Happy Tuesday...

Hope you work week is off to a great start, I had early morning meetings, but made a effort to get up earlier to take some OOTD pics.. today was the first day that it wasn't raining on my way to work, so I took advantage of the sunshine. 

Today I felt like wearing some vibrant spring colors, colorblocking this Sherbet Peach blazer (SA Thrift) with Mint jeans from Forever 21, a simple cream top and neutral colored booties from Aldo. I love this color combination, I'm still experimenting with pastel colors and what works with my skin tone. 

Enjoy your day

Wrapped In Stripes

Another beautiful morning here in the Chicago land area :)

I'm wearing my spring pieces before it changes up on us again.. which is bound to happen in a few days :(.  This dress is another CrossRoads Trading Thrift find, I purchased sometime last summer. I love the colors and the faux wrap detail. The material is light weight and flows over the curves nicely. It will be making another appearance during the summer months for sure.  Wearing my color block platform pumps from Akira, random jewelry and of course a crop denim jacket when I get to the office.

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather and have a wonderful day :)

Asos Dress...

Good Wednesday Morning Lovelies...

We are finally having a warm Spring day...it's been raining most days, but you take what you can get here in the Midwest. I've been holding on to this dress for a few weeks now, waiting for it to be nice enough to wear and take photos in without a jacket outside. I'm wearing a cropped dark denim jacket in the office, can't get away with showing this much skin at work LOL..

This beauty is from ASOS. It was on sale for $29 and I had to have it. I love the detail at the neckline and of course the high/low detail of the bottom of the dress. The wind was blowing and added to the dramatic pics showing just how flirty this dress can be.  I'm wearing lace up platform sandals from Bakers that I've had for a few years now. Kept my accessories simple not to take away from the clean lines of the dress.

Hope you enjoy the pics and have a wonderful day.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday Ladies & Gents...

I feel like I've been slacking on my posting.. well I know I have :( but it's been such a busy few weeks and just getting more busy, but with lots of exciting things coming up, that I can't wait to share with you guys. 

On to today's outfit. I found this dress at CrossRoads Trading a few weeks ago for $10. I'm always amazed at what people sale, donate, or just don't want. It's perfect and on trend for Spring/Summer. I'm becoming a fan of the color red, find myself wearing it more often. Paired with my faux JC Lita's from Go Jane and BCBG belt.... I think this is a pretty cute outfit :). 

Wishing you all a great day.

Enjoy
