Pink is a universal color that looks good on almost everyone, including the gentlemen.  Some shades definitely pop more so than others.  I truly love the dramatic look of fuchsia pink, it is vibrant and makes a very bold statement, where as the softer pink is very classic and timeless. In today's post I am giving you two different looks with two different shades of pink. The first look has a sassy and bold appeal.  I paired my long sleeve shift dress with some leggings and black knee high boots with gold accents.  This fuchsia shade definitely pops and makes a statement that definitely needs no introduction.  Where as the second look, has a touch of classy sophistication appeal to it.  The soft pink top finished off with a faux leather pencil skirt, pearls and ankle strap heels gives you subtle sexy look.  Here's a peek at the outfits I pulled together.  

Last week I was crazy busy with work, events and errands so I didn't have a chance to blog on the weeks attire.  Today is a quick post on what I wore.  I have to say my favorite is the kelly green and navy blue shift dress.  I just love that color against my skin tone and the dress is very simple and functional.  I will definitely be on the lookout for more of its kind in my future shopping ventures.  You will notice that I always switch up my looks, it's not accidental either, as my moods change and I love to have variety when playing dress up.  Here's a peek at the weeks fits.   Keep reading for details.

This is just a quick post of the weekend OOTD's.  It was a weekend filled of errands, shopping & girl time with one of good friends.  Never a dull moment and definitely always a reason to get dressed as you never know what the day will bring.  As I always say everyday is a great occasion to get dressed; so if it seems that I may not hold back, you are absolutely right, because if I waited for a special day or event to wear some things, they may never make it out of my closet.  So here is peek at a couple days wardrobe ensembles.

One of my favorite colors during this time of year is hunter green.  As the weather begins to cool and the holiday season rolls in, something about this color puts me in a warm spirit.  I can never find it as often as I like but when I do I am sure to snatch it up as it is a very flattering color on brown skin tones. I found this great dress at the Dillard's clearance center on one of my random shopping days that I was on the hunt for something else.  I was actually looking for another dress in the same color and had no luck, but then this little Kenneth Cole number jumped out at me and I was so excited.  I love the zipper detail in the back, as it adds a nice accent to a simple body flattering dress.  Sometimes it doesn't take much to make a powerful statement and this dress does the trick.  From the color, to the detail, to the fit, I know that I found a classic and timeless piece that will have a place in my closet for awhile. I completed this outfit...

I am definitely a fan of wearing things that accentuate your shape, however sometimes a fun flowing dress is the way to go.  They can serve purposes, such as hiding trouble areas or even if you just want to wear something loose and comfortable because your having one of those days.  Some people may feel like they are wearing a sac, but if you accessories properly you will have a nice, fun and flirty outfit that makes you look and feel great.  I think they are a good choice if you need something quick and easy to run errands in, lunching with friends, shopping, or even for traveling.   Today I decided to pair my dress with another great pair of over the knee DV boots that I purchased a few fall seasons ago, along with my cut up sleeve blazer.  It is the perfect outfit for my day, as I handle business and then have plans to meet my girlfriend for dinner later in the evening.  Hears a peak at how I pulled together today's OOTD.  

Sometimes you need your outfit to take you from business during the day, to a fun evening out after work.  As a woman on the go I don't always have time to go back home and change in between my days events, I try to get dressed with that in mind that, so that when I have to make the superman change it is as painless as possible. Today's outfit of the day was the the difference between wearing leggings for the day and then replacing them with some suede over the knee boots for after work fun.   An easy fix that can be done in the car if you are running short on time to your destination. I love wearing black and white with a touch of red.  It's a simple and classic combo that truly gives a bold, sassy yet polished statement.  I paired a tunic dress with some leggings and red blazer, finished off with a pair of red patent heels, to handle my days business.   The after five option, whether you are meeting your girlfriends, going to a fun event, or even have a date...
