Good Morning readers, I decided to be bold and out try out this pencil skirt and cropped top trend that Abbey of District Dress Up recommended to me.  You all know I love a good cropped top and maxi skirt combo, but I’ve never tried it with a fitted bottom before.  I was hesitant at first because I felt a little too sexy, but then I realized there is no shame in a tasteful eye-catching look.  I’m not gonna lie though… my grandmother does read my blog each morning and this look probably won’t be her favorite, but I know deep down she’s thinking, “Well, I wish I could still wear something like that.” So ladies, I urge to step out of your comfort zone and try something fun and sexy.  Yes, I said it, sexy.  Rock those slightly scandalous outfits while you still can! Let’s bring sexy back!  Just remember to keep your looks somewhat modest to avoid attracting the wrong the kind of attention.

Tips for looking sexy without getting out of control:

1) Choose a bold colored handbag or statement necklace to keep the focus on your accessories.

2) If you’re wearing a fitted pencil skirt with a cropped top like I did, make sure that the length of skirt reaches at least to your knees if not longer. Also, do not wear any low cut tops if you’re showing your midriff. You don’t want to show too much skin.

3) If you’re not a fan of showing a lot of skin, you can still try this look by wearing a sleeveless fitted top that you can tuck into the skirt.  You can also switch the pieces up.  You can wear the solid color on bottom and a print on top.  I definitely recommend incorporating a print or bright color so that people will immediately be drawn to the fun pattern of the outfit instead of your body.

4) Lastly, if you’re thicker on the bottom and don’t feel comfortable in a pencil skirt, trying wearing a flared out A-line skirt with a cropped top. It’s still just as fun and sexy!  Well, maybe a little more fun than sexy, but it’s still a fabulous look!

P.S. I’m so excited for tonight’s event with Pret-a-Porter and Reagan Charleston Design at the L’auberge in Baton Rouge.  Krystal of A Pinch of Lovely and I will be co-hosting the event. Speaking of the Pret-a-Porter, the winner of the show ticket and linen dress giveaway has already been notified by email.

Good Morning readers, how fabulous are these floral shorts from Candy Apple!  They’re so fun and flirty for the summer especially with the ruffle detail on the sides.

For this look, I paired the shorts with a graphic designer tee to maintain the playful quirky look of the floral bottoms. Then I added the colorful statement necklace and mint studded clutch to pull out some of the colors in the pattern of the shorts. Lastly, I added plenty of wrist candy and actually tried two different options for shoes.  First, I tried my mint Dee Keller wedges and then I tried my nude ankle strap heels. The mint wedges definitely maintained the fun and colorful vibe of the outfit, but I think I preferred the toned-down look of the nude ankle strap heels.  What do you think?

Good Morning readers, see I told you that you’d be seeing the denim vest again!  For this outfit, I added the denim vest and braided belt to help break up the whole white monochromatic look.  What do you think? Would you wear this out?  I’m sorry that I haven’t been writing much, but I’m still sick so you have to forgive me!

P.S. I hope you’re not over the vest yet because you’re still going to see it one more time tomorrow!  Well…maybe two more times!

Have a great day!

14 Ways to Style an LBD

November 14, 2012

You know those mornings when you roll out of bed and have no idea what to wear to work, or those Friday nights when nothing in your closet seems to fit right? How about that statement necklace that you’ve been dying to wear, but it doesn’t match with anything in your closet? Those frustrating times don’t call for Plan B. They call for a clever little tactic I like to call Plan LBD, also known as “little black dress.”

Every woman should own a little black dress. They help avoid those unwanted “outfit meltdowns.” I bet most of you think that in the fashion world, LBD only stands for “little black dress.” But it also stands for “limit bad days.” A little black dress always does the trick. Not only are little black dresses classy and slimming, but they also go with everything in your closet. And to prove its versatility, I have come up with 14 ways to help limit bad days. Prepare to be amazed as I style this simple little black dress 14 ways.

1) Show your inner animal with some cheetah print pumps and tone them down with a neutral-colored blazer.

2) Pull out the colors in printed scarves with bright-colored shoes.

3) Accentuate your curves with a waist belt wrapped around your entire outfit.

4) Look fierce and glamorous in faux fur vest and knee high boots!

5) Break out that gorgeous statement necklace you’ve been dying to wear and accent it with some gold cap-toe pumps.

6) You’ll look feminine and sassy in hot pink blazer and nude pumps.

7)  Stay warm and cozy in a printed waterfall cardigan with knee-high boots and knit beret.

8) Look perfect and polished for work in minimal black and white.

9) Accessorize with vibrant-colored scarves and jewelry. Keep the rest of the outfit simple with black or taupe booties.

10)  Feel effortlessly cool and casual with a sleeveless open cardigan and peep-toe ankle boots.

11) Sparkle and shine at upcoming holiday parties with a sequin blazer.

12) Rock a leather jacket and strappy black heels for that cool biker chic look.

13 & 14)  Go for fun and casual with some leopard loafers and a boyfriend blazer or try a pair of gold snake loafers with a skinny waist belt.
