Open-Back Dress

Dress: Ruche, Shoes: Sole Society, Jacket: NY&Co.

First, I'd like to apologize for not showing off the best part (my favorite part) of this dress. I mean, it's the one detail that made me realize I need this dress in my life.  I'll admit, I got lazy. Putting on the "sticky-booby" bra was just going to be too much work. Maybe I should also apologize to Drew for keeping my hair in the ever so messy knot-do for our date night before his weekend away. Anyway, I'll just share one of our engagement photos with you so you get the true feel for this ADORABLE dress...

Colorful

Top & Shoes: Target / Skirt: Kohl's / Necklace & Clutch: Charming Charlie

This is an outfit from last weekend. One of my favorite party skirts!   My necklace and top don't really match the colors in the skirt. But hey, it works! I don't have to be matchy matchy all the time.

I had another successful work event last week in good old Cincinnati!  It was a one day retail design event focused on Millennials. I loved lisetening to what all the GenX and Baby Boomers had to say about us Millenials. All of it so true (creepy).  Event #4...SUCCESS!

Drew and I had our engagement photos taken this weekend. They were so much fun and I can't wait to see the finished product.  I wasn't as camera shy as I thought I would be.  Maybe I'll venture outside someday soon for blog pics.

I'll be sure to share the photos as soon as we get them back!

Something Old & Blue

Dress: Kohl's - Lauren Conrad

Belt: TJ Maxx

Necklace: Charming Charlie

Shoes: Shoe Dazzle

Oh I love the color of this dress! So much fun! I pulled this little number from the back of my closet to wear for my best friend Jayme's birthday.  I think I stood in my closet for a good hour trying on different dresses before I decided on this one.   I picked it up at Kohl's a couple of years ago for Jayme's birthday and paired it with black shoes and silver jewlery. Just add different accessories and you have a whole new outfit!  Boom. While these shoes aren't the best for my dangerously good dance moves, they were the perfect touch for this outfit.

Cardigan: Loft

Dress: Target

Bracelets: Loft & Forever21

Shoes- Kohl's: Lauren Conrad

Belt: Thrifted

Necklace: Charming Charlie

Oh how I love warm weather.  You can't go wrong with a simple Summer dress like this one.  It goes with just about anything and it's so easy! I picked this dress up on sale at Target last summer for a super cheap price.  Gotta love Target sales!

This is another one of my sock bun attempts.  I had to keep stuffing my hair back in it all day. It was so frustrating. I think I need to try a thicker sock next time.  Have you had any luck with the sock bun?

Woman Problems

Dress: H&M

Cardi/Shoes/Tights/Scarf: Target

I absolutely love the color of these tights. The only problem is everytime I put them on with an outfit it never looks as good as I imagined. I hate that. I'm sure every woman has these issues. Just because it sounds faboulus in your head doesn't mean it looks fabulous on. Those are the days I'm usually late for work. This outfit is on of the few positive outcomes.

A Year in Review: Part 1

Yesterday was my 1 year blog-iversary! Whoa that flew by! To celebrate a great year of blogging, I thought I'd review my top 12 favorite outfits. One for each month of posting.  

Month 1

As you can tell by the picture quality, this was one of my very first outfit posts.  I loved the neutral mix with the blue top and green shoes.

 

Month 2

I remember being so excited about wearing these leopard print shoes for the first time.  I love the way the black tights make the leopard pop!

 

Month 3

Oh this dress and shoes!!  It has an amazing zipper down the back of it.  I remember feeling like hot stuff the night I wore this out. Nothing like a dress that makes you feel amazing!

 

Month 4

In Vegas! I met MC Hammer in this little number.  LOVE IT.

 

Month 5

This outfit shows off a classic Ang look.  One of my favorite skirts!

Month 6 

I haven't worn this dress since this night.  I quickly remembered how much I love this thing.  I need another girls night so I can wear it again! Oh and the shoes! LOVE!

Imagine that, all skirts and dresses! HA!  Stay tuned for outfits 7-12 tomorrow!

Good night!

The Prefect Dress

Dress: H&M

Necklace: Avon

Bracelette: Charming Charlie

Shoes: Steve Madden

I know, I'm too dressed up. I just can't hide the fact that I love to dress up all the time. I decided to just lay it all out there today on my second day. I wore this outfit on my last day of work with Kroger and never had a chance to snap pictures.  I couldn't let it go unseen. I can't get enough of this dress. Regardless of how much static it attracts, it's perfect.

Happy New Year!

Dress: Modcloth

Shoes: Diba - DSW

Belt: Target

Tights: NY&Co. 

Bracelets: Mixture of Grandmother and Charming Charlie

As you can see I switched up the outfit idea.  I ended up buying these shoes at DSW with the gift card my dad gave me for Christmas. Thanks Pops! NYE was wonderful! We had dinner with friends and then a long night out dancing. My feet were killing me by the end of the night. 

I hope everyone had a lovely NYE.  This is going to be a big exciting year for Drew and I! I can't wait!  Next to the usual get in shape and eat healthier new year resolution, I think my biggest is to make more time for family and friends.  

How about you? What's your new years resolution??

Counting Down

Dress: Express

Tights: NY &Co.

Boots: Alloy

Belt: Target

Necklace: Charming Charlie

5 days left at Kroger, 18 days until my exam,  20 days until I start my new job.  A bit overwhelming.  I'm stressed about the test, emotional about leaving my Kroger family, and nervous about my new career adventure. I just want to say thanks to my friends, you too Drew, who have been there for me lately. You know who you are.  I feel so lucky to have people in my life that care so much.  Heartchoo.

Winter will no longer frustrate me with shoe limitations! I used to dread the winter months thinking I'd have to push most of my favorite shoes to the back of the closet until the next spring. Have you tried it yet?  Nervous about trying it?  I challenge you to give it a shot this week!  Link up and show me what how you styled your tights with open toe or strappy shoes.

Ready for The Weekend!

Dress: Forever21

Jean Jacket: NY & Co.

Scarf & Boots: Target

Tights & Socks: Kohl's

I feel somewhat guilty for making this an outfit post.  You've seen this dress with every item I'm wearing just not simultaneously.  Like I've mentioned a billion times before, this is my go to dress. 

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend planned!  Drew and I are going on a date night to my absolute favorite restaurant, Local 127.   He's been out of town over the past couple of days so I'm really looking forward to this night out with him.

xoxo

Too Much Food

 Dress: Forever 21

Jacket: Kohl's

Shoes: Old Navy

Scarf: H&M

Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving.  Drew and I had 4 Thanksgiving meals that day. Yes, four. We weighed ourselves when we got home just for giggles.  It wasn't so funny when I saw the results.  3lbs for me and 4 for him.  Combined that's the size of a baby.  Phew.  Good thing I wore this comfy dress all day. Plenty of room for stuffing and turkey.

On top of all the Thanksgiving hooplah, we went cupcake tasting this weekend.  I'll let the picture do the talking.
