My Secret to Feeling Polished...
FullSizeRender.jpg

Hey Ya'll!

I'm back with some fashion and faith inspo for you! The thing I love about getting dressed is that it instantly lifts my mood. I am a huge proponent for the notion that you should always look your best. You never know who God will put on your path, so it's best to leave your home looking the part everyday. Some days will call for workout gear, while others call for a dress shirt and pants. The important thing is how you put yourself together. The goal for me is that I am always put together and confident, regardless of what I have on.

What has happened to me in the past is that I always run into someone I know, or someone important when I look 'bummy'. I always kick myself after the encounter wishing I had put the extra effort into how I looked before leaving the house. I also wanted to remind you all that it is not about how much you spend on your clothing (although there are some exceptions to this thought), but how you pair items.

This affordable dress and pair of shoes was paired with a luxury handbag and bracelet.  When all the pieces come together you'd think I spent a whole lot on the look. (I'll do another post in the future about what you should spend more money versus less money on...)

Ultimately, though, you want to work on feeling good from the inside out. In my opinion, it's hard to work on your confidence without first having identity. For me, I find identity in who God says I am. On days when I feel horrible or less than confident, I reflect on what He says about me. 

His word says, "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works my soul knows it very well". (Psalms 139; 13-14, ESV)

LPD = Little Pink Dress

Hey My Fashionistas,

IMG_3495.PNG

I've got another Zaful find for you today!

It is my opinion that every gal needs a little pink dress in her closet. Why? Because some days you want to feel both striking and soft. This is especially possible when you have a great quality LPD. Zaful delivers again with this super comfortable and supportive pink mini body-con!

I've been stepping out of my comfort zone lately and doing more form-fitting clothes, despite my reservations about my body. Every time I take a risk I feel more empowered to embrace my body and continue to work toward my ultimate goals. Ultimately, I want to lose about 10 more pounds and tone up my muscles. I want to tighten up my abs and reduce the cellulite on my legs. In the mean time, I try to make smart outfit choices while still being bold. 

Oh, and shape-wear is a must! I've been loving my Bellefit corset for outfits that are fitted on top and loose at the bottom. For a dress like this, I use a torso-to-thigh shaper like this one.

This dress is made of polyester and spandex  fabric, but feels very high quality. It is super stretchy and the material reminds me of shape wear. It is finely ribbed and does not reveal any lumps or bumps! I paired it with my favorite over-the-knee boots of the moment, to make it more Winter appropriate. I loved the end result! 

They've got some more sizes in stock again, so hurry before you miss this one!

Bodycon Dress Postpartum?

Hey Friends, 

Today, I am showcasing this lovely dress from Zaful. It’s a soft blue dress that’s perfect for date night in the Fall & Winter months. It’s a nice stretchy material and I’m wearing a size XL. It is pretty true to size for me,  but it didn't turn out as loose as the model on the site. What I got was a super cute bodycon dress. I was really nervous about being photographed in a dress like this, as I am still working on my mommy tummy. I also recently found out that I have diastasis recti (a separation of the abdominal muscles), so the road to a toned tummy will take a bit longer than I had anticipated.

I've been seeing a physical therapist in working to regain strength in my body (will share more about this in a later post), and I am hopeful that I will continue to get healthier and toner as time moves on. Something else that has helped me lose a ton of inches (aside from breastfeeding) is eating clean and drastically reducing animal and animal by-products from my diet. The only 'meat' my family and I have now is seafood, in moderation, of course. So, I am definitely NOT where I want to be physically speaking, but I am so much healthier today. There's no going back after posting myself in a bodycon dress!!

Fashion Trends of the Moment

Hey everyone,

I'm back with another fashion post! I am featuring Zaful again, as I have been partnering with them as of late. This post is all about some of the most note-worthy trends this season. Don't worry, I've got you covered; the items are linked! Enjoy the post and leave your thoughts below! What's your favorite fashion trend this season? Personally, I am really into over-sized outerwear right now. 

 

1. Over-sized/ Long Outerwear

 

 There is something very chic about an over-sized coat or jacket. Throwing on an over-sized coat atop a dress or a top and jeans creates interest, edge, and a bit of mystery. 

2. Over-the-Knee Boots  

 

I love that these come in so many varieties. Stiletto, chunky heels, high heels, flats, opened toes,  pointed toes, rounded toes, etc. You can dress them up or down. A great pair of OTK boots are a great default for all of your fall and winter outfits. 

3. Faux fur details

 

Nothing days glamour like fur. If you want that effortless 'wow' factor, try some faux fur details this Fall and Winter season.  Faux fur is a trendy way to look fabulous whilst protecting animal rights. 

 4. Plaid/tartan

 

What I love about this runway craze is the androgynous feel of a tartan or plaid clothing item. There’s also something so polished about plaid. 

5.  Fray Hemmed Jeans

 Now, this is one trend I never thought would be a ‘thing’. I certainly never pictured wearing jeans that looked like this in any capacity other than a show. But fray hem jeans are a new trend making ‘waves’ in the fashion community. Done correctly they are, surprisingly, clever. 

Don't forget to check out Zaful for these amazing pieces at a great price!

1986...Flashback to my favorite year ;)

Hi Everyone,

This edgy t-shirt dress is from Zaful!! When I first saw it on the website I was drawn to it because it was casual with a bit of roughness, and it could be dressed up. After I received my package, I noticed the date read 1986...my birth year! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I wore it for brunch with the fam last weekend and I felt chic, yet comfy. The perfect combo! It’s also a great piece for the fall!

I paired the dress with these laser-cut booties from Charlotte Russe. Get the shoes here.

Oh, hey Fall!

I had to find a setting fitting enough for this dress! This construction dumpster and rock pile really paint the picture I wanted to depict. 

Zaful has a great selection of Fall apparel for sale now. Click the photo to start building an awesome Fall wardrobe.
