  in me believes this, hahaha! This hot weather staple has been around for a few summers now and I know that a lot of us felt that this was one hard style to pull off if you didn’t have the height for it but as our summers progressed, I have found (and seen) that the trick is finding THE perfect one for your body type.  I can confidently say that I have seen a maxi dress on almost all shapes and sizes and I am happy to share  that majority of the time, I have not been disappointed.  So believe me when I say that you look good in it!!

tuxedo jacket

Breaking away from all those overly feminine outfits I have been posting recently… way.too.girly ... it's killing me! Hahaha, who am I kidding, I love skirts and dresses so much, they practically make up my entire spring/summer closet. My cousin and I took these photos in the end of spring, hence the jacket.  It wasn’t quite 80 degrees (like it is now!) back then so this was just perfect.  I love the colors on this jacket so much that it needed to make an appearance on a blog post. My outfit preferences on certain days are very mood-dependent, and on some days, my no-brainer outfit is a trusty pair of skinnies and a nice jacket or blazer.  Grab and go as I would like to call it. I'm out of the door in, say, an hour? Hahaha, an hour definitely isn’t the definition of grab and go but you guys get the picture! Have you guys thought of what your go-to outfit is on lazy days?

 To everyone residing in the states, HAVE A HAPPY and SAFE 4th of July!!!

seeing red

I have to admit that a lot of the outfits I have worn so far aren’t very current. While I’d love to keep shopping for new clothes especially since the fashion-obsessed in me can’t help but lust over so many pretty things, my practical side keeps whispering in my ear that I shouldn’t. I have things hanging in my closet that I am still in love with and I have decided that they need to make an appearance on my blog before any madness ensues (you know what I’m talking about, hahaha)!

That being said, I remember perusing Atlantic Pacific’s blog and saw her in a stunning red midi skirt awhile back. All of sudden, I was reminded that I do, infact, have one too and have not worn it in over a year! While it isn’t as amazing as her’s, I thought  "hey, you old little red skirt, this might be your turn to inspire those ladies whose skirts have been tucked away for years and have not seen the light of day!"  So starting today, I declare, shop your closets, ladies!! J
