So it’s been such a weird time trying to figure out what day it is most days lol! However, I have been trying to keep busy by still trying out Spring trends, making my own etc! I have decided to show you how to style a slip dress for day!
Now babes this slip dress I’m wearing is actually a true vintage nightie! To wear a piece like this and not have it look like you’re walking a Victoria’s Secret runway is by pairing it with chic accessories and structured pieces!
I paired this vintage slip with pumps and an oversized pink jacket, I added a baseball hat to finish off the look!
Everything I’m wearing is sold out or vintage so I will link to similar styles!
So I hope you are all hanging in there! I’ve decided to continue my theme of Wear The Dress! I love wearing dresses, I’m super girly at heart so when I go to my closet it’s usually the first thing I’ll reach for. With that being said I have a ton of dresses and some super fancy ones too, which leads me to beg the question of when do I wear it?!
The dress I decided to wear just because is one that has been sitting in my closet since before Thanksgiving. I was originally going to wear it for Thanksgiving and then I decided to wear something completely different. I love the flow and light weight feel! It’s a maxi that is definitely best suited for warm weather!
I purchased this dress on sale for $150 from Free People. It’s by Jen’s Pirate Booty
And it’s currently still for sale on their site! However, it’s gone back to its original price of $198.
Today, I decided to wear one of my favorite dresses! I know the dress is a bit “extra” for a casual outing but I love it! I have had this dress for probably 8 years sitting in my closet brand new for all that time! I wore it for the first time for my latest round of maternity pics and have been trying to find the “perfect” time to wear it again ever since. However, now that we have to all be at home and there aren’t any restaurants or malls, etc open there isn’t anywhere “special” to wear it to! That’s when I decided special is any day and every day!
Stop waiting for the perfect time to wear something. The perfect time doesn’t exist! The perfect time is anytime. You are special so that’s reason enough to wear your favorite outfit! This quarantine has taught me to appreciate the little things even more so than I already did and to not take things like wearing my favorite outfit for granted.
So today I’m here to tell you wear the dress, blazer, shoes or whatever special thing you’ve been waiting to wear! There’s usually always a way to make it work for day!
For example, on its own my dress is pretty fancy, however, paired with this plaid top and flats it makes it a bit more approachable for day!
Dress and plaid top are both sold out from Free People.
One of my fave things to do is layer my clothing! When I think of layering I think of it like baking a delicious layered cake. To make alayered cake the pieces have to come together in harmony and the flavors have to mesh well. The same thing is the case with layering clothing. You have to put together layers that are cohesive that have depth and character.
For this Spring layered look I took light pieces that had depth yet would still not be overpowering or that would not get too hot!
The layers are:
a light dress-Zara
A lace see-through dress- Free People
And a long Spring Jacket-Vintage
I picked fun colors that are light and exude a sense of light and Spring time sophistication!
When layering for Spring and Summer make sure the pieces are light in fabrics for color to give off the correct vibe!
Nothing says Spring like sporting Florals! It’s timeless and fresh and just screams Spring.
Florals feel like a renewal of fresh and bright things to come!
As you all should know by now, I’m in love with all things vintage, from furniture to clothing, vintage is for me! It’s a great way to reuse what we have and be chic at the same time!
I’ve paired my vintage floral dress with my signature red pumps and a baseball hat to make this fancy dress more casual!
Usually I have my vintage finds for sale in my boutique, however this time I fell in love and kept the dress!
How are you all doing? I hope well. I hope you are finding things to occupy your time while social distancing. I am definitely sad about not being able to do certain things, however I know how important it is to keep social distancing so that we can protect people, especially those that are high risk! I myself am high risk- I have asthma.
Now on to the fashion! I am on a vintage kick and I’m loving all things vintage. I found this super chic men’s blazer that I knew would look great worn oversized! I am styling this two ways: Casual and Dressy!
I love this outfit both ways how I style it depends on my mood and what I’m doing!
As I’m sure you’re well aware Valentine’s Day is next Friday! Which for one thing, how exciting is it to have all the major holidays on the weekend! I know some people aren’t on a traditional schedule. However , I’m super excited to have Valentine’s Day on a Friday! It’s just something about having it on the weekend that makes it better! I have put together a couple of outfits that would be awesome for the day of love! Remember you don’t have to have a significant other to celebrate love! You can celebrate with your kids by showering them with parental affection or celebrate with your best friend at your favorite restaurant or by seeing a movie with your tribe!
As you’ll see I choose to add my touch of Red by wearing Red pumps! I however am all for wearing a red dress on Valentine’s Day as well!
Christmas Time! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Which also means tons of events and wondering what to wear! It can be overwhelming! Well I have a few ideas for you which I hope will take some of the pressure off!
Event: Christmas Party-Casual
I say you can never go wrong with an Ugly Christmas Sweater! They are festive and fun and allow you to eat without wearing something tight and constricting. Pair with a mini skirt and tights to dress it up a bit!
Remember, this is a work party so you dress with that in mind. A safe bet is wearing dressy office attire with a dash of Cheer! A sparkly top, pencil skirt and brooch would be perfect!
No matter what you do during this Christmas season I hope you have an amazing time with family and friends! God bless you and remember Jesus is the reason for the season. Try not to forget the important things. Being with the ones you love.
Now babes this slip dress I’m wearing is actually a true vintage nightie! To wear a piece like this and not have it look like you’re walking a Victoria’s Secret runway is by pairing it with chic accessories and structured pieces!
