"Red Stripes.....Remixed"

So I finally was able to wear my favorite "candy cane" dress again.  You may remember it from a post I did a couple of months ago HERE. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how I could wear the dress by dressing it down.

I ran across these shell toe Adidas in my closet that I have literally only wore twice ( I swear this clothes hoarding is going to end in 2013) **heavy sigh** and thought that they would be perfect to pull my casual out of my peplum dress. I added a denim jacket, gold vintage chain, and my custom Melody Eshani gold hoops.

As you can see from my OOTD post they are very much consistent with how this weather in Atlanta is. One week it's 40 degrees and the next weekend it is in the 70's.

So which look do you like the best? What are some other ways I can remix this dress for next time??

"Red Stripes"

As you can probably can tell I am obsessed with anything peplum. Peplum dresses and shirts are flattering to different body types which makes this trend versatile for all sizes.

I found this adorable dress online a couple of weeks ago and couldn't resist. I was hesitant at first because I thought that the stripes might make my big hips look even bigger, LOL but the dress was actually very forgiving.

I love red and white together, but for some reason I always get stuck when trying to figure out what color to wear. I always go for the turquoise green first seen here

I decided to keep my accessories simple since the color and stripes were so bold.

What about you ladies? Do you love the peplum trend as much as I do? Check out some of my other peplum looks here and here

"Spring/Summer Trend: Floral Print"

I have to be honest and say that I have never been a big fan of floral print on myself, but I adore the pattern when I see it on others. Floral print is a popular trend that is continuing into the summer.

Here are some adorable floral print pieces that I found recently that really caught my eye.

I love the cut of the back of this blouse

Great combination of floral and stripes.

This peplum dress in adorable! I convinced my roommate to buy it for a garden tea party bridal shower she had to attend last weekend and it was perfect!

These shorts are a perfect length for me. They can be paired with a solid blazer and platforms,  or a different floral pattern top, the options are endless.

As you know I LOVE Jeffery Campbell shoes. They speak for themselves....

The combination of the high-low and floral pattern is perfect.

"Birthday"

I finally uploaded the pictures that I took when I was in Houston for my birthday. I have been trying to play catch up for the past two weeks, so my schedule has been pretty crazy.

As you all already know I am a certified thrift store junkie. When you find pieces like this, you can see why I get such a high when I go. I found this dress months ago and have wore it to church a couple of times, but decided to change the look so I took it to my alterations lady and had her make it into a sexy mini dress. Thrifting advice I first gave here .

It was pure fashion coincidence that these earrings that I purchased from badacious.com months ago matched perfectly!! The earrings that they design are sick! You can see another pair that I wore here .

The food and wonderful desserts were delicious

Always, always always on the phone...smh

"Peplum Sisters"

I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter weekend! I wanted to share what my roommate and I wore on Easter Sunday. I absolutely LOVE, helping people put looks together and giving styling advice,so when my roommate asked me to help her finish her Easter look I was all in.

We bought our dresses at seperate times, but as you can see peplum and pastels were both on our mind.

I think one of my favorite ways to accesorize, next to colored nail polish is combining brooches.

"Lace, Lace, Lace"

The combination of lace and ruffles is so feminine and pretty to me, so when I ran across this skirt online I immediately fell in love. I decided to be over the top with lace wore two Sundays ago when I went to church.

I've had these shoes for about two years now, and have only wore them maybe five times because they are not 100% comfortable. After an hour I am DONE. I can pretty much rock any inch heel, as long as it is a platform. It's funny because I can rock my Night Walkers alllll night with no problems and they are much higher than these shoes.This shoe is absolutely gorgeous, but heel on this is the pits!! I think I am just going to sell them.

 I found this necklace at a consignment shop years ago. I love the long chain with the pearl in the back that hangs low.
