Happy Monday, lovelies! Can ya believe it's February already? So, who watched the Super Bowl last night? I'm still irritated by that game. I mean, what was that in the last 20 seconds. That made no sense, right? Needless to say, I was rooting for the Seahawks. So, if you were rooting for the Patriots, then congratulations to you! I didn't love the halftime performance either, except when Missy Elliot came out. That was the best part of the whole thing! Btw, what was your favorite commercial? I liked the T-Mobile commercial with Chelsea Handler & Sarah Silverman. Still upset about that stupid game, though. Read more
Outfit: Jeweled Collar Chambray Shirt
(Super Belated) Happy New Year, lovelies! As you may know, especially if you follow me in Instagram , I was away for the past month and a half! Hence, the long break from blogging! However, I'm excited to be back! I had the most amazing India trip & will share some photos on the blog soon, in case you missed them on Instagram !
So, I picked up this jeweled collar chambray shirt while I was in India and could not wait to style it! It's super versatile & fun! I think pairing this jeweled collar chambray shirt, with faux leather pants, makes for the perfect, drama-free weekend outfit, no? I also picked up this gorgeous, embroidered clutch in India. Have y'all seen those Antik Batik embroidered clutches? Yea, this is the original! The clutch is a fun, surprise element, to add to the jeweled collar chambray shirt! Read more
Wrap Dress & OTK Boots
Happy Monday, loves! While it's Monday morning for most of you, it's Monday evening for me! I am coming to you from Kuwait airport! Crazy, huh? If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter , you probably saw that I'm on my way to India. I have a layover in Kuwait and they have free WiFi, something I strongly believe all airports should have! The last week was super crazy for me and I didn't have much time to work on the blog. So, I figured I'd use this 3+ hour layover to bring you a new post!
I have re-created one of the looks from my Work Holiday Party Outfits post! In case you didn't know, I have a thing for wrap dresses. I think they're so flattering & feminine. This time around, I wanted to pair my wrap dress with OTK boots, to make it more weather appropriate!

What To Wear to a Work Holiday Party
Deciding what to wear to a work holiday party is one of the trickiest things! Of course, it has to be professional, but this is also the right opportunity to show a bit more personality, no? Also, this is your chance to get noticed. So, what you wear to a work holiday party can be very important. That being said, you also don't wanna look like you're trying too hard.
The outfit I'm wearing in today's post works for a dinner party, or a low-key afterwork holiday get together. During work, you can skip the belt and add a blazer. After work, the belt adds more personality. When it comes to deciding what to wear to a work holiday party, I'm all about making subtle statements. The dress is a good ol' lbd, but there is a lot of volume, which definitely makes a statement. The shoes aren't loud, but they do stand out. Lastly, the best part - y'all know how I feel about pockets, right? If it has pockets, it wins.
Would ya look at all that volume? This dress just makes me wanna keep spinning!

And because one option is never enough, here are two more ideas to help you solve the dilemma of what to wear to work holiday party, including an entire outfit under $100!
Could you excuse me while I drool over this outfit? If your company's holiday party is super fancy or if you're in a senior role, this is the look for you. You're definitely going to turn heads, in a really, really good way! Again, it's all about subtle statements. Each piece in this outfit can make a statement all on it's own, but I've kept everything pretty neutral, making the skirt the highlight of this look. Can this whole outfit end up in my closet .... now? Please? (Hope you're taking notes, Santa!)
