Rusty Mondays

Happy Monday! 

Lately, I've been working on living everyday like it's Friday. Making sure that every single day counts! Often times we are so excited for Friday because it's the closest place of freedom, forgetting to value the rest of the days. 

Thinking this way helped me a lot. Your life will never change if you don't change your vision! I changed the way I saw/thought about things and I received a lot of positive results. 

• If you see yourself as weak, you will get negative results
• If you see yourself as strong, you will be able to do so many things! 
• If you see yourself accomplishing your dreams, they will come true!
• If you see yourself as blessed, you will be blessed!

I took this aspect into my work style, especially on Mondays! After the weekend would come to an end, I dreaded Mondays! I would literally roll out of bed, brush my teeth, shower and put on anything! Now, I try to do simple make up, fix my hair and put on a nice outfit (daily). 

Today, I chose to wear this rust colored dress. Since it's such a bold color, I toned it down with black. This dress was a steal! It was originally $109.95 and you will never guess how much I got it for.... $25! I also added these fringed heels just because they are my favorites!

Wear it, Style it, Repeat it: Orange and Cream

I'm Hi Loves, 

Lately, I've been practicing maximizing my work wardrobe, with hopes of saving a little extra cash. Since most of my funds are hanging in my closet, I began wearing, styling and repeating items in a unique way each time. 

If you are in need of inspiration of getting more wear out of your clothes, you've come to the right place! Nothing like a good ole closet diet!

Whenever I wear this orange and cream colorblocked dress, I tend to take long getting dressed....only because so many ideas come to mind for shoes and accessories.

Today I have provided the same outfit, but 3 different ways! For these outfits, the shoes and accessories had to be a "Match-Made-In-Heaven!" I started with the dress, then added shoes, a blazer, and of course, the finishing touches, the accessories.

Style Crush: Emily B - Print Shirt & Blue Skirt

Hi Ladies!

Thanks to Emily B, after 3 years, I'm still rocking my favorite outfit inspired by her to work!


 

 What Emily Wore:

Top Printed wrap shirt | Bottom Waistband pencil skirt | Shoes Christian Louboutin Duvette Pumps

 

Emily B, like myself is very curvy, which is why we tend to go for form-fitting clothing. Sometimes, when you have a curvy body, certain fits make us appear larger than we actually are. This blue skirt is perfect for our curves!

Like Emily B, I have a thing for shoes! She loves them so much that she recently became a shoe designer (How cool is that!). When you love shoes, you know that the perfect pair will embellish your look!

 

 

To separate the printed top from the bright, solid bottom, I added a belt that I got from Express (on an old dress).

 

 

Emily chose Christian Louboutin Duvette Pumps, while I stayed with my budget with my favorite Steven Madden beauties! 

 

What I Wore:

Top Ann Taylor | Bottom Bebe | Shoes Steve Madden
