The Latest: {Lace Detail}

I adore this dress because of the lace panels on the sides, it adds just the right amount of femininity to this classic shift silhouette.

The Latest: {Out of the Box}

Not every person would think this look is out of the box, but a year ago I would have had the mindset that this was a "daring" look. Since creating this blog early this year I was very much a "safe" dresser, I didn't try anything too far from the ordinary and was seemingly hesitant about the idea.  Now I can say that I've mixed prints, have worn more color and have tried to have more of an appreciation that clothing can "go-together" instead of matching perfectly.  This look is slightly a farther departure from my ordinary and I love looking back on this blog as I've slowly refined my style.

Style File: {Peplum}

Peplum, it's definitely been on trend since it's exposure on the fashion scene but I have to admit that I have yet to try it.  Here are a few budget friendly picks that have inspired me to try peplum out pretty soon, all under $50!
