Body-Con, Cage Heels, Cutouts, Fierce, Sheer, Shoulder Pads, Statement Necklace, Train

This outfit makes me feel like the femme fatale in a James Bond movie. With the shoulder pads, body-con silhouette, cutout sides, and flowing train it’s sexy, edgy, and a little bit unusual. But when paired with my favorite cage heels and a statement necklace, I’m ready to save the world!

Denim Shirt, Floral Denim, Seventies Sandals, Skinnies

For some reason I’ve always been super into floral denim. Shorts, jeans, jackets, I just think it’s a cool combination. As we saw in this post I’m a big fan of unconventional denim and I finally sprung for these light wash floral print skinnies. What do you think, a good buy or too trendy?

bodycon, Bows, Peplum, Red Heels, Rose Print

I couldn’t resist this amazing rose print peplum dress. I love the silhouette and the rich colors in the print. It’s also a knit jersey and super comfortable to wear. And with the adorable red pumps, what’s not to love?

Black Stockings, Booties, Camel, Knit, Sequins, Shine, Sparkle, Sweater Dress

What wardrobe is complete without a little sparkle in it? Trick question, none. I received this dress from OASAP and it instantly satisfied my need for a little shine. It’s the perfect combination of sparkle and easiness with the knit texture and plain back. You can find the dress on the OASAP website here.

My mom made this romper out of a thrifted jumpsuit for my birthday. I love the easy, retro quality of it, and of course it’s sporting my signature black and white polka dots!

The best part about this outfit? My mom also made a matching bow for Coco so we can be fabulous together!
