Any Given Tuesday

Yes, I love to dress “up”. On any given day you will find me in jeans and heels. This particular Tuesday, even though I had nowhere special to go; but the bank and then grocery store, I decided it was a day worth looking great for. Besides, it’s like choosing to use your fine china a little more often than just those incredibly special occasions!

You’ve heard me talk about fabric before and this top is no exception. Another 100% silk piece. This one is by Diane von Furstenberg and it was from Bloomingdales in San Francisco about five years ago! I’m telling you, get the good stuff once in a while, take care of it, and you will be loving it for YEARS to come! I LOVE the unusual details on this piece….from the gathered sleeve and waistbands to the super flowy drape of the arms and back. Although, I have to say, I’m currently loving this little pink number for summer and think a bold statement necklace will look GREAT with it! DVF

It’s the unexpected flair paired with these Rag & Bone Boyfriend Denim that I think is the perfect way to Level Up your look, just ‘cuz you wanna. (shop that look here: Rag & Bone)

The Heels were purchased at good ‘ol Marshalls; but they are Ivanka Trump. What I loved is the grey and snakeskin combination, and I actually can handle rockin’ these pumps an entire day. These are an older style; but you can check out her new styles on Amazon (and if you are a Prime Member, you can have them in TWO DAYS!)…check out these awesome full Cage Booties. SO CUTE!

So no matter where you go today, make your Method to getting dressed all about capitalizing on how you are feeling, because what you put out there is what you get back ladies! And if you aren’t feeling your best, get yourself dressed, make up on and hair did….and “fake it til you make it”! Don’t be afraid to look great and feel great at the same time….when you do, you walk taller, smile more, and guess what….you are just naturally spreading your joy around and that is a GOOD thing! Plus, when you do this, and greet the world with your head held high, you will naturally look people in the eyes, likely be smiling, and I promise you, they will smile back. It’s contagious like yawning; but only better!

Beauty is in the Details

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

(I’m also a huge fan of Nanette Lapore…)

My Method when choosing this dress to purchase was:

  1. 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.
  2. It was a bit of a splurge; but it was worth it. Silk is just amazing.
  3. 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

Hope you had a very Happy Easter!
