Over the past couple of weeks I have asked my followers to send me some new ideas to talk about on my blog. Chanda recently asked to see “multiple ways to wear affordable work clothes.” So thank you Chanda for the great blog idea…I hope you enjoy what I came up with!

This navy blue dress is from Forever 21 and I paid $24 for it. I love this dress because it is comfortable and stylish for various looks you are going for. I really think it’s important to have dresses like this in your wardrobe because you can tailor different looks around it; whether it is for work or a Spring training game!

This first work look is layered with a vintage maroon motorcycle jacket, a statement piece copper necklace and a pair of black wedges. I love pairing navy with warm colors like maroon and deep plum purples; in my opinion that is when the navy color really stands out. This is more of a “casual,” work look but most women can get away with this look if you pair a light button-up neutral color sweater with it under the jacket!

Like I say “always add statement pieces before you walk out of the door.” It can truly make your entire outfit pop, like the picture shown above.

-Dress, Forever 21 $24 www.forever21.com
-Jacket, Vintage, Stole from my mom’s closet 🙂
-Shoes, Jessica Simpson/ Dillards $69 www.dillards.com
-Necklace, Forever 21 $14.50
-Sunglasses, Guess By Marciano $59 www.guessbymarciano.com
-Ring, Forever 21 $8

My next look is more of a business casual office look. I layered a thin stripe white and navy button up under the dress to give the look a different feel.

I also wanted to accessorize this outfit up with a pearl necklace, cluster diamond earrings and a tan belt. If this is too much for you, then I would just choose the jewelry or belt and not do both 🙂

My last look is also a business casual outfit that is paired up with a burnt orange tailored jacket and a vibrant brushed gold and neutral beaded necklace that brings the looks together. I also paired this outfit with some close-toe chocolate brown booties that I absolutley love! These boots are amazing because they can work for really any look you are going for, whether it’s a dress look or skinny jean look….these boots have you covered!

I had to share this picture with all of you! I was meeting with a client the other day and just happened to look up and this is the beautiful visual I saw…so I had to get out my phone and take a picture 🙂

Spring is my favorite time of year…that’s why my past 5 posts have to do with Spring wear and gear! 🙂 As some of you may know; I am a bargain shopper and I will find deals in almost every store and if I don’t…I move on to the next store! Over the past couple of weeks I have got amazing deals on the items shown below!20130221-224540.jpg
This coral sweetheart cut cotton dress is from Forever 21. This light weight material is perfect for the Arizona weather! I would pair this dress with a cropped jean jacket for day wear and I would change it up at night with a black or turquoise boyfriend blazer. This was the last dress at Chandler Mall but I am sure you can find this dress in coral at the other Forever 21 locations. Price of dress $17.98

Can you guess where I got this Neon Black Purse???? Drum roll please……Forever 21! This purse was only $12; I saw a purse very similar to this one at BCBG at the Kierland location for $198. I like this style because it is very versatile for day wear as well as night and it is the perfect size because it can hold my lip gloss, iphone, camera, card holder and keys.

If you are short like me, you will fall in love with this cut because they fit like cigarette pants (pants that look like high waters…but in a good way). These beauties were found at another favorite store of mine Target! I love this color because it goes with just about anything: tan, coral, black, white, plum purple and the list can go on. These pants look amazing with nude stiletto heels. I paid $29.99 for these pants and I am thinking about going back and buying the black ones too <3

There are days when I wake up and all I want to do is wear my pajamas all day while I’m running errands. But I know that I can’t do that, so I came up with the next best outfit (that was super comfy) which included a pair of black leggings, a black button up, a turquoise scarf and a pair of black Tory Burch flats (sorry I forgot to take a picture of the outfit).
Earlier this week I asked my Facebook friends for some blog ideas and one of my good friends Ann, gave me a great idea! Which brings me to my blog topic today…..Scarf Versatility!

20130216-182301.jpg
These are 2 of my favorite scarves for Spring. The coral round scarf is from Royal BOWTiQUE and the blue and white floral scarf is from Kohls! Hope you enjoy my blog video on ways to wear these beauties!

