Wrapped in Roses

Happy Thursday everyone! Here in Indy we've got some major storms rolling in, which I am all for! I love stormy weather on occasion. It can be so relaxing with that gray haze in the air and the ominous sound of thunder from miles away. I've been in a grumpy mood today, so a nice stormy day to reflect my mood is quite perfect!

Today's look is kind of a throwback, but not...the throwback is that last year a post featuring my bestie Mia featured the same dress in blue. This dress is back on the market at Gap this year, so I had to snatch it up. So mine is new, but the style is throwback..does that work? I love this fit and flare style, because tunic styles look absolutely ridiculous on my body shape (paper bag style, anyone?). Fit and flare works well for athletic girls, because it adds some curves and adversely it is great for girls with some curves, like me, because it cinches at the waist and flares out over the booty! Holler to the girls with a booty, cheers to the struggle!

Ready, Set, Holiday!

Since the holidays are upon us I have decided to post a holiday party look each week. The great thing about a holiday party is it's typically the one time your co-workers get to see you all dolled up, add some spiked egg-nog and you are golden. Here is one look for a holiday party. I paired an LBD with leather paneling along with a gold flake cropped cardigan. When dressing for a party it's always great to have a focused piece, with this outfit it is the gold jacket. The great thing about gold and silver is that it screams holiday without being cheezy! 

I love black and gold, really you can't go wrong with neutrals, but I think at a holiday party you have some leway to use pops of color! In this look I used my pink pumps to amp up the look and add some fun color! 

What are you going to wear for your holiday party?
