Daily Outfit Post: Spring Games

Spring football games are a big tease to girls who live for college football Saturday's! This past Saturday was FSU's Garnet and Gold Spring Game and was filled with too much fun.  I got to tailgate with some of my favorite friends & I got to see a little preview of what our team will look like for next season, which will definitely be in the top 10 rankings :)

The way this outfit turned out sort of surprised me.  I got ready for the football festivities in about 5 minutes because I had to work earlier that morning.  I wanted something lightweight to wear as my top because it gets pretty hot in the stadium when you sit in the sun!  I have had the tan vest for the past year and I haven't worn it too much.  However, after wearing it on Saturday it might get some more wear!

Outfit:

Tan Vest: Old Navy

Tank Top: Loft

Always Skinny Jeans: Gap

Sandals: Bakers

Shades:.. my awesome roommate let me borrow hers!

GO NOLES! .. oh the garnet team won!

Daily Outfit Post: Orange Giraffe Prints

Happy Friday the 13th ladies!

Today was an extremely awesome day for me, even though it was "suppose" to be unlucky!  I found the perfect outfit while looking through my closet this morning.  Whenever I went home last weekend to visit my family, my mom wanted to get rid of some of her older dresses, so of course I scooped them up! I took 3 good dresses that will definitely get their wear.  

My favorite dress is the one I decided to wear today to work! It got so many compliments so I knew I had put together an awesome outfit, which is always good to hear!

My Outfit:

Giraffe Print Dress: Loft, couple of years old

Denim Jacket: Gap Outlet

Belt: Urban Outfitters

Shoes: Target

This outfit has 3 of my favorite all time pieces: Denim Jacket, Belt, & Shoes.  These three pieces can be worn many different ways so as a reader you might be seeing them a good bit in posts!  I don't know if you would still be able to find them in stores because I have had all three of these pieces for about 3 years now.  

Do you have any favorite pieces that you tend to wear multiple times?  If so, let me know!

Opening Day!

Guess what ladies..

It's Opening Day for the Atlanta Braves!

As a three month old girl, my parents took me there for my first vacation! Ever since then, I have loved going to sporting events, especially baseball games.  Singing take my out to the ball park, hearing the cracks of the baseball bats, & seeing cute guys in baseball pants; what more can you ask for?!

Dressing for baseball games are simple: You need the color scheme for the baseball team you are going to visit.  Then I would check the weather to see how that is going to factor into the game.  

For Braves game, I would suggest wearing a pair of denim shorts, a dressy top, sandals, & cute jewelry.  Games usually get hot from sitting out in the sun so you don't want to get to dressed up to only feel miserable.  For a Braves game, I would suggest a white top with denim jean shorts.  I would also bring a red or navy colored light weight cardigan and then a pair of red wedges or sandals!  

If you are more of a t-shirt girl to baseball games then try a Braves T-shirt then pair them with a white shorts.  I would also bring some top of cardigan just in case of the weather.  

Here are a few pictures of me at past Braves Baseball Games!

One of my best friends, Mary-Hannah, is an extremely large Atlanta Braves fan! She once was able to tell you every player, their position, & batting average.  When we went to Atlanta, we went to two games, for the first one I wore gray shorts & a Braves T-Shirt.  Then for our second game, I want to dress up.  I decided on a denim dress that is comfortable!  They were both paired with my favorite pair of tan sandals from Bakers!

  

Play Ball!!! Don't forget to tune into the Braves game at 7:35 tonight when they take on the Milwaukee Brewers!

Go BRAVES!!

Daily Outfit Post: Work Attire

Since I work at Loft, I am required to dress up and look the part of a Loft employee.  This is not a problem for me since I enjoy dressing up so much! On the days I work I will try to capture my attires to show everyone how to dress cute & professional but still be comfortable.  I am usually on my feet for 7 - 8 hours a day when I work, so I tend to wear flats.

Outfit: 

My black dress is from Loft and is currently on sale in stores & online.  It comes in a blue color.

My cardigan is from Old Navy, I have had this cardigan for the past couple of years and I always keep it every year because it makes my eyes even bluer!

My necklace is from Forever 21 and was only $8.00! It was definitely a steal.  I couldn't find the exact necklace of mine online but it is quite similar! 

My shoes are from Payless Shoes.  This has been my best investment in the past couple of months.  They were only $16 and are perfect for ladies who work in retail! They even come in black!

Inside & Outside my closet.

Since this blog is all about fashion, outfit posts, & everything in between, I decided to give you a view inside my closet! 

This is the view of my closet.  All of my clothes are color coordinated.  However, I need to organize them by season! I have a lot of long - sleeve shirts mixed in with my spring attire!

This is where I usually keep my sweaters.  I don't like to hang my sweaters because it stretches them out.  I purchased this piece of furniture from Target and it is perfect to put sweaters on, keep my DVDs organized, and other storage bins.  

On the back of my closet door, I have my scarves, belts, & necklaces.  I have had this back of the door fixture since I moved to college and it has yet to disappoint! Since I am in a rush most of the time, throwing my scarves and belts on this fixture keeps must of my accessories organized and looking neat!

Now that you have seen the inside of my closet, let me see how you organize your closet! Send me your link to your blog and I will definitely give it a view!

Wonderful Wednesday Trends: Bright Day Dresses

Spring 2012 is filled of different fashion trends for all the ladies to follow!

My favorite trend that I plan on embracing is the Bright Day Dresses.  A Wrap, Shift, Strapless, Sheath, A-Line, Empire, & Shirtdress all cater to each different type of lady.  Accessories for bright dresses are a breeze.  They should be paired with nude high heels or even flats.  Then let a simple necklace lay on top of your colorful dress.  Since spring is full of wild colors so why not your closet be also?

Curvy Ladies

For curvier ladies, I would look for a Wrap or Sheath dress.  These dresses will show off that waistline of yours.  

Short Ladies

For shorter ladies, the Shirtdress or Empire style dress will be your saving grace.  You will want these dresses because they will fit your petite figure perfectly.

Boyish Ladies

The dresses that will fit you will be the Shirtdress or Wrap Dress since they add curves.  You should invest in a belt for these dresses!

Full/Small Bust Ladies

The ladies who were blessed with a full bust, you should dresses that have open necklines and nipped-in waists.  These dresses are going to be Shirtdresses and Wrap style dress.  And if you were blessed not as much (smaller bust), you should try the A-line or Shift style dress.  These styles show off your trim silhouette.  

Tummy Problem Ladies

If you have troubles with your tummy area, look for dresses that do not accent the waistline and look for monochromatic dresses.  The dresses that are going to help you the most are Shift and Empire style dresses.

My top 3 Bright Day Dresses
1. H & M $29.95 - This dress is perfect for short or boyish figure ladies!

2.  Zara $79.90 - This dress will fit short figure ladies & those with a small bust!

3. J. Crew $79.50 - Curvy figured ladies have found their match with this dress!

The great thing about all 3 of these dresses is putting your entire outfit together will be a breeze.  Just pair them with nude heels or flats.  Then belt them with a fun printed belt to show off your waistline.

Now off you go to find the perfect Bright Day Dress!
