Hello all! 

I hope you are doing well! 

Today I am continuing my project of going through my closet. Today, I'm sharing another keeper -my favorite maxi dress! I have worn this a few times to different events and I fall in love with it every time! I feel like I say that a lot, but its true! 

This dress always rises to the occasion. Its fun, effortless, a perfect summery dress. I'm torn between what I love more, the design or the color/print. I love the cut out in the back! That detail, while subtle, adds such additional dimension to the dress. A fun surprise you may not see coming. The only thing I dislike about it is, it makes it very hard to wear a bra with it. Some people can go without a bra and its no big deal. For me, its more of a big deal >D. I have tried multiple different things to avoid a bra strap showing. The best I could find was the backless bras that you basically tape onto you. They worked... okay. They served their purpose when I needed them. Thankfully the few times I have used them it was for shorter events.

If anyone has any other suggestions of what I could use instead, please let me know! 

I was also drawn to was the color/print. The white and blue print against the brown is versatile! They mesh perfectly together and also create a great summer look. Whether you dress it up for a night out or down for a casual day date, or errands. There are so many possibilities for how to wear this! 

This dress will definitely be sticking around for a while longer! 

Thanks for reading!

Happy Friday my friends! 

So, I decided after my last post that I was going to begin a project where I restyled everything in my closet. I would post about each piece and the things that didn't fit, or happened to be damaged, or even if I just did not care about them very much anymore, I would get rid of. Yes, it will definitely be a long project, but I really want to edit some of what I have in my closet. Of course, prior to deciding to begin this project, I had ordered four dresses online and just received them this week. So, I may have to spend a few posts sharing them with you, but we will see! 

This is my first post of the project! This dress has been one of my favorites for a long time! It has seen me through several birthdays, fashion shows, and parties. I like to think of it as a little black dress with splashes of color. What I really love about it is how fitted it is. Once it on, its not going to move. Some strapless pieces I feel like I am constantly tugging at or pulling up. Not this one! This dress stays in place and even adds a little additional support in the chest area. Another thing I love about it, is there is a little bit of roughing on right side of it. It is a small, subtle detail but it gives it so much extra character in my opinion! 

I've worn it several different ways. Simply just as a strapless dress with maybe a small necklace and I've worn it with a jean jacket over it for a more casual look. Today I decided to pair it with a statement necklace. I do like it, I'm not sure if it is my favorite look, but it certainly gives it a more powerful feel. It almost looks as thought the necklace is part  of the dress. I'm not sure how often I would wear it this way, but it is fun to play around and create these new looks with old pieces. 

I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping this dress around for a bit longer! 

​Thank you for reading! Have a great weekend!

Hello and Happy Monday to you! 

I hope all of the Moms out there had a great Mother's day! Ours was very nice, low key, but that is how we like it! My dad made some AMAZING steaks! It was a great night! I'm very thankful for my mom! =) 

While the whole weekend was nice, we had some incredible rain that made getting blog pictures very tricky! But in between breaks of torrential downpours, I somehow managed to get a few in! For today's look, I broke out a pair of booties that I haven't worn in forever. Truth be told, they got pushed to the back of my closet and I had forgotten about them -I'm not proud of this!- but I was excited to find them again. I remember I got them back in October. They caught my eye right away because of the plaid pattern. It didn't take me long to think of several ways to wear them. How they got pushed to the back of my closet I have no idea, but finding them was joy! 

Immediately I began trying to style them. This particular look was one of the first to pop into my head. And I have to say, I really loved the outcome! It has a tough/structured feel to it while the trench vest adds a bit of softness/color. 

I feel certain you will be seeing these booties again soon! 

Thank you so much for reading!

Happy Friday!

Today I am sharing some dramatic pieces with you! 

This top, is one of my all time favorite pieces! I love how structured it is! It is well made and classic, and the high-low hem really makes it stand out! 

For a more casual look I paired it with denim shorts. But I could not resist a dramatic statement necklace to really complete the look! 

Thank you so much for reading and stay tuned for more styling!

Hello and Happy Monday all! 

With Spring in full swing, and the weather being so nice -well we had some pretty intense rainstorms this weekend- I just felt like stepping out in color today. 

I turned to one of my trusty pieces, the hot pink, jumpsuit from Versona! I remember when I got it, it was for a fashion show I ended up attending last minuet. I had some alternative ideas in mind but I really wanted to go check out Versona and at least see if anything really got my attention. I had not been in the store very long, when my eyes fell upon this piece! I tried it and fell pretty much in love right away! 

