Pretty Young Thing

 I notice every post I say "THIS IS MY FAVORITE xy, or z"... ok for real this time! THIS is my new favorite dress LOL


Yet another thrifted fashion find! Yes that is my slip hanging out LOL don't judge me, i just came from church haha

I kind of liked the slip peeking out! Can you believe someone complimented me on wearing a slip! They said women my age don't believe in modesty anymore!

Yes I am THAT focused! Look at my face! I think I was making sure my feet were properly moisturized!

This is such a romantic look! 

I hope you all love it as much as I do! By the way if you are a lurker... why not hit that "FOLLOW"button at the top, or leave a comment to let me know I am not just talking to myself haha! Thanks for stopping by!

Heard It All Before...

This dress. WOW...

Of course I found this at the thrift store. I have been wanting a dress like this for so long. I am not crazy about the pattern but I love the whole feel of this! So vintage!

Already my best friend is trying to yank this from my closet LOL... sorry honey. Not yet ;)


The dress also looks good without a tank underneath, but I wanted to be covered up for work. Next time I wear it I will leave the tank at home!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Lilac-A-Baby

I wish I knew the name of this style of dress. I have about three of them but don't know what they are called. The thrift store is a great place to find dresses identical to this!

This dress was a sweet find! Won't even tell you how much I paid...;)

I messed up the material by blow drying it after cleaning off a spot to speed the drying process. So next time NO HEAT!

Peach shoes made this a very swank outfit! I just loved wearing this dress today!

It's not really "flattering" for my body type but hey it still looks pretty darn cool! I think it would be FAB on someone with a figure like Beyonce (wider hips)

You have all seen these shoes before!

This ring had the same color in it as the dress. That would pretty much be DESTINY lol

 Poised & Polished!

Bad Hair Day

I have been spending way too much time looking at celeb pics! Halle has been wearing a baseball cap lately and I thought I would copy her look hee hee :)

Wearing a hat is simplicity at it's finest! And hats are so cheap. I wasn't REALLY having a bad hair day either. No need to wait until then to pull a cap on in the name of FASHION!



I don't own a pair of boyfriend jeans yet but I think that would pull this look all together!

I like the cap with short hair. Thanks Halle!

Heart Shaped Love

Another lazy pre-summer day ;)

It was Memorial Day and we were headed to eat BBQ with family. I wanted to be relaxed so I put on some jeans and this heart-shaped tee!

I just love this porch. The whole apartment is very vintage! One day I will probably blog about it. I mean high ceilings, AND huge windows. Perfection!

I did not want to get to matchy with the jewelry so I wore gold earrings accented with orange and baby blue. And a baby blue set of plastic pearls on my arm. I believe I had on a navy ring also. I loved it! Thanks for stopping by!

Oh... Secretary!

I can't get enough of these SHOES...

I like putting them on with something very unexpected. Like this dress I got from a local thrift store. 

It makes so much fashion-sense to mix the old with the new. 

Since I chose a "nude" shoe I wanted to tie it back in with some jewelry. 

This was my first time wearing this and I got TONS of compliments. I think I will wear it more often ;) Thanks for stopping by!

I am learning more and more about what cuts look great on my body type. 

 This dress is a nice deep purple. I did not want to match too much so I put on these platform pumps in a lighter shade. Nice contrast!

A better look at the shoes! I wore these in my first blog post!

The dress also has a a poof detail that looks like flowers. I love it so much!

This is my newest blazer. It's a Tommy Hilfiger seersucker print. AWESOME!

I wore my favorite sandals with this to make it look more casual. I am thinking about getting it taken in a little so it is more cinched. 

Notice the detail at the back of the blazer. Really cutesy... I wish I had a white skirt for this look! I am so happy tomorrow I am getting a hair cut. I like a more clean look and it's getting to shaggy in the back! I will for SURE post pics of my new look!

Minnie Mouse

I have been super busy... this little puppy is the reason :) I love her! She is falling into a routine now so I can have more free time. Her name is MiMi short for Mini Mama lol!!!

Now that it is finally warming up I want to live in cute little dresses like this one!

I kept the accessories really simple. I did a brown belt and shoes to match my bag. 

Look how WONDERFUL that wedge is! I love these shoes. They are comfy and can dress up anything!

Hope you all enjoyed this look as much as I did! Stay tuned, more to come!

Tippy-Taupes

Please stop what you are doing and look at these taupe booties from Charlotte Russe!


Finally my computer and camera are back on the same page and I can post more!
I liked this booties a lot more with leggings than with jeans. I got TONS of compliments on them also!


For some reason this stoop outside my apartment reminds me of the Cosby Show LOL... I gotta take more pics out here :) Thanks for stopping by!

Breathless

Feels like forever has come and gone! But I am back!...

The computer had been freezing and needed a major cleanup. So I could not save any pics for a while but everything is ok now. I hope I am not too far out of the habit...

Oversized blazers are great for throwing on with some heels for a complete outfit!

Did you know that every woman should have on 5 pieces of jewelry to complete her look? I learned this at a jewelry party the other week. So I have been doubling my bracelets, doing earrings, a necklace and a ring whenever possible...
Don't forget to check out the hair blog also for updates!

I love clothes... all kinds. My style is pretty classy with a touch of whatever I choose for the day! The motto "dress to impress" should be mentioned at my funeral... I live by it! After all you never know who's watching and what kind of impression you will leave on their life forever.
