Color Blocking Made Easy

With all the online shopping I've been doing recently, I couldn't help but notice all the color blocked dresses I was seeing.  So dolls, have you been color blocking?  Now that spring has sprung, this trend has certainly stuck around since last fall and I couldn't help but resist so I just had to get my hands on a cute little color blocked number that popped!



I purchased the dress above from GoJane after I had finally found the Laced Bodycon dress from Forever 21.  What I loved about this dress in particular were the sleeves having wide buttoned cuffs and not to mention, they are actually slit through from the shoulder on down to the cuffs exposing the arm which I think is very appealing. The tie at the waist just adds that touch of cuteness to it as well. There was also a coral color, however green is actually one of my favorite colors so I just had to go with this one. What color shoes should I match with this? Nude pumps?

There was another dress that I originally had been eyeing which was a two-fer chiffon, but sadly there was only a size large left darn! I had contacted the folks from GoJane to see if they would get any more in stock, but unfortunately they weren't sure so I went with my second option which was the green dress above.  The color of the dress below is so adorbs! I tried to see if any other places sold this, but no luck. 



According to the tracking information, I should be getting both the Forever 21 and GoJane packages by tomorrow.  I did happen to get my suspender tights in this morning which I was very happy to receive.  After heading to the front office and to be only informed that there was no package up front, I completely forgot to check my mailbox! Uh duh! Hey, I didn't think they would fit in there, but they actually did hah! The folks at the front office must be tired of seeing me plopping in for packages on the daily, lol! At least I'm giving them a break from whatever they're doing on the computers, right? Haha...


I did try one of them on and was super careful not to snag them with my finger nails. Yes, I purchased two as a backup and luckily it fit me very well! At first, I wasn't sure what size to purchase, however I used the brand's size chart and it matched me according to my weight and height and it was perfect!  I'd have to say, this was shipped to me rather quickly and I'm pretty satisfied with it.  Thank you Stylish Fox!




BTW, I also purchased two pairs of Laced Boots! Gosh, get me away from the computer! LOL!  My reason for purchasing these in black and brown was because both my suede boots were wearing out and I wanted a cute replacement. Plus they were both for a steal! Can't beat $16!  My other black boots were actually purchased from GoJane as well and they lasted me for a while! I used them for motorcycle riding and work because they were that comfortable and versatile! I think these would go great with a pair of black leggings or a pair of skinny jeans.  

Unfortunately, I haven't quite found rain boots yet, but I'm hoping the storms will subside especially with that huge tornado that just hit Dallas recently! Yikes!!! Thank God we were 4 hours away from that!!! Today's a sunny day in H-Town and I'm praying the future days ahead will continue to look just as bright!

Now I can't wait to get my packages tomorrow!!! I'm just dying to try them on! :) More updates to come!

Love Me or Love Me Not


After visiting the mall and doing 
a little window shopping, I gasped 
after seeing that a new shoe store 
had opened up. Having learned it
was a sister shop to Langford Market,
- a boutique featuring 
many cute, vintage, boho, mod and
sophisticated wardrobes, I just
had to stop in. 

Immediately in love with several 
of their boots, a sweet employee 
had assisted me for over twenty 
minutes as I was having trouble deciding
which ones I liked best. A pair of long 
boots that I had been wanting
for so long or ankle boots that
I never thought to add to my wishlist 
because I had never imagined myself 
wearing them? Well love me or love me not, after trying them on, I went 
with a pair of taupe versatile ankle boots that go great with any pair of 
skinny jeans or even a cute dress! I was really happy with my purchase 
as these shoes are super light and incredibly comfortable!


When I bought these
shoes, the outfit I 
intended to wear with 
it was exactly what I put together 
below. As I mentioned above,
these boots go great with any pair 
of skinny jeans by which 
I chose a pair of H&M's. 
I love love love silk and sheer 
shirts as it brings me back to 
my nostalgic elementary school 
days when suede boots, teased up
bangs and The New Kids were 
the coolest On The Block (NKOTB).

Now to save some mula for that Marc
Jacobs Leather Satchel!
