OOTN: My Favorite Dress

What I Wore: [Dress: Vintage, Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Belt: Forever 21, Bag: Dooney & Bourke, Lips: M.A.C lipglass “Just Add Colour”]

You know that piece of clothing you have that just instantly makes you feel like a superstar whenever you put it on? It fits perfectly, encapsulates your personal style, and gives you the confidence to take on just about any situation? Well, this is that dress for me. I found this piece hanging on a rack in the most fabulous vintage store in San Francisco’s Haight a few summers ago when I was visiting my brother and sister-in-law. Right away I knew that if this dress fit than I would pay whatever it cost, a big statement for a bargain hunter like myself, to have it in my wardrobe. Luckily for me, it fits like a glove and since it’s induction into my closet has become somewhat of a signature piece for me. I know I will be wearing this dress for years to come because of it’s classic cut, pattern, and color scheme that makes it timeless and able to be paired with just about any bag, shoe, or other accessory. 

Hope you all are enjoying your last few weeks/days of summer, I know I can’t wait to break out my sweaters, boots, and tights for the soon approaching fall weather! 

Until next time,

"You Look Like Liberace!"

What I Wore: [Jacket: Duro Olowu for JCPenny, Top: Mango, Skirt: Forever 21, Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Lips: Mac “Vegas Volt”]

So when I was shopping the other day and just wandering around JC Penny, not expecting to purchase anything, I saw a glimmer of gold and turquoise….and being the magpie that I am I ran over and fell instantly in love with this ridiculous jacket. The jacket was on sale for less than half the original price and even though it’s not practical in the slightest way I somehow justified buying it. Why be subtle, right? 

I paired the jacket with a simple outfit underneath, a pleated skirt and dressier sleeveless top and then kept my shoes nice and classic by opting for a patent black slingback. Hopefully, I’ll find more opportunities to wear this in the future because there is nothing like metallic gold to make one feel ultimately fabulous :)

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

OOTN: Lady Like

What I Wore [Top: H&M, Belt: Betsey Johnson, Skirt: Vintage, Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Bag: Michael Kors, Lipstick: Revlon “Really Red”, Nails: OPI “Colour So Hot It Berns”]

On Saturday night I went to go see one of my most favorite bands, Blind Pilot, play downtown in Portland. The venue was a bit fancier than most concert venues so I took the opportunity to dress up (but then again when don’t I take the chance to dress up). I love everything about this outfit, flattering, comfortable, and classic while still modern.

Also, a quick apology for the lack of posts these last few weeks! I’m closing in on finals week so there is done to be done in terms of school  along with making time to enjoy my last few weeks with all my friends before I head back home for the summer. Thanks for sticking with me!