Are you looking for everything at your finger tips, when it comes to shopping? At LuLus.com you will find dresses, shoes, jewelry, high waist shorts in every color imaginable and so much more! I recently discovered this website when I was looking for some new Spring dresses. I googled “Mint Dresses,” and LuLus came up!

LuLu’s carries affordable finds by emerging designers and Indie finds from all over the world! Below are some of my favorite looks for Spring 2013!

These four pieces are some of my favs for Spring! This site has everything for every look you are going for; whether it’s a casual look or a red carpet event. The lace nude top is very versatile with a pair of black cigarette pants (they look like high-water skinny jeans) or high-waist neon pink shorts! You will be seeing a lot of lace this Spring and Summer in shorts dresses and accessories.

As for the dresses, I love the fact that it is the easiest piece of my wardrobe to put together because I only need to add accessories and heels! But if you are not a dress kind of gal no problem; I still have you covered with…SHOES!

I am a “heel fan,” myself but they have a lot of ballet flats, sandals and boots in various colors and textures. I have not purchased their shoes as of yet so I do not know the quality but they look amazing…and pain is beauty! 🙂

Happy Friday and Style on ladies!

Red roses, cinnamon hearts and giant chocolate hearts covered with red tin foil. Just a couple of visions that come to mind when I think of Valentines day! My husband and I usually lay low on this day….last year we got Jack in the Box and watched Walking Dead (best Vday ever).

A friend of mine requested this blog/video topic and I thought is was a good idea!

My first look is a work inspired outfit. The dress is from Forever 21 and it is the most comfortable dress I own! I love the pleats at the bottom of the dress, it gives it a very girly look! I bought my Gianni Bini, chunky black heels from Dillard’s (quite sometime ago) but I know that Jessica Simpson has shoes that look very similar to mine.

20130128-210424.jpg
My gun-metal/black necklace is from Guess By Marciano (it’s an oldie but goodie). I have also seen a similar twisted cluster necklace at Forever 21 and Target.

I love this casual but girly look for Valentines day! This outfit is perfect if you are going on a dinner and a movie kind of date or even a surprise date to a fancy restaurant! We can start with my basic boyfriend tee in the color “Rose” from Nordstrom Rack (this tee comes in various colors and is a great layering piece). My “Chanel” inspired jacket is pretty old school but you can find one just like it at Macy’s in tan or black and white! My bottoms are skinny jeggings from Guess By Marciano (but you can truly find jeggings anywhere).

My funky, fun hot pink and gun-metal necklace is from H&M!!!! They also have this necklace in a highlighter green color!!!

20130128-211331.jpg

My black clutch with a silver grip is from Charlotte Russe and my vintage inspired bracelets were bought from Alice Cooper. Ok, let me give you a little back story on this. During my freshman year of college I really started getting into vintage pieces, necklaces and bracelets….even vintage coats and bags. Lets just say I went a little over bored and bid on one of Alice Coopers pieces at The Brass Armadillo in Phoenix (he had a booth there with a lot of vintage jewels). I was lucky enough to have the highest bid and got the bracelet of my vintage dreams!!!! Well at least I still get a lot of use out of it! 🙂

My hot pink silky top is from my favorite store…….drum roll please…. Forever 21! This top also comes in black and white.

20130128-212103.jpg

My diamond brushed gold necklace is also from Forever 21 and I love how this statement piece completes my look for Valentines Day! This necklace is no longer available in stores but you can still buy it online!

Hope you enjoyed the video today ladies!

Forget the heels its fall and time to give your poor feet a rest! These chocolate brown studded boots are a must have this season. What I love about the style of these boots is that you can wear them with just about anything! They look great with dark skinny jeans and a boho top, or with a free flowing dress and leather jacket.

The best part about these boots is that they are comfortable you can find them at almost any retail store. You can find the boots shown above at Nordstrom www.nordstrom.com
