Simple and Sweet

I can’t emphasize enough that if you buy simple, classic pieces, they never go out of style. I love prints and patterns as much as the next girl, but they don’t make your closet “stretch” as much as solid, classic pieces do.  I’ve had this dress for 11 years and still  love it. Classic never goes out of style. 

 

Embroidery is in the Air

So, I was just looking on the Forever 21 website. I searched ’embroidered’ and OMGEE there are so many beautiful pieces out! Check, check it out!

This dress was purchased at Forever 21 earlier this spring.

Off-the-Shoulder embroidered dress

I have had this dress for yeeears! In 2007, the city I live in (finally) got a flagship Forever 21 store and its stolen my heart (and wallet) ever since. Don’t be discouraged by the name! You can find items for all ages in there! At Christmas, my grandma bought herself a scarf from there. Well anyway, when the store opened I was a recent college grad and had limited funds, but I splurged and bought this dress. At the time, I wore this dress regularly and not off the shoulder. Well, over the years, I’ve possibly expanded and the dress became shorter. Now I wear it off the shoulder to give it some extra length, but it is still one of my all time favorite dresses! Always will be and the embroidery is a def plus! The purse I featured is a leather laser cut crossbody that can also be worn as a clutch. Inside the purse is like a wallet with lots of space still for a phone, lipstick, compact mirror, pen and paper.

tribal and trivial

Well, it was a hot day this day. I had a job interview earlier, too. I had to wear slacks and a blazer 😥 But as soon as I got home, I slipped on this soft dress with amazing embroidered, beaded details. Also, my sweet friend, Lissette, got me this awesome straw clutch and I want to wear it everyday! Keep your fingers crossed that I get the job!
