When building your wardrobe, versatility is key. Not just in the beginning when you may be on a shoe string budget; but always! Being able to have a wardrobe that pairs well together 80% of the time is golden. Especially when spontaneous or unexpected events pop up. Learning how to find your Method to Style and building a wardrobe around it saves you time (both getting dressed AND in the stores) and money (because you shop with intention, not our of frustration). Girl, you’re about to look real gooooood!
I have to admit, I saw a woman wearing this shirt and I made a point to tell her how amazing it was and then promptly asked where she got it….’cause I had to have one! Hers was in a light blue/grey version; but I fell for this color combo. To me, how long this …
This was one of my favorite purchases from last summer….I went into the store wanting one thing, and came out with something the exact opposite! But the silk material, paired with the very cute and easy on the eyes pattern, as well as it’s pretty simple to accessorize, made it a winner for me! Here …
This was one of those outfits that I have had in my closet for a VERY long time but NEVER put it together! My Style Method here was to wear denim on denim; but it had to be different colors…I’ve yet to attempt blue on blue! And then one day, I had these red/coral jeans on …
This outfit I just loved….and all we were doing was taking the family to the mall to pick up one small thing and that was it; but any time out and about is worth showing up for, and the sun was DEFINATELY shining for the first time in a long time so I could not …
Whether you were headed to church or celebrating the day over brunch with family, everyone loves an opportunity to bring out the pretty dress and heels, and get a little bit shiny for the day. After all, Spring has Sprung and we just can’t help but to throw on a splash of color! This is one of my all time favorites pieces and it’s from All Saints….and I have great news…they are having a Spring SALE!! It’s 30% off In Store or Online and use the Promo Code: SPRING and your discount shows up at Checkout! Here’s the link to the Dresses; but there’s a ton more to shop: All Saints
My Method when choosing this dress to purchase was:
I was on a girls trip in Las Vegas and I was shopping with one of my BESTIES. She agreed it was a stunner and I loved her for saying that! I had never been in the All Saints STORE (just shopped the line in other department stores) and I just loved everything.
It was a bit of a splurge; but it was worth it. Silk is just amazing.
When looking for your wardrobe pieces, I think it is very important to find the interesting details that set it apart from all the other silk dresses out there. I personally love a dress with NO integrated waistline. I happen to prefer wearing a drop waist, which are hard to find at times, so when the waistline is already in the dress, that is an automatic no for me. This beauty has no waist line at all, yet the gorgeous gathering breaks up the streamlined sides. Fabric is key as well….not all fabrics will move and flow or lay properly when sewn in different directions so this dress in something more structured, even in cotton, would never have the same final effect as it does with silk. It’s an investment to purchase 100% silk pieces; but the lifespan of those items will be exponentially longer than most other fabrics simply because when cared for properly (dry clean only!) they never lose their shape, which means you will always love the way it looks on you. So do that one great piece at a time.

In addition to the super cool variated length at the bottom and side of the dress, it also has interesting sleeves and neckline. So there is a lot to look at, if you wanted to; but really, it’s just a beautiful flowy piece of fashion art, and I light up when I put it on. And while I’m not usually a fan of floral prints, this one feels more like a watercolor to me, so I was drawn to that.

And check it out…there’s those Payless Shoes again (see my previous post for the link)!! I also wear these Steve Madden heels seen here (These or these!) I found that high of a heel and that tiny strap over the toes was more for a mostly sitting occasion ;D VERY sexy, but not my walkin’ shoes, so the fun lace ups were paired with this and I actually really love it! A cutout bootie dresses this down a little bit.
My accessories are from my favorite designer at Stella & Dot. The Drape Necklace was one that came out earlier this year and I went GAGA over it. So darn pretty, all day long, yet I’ve worn it with a dress or knit tank top and jeans….really cool. Then my armparty is a combination of my gold Engraved Cuff, the Artisan Cuff, the Renegade Bracelet, and the Sawyer Stone Bracelet. Search all of those and so many more here: Stella & Dot
