Orange Sheath + Leopard Heels

by 2 Comments

Sheath dresses are such a great work staple to have in the closet. I have often looked for a good sheath dress but have had a hard time finding one that fit in my price range. When I was searching for an Easter dress this year I came across this nice bright orange sheath dress on sale and snatched it up. The fit was right for my body and the dress wasn’t too short for me to wear to work. Plus, with my love of orange…I just had to have it!
One of the reasons a sheath dress is a great closet staple for someone who works in a professional environment is that it’s easy to dress up a variety of ways. In this post I’ve shown you two ways I would wear this dress and shoe combo. I have no doubt that you will see me wearing it more as the months go on.
As the sun started making a more regular appearance around here I craved brighter, spring colors. But, springtime in Washington state isn’t quite as warm as it looks out the window so I opted for the lace blazer combo to wear to school.
My shoes are old, but I consider a leopard shoe such an important closet staple that I’ve linked a number of other options for you below.

I “like” Instagram

by Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago I saw a picture on my LIKEtoKNOW.it Instagram feed featuring one of my favorite statement necklaces.  (More on that necklace, which has become my OBSESSION, later!) Instagram is a great place to get outfit inspiration. When I first got into fashion I started with Pinterest, which directed me to a few bloggers I liked. Those bloggers had Instagram accounts, which I turned to next. Their pictures gave me inspiration for what I could wear the next day. The great thing about LIKEtoKNOW.it is that bloggers who are signed up for the program load their outfit details and when I “like” their picture on Instagram, I get sent an email with links to the products in the picture. It also keeps a record for me online of the things I “liked” on Instagram so I can go back to review them later.
This outfit idea I stole right from a LIKEtoKNOW.it inspiration photo. Thanks to http://liketoknow.it/alina2189  for the idea and also for encouraging me to take a risk with a new online retailer- sheinside.com. I won’t say I know a lot about the company but I paid $20 and got two great tops. The pieces ship from China so I was skeptical of quality but after receiving multiple emails from LIKEtoKNOW.it with items from  Sheinside, I took the plunge. It took nearly a month to get my items and much longer to get a tracking number than it was supposed to. However, when I got the items they were good quality. I love the website because it gives ideas on how to style the items and reviews from buyers – which helped me know I needed to size up. That being said, if you accept the fact it could take a month to get the items, Sheinside has some great items for great prices.
The fit on the top is a little wider in the waist than I’d like, but the length of the ruffles in back makes up for it. I don’t feel comfortable wearing leggings at school unless I have a long cardigan but the length of the ruffles made me feel comfortable enough to go without a cardigan. Besides, I’m definitely a “ruffle” girl!


Top: Sheinside, here. Order up a size. I am wearing a Large.
Leggings: Ross, similar, similar.
Boots: Calvin Klein, here.
Necklace: Baublebar, here. Color Gold.
Lipstick: Stila, here. Color Patina.
