Turquoise and White


Hello again! I don't know if two posts in a row is too much, but I couldn't not post one of my favorite summer outfits!
My family went to eat for my mom's birthday tonight, and I had to get out one of my favorite dresses. Since I can probably eat my body weight in rolls... I thought a flowy dress wouldn't be restricting for when I indulge myself with their buttery goodness. The open back detail gives the dress some pizazz and keeps me cool in this warm weather. One of my favorite colors for spring and summer is turquoise. I like to pair it with coral accessories to add some more color. I think the two colors really compliment each other well!  
Last, but not least... The shoes. Alas, it is finally time to break out the white pants and white shoes. I like these because they can be dressed up or down, and they are super comfortable! 




Dress: Body Central (old, similar here and I like this)

Shoes: Gianni Bini (old. They're not white, but I like these)
Necklace: Jennifer Lopez (get it here)
Lipstick: Wet n' Wild Dollhouse Pink (get it here)


Thank you for reading my blog! At the end of every post I am going to be posting a Bible verse. I hope that His Word can be encouraging to others as it is for me! :)


2 Thessalonians 3:16
 "Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you."

My First Post - Red, White, and Bows!

Hey everyone!

I hope everyone has had a fantastic week so far.

My first post is going to be what I wore for memorial day earlier this week. I wanted to be patriotic and fashionable at the same time. I am calling this outfit: Red, white (actually... it's off white), and bows! I LOVE bows, lace, and wedges. All three of these favorites are packed into one outfit.

With the temperature in the 80's I felt that a chiffon top would be nice and breezy. The back is the top has a big now and there are "cold-shoulder" sleeves. I paired it with cut-off denim shorts because that screams SUMMERTIME. As I was scanning my closet for shoes, I remembered I had these wedges with bows on the toes (hey, that rhymes) tied in with the bow on my top. To finish it off, I added a pearl and chain necklace and a gold purse!

I had a little help from my new dress form for a couple pictures because I am no pro and couldn't get a good picture with auto-timer. Forgive me. On a side note... I plan to get better pictures as time goes on.










Top: Belk (similar here and here)

Shorts: Jessica Simpson (out of stock, similar here)

Wedges: Rue21 (old, I like these)

Necklace: Rue21 (old, similar here)

Purse: Michael Kors (get it here on sale)




Thank you to all of those who serve our country!
