TBT - All for Black and Black for All

A classic little black dress never goes out of style, nor is it ever a bad outfit choice. I made this halter version work-appropriate by pairing it with a black bolero. This little bolero blends so well with the dress, it almost looks like it's part of it. I spiced things up with some bright turquoise accessories, because I felt an all black outfit would be a bit much for summer. Some times the simplest looks are the best. No fuss, no muss!

Al-lure-ing

I was planning on wearing a different version of this look today, but added tights and a sweater at the last minute and switched out the sandals for rubber boots as it was raining. Thankfully, I was able to adapt my look today as opposed to switching it out completely. That's a small victory in my book! I was so excited to bust out these bold tassel earrings. That was until my better half astutely pointed out that he could catch a big mackerel with them... I gave him the "unimpressed" look. Despite the fact they might look like fishing tackle, I still like them! I'll be sure to keep them on lock down to ensure they don't end up in a certain someone's tackle box... I really do appreciate his perspective on my looks!

Black to Basics

A little black dress and a plain solid t-shirt are classic wardrobe staples. When you mash 'em together, you get the black t-shirt dress, a perfect back-to-basics piece. It's the ultimate blank canvas and can be the building block to almost any outfit, no matter the setting. I added this oh-so comfy garment to my arsenal and I predict it will be repeated often. Today, I paired it with a denim jacket and studded flats for a casual look. It can easily be dressed up or down. Plus, with clever layering it is suitable for any season. Who knew such a simple, basic piece could be so exciting?

Chambray Layer

  
I opted to wear my black maxi dress today. Seeing as it is sleeveless and has quite a high slit, I decided to wear my chambray shirt over top to minimize the amount of skin exposure. A hint of leg is ok, but if I was showing off the arms with that, it would be a bit much for an office setting... I finished off the look with hints of metallic in the necklace and shoes, just to add a bit more glitz to my outfit. Lastly, I grabbed my grey fringed purse, as I feel it perfectly adds that touch of casualness. Yes, I realize I have elements that make the look more casual, while others add pizzazz: it's all about balance!

TBT - Pink Puddles

Throwing it back to spring today! I love the new blooms and freshness in the air that springtime brings. However, I am not the biggest fan of April showers... Since I have no say on the weather, I just deal with it. A great tip to deal with the drabness of endless downpours is to invest is a cheery pair of rain boots! As you can see, mine are hot pink! They also happen to match my umbrella! (That is not a mistake.) I clearly was a bit down when getting dressed (I hardly ever wear all black), but putting on my Barbie-boots and adding a hot pink scarf lifted my spirit! Never underestimate the power of a pop of colour! It can be your sunshine on a rainy day!
