Work the Blue Dress

I have bought this dress from Target and necklace from Forever 21 within the last week.  I wanted to look at some options for styling without digging in the closest and this is what I came up with.

Kevin Hart, Let Me Explain

This last weekend I joined a few of my coworkers for a night out in Louisville to see Kevin Hart live for his new tour, "Let Me Explain."  Let me tell you, that man is hilarius to the 10th power, l0l.  I was laughing from the time he stepped on stage, to when he stepped off.  Tears rolling down my cheeks and a free ab work out.  If you have the chance to see him in action, GO!

 

For dinner we at this Mexican restaurant called Sol Azteca that I found on Yelp.  The food is delicious, but the service was terrible.  Maybe they weren't expecting to be so busy, but they had 4 staff members in the front of house for dinner service in a place that seated more than 50 people.

What I wore:

Old Navy top/ Torrid skinny ankle jeans/ Target flats

Aldo earrings/ Forever 21 necklace

MAC lipstick (Girl About Town)

The Gift of Thrift

So this post is way overdo!  Before I went on vacation, I organized a Holiday party for few co-workers.  Because it was right before Christmas, there was a theme of "Ugly Sweater" but no one had an ugly sweater surprisingly enough.  Prior to the party, I helped a co-worker go shopping for something to wear.

We went to our neighborhood Goodwill and found a ton of blazers.  Nothing fit me, but she it the walked out with a least 5 at about $6 each.  This green velvet blazer was one of them.  To update it, we went to Walmart and found new buttons for $2 a pack.

 

To bring it into the theme of the party we walked over to the jewelry section of Walmart and found a snowman broach for her to wear with the blazer.

How did we do?

Look at me Now!

So I was lucky enough to win a giveaway from Julia form The Cherry on Top.  She is a fashion designer based out of Germany that draws portraits of everyday women displaying their own stylistic view points.  I just love how she captured the detail of my outfit - everything from the pleats to the zipper details on my shoes.  She even captured the jewelery that I was wearing even though it was visible in the original photo.  It's like she knows me!

BDIB: Animal Instincts

I've been following Kristina at Pretty Shiny Sparky for about 6 months.  She has created different fashion challenges called Bloggers Do It Better that takes place every couple of months or so.  I've been wanting to participate for a while, but for one reason or another I wasn't able to.  Well not this month!  The current BDIB is all about animal prints.  Although I've been without a camera since moving to Kentucky,  I was able to get a coworker to take a few pics on her fancy iPad.  Here's how I showed my "Animal Instinct!"

 What I wore:

 Cardigan & Flats - Target
