Out on the Town

Hello beautiful people! Today's look is inspired by my old "date night" experiences!

I used to go out a lot a little while ago, and as a girl, I would always feel like it was obscene to wear the same thing twice.  The guy I was dating really couldn't have cared less, but it is a common and silly mindset that many ladies I know possess.  Anyway, as you can imagine this got very expensive very quickly, I would be buying dresses costing a few hundred dollars almost every week (and again, ONLY WEARING them ONCE!) 

Now to my point, being a single mother, I really cannot afford that type of lifestyle.  My quick fix?  Mix and match separates!  I started buying skirts and tops that I could interchange so I would have new outfits constantly and not feel the need to buy new things for every date!  

This look is perfect for a nice dinner out, a wide range of parties, and night out on the town!

And ladies can we all kick this ridiculous thought that we can't go out in or be photographed int he same thing twice?  

My closet is too full and my purse is always angry with me!

Hello Hello Hello!!  I am so excited to share this post with all of you!  I got so much love for my Business Savvy look I posted a little while ago, I had to follow it up with another fabulous professional look!  Note to self; if you are wearing a sheer blouse to work put on a camisole!! :)  Like all of what I post, I love love love this look and hope you all do too!

As I mentioned earlier, if you will be wearing a sheer blouse to a professional event or place of business, please wear an undershirt! 

And while I do adore my "sky high heels" if I was wearing this to a place of business I would follow the rule 3 inches or under.

I really love a sophisticated yet trendy professional look.  I find them to be so fun to style and wear 

anytime, anywhere.  Please let me know what you think of this look by leaving comments below and let me know if you would like to see more of this type of look!

A Colorful Fall

As we venture into the cooler weather that fall brings, we all start updating our closets and saying good bye to our summer wardrobe.  We bring in the neutrals and darker fall and winter colors and prints.

Well, make sure you don't oust all your color!

Adding a little splash of color can brighten your whole look!  

Brighter oranges, reds, and even greens still say fall without being too drab.

  I find the trick in keeping your look "fresh" when you wear so much black, is to always find very original pieces or very classic pieces that can be paired with anything.

Fall Preview!

This is an outfit that I just love for the beginning of fall! 

The peep toe shoes hold on to the nice weather and the loose knit sweater is great for the change in season!  Let me know what you think and if you're going to try a similiar look.

This great look can out last the warm weather if you just add a pair of boots.

Blazer and Skinnies

This look is one of the most popular, I think, of 2012.  Blazers aren't just for the office anymore, they have been integrated into everyday fashion.  Denim has taken on new life with bright and pastel colors that allow so much room for interpretation with this look.  

Below all of the pictures are descriptions of each piece.  Let me know what you think and leave comments or pictures if you have any of similar looks!

I wore this outfit with a messy ponytail because it down plays the business appeal of the ensemble. It's also very easy for anyone constantly on the go!

Sunglasses are Dolce & Gabbana from Sunglass Hut

Blazer is from Forever21

This cami is from Forever21 and let me say one of my favorite tops!  It flows so nicely on it's own and looks beautiful paired with a jacket as I did here.

Skinny jeans are Rich & Skinny from the Nordstrom Rack

Shoes are Ciji from Shoedazzle.com

Layered silver necklace is from Express

Black wrap bracelet is from Forever21

Watch was a gift and is by Roberto Cavalli
