Embellished Tops

It's very important whenever you are shopping to go to the dressing room and try things on.  Even if you think that the garment you are trying on is a bit out of your comfort zone in terms of style.  This top is the perfect example.  On the hanger, it doesn't look like anything interesting even though the petal decoration and embellishment can be a step up to just having a baby blue tee in your closet.  Theoretically, it could be good for your closet but when looking at it, it just looks ugly.

Now, when I see this top on the model it looks totally different and in a good way.  It looks cute and it's a must have.  I would certainly rather have this top than just a regular tee.  It just adds that little extra something that I need.

Therefore, if you ever find yourself taking a second look at anything just grab into the dressing room and give it a try, because you just never know and that's your good news.

It's a very simple gray dress and instead of pairing it with a cami for coverage. I paired it with a boat-neck top with 3 quarter sleeves. I completed this outfit with my gap wedges and jewelry from Jewelry Television (Ring, Bracelet and necklace).

Anthropologie

Spring is here and I can't stop thinking about spring dresses.

So, on my way to returning the seedling halter dress@ Anthropologie I couldn't help but browse around the store for more dresses. I saw these 2 dresses.

I like this dress but I don't love it. I think its because the middle belted section should be in one solid color to give it a more regal look.
I do love this green eyed dress with the scarf detail because it's free flowing and hides the tummy if you have one. The scarf makes the dress convertible. It can be worn as a halter or a strapless.

**For a more night time look replace the scarf with a black ribbon, put on your favorite black shoes, and grab your clutch.

Green Vs. Yellow

On a previous post I was completely in love with the green swirl dress from Anthropologie. I had an event to go to and I was just browsing on the net for ideas on what to wear. I headed to Anthropologie and picked up 2 dresses.

The seedling halter dress & The seven hills dress

I didn't like the seedling halter dress for a few reasons, starting with that fact that it did not flatter my chest area. 2. The swirl print from top to bottom was a total distraction. It felt like too much was going on. 3. It was pinching my outer chest area, and 3. the belt did not sit naturally at the waist. 4. Lastly, their was not enough volume on the skirt and I wanted more of an A-line silhouette.
The seven hills dress worked much better. 1. It was not the washed out color the website made it to be, it's actually a beautiful bright spring yellow that is perfect for a party in the Caribbean. 2. The v-neck at the chest area brings the focus upwards and brightens up the face, 3. It also narrows the waist, as so does the empire cut of the dress. 4. An finally I found the skirt had the volume I was looking for.

Overall, I am extremely happy with my yellow dress and in the process of returning the green swirl dress.

The God Mother...

My Godson's 1st Birthday party is on March 17th. The birthday party is in a tropical island. There will be about 100 families there and it seems as if it will be a grand event. I have no idea what to where. But I like this dress from Anthropologie for $118.

I don't want to be under-dressed or over-dressed. Any outfit suggestions under $120??
