Royal blue is one of favorite colors when it comes to fashion.  I absolutely love how this color compliments and pops on brown skin tones.  It truly speaks for itself and is a definite must have in your wardrobe rotation. Today's outfit is a simple pairing of a blouse and white fitted skirt, finished off with an accent necklace, a couple bangles and some pointy toe heels.  It doesn't take much to make an outfit speak volumes, and this was achieved with what I can consider an easy every day uniform; if you had to choose one to be professional yet sassy and ready to handle your business for the day on into the evening happy hour.  You can never go wrong with a skirt and blouse combo.  Here is a peek at the OOTD.

It doesn't take much to brighten things up.  Sometimes just a little pop of color here and there can make all the difference in the world.  Red is definitely my go to color for added accent pops.  Whether a red lipstick, shoe, scarf or even a necklace, it is just enough to make everything a little more exciting. Today's outfit was basic black and white, so I added my Ruby Woo red lipstick and my pointy toe suede Enzo pumps to give it a little umph.  It's just that simple. Here's a peek at the day's ensemble.

Who said track pants couldn't be chic?  While I love dresses and skirts,  a few great pair of pants is a definite must in any wardrobe.  Today's outfit was built around a printed track pant.  They can be dressed up or dressed down depending on the accessories and shoes you pair them with.  On a more casual occasion I might pair them with a simple tank and some flat open toe sandals.  However, today I decided to go a little more chic and pair them with a white vest, white tank and my favorite dark natural heels.  I topped it off with silver mesh style necklace and complimenting cuff. With the weather still being quite hot in my city, this is the perfect outfit to handle my days business, keeping a professional appearance, while still staying cool.  Here's a peek at today's OOTD.

I will admit, I do have expensive taste, but that doesn't mean I like the expensive tags that come along with some of the items I lust after.  I've been blessed with the talent and patience to shop around extensively and truly find the best bargains on a lot of the pieces in my closet.  Today's post reflects one of my jackpot outings, where I was able to clean up at a discount store and walk out with some great finds for 75% off the regular price.  Don't sleep on bargain shopping. Today's post is a sassy and amazingly comfortable, short sleeve front slit dress from ivy & blu.  I love this dress because it is stretchy, allowing me to be chic while still giving me flex room to multi-task with the days duties.  This brand can be found at Dillards as well as Amazon, but I did snag this particular dress at the clearance center.  I finished the look with a pair of ankle strap heels, also a super bargain friend from DSW.  Here's a peak at the post of the day.
