Feeling Fresh with NY and Co.!

The saying less is more is a statement that I try to follow through all parts of my life.  Whether it comes to trying to not eat a large pizza alone or attempting to do a smokey eye and it looks like I am part of the Walking Dead zombie cast.

This especially comes more into play in terms of my wardrobe.  I definitely would not classify myself as a minimalist, but I do try to keep a routine of when I purchase a new dress, accessory, or shoe that means that one or more needs to filter out. Not just putting it in a bin and up to the attic it goes more like consigning them, selling on Poshmark, or donating to an amazing cause like Dress for Success.  As we all know life can get in the way sometimes of this what feels like an amazing routine so I have been getting into the mode of purchasing pieces that have a unique touch, but can be paired with more than just one item in my closet.

Pants, NY & Co. under $50 | Shoes, Steve Madden Outlets, under $30

That is where these black ankle pants from New York and Co. comes into play! What I love about this pant is that it picks up so many colors from the detail in the calf of red, white, blue, green, and pink that it can pair perfect with your basic white tee or dressed up with a red blouse like I have pictured! Even if your wardrobe has more of a neuteral color scheme and you want to turn it up a notch without going too far outside your comfort zone this is perfect for you. So I don’t think I will be taking this pant out of the rotation any time soon! Keep scrolling to check out these other pieces that I spotted online that are classic looks with a bit of unique detail for full versatility.

The must have dress for your closet!

Anyone else wanting to wear their pajamas in public this week? I must be feeling some type of seasonal fashion depression as of late with the weather going from hello two piece bathing suit weather to ok where is my parka it is -12 outside.  So how does one stock their closet for these tricks mother nature is pulling on us? Transitional dresses are the answer!

Now when it comes to purchasing transitional dresses what matters the most in my opinion is the material, fit, and print.  This does sound like a no brainer, but purchasing dresses without some of these specific details may leave you in the cold or having pit stains that almost reach down to your waistline…been there…seriously…not fun.  My go to transitional dress this season has been this very light knit, long sleeve, cross chested dress by Who What Wear from Target.  Ok, I have to confess I am pretty sure I have an obsession with this brand, but I mean come on their prices are on point and they have a variety of sizes for all of their pieces!

This dress is perfect because if the weather is a bit warmer this can be worn with bare legs, open toed heels, and you can skip the jacket.  If it is more on the cooler side you can pair this dress with tights, ankle boots, and a leather motto jacket.  If you feel like a mix of both you can even style it how I pictured here with bare legs, ankle boots, and no jacket!

Purse, TJ Maxx, under $40 | Booties, ASOS, undr $50
Earrings, Francesca’s, under $30

The material has the perfect amount of stretch to it and with that little bit of sparkle can give you the total glam vibes by adding simple accessories. This dress was under $50 and you can buy it online as well.  I also included a couple of other great transitional dresses from the Who What Wear collection with links to shop!

Valetine’s Day Look from Eloquii!

Some people enjoy jumping out of airplanes, swimming with sharks, fire dancing, and other death defying activities.  Although I do have an adventurous side to me sometimes I like to just get down to basics with getting risky.  Like when you receive that heart shaped box on Valentine’s Day filled with mystery chocolate. Have you ever just started eating them without looking on the back to see which is what?  Well, my friends if you want to start living on the edge you just need to dive right in! Oh hello carmel, good day coconut cream, pleasantries strawberry tasting something. I could keep going, but I may either start to annoy you or start your craving for chocolate.

Not only with the chocolates this week, but I also dived into the website Eloquii, which is an online store for sizes 12+! Now with online shopping at times it can be a bit overwhelming with so many options, but sometimes as you skim through pages upon pages of fabulousness there is always that one piece that catches your eye.  This little piece was this light blue shift dress with branch like designs that also has these adorable ladybugs on it, so cute!

Now I know that shades of red and pink are a typical Valentine’s Day go to, but I love the pops of red this dress has and how you can pair it with accessories that pick up these accents.  Like these beaded tassel earrings I picked up from Francesca’s for under $30.  Can I get a praisehands emoji, woot woot! If you are not much of an accessory kind of gal then pairing a red clutch is the perfect way to complete this look too. The best part about this dress is that there is no need to accessorize much since it has such statement details like the neckline and sleeves, less is more in this case!
