Black Lace

Black brings out the edgy side of me, I think. I naturally gravitate towards lighter and brighter colors, but as the season begins to change, I know I can’t be wearing neon colors. Black and white is SO classic. It seems like everything comes in black and white, therefore making it so easy to put together something to wear in these contrasting colors.

This top is see through and could have (should have?) been worn with a back tank underneath, but the lace detail automatically becomes less visible with a tank under, so I went on without it and I’m so happy I did! This was taken in warmer weather, but for a chilly night, I’d pair this top with this black biker jacket.  I opted for these distressed jeans again. I do have a pair that isn’t distressed, but I thought this pair made me look a little more relaxed. Heels are so fun to wear, and I almost chose black booties for this look, but these heels made me feel a little more feminine. Also, I automatically feel a million times more classy when my heels don’t have a platform, though both styles are in my closet! What makes you feel edgy?

Pink Princess Party

My niece’s first birthday party was a beautiful success! Classes were cancelled for 3 days since Hurricane Harvey posed a threat to the area I’m located. This gave me a chance to escape to my home town and help my sister decorate. Let’s just say she couldn’t have done it without me (ok ok she probably could have). I was so excited to put up pink and white decorations and make everything look princess worthy.  I have 5 nieces and nephews but this niece is special because I was present the day of her birth. I held her tiny little body in my arms just a couple hours after she was born and now here I am celebrating her first year of life!

The party was initially a Mexican Fiesta theme with bold colors and I was stressing over what to wear. Later, I get an update that the party theme changed to Pink Princess and I had a sigh of relief. There just so happens to be an excess of pink in my closet and I think this pink ruffle top makes me look like a responsible aunt. These white jeans were sooo stretchy and allowed me to bend down to pick up my niece and also eat all the birthday cake I wanted. Hope ya’ll enjoy this girly look!
