Black Tank Dress + 8 Classic Pendant Necklaces

So excited to share this outfit post because…well…aside from the fact that I never wear dresses… I found one dress from the Nordstroms website that I am obsessed with. It’s one item I have had my eye for a while now and I finally decided to take the plunge! I saw a girl on Pinterest wearing the exact same dress, with similar accessories and I was totally inspired to recreate this look. Love how this outfit turned out with all the mix of different neutrals. Since I bought this dress online I was real worried about the fit. I’m always real hesitant when it comes to buying clothing online, especially when it comes to dresses. Right when I put this on, it felt like it had been tailored for my body. It’s very figure flattering but sill simple enough to dress it up or down. You could easily layer this in the winter time like I did or just add some fun heels for a night out. Definitely a new staple piece in my wardrobe.

Shop the Look:

Dress: Nordstroms (exact) —- comes in 7 colors

Cardigan: Target (similar) (another option)

Boots: Target (similar)(lighter option) (splurge option)

Necklace: Stella & Dot (exact)—comes in silver & rose gold

To give you a better idea how this dress fits I am 5’3 & 1/2 ( and yes the half inch counts) and I’m curvy.So in most stores I typically wear a size 8. I am wearing a size medium in this dress and it fits perfectly. It’s tight enough in all the right places and the material is thick enough so it’s doesn’t look see through at all.

To add to this look I added my favorite pendant necklace from Stella & Dot. It’s one of those classic pieces that goes with just about everything. Below I added a few similar long pendant necklaces equally as chic that range in price from $12 to $120.

All links to shop are below.

1. Vince Camuto Long Tassel Pendant

2.Kendra Scott Phara Tassel Necklace

3. Textured Long Bar Necklace —in Rose Gold

4.Kendra Scott Aiden Pendant—-comes in 4 different metals

6. Stone Pendant Necklace

3 Dressy Casual Valentine’s Day Outfit Ideas + 12 Valentines Graphic Tees

 

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner I wanted to put together a few dressy casual looks that are perfect for however your celebrating this year. I used a lot of basics to keep these outfits simple but still interchangeable with a few pops of color. Because of the crazy weather we are having with the cold, wind and crazy humidity I had to do mirror outfit selfies for this one.

In addition to these looks are some fun graphic tees that are perfect for Valentines day. All the links to shop are below.

 

Look #1

Shop the Look:
Blouse: Target (similar) (another option) (similar top)
Jeans: Target (similar pair)
Shoes: Pay less---very old (similar pair)
Clutch: Stella & Dot (same)
Necklace: Kendra Scott (exact)

Date night Outfit– Black skinny’s with a simple black top paired with a pop of red for the shoe. If you can’t tell from all these looks I love wearing black, so this head to toe black look might just be my favorite.

To Amp up the Look: For this crazy weather another option to make this outfit a little warmer would be to add a fur vest.— I don’t have one at the moment, but it’s defiantly on my wish list.

Look #2

Shop the Look:
Top: Old Navy (exact)
Jeans: Gap--old (similar pair)
Boots: Kohls--old (similar pair) (cuter option)
Necklace: Stella & Dot (same)--comes in silver & rose gold
Bracelet: Kendra Scott (similar)
Purse: Stella & Dot (similar)---also comes in brown

Drinks with the Girls Outfit– Simple print top with jeans paired with a mix of neutrals. I love mixing black and brown together, but if that’s not your taste keeping them the same would still work. Both boot options and totes come in brown and black.

 

Look #3

Shop the Look:
Tank Top: Local Boutique (same)(similar option)
Cardigan: H&M (exact)----comes in 4 colors
Jeans: Gap--old (similar pair)
Boots: Chinese Laundry--old (similar pair)
Bracelet: Kendra Scott (similar)
Necklace: Kendra Scott (exact)

Comfy Low Key Outfit– This is defiantly my speed right here. I am all about keeping it comfy. Easy stretchy jeans with a long knit cardigan with flat boots. Obsessed with this tank top because it’s not clingy at all, so it is very flattering and easy to layer.

 

Fun Graphic Tees

1.Gray & Black Heart Sweater
2.Red with White Hearts on sleeves
3.Pizza is my Valentine Tee
4."Love" Heart Long Sleeve Tee
5.Always Tee 
6. Kisses Tee
7. Heart on Your Sleeve Top
8. White Long Heart Top
9. White Top With Red Heart
10. Single Heart White Long sleeve top
11. Red "Be Mine" Tee
12. Buffalo Plaid Heart Shirt

 

All the tops above I would wear in a heartbeat (lol OK lame pun I know but I would). I love having a t-shirt for every holiday or occasion or mood for that matter. I actually just ordered the buffalo plaid heart T-shirt for myself (of course the one that has the most black in it)

I always love celebrating Valentines day because it was the day my husband proposed 6 years ago, so it’s always a very sentimental day for the both of us. Let me know which look was your favorite and how your celebrating V day this year. 🙂

Outfit: Navy, Gray & Black

It’s finally December and it’s still warm outside, well cool in the mornings and warm in the afternoons. So I wanted to put together a kind of transitional outfit for this crazy weather we are having. To transition this look to the afternoon, just switch the boots for some comfy flats and lose the vest. This is one my favorite outfit combinations for fall, a long vest over a top with leggings and boots. I’m going to be honest the top is not as long as I would like, but I loved the color combination of the navy plaid with the gray vest. Like most of my looks this one is very simple, easy, and a perfect casual fall outfit. 🙂

::Outfit Details::
Top: Target (exact,similar option)
Vest:Very old (similar option) (another option)
Leggings:BCBG (similar pair)
Boots:Target (similar, another option)
Necklace: Stella & Dot (exact)
Bracelet: Kendra Scott (same style in rose gold)
Ring:Initial “m” ring (same)

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Happy Wednesday!!

As Mother’s day quickly approaches I wanted to put together some cute gift ideas, for all the mom’s out there. Now that I am a mom myself, mother’s day has taking on a whole new meaning. Typically I would love to do a bunch of fun things with my family on that day, but this year all I truly want is a long, and relaxing… nap. 🙂 I know I am not alone with this, I think all the mommies out there know how valuable sleep becomes after you have a children. So any added gifts that day will be icing on the cake.

In my little gift guide, I included some sentimental pieces, as well as some fun girlie gift ideas. I included my favorites from makeup, perfume, and an engravable charm that I bought for both my mother and mother in-law. I’m also very partial to the James Avery initial ring because I have it with my daughter’s initial “M” and I wear it everyday. 🙂

 Enough rambling, onto more important things, the shopping

1.Rose Gold Glitter Phone Case

2. James Avery Initial Ring

3. Make up Bag

Outfit: Date Night

Nothing like a fun date night with the hubby to break in a new pair of heels. I’m a little obsessed with these!! I bought them on sale at a local boutique and now I want them in every color. Here is a link to the exact pair. They come in seven different shades (mine are in the shade “dark camel”). These heels are definitely far from my everyday flats and sneakers. When your day consists of chasing after a two year old, flats are your friend.
This top that I wore is from TJ Maxx and I bought months ago, but here is a link to a very similar version that I found from Zappos. My jeans are “my go to jeans” from Target that I got months back but here is a similar pair in a lighter wash. I wore this look with my favorite Stella & Dot pieces, the Arc necklace and the Renegade bracelet. I wear these two pieces almost everyday. They match just about everything. I also added my Kate Spade bracelet (here is a similar version) that I got for Christmas a couple years back. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!
