The bandage skirt

i usually shy away from very tight clothing...mainly because it rides up and i end up tugging on it all night and feeling self conscious. but this bandage skirt is different. it hardly ever rides up because of the material. i think its perfect for a date night. since the bottom is so tight i went with a more billowy top to balance it all out.

 i have a booty and i dont like it to be fully exposed...especially on a first date. i usually wait to a second or third date to shut it all the way down lol. So i like to leave my shirt untucked in the back. it serves a dual purpose of covering my booty tootch and making the look less pretentious and more laid back. a perfect outfit for a date to dinner or a movie. i love these L.A.M.B. sandals because although they are hella high they are really quite easy to walk in for a long period of time. Stay tuned for more What to Wear Series!

whats your go to outfit for a date night?

Pink & Pepper

so this was a dress I went through hell and high water to get at a sale at Urban Outfitters. Read about that crazy story here. I recently rediscovered it smushed between two other dresses in my closet. YAY! don't you just love when that happens! this time I paired my teeny yellow number with a blazer and these hot Pink & Pepper tribal heel pumps.

Dress: Urban Outfitters | Shoes: c/o Pink & Pepper | Blazer: BB Dakota

Lippy: NARS Heat Wave | Guitar: Mine (lol)

these pink & pepper shoes really set it off i think. I love the cut of this dress and the blazer makes it a little more "yes im about to go to something important and businessy" type of look. if you are looking for a great year round yellow dress check out this one, this one and definitely this one!

PS. a great tip for holding your precious mags...use a wine rack...works just as well as a magazine holder with more sparkle!

the military trend is in full effect and i love it. especially since i am a die hard fan of the color green. i seriously went green crazy this past weekend picking up this top from Top Shop and this shirt and skirt from American Apparel. All of which are various shades of green. not to mention this military top i rocked a few post ago. my whole wardrobe will slowly turn green. anywho so i've been getting my outfits together for New York Fashion Week. Yes...i know its 2.5 months away but i can't help myself. i am in love with fashion and this blog and im not ashamed! but i just realized that the 5 outfits i put together all have green lol. i will be the green bean during fashion week. haha.
