How I Wear Sequins

Well it's that time again, another BDIB challenge.  This time we are showing how we wear sequins.  I bought this matte sequined top at H&M, and here's how I wore it.  I wore this to work yesterday; please bear in mind that we have a casual dress code at my office :)

 Toggle Sweater Coat: St. John's Bay; Sequined Shirt: H&M; Jeans: 17/21; Mocassins: Target

Lipstick: Kat Von D Foiled Love in FTW; Earrings: Jewelmint


So there sure are a ton of ways to wear sequins, and I'm sure all the other ladies did fabulously as well!  I wanted to show a completely different look with this top and love it; it's very me.  I wanted to dress it way down and wear it like I would a plain t-shirt.  How would you style this for a casual look?

Animality ~ Bloggers Do It Better ~ Animal Instincts

Hello lovelies!  Of course, when Kristina of Pretty Shiny Sparkly posted the newest Bloggers Do It Better challenge, Animal Prints, I was stoked!  So if you know me, simply wearing my Leopard Trench Blouse (seen here) and matching heels (seen here) was not nearly enough.  Since I'm putting myself on shopping restriction this month (more on that later), I had to get creative with what I have.  Of course, last year's fad faux fur vest (which thankfully is still in for this fall) immediately came to mind!  Of course it needed a belt to give me some shape, and I thought I had a little Flintstones look going on, so I topped it off with a chunky faux turquoise necklace.

Vest: TJ Maxx
Jeans: Seven 7
Blouse: Ann Taylor
Belt: NY & Company
Shoes: Banana Republic
Sunnies: Marc Jacobs
Earrings and Gold Tone Bracelet: Jewelmint
Necklace: Forever 21
Wooden Bracelets: Vintage

Guy was giving me a weird look, so I gave him one right back.  So glad JT captured it!

This shot came out blurry but I really love it.

And this one too.

What did you wear for the challenge?  And if you haven't taken part yet, be sure to next time!!

Neon + Neutral

Hello and Happy Friday, lovelies!!!  Today's post is for the Bloggers Do It Better June outfit challenge to wear neons and neutrals. I had this super cute outfit planned out, but I got ready for the pool with the kids and realized hey!  I'm wearing neon and neutral!  So my Bella played photographer for me.  I'm wearing my periwinkle ikat bikini from Target with my OP neon yellow cheetah print burnout coverup from Walmart.  I'm going with the my skin is neutral philosophy here :)

What do you think of my pool-going look?

I'm also linking up to Fashion Friday :)
