You're the Tops

Never Phased Top | Horoscoping it Out Tee | Navy Endless Possibilities Tunic

Grey Endless Possibilities Tunic | Navy Yours Chill the End Top | Dots Endless Possibilities Tunic 

I am in need of some new tops and being a plus-size girl I am extremely weary about ordering clothes online (I'm pretty sure I've shared this before). But I've heard really good things about Mod Cloth's plus-size options.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to try one of the Endless Possibilities Tunic. . . I hoping for a sale soon.

Beach Ready

It has been horribly hot this past week (and its only going to get hotter), so hot that I have even begun to consider a bikini. . .  It won't be pretty, but a girl can dream or at least put together a mood board.

I call this Stevie Nicks Goes to the Beach with a Donut.

Dress Up: Holiday Parties 3 & 4

Faux Fur Jacket | Ninah Studded Pumps

Split Neck Sheath Dress | Oversized Staple Studs | Twisted Knot Studs

Reliably Refined Necklace | Velvet Clutch

 

Just because sometimes a holiday party requires you dress-up a bit, doesn't mean you can't have fun (faux fur anyone?) while keeping it classy.

 

 

Edit Metallic Skirt | Layered Geo Pendant Necklace

Reuniting with Friends Heel in Black

V-neck T-shirt | Sequin-embroidered Wallet

And then sometimes you just want to shine while at a Christmas dinner with your friends.

Dress Up: Holiday Parties 1 & 2

Just Be Claus Sweater | Treggings

Jingle All the Way Bracelet

Studdingly Beautiful Wristlet | Ballet Flats

 

Break out the Christmas sweater and jingle bell bracelet for a holiday brunch or work luncheon.

 

Disc Factor Dangle Earrings | Jersey Dress

Bria Diamond Cut Clutch

En Pointelle Infinity Scarf | Quite the Paragon Heel

 

Keep it casual and fun for the office holiday happy hour. . . and take it easy on the eggnog.

 

Cute Dresses Make Cute Costumes

 

Wild Cat: Dress | Kitty Ears 

Panda: Hat | Dress

 

Pair an animal print dress with a pair of rhinestone cat ears and call yourself a cheetah, just don't call yourself a cheetah girl. . .  Staying on the animal train, add a super cute panda cap to a super cute white dress with black accents and you're a cuddly panda bear!

 

Maid: Apron | Dress

Prom Queen: Dress | Crown | Sash

 

Wear a cute black dress with a little white tea apron and carry a feather duster, boom - you're a cute maid (or add a pair of fishnets and you're a sexy maid).

 

Get in on a little Carrie action (pre-blood bath), wear a vintage style dress, a sparkly crown and a prom queen sash.

 

Cat Lady: Dress | Cat 1 | Cat 2 | Cat 3 | Shoes

 

I saved the best for last. . . The Crazy Cat Lady! All you need is a kitty print dress, a pair of adorable kitty shoes and Fluffy, Skittles and Lola to carry around for the evening!

Dress-Up: Summer's Last Stand

clothing

Swing Sleeveless Blouse | Denim Shorts  

 

accessories  (head to toe)

Small Black Hoop Earrings | Jack & Norma Glasses

Just Follow Me Necklace | Hobby Shop Tour Bag  

Multi Color Seedbead Bracelet Set | Woodstock Tan Slide Sandal     

Playing Dress Up

 

The urge to wear all black has been a bit stronger as of late. . . I blame Lorde and all those scary shows that give me nightmares. 

 

Pleated Front Dress | Shoulder Bag

Triangle Faux Gemstone Studs | Overlap Studs

Twisted Metal Cuff | Fudge from the Fair Flats

 

Long Dress | D-Frame Sunglasses

Stamped Anchor Ring | 2 Pairs Earrings

Classic Structured Crossbody | Shauna Huarache Sandal

 

 I like to call these looks "I was a 90's teenager" or "I watched The Craft one too many times". The rest of the week's postings won't be as dark, I promise. But let's be honest, you really can't watch The Craft too many times, it just isn't possible.

Pretending It Is Winter

 

Lovedrobe PU Zip Detail Jacket | Envelope Handbag

Chloe Ankle Grazer Skinny Jeans

Lace Sleeve Sweat Top | Sole Diva Low Cowboy Boot

Playing Tourist

 

dress | camera | sunnies | bracelet | tote | shoes

 

One of the things I love about living in south Florida is that you can always play tourist without having to leave your back yard.

 

One In Every Color

 

I found these dresses at Target and fell in love.  They are the perfect summer dress. . . cute, light weight, easy to dress up or down. . . oh, and they have pockets!

 

I've tried on the black, white and teal one and the denim and patterned one and loved them both, but I have it in my head that I want the mint and navy with polka dots one. . . I just haven't been able to find it in my size yet.  Not to worry, I have no problem checking every Target in a 20 mile radius.

 

And let's be honest, in the end I will most likely spurge on more than one of them.

Dressing for St. Patty's Day without Looking Like a Leprechaun

 

Come March 17th it is always very tempting to grab every piece of green clothing you own or slap on a "Kiss Me I'm Irish" t-shirt (or worse, a "Kiss Me I'm Not Really Irish" t-shirt).  And now I'm asking you, unless you are going to a frat party, please don't do it!

 

There are plenty of ways to look festive with dressing like a leprechaun.  All you need really need is one key green piece and you are good to go.

Outfit options above:
1. Short-Sleeve Henley Top in Mangrove Green | Leather Effect Leggings
2. Foil Print Dress in Green
3. Santorini Blouse in White | Boyfriend Skinny Khaki in Imperial Jade
4. Sleeveless Tank Dress in Mangrove Green |
5. Plain Linen Mix Camisole | Chloe Ankle Grazer Jean in Teal

Fall Style

With Labor Day being the unofficial last day of summer I thought it only fitting to start out fall with a new style post.
