Splurge VS Steal: DVF Drop Waist Dress

splurgevssteal

Splurge: DVF vs Steal: Topshop

Drop waist dresses are very “in” this upcoming season – and I’m loving every bit of it! Here’s how I would wear the major steal:

Outfit 1 (left) // blouse: forever 21, purse: ASOS, shoes: Forever 21.

Paired a white blouse tied at the waist over the dress to give off the illusion of top + skirt. Add a finishing touch of summer with a straw bag & nude wedges. This can easily be taken from a work outfit to a night out afterwards or even for a weekend brunch!

Outfit 2 (right) // jacket: Topshop, purse: ASOS, shoes: Converse.

This is definitely my inner tomboy curating this outfit! I love how the lady like pieces (dress and purse) are contrasted by the boyish cargo jacket and converse sneakers. I SOOOO want this whole outfit!

It’s Monday.

it’s monday. it’s the last month of school. it’s time to dress in comfortable library attire without lookin’ like a fool.

Now that my final semester of college is coming to a quick end, the projects and studying for final exams are getting the best of my brain this month. I didn’t have enough time this AM to shoot today’s outfit, but here’s a mock up. I’m loving side split maxi skirts a lot lately. You’ve seen me wear them here and here. They’re fun, they’re casual, and a little spicey! I paired mine with a Forever 21 white tee, turquoise necklace, Michael Kors bag, and my Shoe Privee heels.

That being said… let’s get the week started with a Splurge VS Steal action.

Splurge: Michael Kors. Steal: Forever 21.

I spotted this steal over the weekend while I was browsing shopping at Forever 21. Once I picked it up, all I could see was the Michael Kors Jet Set Tote. Minus the fact that it comes with silver detailing instead of gold. But who cares! It’s a $30 bag compared to $200. With that kind of steal, you got yourself a new purse and some extra spending money for what you’ll get this MK bag for. Now that’s a good dosage of happiness to cure the Monday blues. Don’t you say?

Style Challenge: Day Three

Today’s look: The Finale to this week’s style challenge…ITS FRIDAY. It’s time to let your hair down and have a fun night out on the town!

Add ons: Forever 21 Sequin Sleeved Blazer (Still available online!), Steve Madden Heels.

This was the funnest part of the style challenge. Finding an outfit that is perfect for a night out is easy, but to find one that stands out is the tough/fun part. This jacket does it all for me. And for only under $40, you can’t pass up on a deal like this. You can throw it together with jeans, a v-neck tee, and flats or with a simple solid skater dress like this one from ASOS.

I bet now you’re thinking of creating your own style challenge with your closet. I’d love to see what you come up with!

Hope you have a great Easter weekend! XOXO
