Remember last week when I talked about taking more fashion risks? Well, this floral suit outfit is waaay out of my comfort zone. Until recently, I’ve shied away from showing my curves too much.

If you had asked me if I could wear a jacquard dress, I would have said no. I would have thought the knit material would cling to the areas I try to hide. I never thought a jacquard dress would hang right on me. Well, as I’ve said before, you’ve gotta try everything to know…

You know when you find a dress and you’re like, I need this? Yeah, that’s how I feel about this black floral silk dress. I previously owned a short sleeve dress that looked very similar to this one, but over the years, I wore it out. I was extra excited when I spotted this dress…
My favorite fall color trend is burgundy. I love burgundy because the jewel tone is so flattering on my olive skin tone and I think it works well on a lot of skin types. I’ve seen so many burgundy dresses online and in stores, but my absolute favorite is this a-line dress from White House…
There are certain styles of clothing, like shift dresses, which I always put into the category: NOT FOR ME. Maybe it’s because I’m in my 30s or maybe its just because I’ve become more confident in my style choices, I’m now more willing to try styles I used to think were not for me. Case…
