OOTD> Isle days

I got this sweater as a Christmas gift and I love it. The colors are so vibrant.  I am really loving neon and Forever 21 is the best plays to treat my neon fever.  I am however so bummed this sweater isn't listed online. It must be in stores only, but trust me, it is well worth the trip.  


I paired the sweater with a pair of INC leggings from Macy's, over the knee Torrid boots, and one of my favorite pieces from Target, a tunic with lace details.  I wore a hot pink cross necklace from Forever 21 and my vintage necklace that I always wear.  

What do you think...also side note: I know a lot of people have complained or requested my photos be taken from a lower angle and I am trying to come in lower.  My husband takes the pics and he is tall. Also, with my crap camera, I can't get my full outfit without it being a bit higher.

OOTN> Stripe Blocking

I am sure you are thinking this dress looks familiar...well that is because it has been in my last two posts!  As you already know I am a big fan of stripes.  I thought I would try and incorporate two of my favorite trends this season: stripes and color-blocking.  Now, I know this isn't technically color-blocking but I thought with the black SPANX nylons and red boots it would kind of sort of be color-blocking.  So, I ordered this dress from Macy's with a gift card I received for Christmas from my lovely aunt and I absolutely love it.  

Dress Information: it is an American Rag from Macy's.  It is 100% stretchy.  The material is so soft and it has a nice neckline.  The colors in the stripes are gorgeous. If I could find a lot of my stuff after my move, I would totally go more Boho with it because turquoise and coral would be fab with this dress.  One quick negative, is the dress is much shorter than in the picture.  I know that with my physique, that I would shorten the dress naturally, but it was short to begin with.  I ordered the dress in a 3X and it is roomy throughout the body of the dress, so I would say it would fit up to a size 32 but maybe just more as a tunic.  The dress is currently on sale for $34.99.

OOTD>Neon Mini

I purchases this amazing mini skirt from Forever 21...and let me tell you, I LOVE IT!! I got it for I think $9.80.  I have always been so into neon and can never find anything in my size.  I am showing two different looks.  


The first is more casual and not how I really envisioned wearing the skirt.  Yes, I envision my outfits, plus I was experimenting with my hair and I didn't love it.  Ok, the outfit.  


Skirt: Neon mini from Forever 21
Top: Leopard print scarf from Torrid
Sweater: Boyfriend Sweater from Macys
Leggings and Boots: Torrid

What do you think?


Next, I wanted to wear the skirt again for the Curvy qt fashion show that I attended (I will be doing a separate post about) and needed to dress it up a bit.  UNFORTUNATELY, it wasn't exactly what I wanted again.  I wanted to do a sheer tight or mesh tight with my over the knee boots, but I was at my moms and didn't have them in my possession.  Ok so outfit:


Top: Target Striped maxi dress (tied and tucked in to make look like a shirt)
Blazer: Target
Skirt: Forever 21
Leggings: Forever 21
Boots: Torrid
Necklace: Nordstrom Rack  ( LOVE IT)

What do you think? Which outfit/hair style do you prefer?

OOTD>Rock Gal

I hate my pictures lately! So So So sorry for the quality.  The pictures have been taken on a camera phone which its good for a camera phone but not great. Until I find or get a new camera, it is all I can do.

I wanted to do a very quick OOTD. My family and I went out for an early Christmas meal and it was delicious.  I had to get ready quickly, so I did a dark burgundy lip and light make-up every where else.  I also didn't do my hair as you can see.  


For my outfit, I wore a very blousy black top from Casual Plus and some Tripp black pants from Torrid and my cozy heels from Torrid.  I also wore this great hummingbird shirt from Forever 21.  I had to purchase it in a 2X and it did not fit my arms. So I cut slits in the sleeves to give way to the mighty arms.  I also wore a denim jean vest that I made out of an old denim jacket from the Gap a million years ago.  I wanted to throw on some denim so the outfit didn't look too dressy.  Last but not least I wore my ruby frog necklace from target.

OOTD>violet beauregard

I wasn't going to post this outfit BUT it got a lot of positive feedback on my tumblr, so I thought what they heck. 


I would have liked to have changed my hair and added some jewelry, but sometimes less is more.  I have to admit, I felt a bit inspired by Violet Beauregard.  

Outfit details:  I think its safe to assume that I love Torrid.  


Dress: Torrid: size 4
Tights: Torrid size 3/4 
Shoes: Torrid size 11 (they didn't have my size 10) 

A quick side note, I did not think that the belt or the tights would fit me but the tights are really generously sized and could fit a much bigger size.  They were SOOO comfortable and easy to get on.  I adore these tights.
