A floral off shoulder top, say what? Yes, loves! This one is a keeper in my book. Even in high, sweltering 90 degree heat, the swing and movement of this light weight piece kept me easy breezy! I purchased this beauty from ILY Couture during their Memorial Day sale. ILY Couture had my heart a few years ago when I saw this gorgeous sweatshirt on Instagram and I had to have it! They always have stylish, but wearable pieces that you can wear years from now and still look in style. Don’t you love when that happens? This floral off shoulder top mixed with the fringe sandals and leopard clutch makes me smile. Mixing different prints and textures, such as the fringe in these gorgeous shoes,  adds unexpected details to your outfit that simply works!

 

I loved this floral off shoulder number so much, I also purchased it in the blush pink version too! I cant wait to pair it with a simple white pencil skirt or white jeans. Its going to make such a simple, but sophisticated look. Which I am all about by the way! Or you can pair it with gray tones as well to add a bit of luxe to your look!

 

How would you wear this flirty piece?

What to wear to work on Monday is a question many of you ask on Sunday night, am I right?  I know tomorrow is July 4th, but you know what I mean! Lol. Many of you have asked me to incorporate some office ready looks on my blog. To tell you the truth, I literally just wake up and throw on clothes for work. Camille takes up most of my time in the morning, so I just do a quick ten minute face to “make up” for the tragedy of what I am wearing that day.  For a long time, I was seriously lacking inspiration on wear to work items when it came to my closet. But, when I came across these culottes from Ann Taylor?! Honey, all kinds of inspiration sparked! One being this totally wearable outfit for the office!

So here is the start to a new series on my blog called “What to Wear to Work on Monday!”  Once a month, I will feature office appropriate looks that are stylish and of course, affordable!! I know these culottes may not be acceptable in all workplace environments, but for those of you who work in a business casual office, these are totally doable! You can style these with a tie neck blouse come fall with a cute blazer, v neck sweaters layered over a white shirt, denim shirts or plain tees with dainty jewelry. I’ve linked some options for you below. The possibilities are endless! These culottes will also carry you into Happy Hour or dinner out after work. So grab these babies NOW!

See you Thursday for my next post!

Happy Thursday!

 

Its hot as heck here in Dallas! Lol. Which means I am constantly looking for comfortable, easy going dresses that are breathable and also has a little fun detail. This little black dress from SheIn meets all of the above requirements! I’ve worn it to the office, out to lunch or just running errands. From lace up sandals to platform heels, this dress scores in functionality and price! And guess what, its only $20!! I think with all the money you’re saving on this dress, buying a pair shoes, handbag or jewelry totally makes sense, right? Right!

 

So a little update on my weight loss challenge. Its now week 3 and I lost nothing my second week. Not even an inch! Its so disheartening not seeing any changes. I want a flat tummy like yesterday! This weekend I did have  alcohol and cake as it was my friend birthday celebration. Its funny, after only two weeks of eating healthy my body seemed to have adjusted to my new eating habits. I noticed my body felt a hot mess the next day. No, I wasn’t hungover, but I just felt yucky. I plan to exercise a little bit harder this week and see what that gives me. Lets hope that helps! I aim to win!!

 

Are you beach body ready yet?

Hey Loves!

 

Don’t you just adore the sleeve on this top? Bell sleeves are definitely another 2016 trend! Its a cute, flirty but dramatic look that I love so much. I will  definitely wear this top with shorts, skirts and of course my favorite: boyfriend jeans! I also pulled out one my favorite bags! My dad bought this for me as my graduation present for college a few years ago. So its near and dear to my heart. Anyways, its no longer available, but I linked a few similar cross body bags I am sure you will love!

 

I am sorry I have been a little quiet lately. I’ve been a little busy! Not only do I work full time job, have a toddler, am a wife and fashion blogger, but I also decided to start working out too. LOL. There are NOT enough hours in the day people! All I want to do after I work out or cook dinner is lay in the bed and watch tv! My husband side of the family and I have all started a weight loss challenge this past week. For six weeks we are to get our lives together and lose some weight!!  So we must work out at least 3 times a week- texting proof of our workouts and of course shed some pounds!! At the end, whoever loses the most weight and maintains their workouts will win some cash! Mama needs a new purse! So I am not playing any games, ok!

