Hey everyone!
It's been quite a while since my last outfit post, and I just wanted to share with you this simple, casual summer outfit. This is a perfect outfit for just hanging out with some friends or running errands
I designed this outfit with the Black Center Flower Buckle from Belt Buckle Boutique as the centerpiece. I decided to pair this belt with a pair of white jean shorts and a bright mint-colored v-neck t-shirt. The white jean shorts are perfect for contrasting with the dark color of the belt and buckle. Also, the rough texture of the jean shorts complement the texture and weathered appearance of the brown belt. The mint shirt is really great for this casual summer outfit because it's such a fun and bright color. I chose to do a twist on the usual green and brown earth tone combination by using the mint green color. The belt really helps to separate the light colors of my shirt and shorts from each other. Also, the flower buckle is perfect for adding a touch of femininity to this outfit.
Earrings: PacSun
Necklace: Gift
Shirt: Abercrombie & Fitch
Belt & Buckle c/o Belt Buckle Boutique
Bracelet: eBay
Shorts: American Eagle
Sandals: Forever 21
If you are interested in the buckle in this outfit, then you're in luck! You can enter my giveaway to win a buckle from Belt Buckle Boutique :) All you have to do is click here to enter.
Of course, the main accessory in this outfit is the belt and buckle. So, to avoid competing with the belt and buckle, I chose more subdued pieces for my jewelry. I put on a pair of gold and pearl flower studs to further the flower theme from the buckle. Also, the studs work well with this outfit because the gold color coordinates beautifully with the mint-colored shirt. I have on my silver butterfly pendant necklace that I always wear. The necklace really adds to this outfit because the buckle is an antique silver color. For my wrists, I chose a simple brown faux leather wrap bracelet with gold studs to imitate the look of the brown belt. I finished off this outfit with my glittery gold and brown t-strap sandals.

Hey everyone!
I was picking out an outfit for an upcoming holiday party, and I figured that I would show you what I came up with! For holiday parties, it's so much fun to go all out and dress in a way that you normally wouldn't. You can find all of your sparkly, pretty accessories and incorporate them into a really fabulous outfit this year! I love the theme that I decided on: Gold and Sparkly! What more can you ask for? :) Check out my video of this outfit on Youtube!

Bangles: PacSun
Beaded Bracelet: eBay
Charm Bracelet: Charlotte Russse
Dress: Charlotte Russe
Nina Heels: Dillard's
I chose a simple gold tube dress because I really wanted my accessories to be the main feature of this outfit. This dress is simply gorgeous, and it is also a really nice shade of gold. It's not too gold in a way that might be overpowering, and it has hints of champagne undertones. The ruched detailing and pleating really help accentuate the figure. I have to admit that part of the reason I bought this dress was because of its pockets! I love the idea of being able to just put a few basic necessities in my pockets and go to the party. I don't like having to worry about maybe losing or misplacing my clutch when I go out for events.
These strappy platinum heels are my favorite! I love how the color is really works with this outfit because I have so many crystal accents in this outfit. The color is not too silver that it would stand out since I'm not wearing silver anywhere else in my outfit. It has nice gold undertones that really match it to my dress.
I pulled out all of the stops in my accessories! I chose a black headband with crystal detailing because the black of the band blends in really nicely with my hair, making the crystal pop out in this outfit. I skipped earrings because my hair covers my ears and I also didn't want to clash with the main statement piece: my necklace! I love the gold, faux pearl, and crystal rhinestone necklace that I recently got. I just had to buy it and couldn't wait to incorporate it into this outfit. It's really a great statement piece that draws attention in a way that makes this outfit much more elegant and polished. I gave my wrists some bling by wearing my gold and crystal bangles, a gold and green beaded bracelet, and a gold and crystal charm bracelet. Last but not least, I picked out a statement ring for this outfit. I normally don't wear large rings, but I thought the ring would be perfect for this outfit since it's gold with green rhinestones; the green ties in Christmas to this outfit!
I hope you enjoy this outfit! Let me know if you have any questions or have any requests for more outfits.

Hey everyone!
I wanted to show you what I wore for a professional event today! I know that it can be difficult to figure out what to wear for professional or business casual events; you want be dressed appropriately for the event and in a way that fits your age. Check out my video of this outfit on Youtube!
Pearl Studs, Necklace, and Bracelet: Gift
Gold and Crystal Bangles: PacSun
Gold Filigree and Faux Pearl Bracelet: eBay
Shirt: Express
Skirt: Charlotte Russe
Heels: Calvin Klein/Dillard's
Cardigan: Old Navy
I chose the red v-neck top because it has a really pretty and vibrant color to dress up this outfit. After all, dressing up like this doesn't have to be completely boring! It's definitely important to spice it up and bring out your personality while still looking professional. I love how the v-neck on this shirt stops at an appropriate length and doesn't expose too much cleavage. The ruched detailing at the neckline also adds an extra flair and makes the shirt much more feminine.
I chose the black pencil skirt because it came with a simple belt that really emphasizes the waist and breaks up the torso from the legs. Pencil skirts, a classic choice for professional dress, are excellent for defining your figure and playing up your curves. It's also a great choice for this outfit because it hits at the knees and shows a respectable amount of leg.
I love the black pointy-toed Calvin Klein heels in this outfit! They are so classy and work great for elongating the legs even though they aren't nude pumps.
Going along with the classy look of the clothing in this outfit, I chose to accessorize with my pearls. I love how they just pull together the whole look and make me feel glamorous! I had to wear my bangles to add some sparkle. I like how the crystals in the bangle really shine and contrast the simplicity of the pearl bracelet. I'm really loving the bangle, pearl bracelet, bangle combo! I'm also wearing my filigree bracelet on the other arm because it's so little and dainty that it would just be covered entirely if I wore it on my arm with the bangles and pearl bracelet. If I don't want to clink and make noises throughout the day via the bangles, I would totally just wear the filigree bracelet.
Top it all off with a simple white cardigan and you're ready to go! I love how this cardigan has a cropped length so that it can pair very nicely with the pencil skirt.
I hope you enjoy this outfit! Let me know if you have any questions or have requests for more outfits like this one.

Hey everyone!
I wanted to show you what I wore to class today! Check out my video of this outfit on Youtube!
I chose a simple blue off-the-shoulder top because it is so soft and laid-back. It isn't too dressed up since all you're doing is attending class. Yet, it's still feminine and cute because it shows skin in a very classy way. Just showing a little bit of your shoulders is attractive, but in an appropriate way for the school setting. This top just says fun fashion when you are wearing it! I paired this top with plain black yoga pants because they are super comfortable and make it easier to get settled in your seat when you have to sit in class for hours. The black color and the tight fit of these pants make your legs look slimmer and balance off the slightly large top. This is such a staple piece for any wardrobe!
Earrings: PacSun Scarf: eBay Necklace: Gift Shirt: American Eagle Tank Top: Abercrombie & Fitch Pants: Old Navy Flats: Charlotte Russe
Of course, this outfit needs the perfect accessories to make it stand out. The pink-flowered scarf that I paired with this outfit is the main accessory that really makes this outfit pop. The color works well with the blue top since the white background of the scarf really makes the pink of the flowers add some brightness to this outfit. I also layered a pink tank top under my top to add an unexpected pop of color that adds to and enhances the effect of the scarf. I topped this all off with silver rhinestone flower earrings, a purple butterfly pendant, and a gold bracelet. My black bow flats added to the overall femininity of the outfit and helped to counterbalance the dark-colored clothing.
I hope you enjoy this outfit! I look forward to putting up more posts!
