OOTD: Our World Is Spinning At The Speed Of Light

Bet you all didn’t know that I have 4 tattoos. I’m sure you have all noticed the leaf on my arm, and maybe even those of you who look closely and pay attention have seen the butterfly I have had on my shoulder since I was 18 but I also have another two that are a bit more hidden. I will admit that I do have a tramp stamp (i was 19 years old give me a break) that is the Chinese symbols for eternal love and anyone who has seen me in a pair of low-rise jeans has seen that one too. My fourth tat however is bit more a secret and has only been seen by partners in the bedroom and of course when I have had too much tequilla at the bar HA!

Before I got married to my ex husband I was parting it up and celebrating the end of an era of me being single with my girlfriends. I was only 20 at the time and really the eldest out of all my friends so we couldn’t hit he bars and go through the real tiara wearing, free shots bachelorette party routines like most girls. Instead we hit up a resturaunt with a live band and on our way back to our cars passed a tattoo parlor. Well I got the crazy idea to get a new tat to always remember the evening with my girlfriends and they all chipped in a paid for it.  When I was little I loved the Care Bears and have always considered myself a female version of Bedtime Bear (I LOVE TO SLEEP) so I figured what do all Care Bears have? Well those of you that know your 90′s cartoons know its hearts on their hineys! I too became a Care Bear that night and have the cute pink heart on my booty to prove it!

Ok so what the hell does this little anecdote have to do with my Outfit Post today? Well that great pink and green building behind me is the very tattoo parlor where I dropped my pants and took it like the sassy lady I am!

I have been wanting to showcase this great Leopard Dress from Torrid for a long time and have just been waiting for the right day to do it! I call this my FUCKING PARTY DRESS and always feel like an animal in it, hence the Ke$ha “Animal” lyrics. I picked this dress up before a trip with Nightrider last September and have sported it a number of times since then. I have worn this dress to bars, parties and even in the office a time or two. In this look I paired it with my black ankle lace leggings also from Torrid and my black bow tie heels from Shoe Carnival.

This outfit always makes me feel fierce, hot, and like a million bucks! All women should have a dress that makes them feel a bit wild and remember the more wild memories in their lives. Tell me about yours!

OOTD: Leopard and Studs, Perfectly Suited


Well, hello there! Peacock-happy!


Today I was feeling confident in a leopard blue dress and a studded bolero jacket, not a bad thing during a challenging day at work!

I reworked the top of the dress from a halterneck to a sweetheart neckline because this accents my hourglass shape where the halterneck just made me look top heavy.  I used the leftover material for a waistband.
The bolero jacket used to be a suit jacket, but now it`s been cropped, tailored to hug my curves and studded by yours truly.


Statement studs, originally part of the neckline of the dress that was left over when I made one dress out of two:



Oh, and before I started stripping the studs off the neckline it made a very nice talking piece! (remember that post?)



... but is it art? :D


I love reworking and reusing loved pieces, and had fun adding studs to my bolero, mirroring the grey leopard spots on the dress.

Do you like to tailor fashion to suit your body better? Tell me how!

OOTD: It's A Lovely Thing, The Animal Instinct

I featured this dress a couple of weeks ago as a DWD because I was so excited about ordering it! I love a great animal print dress and Torrid never lets me down when it comes to these type of pieces!

I couldn’t be happier with this dress, it fits like it was made for me and even though it has a plunging neckline it has extra fabric on the bust that keeps it down on your breasts just showing the perfect amount of cleavage. This dress is cotton and super comfortable and has a diamond hem that gives it some extra dimension as well as a fitted waist and side ties that make it fit any body perfectly!

I love the way this dress fits, looks and feels. It is seriously so comfortable but so edgy and trendy as well! I wore this dress with simple black leggings also from Torrid (it’s still a bit chilly out) but could easily wear it with bare legs for summer too. I paired it with my black canvas wedges from Payless. When I wore this to the office I added on the black cardi from Torrid as well.  The bracelet I am wearing is from designer Amy Radue and is on of my new favorite accessories!

Candace and I had a great time shooting this fun outfit with a great pin-up vibe outside Ink Vision Tatoo in Boise!

I feel so good in this dress and I think it shows!  What do you think, am I rocking the cheetah print or what?