 

I know you’re thinking, girl please you don’t need to lose anything! Oh yes I do friends, this stomach fat is no joke! I don’t know where it came from, but I want it to get thee behind me Satan (Martin anyone?) lol. If you want to follow my journey to getting fit, follow me on Snapchat (ALWAYZFASHLATE)!! My focus: no caffeine, sweets, cut down on meat, eat more fruits and veggies and drink lots of water! I’ve lost 2.5 pounds so far and one inch off the waist. My goal is to lose 5 pounds which I think will help with the tummy section. If I can get this stomach back flat, I will be one happy lady!

 

Do you have any tips or work out routines that has helped with the tummy area? Please share!

Happy Thursday!

 

How do you like this off shoulder tunic? This blouse is from SheIn and is only $12!!!!  I know lots of you had questions on my last SheIn blog post (here) about ordering from their site. So I figure this would be more of a review post to give you peace of mind about the site and what you should expect. So lets hop to it!!

 

Thoughts on this top:

  1. Its long! Its tunic length, so it hit me mid thigh. I was expecting it to hit at the waist which would make it easier to throw on with anything like jeans, pencil skirt or maxi skirt.  So it makes it a bit awkward styling wise on choosing how to wear it. I just decided to tuck it in and keep it moving.
  2. Its lightweight material, but would still be hot during the summer. I wore this on a humid day and I was hot! The material is not cotton, so it doesn’t breathe very well. I would suggest wearing this on cool,breezy days so you’re not hot as heck 🙂 With 90 degree days hitting us in Texas, I may have to tuck this baby in the closet until cooler days.
  3. The sleeves are gathered so it has that elastic at the end. Some folks may not like that, I don’t really have a problem with it.
  4. Do I like it? Would I order it again?? Yes!!! I mean its only $12!! Again, its not a piece to wear in the dead heat of summer. Those of you who live in cooler climates would benefit the most out of this piece right now. But, come fall it will be getting a lot of wear!!

 

Thoughts on ordering from SheIn:

  1. I know everyone is a little skeptical with ordering from a company overseas. I don’t blame you with some of the horror stories and pics I’ve seen on Facebook of people ordering one thing and getting a hot mess.  I have not experienced that with SheIn! Everything I have received looks just like the picture! So no worries there!
  2. READ THE REVIEWS!!!- I cannot stress this enough. I encourage you to do so because thats what I do before  proceeding to order. The reviews give me peace of mind and also some feedback that I can apply to whether or not it will work for me. I haven’t ordered anything  that doesn’t have a review. With that being said, I have only returned 2 pieces so far due to the fit/ material or I just didn’t like it on me. I think this is typical when you order online, so its to be expected!
  3. It may take you a while to receive your items- It typically takes me a week or week and a half to receive my order. So plan accordingly!
  4. Pay close attention to the “Description” section- this will tell you what type of material the product is made of, if there is stretch and sizing info. This will be very helpful in determining how the product will hang or drape on you, the fabric type, what size to order etc. I always make sure to review the size chart before selecting. So make sure to do that. Also, I find most pieces from SheIn to have thin material. So check out the description box to determine what its made of. If you equate quality with heaviness of the fabric, you may not get that with SheIn.

 

I hope this honest review helps. I know so many of you had reservations on what to expect and was unsure if you should order. So this should put some of those fears to rest. If you have any questions, please comment below or even email me. I’ll be happy to give you my two cents!

 

See you Sunday for my next post!!

Hi There!

 

I’m letting you know now there will be lots and lots of off shoulder pieces on the blog! I am super obsessed with this trend and rightly so! I love how it’s a little flirty, but yet an understated look that can translate from day to night.

Hello Again!

You guys know I love Target right?! I mean, who doesn’t! On one of my MANY trips there I came across this GORGEOUS olive midi dress for ONLY $30You wouldn’t even think that its Target right? Well, it most certainly is! Stay Woke! Lol. This dress is a part of their “Who What Wear” collection. What is “Who What Wear?” Well, its an amazing online fashion magazine that features street style, celebrity fashion and so much more!! They actually collaborated with Target and have their very own collection thats in stores now. The pieces are very affordable, stylish and chic. I mean, a $30 midi dress that looks like $100? I’ll take it!
