Raise your hand if you avoid wearing shorts at all costs. ME! Up until a year or two ago, you’d never catch me in shorts. Seriously never. I have always been super critical of my legs, especially my chubby knees and thighs. So, I always hid my legs. You’d catch me in lots of sun dresses and a-line dresses that hit at the knee or mid-calf, but never in shorts.

Are you heading anywhere for spring break? I’m heading to Huntington Beach next weekend, so I’m already planning my wardrobe in my head. Long flowy dresses, like this striped maxi dress, are definitely on the list. I have some archive photos from our trip to Turks and Caicos, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite striped maxi dresses with you.

Have you heard of swiss dot dresses? Until I started researching this post to accompany my new favorite black dress, I hadn’t heard the term either. But to my surprise, I found so many lovely dresses that all used the term swiss dot dresses. It’s clearly a fashion term that is consistently used for clothing that have monochromatic dots on them.

If you had told me I’d be rocking combat boots in 2020 I would have laughed at you. I haven’t worn Doc Martens since high school. In high school, they were the shoes. I literally owned 5 pairs, at least. And I loved them so much. I had the shoe kind, the boot kind, and even the sandal kind. They were my look.

Have you heard of ktip extensions? I hadn’t until about two months ago. I’d been thinking about trying hair extensions for a couple of years. I tried tape-in hair extensions a few years ago, but I really didn’t like them. I’d read about a few other options for hair extensions – like halos, clip-ins, and weaves, but I really wasn’t sure what was right for me.

It’s February! I can’t believe one month of 2020 is already behind us. Although it does feel like Christmas was way more than a month ago, I also can’t believe it’s almost spring, at least in LA! I’m trying to enjoy these cooler temps for a little longer and that’s where this gorgeous turtleneck midi dress comes in.

If you pay any attention to fashion, I bet you’ve seen animal print midi slip skirts have officially infiltrated fashion, lately. It’s like everywhere I look, I see a girl wearing an animal print silk skirt. You know the one I’m talking about. It’s the one in traditional animal print with a brown base and black spots. And I love that look too, but I was more excited when I found this all-black animal print midi slip skirt.

Have you noticed a major trend right now is two piece outfits with matching tops and skirts? I wasn’t sure how I felt about this trend, in general, but there is something really easy about matching pieces.

One of my favorite clothing options in the fall and winter are sweater dresses. I love them because they come in so many different shapes, colors, styles and fits. You can find bodycon black sweater dresses, like the one I’m wearing, or much flowier sweater dresses, like this check-print one and this ribbed one I wore a few seasons ago.
