free people – Skirts of Urban

Catch Me

As soon as I saw this beautiful 2-piece set on Nordstrom a week before my honeymoon, I immediately bought it. I know it was going to be perfect for the “fancy night” on the cruise!

This beautiful set has vintage feel to it, but also makes me feel like the red dress emoji, you know the one. It kind of reminds of something Allie from The Notebook might wear if she lived in 2017.

I love the way the ruffles on the skirt fall and the deep neckline is the perfect mix of sweet and just a little-bit of sexy underneath all of the material.

I may be late to the game but, have any of you looked at the Sugarfix by Baublebar collection that they have a Target?? I just recently realized they had it at my target and I bought 4 amazing pieces for my honeymoon and I’ve been wearing at least 1 piece every day…soooo good and affordable!!

I haven’t always been the biggest floral fan. But I fell in love with the shape of this dress, and the detailing, and totally looked past the floral. I’m easing my way into florals, I mean it’s spring now after all.

This dress has a very boho vibe, and it’s a little fancier than most dresses I go for. But I wanted to make it more ‘street style’ approved and understated, so I paired it with one of my favorite pairs of sneakers. I also love that the floral is darker, so it’s not over the top girly.

How to keep your florals edgy:

Go darker- opt for darker or more muted florals, or black and white.
Add an unexpected piece- whether it be an edgy jacket (like a leather moto or a bomber jacket), or an unexpected shoe- like sneakers or cool booties.
Play with accessories- play with cool sunnies, and opt for jewelry like a mens-style watch, or chokers, also…a good neck scarf never hurt anyone 😉

I’m kind of just over winter at this point, as most of us are. In louisiana the past 2 weeks it’s been a cool (sarcasm) 80 degrees..so it’s already feeling like spring.

I wanted to make this look lighter and brighter with my white accessories to get me into the spring mood.

Bell sleeves and flares just make me happy.

We all know thigh-high boots can be tricky to wear and if paired a certain way… a little scandalous.

When wearing thigh-high boots, it’s all about balance. For example, pairing thigh-high’s with body hugging, or revealing clothing could be a little much for the day time. To keep cozy, and keep a good balance to the outfit, I wore this oversized, boyfriend-cardigan as a warm and snuggly dress! To show just a little bit of skin ( and to see I actually do have legs, and that my body isn’t just a uniboot under the cardigan/dress ), I un-buttoned the last button.
