Hey Loves!!

I don’t know about you, but I am enjoying this closet remix series. Its giving me a new perspective on how to re work a few pieces in my closet. About a month or two ago, I featured this ruffle sleeve blouse on the blog (Click HERE) with a pair of jeans and flats. This time, I remixed it with my new favorite pair of denim shorts and my Valentino, look for less, studded pumps. I like the juxtaposition of a classic white shirt vamped up with the ruffle sleeve and ripped denim shorts together. Its like two different people coming together and vibin’ just the same!

Speaking of, I had brunch this weekend with my blogger boo, Renae, of The Ultimate Style Diary. Renae and I “met” on Instagram! She has followed my blog and I hers. She is a native of New Orleans and is one of the sweetest and realest people I know. I wanted to share her blog with you today because I feel its important to spread love in this blogging community. Sometimes, it can be very competitive and challenging. But, I always believe we can all make it together. It should never be a “You Cant’ Sit With Us” mentality (although some folks are like that). Renae has a unique sense of style that I love (I mean, check out that watermelon clutch) and feel that you will too!

Meeting Insta-friends on the ‘gram?

You know, its funny, but I have met a few people that I follow or follow me on Instagram and now we do brunch or hang out. Believe it or not, Instagram is like a new way of meeting people. Its great to meet new people who you share a common bond with and can get to know over lunch or coffee. I use to say no new friends, but blogging has changed that for me. I enjoy meeting new people and getting to know them. It makes blogging more personable and allows me to connect with others. Instead of feeling like a girl behind a computer wondering, is anyone even reading this? Lol.

So please be sure to check out my girl Renae blog and her Instagram. We had so much fun chit chatting over brunch and taking pics of each other. That blog life is real honey!

Original look from 2 years ago!

Hey loves!

So here is part 2 of the closet remix series. I love this J. Crew Factory white shirt dress that I wore on the blog about two years ago (see original post HERE). Shirt dresses have a way of being super casual or nicely dressed up. So I decided to show both versions of a casual, every day vibe vs. a dressed up version with heels and a statement bag. You can not go wrong with either look. When I wore this dress for my photo shoot, it was sooo comfortable. I could have worn it the entire day. But, mommy duty called and that typically means wearing white is a disaster waiting to happen lol.

White shirt dresses offers a really clean, crisp spring look. But, any color shirt dress will give you just the same vibe. The one I am wearing is, as I stated, is about two years old. But, shirt dresses don’t go out of style. You can jazz them up with a corset belt or a colorful scarf. The options are endless. Most importantly, they are a tried and true staple piece and I am definitely picking up a few other colors and prints for the summer.

What are your weekend plans?

I cannot wait for the weekend, its filled with plans for one of my favorite things to do. Eat! lol. I am not sure if I mentioned this here, but I will be in Las Vegas next week for our annual girls trip. Oh the fun that will be had! So I’ll be gearing up with last minute purchases and trying to get my house in order before I leave. My mom always said to make sure your house is in order before you leave town. So a little grocery shopping is in order and preparing a few meals so the hubby can throw them in the microwave. A wife and mother’s job is never done I tell you!

Also, I plan to share with you some of the clothing pieces I got in for my trip, once they’ve all arrived. So stay tuned to my Instagram to find out more!

Have a great weekend!

Original Look!

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I have to make a little something happen with my wardrobe and do a little refresh. I think we all have those moments of feeling that we have nothing to wear (which is basically truth, but hey). So sometimes it is necessary to do a little closet remix to some looks of the past and make old things new again. Enter this dress! You all LOVED this SheIn geometric print maxi dress last summer (Click HERE for the original post). I think this dress is my most popular blog post and I am here for it! This dress is gorgeous for any occassion and is UNDER $40! Yes, ITS STILL AVAILABLE!!

So I wanted to give you all a little closet remix featuring this dress so you can see multiple ways of styling it. What better way to feature the dramatic split up front by pairing it with a little distressed denim. I think it adds a whole new vibe to this dress along with the sexy, fringe sandal and navy clutch. In my original look, I kept it simple with brown sandals and a handbag. But, in this closet remix version, I edged it up with the denim, fabulous right? This dress is an “attention getter”, so if you want to feel amazing… WEAR THIS!

I hope this post gave you a little inspiration on how to rework pieces in your closet. I know sometimes it seems I am always wearing new stuff (ok, in some ways I am) so I wanted to take a key piece and remix it for a fresh look. This look is Part I in my “CLOSET REMIX” series and I hope you follow along.

Which look is your favorite?

So tell me, which look is your favorite, the original or the remix??

And are you feeling the overhead shot in the pathway? For some reason, I think of a scene from one of the music videos in Solange’s new album lol. Isnt she EVERYTHING? Love her!
