Last night in NOLA

We wanted to go out to a normal club instead of Bourbon St. our last night. We ended up going to thos place called Wine Bistro and it was cool. It was different than how we party in Dallas but nothing wrong with bounce music! After leaving there, we DID go to Bourbon St.! Lol 

I pretty much wore a mix of brands but Forever 21 has been cleaning out my wallet with their new items! I'm not really a spring fashion person, but I've surprisingly liked a lot of things this year. 

I wore a mesh crop top and a tribal skirt from Forever 21+. I love the top but you need a really good strapless bra to match the neckline of the shirt or you'll see your bra like you see mine. I didn't trip because my bra was black. I like mixing crop tops with skirts over denim. I might try it this summer.

Swamp Ride in New Orleans

I went to Slidell to take a swamp tour, and it was so much fun! We saw alligators, wild boars, snakes and much more! I wanted to wear this dress for a long time since I bought it. It's from Forever 21+, and it comes in two colors, green & purple. It was really comfortable all day and the perfect amount of skin. I love the key hole feature in the middle! Better get it fast, been selling out left and right. My sandals are from Charlotte Russe, super inexpensive! My hat is also from Forever 21. I've always wanted a hat like this but could never find one to fit this head! Haha  

OOTD: Mint & Polka Dots

Well, we were supposed to get a visit today but he never came. But...I still looked cute! ;) 

I recently bought this new polka dot tank from Torrid. It has the cutest ruffles for the entire front part of the shirt. I paired it with my favorite white blazer, that I always wear, and my mint jeans from Forever 21. 

Although it is Summer, I still love to wear my blazers. Fortunately, I work indoors so I am in the air conditioning. I'm obsessed with blazers. I have so many!!! I love to layer, even in the summer. I try to still work with brighter colors even though  I am a Fall/Winter fashion type of person.

Love Me Some Leopard Print ;)

So, I was invited to a Drag Show in Downtown Dallas at the Rose Room! I knew exactly what I wanted to wear!! I had just bought this dress from Forever 21 and these shoes from Shu Deal in Dallas. As soon as I saw this dress on the Forever 21+ website, I immediately bought it. I knew it would sell fast and it did! I love leopard print so this dress was a must buy! It is really comfortable with a soft, stretchy fabric. I liked that it was a peplum dress because it really accents my figure. I love peplum and this dress did it for me! I added a belt I bought from Torrid. I had move the little gold things over to create a chain effect.

I've loved the captoe trend season, but could never find any in my size. I finally went to Shu Deal after my co-worker told me about all the shoes she gets there. They have my size and they are cute shoes. They are really affordable too. I bought a pair of booties for like $7. Anyway, these captoe, strap heels I found are really cute, but my feet slide in them. I had to put a panty liner in them so I wouldn't slide. AND YES, I said a PANTY LINER. Lol.

Polka Dots!

I recently bought this polka dot cropped jacket from Torrid. It went to clearance and it was only $18 after my discounts! I wanted to add a pop of color to my outfit, so I wore a blush pink camisole that is also from Torrid. My skirt is from Forever 21+. They have all kinds of colors, including the one from one of my previous post. They're decent quality for what you pay. I believe it was about $10. My heels are also from Torrid. They're the classic system heel, which they are pushing out of. I was told we will introduce a new heel every month, which I have been very pleased with! 

Stripes with Bold Colors

I bought this shirt a few months ago. I had every intention of wearing it but it was very tight around my arms. I'm pretty sure everybody knows Forever 21's policy, you can't return anything!!! I decided to give myself a personal challenge. I would continue my weight loss journey and see how the shirt fit. Although I haven't worked out in a month (after losing 13 lbs.), I thought I had gained some of the weight back. Surprisingly, I went to try the shirt on this morning and it fit!!!

 

(Excuse my fitting room, had to excuse myself at work! haha)

This was my first draped-back shirt and I think I pulled it off! I decided since I had a bold colored top, my striped pencil skirt would be nice break up. I usually can't wear a button-up by itself because of the gaping in the chest area. Then, when I looked in my closet I saw my thin, teal belt I had on another skirt and I decided to add it on. I think these colors look great together. The only thing I think I was missing was bold necklace, probably including those teal colors. I'll have to look around!

My skirt is the same as the floral skirt in my other post. It can switch from a pencil skirt to a mini! Instead of folding the flap like in the picture, later in the day I folded it inward so the stripes wouldn't conflict with each other. I wore flats because I was at work, but you can always wear a bold heel or sandal that compliments these colors!

Trying Something New!

If anybody knows me, they know that I am far from casual. I do not wear sneakers, t-shirts, etc. Although I'm not wearing sneakers or a t-shirt, this look is super casual for me. As soon as we received this skirt in my store, I had to have it.

I don't typically wear floral print, but I'm trying this year. When we received this skirt, I loved how the colors popped. This skirt is very versatile, I can switch it from a pencil skirt to a mini, just by folding the top over. This jersey knit has a great stretch, making it super comfortable.

 I remembered that I had a tank I had already bought, which went perfect. It's a red-orange color. I wish I had yellow cami too. That color would make the skirt colors pop even more.  The denim vest was must. It is a trend this season. I had to snatch it up quick because I knew that it would be a hot seller, which it was!!
