Ultimate Stripes: Sequins & Sleeveless Vest

I absolutely love a sequin dress. I absolutely love stripes. Thus, I absolutely love this striped sequin dress (lol)…I have problems, I know.

Note to my fashionistas on the road to fashionable: Your local Nordstrom rack is your best friend. Which means, it will frustrate you but you should never give up on it because it has its beautiful moments. Take this dress for example, I stalked it, patiently waiting for it to go on sale (which it never did by the way), but since they have really great sales I still would have gotten it. 

But I ran into this beauty at my local Nordstrom rack for about $45.00! I don’t even think I tried it on, I just grabbed it and headed for the exit, afraid that someone would sight me and realize they made an error in pricing lol.

I really wanted to go the expected route and pair this dress with some pumps but I stepped outside and the wind practically chilled my toes off so I headed back in for my midi boots. Which by the way, look better paired with jeans.

What I’m Wearing:

Dress (here, I really love this here) ~ Vest (Also from Eloquii but sold out, similar here and here) ~ Bag (here) ~ Boots (Nordstrom rack sold out)

Vintage…Again: True Blue & White Midi

Yet another vintage coat? Yes indeed! This blue beauty is another on of my thrifted finds. 

Since the weather has taken a break for the better, I decided that showing my legs was not going to result in frostbite and so i did. 

What I’m Wearing:

Coat (thrifted, I like this here, similar color here) ~ Dress (F21 sold out, similar here) ~ Shoes (Smash  Shoes) ~ Watch (here)

Vintage Flair: Michelle & Mustard Coat

Oversized coats are one of my biggest weakness, for various reasons. One, they are a cocoon of warmth during the crazy cold weather. Two, they make any outfit look pretty cool. Three, for the price I find them at…well, it would just be plain stupid not to take advantage. 

I find my colorful, oversized coats at my local thrift stores for really ridiculous prices I must say. Though unfortunately the prices of thrift stores have gone up over the last few years but they are still a steal. I believe I picked up this baby for under $30.00, can’t beat that. Three, vintage coats are made of the good stuff, wool I mean. Not the fluffy things coats are made of these days.

Now to the other star of the day, this suede + mesh bootie that I received from Smash Shoes. This baby is called Michelle and isn’t she gorgeous?! Style and comfort in one sexy package is what I call it because this bootie is super comfortable and I got lots of compliments lol. Amazing thing is, Michelle also comes in black and both come in wide size options as well and goes up to a size 14! Smash Shoes has become one of my go to sites for stylish shoes for my big, wide feet and I already own several of their designs. Only thing is that they can’t seem to make new designs soon enough for me! I stalk them constantly just incase a new design slips me by. So when I got the notice about Michelle here, I was one happy girl. My big footed gals, head over to Smash Shoes and check them out, you will not be disappointed.

Olive Hues: Camo Print & Ruched Jogger

As Spring draws closer, the weather here has been behaving quite well actually. Its really hitting the Spring temperatures during the day here and I am loving it, hopefully it stays that way. 

A good jogger is a pretty much one indispensable item in my closet. I don’t wear it often, but when I do I wonder why I don’t. Confusing? I confused myself for a little bit there too! What I mean is, I don’t wear joggers often but when I do I find that they are super comfortable and give the ultimate “I woke up like this” vibe. Super relaxed, super casual and yet super chic.

Sweater (here) ~ Jogger (here, similar here, love this here) ~ Jacket (old, similar here, love this here) ~ Heels (here) ~ Bag (here)
