Keeping it Basic

Posted by Cathy at 4:38 PM 7 comments
Another hot, hot day in Delaware. So as repetitive as it is I decided to wear pretty much the same looking outfit again. This time I just stuck with your basic colors: white, navy and tan. I pulled a essential white button down (with some extra opaque design detailing plus a bow) and lifted my navy blue skirt up and tied it together with a gray/purple linking belt.
For my shoes I wore a double Mary Jane knock off in a tan color. The company that made these shoes are Anne Michelle I think..They have such a great variety of shoes and colors to go with any mood and outfit.
For some extra fun I threw in some Ann Taylor loft bracelets I found for $10 each! I decided to wear both the silver and gold since it would make great accents with the color scheme I was going with.
I feel these pieces are so essential to my closest because it is timeless and will never go out of fashion. The only thing you have to do is change the way you wear them and what you pair it with and you're ready to start the day!

Breeze With Side Of Skirt

Posted by Cathy at 8:52 PM 3 comments
It's an extremely hot day out and I was in need of something with a little breeze (Excuse my wet hair it was too humid to even think about whipping out a dryer). I decided to pair an old brown floral skirt with a navy blue tank. I just love mixing different colors together. And to tie it all in I wore a thrifted bronze gem necklace I got for only $2. (One of my favorite finds)
I felt great wearing the skirt. Not only was I comfortable and free, I felt in season and style. For the upcoming season expect to see a lot of flowy skirts with basics tops and a skinny belt to tie the look together. Wear sandals or wedges during the day, trade in your tank/tee for a silky blouse and a slimmer heel at night.

Sunday was my sister's engagement ceremony! It was a little chaotic but everything turned out well. Congratulations to my sister Sarah and her Fiancé Calvin. I can not wait for the wedding in September. We are going to go shopping for bridesmaid dresses on Saturday. I guess its about time to lose the weight I gained while I was at school.

Rompin' It

Posted by Cathy at 5:42 AM 3 comments
Gotta make this quick before I leave for work. It looks like a beautiful day out and weather channel says its going to be a sunny one! I know I have a hectic day at Express, moving sale and whatnot, so I decided to wear my purple romper!! I wanted to belt it with a bracelet and matching necklace but I could not find the belt...I guess I didn't bring everything home from school yet.
I know its a change for some people and some may call it a jumpsuit, but it's a romper and its super comfortable. Plus, it is one of those pieces that should be a staple in your closet! It is great for everyday wear and if you need a quick going out outfit, you're in the money. Pair it up with some cute accessories or add some shape with a belt.
So here is my purple romper with a great feather flowered headband I got on sale at Charlotte Russe! (Enjoy my fan on the side) I am ready to attack my day of work and errands, only three days left until my sister's engagement ceremony. ITS CRUNCH TIME
Some crash while taking my pictures eek.
