OOTD: I'm A Simple Outfit Kind Of Girl

Jeans, cardigans, and I, we go way back. There's nothing I love more than throwing on a comfy pair of jeans, a tank top, and a simple black cardigan. They make me a happy chica! Here are two casual outfits where accessories and shoes can make a difference. Outfit #1 was for a dinner and I wore outfit #2 to the Sassy City Chicks event. I am obsessed with the gladiator sandals. Love them!!

Mixing The Basics: White Ruffles Making A Statement

I love mixing basic colors and making an outfit interesting by layering patterns and textures.

Today I am toughening up my new white ruffled vest with a Leopard scarf and statement necklace.

Flowy white layers of ruffles on my new H&M vest, with the contrasting rough necklace.

Texture Heaven!!

My darling Fashionistas, how do you like to mix up your basics?

Summer Trends: The White Dress

Keep yourself cool this summer with a chic white dress. The thing I love the most about this trend is you can definitely mix it up! It's as easy as adding a colorful accessory, a short sleeved cardigan, flip flops, or whatever you want! Or simply just wear it by itself. It's a no-brainer. Don't you just love easy fashion?

My golden rule: Don't mix up different shades of white, keep it simple.

OOTD: Indie Rock Used To Be My Dirty Pop. Could You Be My Everything?

Last week I recieved a great dress to review from B&LU

I was absolutely thrilled when I received one of B&LU’s new Spring dresses in the mail. I had my eye on the Brietta Dress and I was so excited when I opened my review package and it was inside! The Brietta Dress is a sleeveless, two tone dress consisting of a heathered cream bodice and a denim-looking, black chino skirt. The black crotchet detail on the bodice plays agains the denim-looking skirt and gives it a flirty feminine flair that is great for the season.  The heathered cream bodice is also made of a nice cotton blend stretch and is very comfortable. The elastic band waist is great on the curves and the length is really fun and a bit sexy with its short above the knee length. This outfit is fairly true to size except for in the hips, there is a bit of a stretch but I found it to be a tiny bit tight. If you are on the larger end of the size spectrum and have bigger hips I would reccommend going up a size in this dress for the most comfort and confidence. This dress shipped quickly and got to me in no time and is of a good quality. It is dry clean only which can be a bit of a task but totally worth it in this special classy dress with edge and flair.

I wore this dress bare legged and with my black wedge peep toes. Candace and I took these photos outside The Record Exchange in downtown Boise and it was a great dress for an indie look outside the record store!

Another note about B&LU is Chris the owner is an absolute sweetheart and so easy to work with. Keep up to date on the happs at B&LU by following them on Twitter and Facebook.
