A Hit and a Miss

Do you want the good news or bad news first? I'm going to give you the bad...

 I bought this beautiful dress. I LOVE IT!! But it just was the tiniest bit too snug in the shoulders. I thought about keeping it as a goal dress but decided to just return it. There will other fabulous dresses right?? Right??!!!! This one was a miss. (The photo really doesn't do it justice)

On to the good news! These shoes... I mean, do I even need words? Here are a few: gorgeous, sexy, fun, colorful, perfection. Need I say more? Obviously these are a hit.

Dress and Shoes: Merona via Target

Day 1: Shop your Closet Challenge

The first assignment of the Shop your Closet challenge was to choose 5 of our favorite pieces of clothing and 5 accessories (shoes, jewelry, scarves, etc.) Here are my pieces:

Blouse: (old) via Walmart // Skirt: via Lane Bryant // Dress: via Target

 

Skirt: via JC Penney // Sweater: via New York & Co

 

Bow Heels: via Marshalls // Leopard Flats: via New York & Co //Black Shooties: via TJ Maxx // Necklace: via Catos // Earrings: via Beall's Outlet

 

The purpose of this assignment is to have pieces ready to go for tomorrow. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!!

 

What do you think of my choices?

Gray Leopard Blouse, Skinny Jeans, and Magenta Accents

 

We had absolutely gorgeous weather over the weekend. Chilly at night and in the morning, then warming up a bit during the day. No clouds in the sky at all... Perfect for some photos outside.

 

This leopard blouse is one of my go-to pieces. It's nice tucked in with a skirt as I wore it here and great worn un-tucked with skinny jeans. I really love gray and magenta together so I added some color to the look with a cardigan and some flats. I wish I had a colorful necklace but I think the black worked well. And of course, there had to be a bit of sparkle with my earrings and bow ring.
