not so basic dress

This dress again....

The basic shirt-dress from Necessary Clothing is ultra comfortable. Super casual for everyday but can be dressed up with your favorite accessories. A hat, booties, some jewels, the possibilities are endless. It's currently on sale for $15 and comes in many colors. I have it in Olive too, seen here. I don't know about you but when I find something I love I tend to get it in a few colors, and at these prices you just can't lose! Thanks for stopping by.

so long summer

#OOTD

Oh just sitting on these beautiful steps reminiscing about Summer.

Is it just me or does Summer always seem to come and go way too quickly? I'm pretty sure I know your answer. Each year before Summer begins I make a mental list of all the things I want to do, places I'd like to visit, and restaurants I'd like to try, in my own city mind you. And every year I'm lucky if I do half those things. At first I thought it was me, but no it's you Summer, it's you! You come and bring sunshine, carefree nights, and cute little dresses, oh how I love dresses. And before I could spend the day at The High Line, visit The Cloisters, or try Melba's famous Southern Friend Chicken, boom you're gone! Now I know what you're thinking, I could do all these things any time of the year, and you're right, but there's just something magical about the Summer time. Could it be the longer day light hours, the sound of the ice cream truck driving down your street, the beach, or those cute little dresses again....
All I know is that when Summer comes around I feel like a kid on the last day of school. Yup, that's the best way I can describe it! Fall may be my favorite season but saying goodbye to Summer is certainly bittersweet. Hope you had a great one!

Necessary Clothing

#OOTD

Jeans / Similar Bodysuit Here & Here / Shoes (currently on sale) / Duster Coat / Stella & Dot Rings / RocksBox Necklace

You know I practically live in jeans and this distressed pair from Necessary Clothing are my current faves. Super comfy, on trend, and won't break the bank.

I love dressing up my denim, it's pretty much what you will find me in most days. Here I paired my distressed denim with a mock neck bodysuit and a light weight duster coat, which is perfect for this crazy December weather as of late!!! I added some jewels and a great pair of heels and done! What's your favorite way to dress up your denim?

As always thank you so much for taking some time out of your day and stopping by. Wishing you a wonderful Holiday Season!

Black & White

#OOTD

Jumpsuits are a favorite trend and there's a fit for everyone. They can be worn super casual or dressed up for a formal affair or even the office. You can't beat the versatility and you don't need to break the bank either. Here I paired a New York & Co. Jumpsuit (find similar here & here) with an H&M Blazer. I added a heel which looks great with the wide leg and my favorite Bloom Statement Necklace for an extra wow factor.

As always Thank You for stopping by!

The Usual Suspects

#OOTD

On most any given day this is what you'll find me in... jeans & a blazer. I can't help it, it's my basic, my every day, my usual. I love denim and there is NOTHING like a great fitting pair of jeans or a few, who are we kidding. A great fitting blazer is also a staple. A blazer not only looks great with jeans (my favorite way to wear it), but also with shorts, a skirt, or over your favorite dress. It's also a great way to Dress Up your Denim. What is your go-to piece? I'd love to hear in the comments below.

Spent a fabulous and much needed 3 day weekend in Ft. Lauderdale with the hubby, this past May. The weather was absolutely perfect, the food was delicious, the beach was so relaxing, and for once I didn't over pack. One of my favorite pieces was this Floret Medley dress from Shop Sosie. This has been my go to site for my Spring & Summer apparel and you can get 20% off site wide with promo code: mylifeinmascara20 which means I will be doing a little shopping tonight!

Winter Wonderland Or Winter Blues

#OOTD

BlackHeart Skater Dress / Ann Taylor Coat (similar) / Michael Kors Watch / Faux Fur scarf / Kate Spade Clutch / Camper Booties (similar) / Nars Cruella Lip Pencil /Stella & Dot Necklace / Stella & Dot Bracelets

The winter blues has me wanting to play dress up. Anyone else? It was one too many days of hanging on the couch, eating way too much, and wearing nothing but pajamas, then cabin fever set in and that's it.... Some red lipstick, a dress, a little fresh air, and I was all better! Ahhhh

Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Thanks for stopping by, stay warm!

Red clutch

#OOTD

I love adding an unexpected POP of color to my look. You don't have to be matchy-matchy or go overboard. Sometimes just adding one item in a bright fun color is all you need to liven up an outfit.
