Pretty Details

 

Good afternoon everyone! I'm comin' at ya with a quick post. As I got dressed this morning, I could hear the rain pouring outside. I knew it would be a cold, dreary day, so I wanted to make things a little prettier with my clothing. Simple details like a silky bow on a plain black t-shirt instantly up the cuteness factor, as do studded bangles and a made for Spring flower pin in your hair!

What do YOU do to "pretty up" your outfit?

Also check out the first item in my new HLD Fashion Shop! I have never done something like this before, so it's a cool new little addition to my blog. Hopefully once more "stock" comes in from the wonders of my closet, you guys will be finding some treasures! The store is linked below:

Golden Girls

I just wanted to do a quick post for you all this morning before I head off to work!
Outfit details: Shirt from Sirens (which I purchased last year but wearing for the first time today!), Gifted necklace & bracelet (but you can see it's Guess anyway), and not pictured: Pashu skinny jeans (yeah you saw that one comin'), andddd... I'm undecided on my shoes!

I'm thinking those boots again? Or maybe flats. I haven't worn flats in a while.

I woke up bright & early this morning to complete a 20 minute interval work out on the treadmill. Note: I bought new runners, so that's coming up in another post. There's something about running in the morning that just wakes you up and starts your day off right, I find.

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL day, no matter what you're doing!

Question of the day (should I start doing this?)

No, that wasn't the question. Sorry to jump the gun there.

How do you start your morning on the right foot?

Ladylike

1. Quilted clutch, Forever 21, $24.80

2. Puff sleeve dress, Forever 21, $22.80

3. Silver and pearl bracelets, Forever 21, $10.80

4. Nude patent oxfords, Forever 21, $17.80

5. Sheer floral tunic, Forever 21, $17.80

As I was browsing one of my favourite (and affordable!) websites, I got an idea for a blog post. All of these items are so lady like and so perfect for the upcoming spring season. Although spring is calling for neutrals and a minimal approach when it comes to colours, the nude oxfords and feminine bracelets can accessorize anything and bring a personal twist to those neutral hues. I especially like the quilted purse - it will fill the void of a designer quilted purse, until that day comes! In addition, the puff sleeve dress would look good with any of these items. Accessorize it with the casual oxfords and a cardigan for day, then slip on a pair of strappy heels and pile on the bracelets for some added evening glamour. All of this online browsing is making me want to shop!
