Fashion
Earlier this year, I got my first professional, custom, nail art manicure, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I try to change up my manicure every two to three weeks and I get most of my inspiration from Pinterest and Instagram. I actually found my current spring nail art while looking on my finder on Instagram. It’s the perfect spring manicure because the light pink and the white just look so fresh.
Last fall, I remember seeing a lot of cut out shoulder tops, especially cut out shoulder sweaters and other cold shoulder tops. Initially, I didn’t really love the trend. Like a lot of trends, I think they are cute on other people, but I’m not sure they will work on me. Finally, I decided to give it a try because an adorable cut out shoulder top arrived right to my door. So, I had no reason not to at least try it.
I rarely have time to shop. Most of the time, I either purchase things online (and then return 99%). Sometimes, I’ll grab something really quickly and take it home to try later. That’s exactly what happened when I saw this floral print bodycon dress.
Last week I had to go shopping for some new items for an upcoming shoot. I haven’t shopped in the mall in forever. Most of my shopping, I do online, just due to lack of time. I missed perusing the mall because that’s the only time that I get to explore and spot trends. Almost immediately, I quickly realized I would need to try the wrap top blouse trend.
Real talk ladies – for the majority of my life, I’ve hidden my legs. I specifically hid my legs from the knee up because of cellulite and a general dislike for my chubby knees. I’d wear knee length or midi-length dresses because I do like my calves, but I’d never wear shorts.
Working from home has one major perk—I very rarely need to dress up anymore. For the past 15 years, I’ve worked in a corporate setting, so I needed to have a lot of ‘work clothes’. My work uniform the last few years, was a blazer and cropped skinny pants, paired with heels.
If you read my fashion posts, you know that one of my fashion goals is to break out of my comfort zone and try new things. I had no idea how to wear paperbag pants before because I was sure they wouldn’t work for me.
Vertical stripes, horizontal stripes, multi-colored stripes, they are all majorly on trend for spring. I recently ordered this cute stripe midi dress online (it’s under $50!), but I really doubted it would work on me. See, I generally avoid horizontal stripes at all costs. They tend to make me look wider. However, this dress totally worked!
Before I get too far into this post about head scarves and how to use wear and style a scarf in your hair, I wanted to make sure you knew that I’m giving away the newest Box of Style. The giveaway ends soon, so make sure you enter.