I have styled it with booties for an edgier look. and also with a trench vest and belt, for a softer yet very different look. Today, I am restyling it again, probably the most casual way yet. This denim jacket works so well with this jumpsuit, giving it a much more casual, spring-like feel. Date night? Absolutely! Throw on some sneakers and you have a great look for lunch dates, or running errands around town! 

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did! Thank you for reading!

Hey all! 

Happy Friday! 

I hope you have had a great week! For today's look I went a different route. Obviously strappy heels would make this look elegant and classy, but why go the obvious route? I was feeling particularly bad ass today, so I went with a more edgy look. It has a chic look all the same! I fell in love with it right away. And it perfectly fit my mood today! 

The skirt is one I have had for a while now, and I love it so much! It suits my mood every time I wear it! 

On a more personal note, sometimes I get really discouraged and have bad days. I sometimes feel like I'm failing but I have to keep reminding myself, I'm not! I'm pretty awesome actually. My good friend shared a personal poem with me that was so lovely! One line really spoke to me. That line is also the title of this blog. I'm not perfect for sure, but I like and am very okay with who I am.

Are you?

Thanks for reading!

Quoting one of my all time favorite Office quotes today!

Happy Monday all!

I hope your weekend was as good as mine! I had to work, but it was such an easy weekend that I didn't mind! And I woke up feeling so inspired and ready to go this morning. 

On my last post with Designer Diva showcasing our Target finds, I eyed a few pieces that really stuck with me! I ended up having to go back to purchase them! This top being one of them! I LOVE this top! There is a structured tulle piece on the inside of the shoulder of the sleeve to give it a little extra character -its hard to see in the picture, but in person it is noticeable! 

I also found this bag, which I don't believe was in my Target post, but it was stunning none the less. In fact it was one of those love at first sight moments! I loved the color, the size, the cross body design -everything! I was sold! 

Ironically enough, the main reason for going was to get a necklace -which of course is not in this particular post, but it will be in a future post!- And these two other pieces caught my eye! 

I hope you enjoy this post! Thank you for reading!

Happy Friday! 

Today I am sharing a pretty casual look with you. But mainly sharing my new denim jacket! I have been on the hunt for a new denim jacket for sometime and I finally found it! 

I had one before that I had found thrift shopping -got $20 in my pocket!- and I loved it a lot. But sadly the time came to say goodbye to it. Since then I have had trouble finding another as good as it. My mom and my sister both have jackets that I have envied -and borrowed a time or two! 

Then one afternoon, I decided to go to LOFT. It was really for a dress that I had seen on the site and loved, but when I got there I zeroed in on this jacket right away. I was sold on it, right away! And I have loved it since! 

I love how it was made with the cuffs already rolled up, so I don't have to keep rolling them up -which i had to with my previous jacket. I love the lighter blue of the denim. For me personally, I don't like the darker blue denim jackets. I have seen them styled well on others, but for me, this was the perfect look! In my opinion this particular color has more range. It can be paired/styled with a variety of different looks and gives them more a casual, effortless feel. 

I hope you like this look, and you can count on seeing it in future posts! 

Thank you for reading!

Hello! 

Happy Monday!  I hope you are all well! 

Saturday I met up with my blogging bestie -yup you guessed it! Designer Diva! We hit Target for a little retail therapy and round three of our Target collaboration posts! 

What I love about our outings at Target is that it really is therapeutic. We meander around the store, going towards whatever catches out eye. The whole time we are chatting or venting about our weeks, with a few; 'oh this is cute' 'Oh I love the colors!' 'This would be perfect with those yellow heels!' and/or 'that really looks like you!' thrown in here and there. 

And Target NEVER disappoints! 

Target always gives me inspiration. From various different prints, to yellow pumps, to small cross body bags in teal AND orange -seriously I don't know which I love more!- to a distressed denim, and a throwback Britney Spears t-shirt -these are some of my favorite finds at Target! 

This title is both literal and figurative. 

Today has been a challenge with the random rain showers, granted I thought it would be a complete wash out. Thankfully it wasn't.

I LOVE the bag! This is one of my most favorite things. It was designed by my friend V31 Designs. You may remember it from the feature in the latest The Loop Mag feature. I got to know such an creative and incredible lady, and got a chance to write a piece about her. 

The rest of the look, if I'm being honest, was based on the weather. It has rained off and on all day, and I caught a break, so I scrambled to create a look I'd be proud to post. And I am. I realize it is an odd combination. I see the colors don't clash as well, but I love how the pictures came out. I tried something different. Maybe you will like, hopefully you will. 

This may not make sense, but hey, life doesn't always make sense! So I hope you enjoy this post! Please enjoy this lovely piece by my friend, V31 Designs! She is an incredibly lady, with an incredibly eye for design! I can't wait to see much more from her!

Thanks for reading!
