"No matter how you feel …. Get up. Dress up. Show up. And never give up." My sentiments exactly. We are now in the third week of February and I'm currently evaluating my goals and resolutions. I have been doing good but I can always do better. So today, I'm leaving you with this outfit post and the encouragement to keep on keeping' on and if you've strayed from your path, its never too late to get back on track. 

Black and White and Print all over

Hello beautiful people. I know I have been slacking on my outfit post but I have been going through some body image issues since being sick. Not sure if you can tell but I've lost about 20lb while I was ill and I'm having a hard time adjusting to it. You probably think I'm crazy, any girl would be ecstatic to have lost a bunch of weight but I am not at all too happy at where I lost it. I have no curves and the ones seen in these picture are all an illusion lol. But I'm working out a little more at the gym now so hopefully I can regain my curvaceous figure in a healthier manner. I won't let my issues hinder my progress so expect to see regular outfit post again.

Any who, I've worn this skirt on the blog before, but the black and white combo to me makes it so 2013. The clutch has got to be one of my favorite DIY pieces to date. The fabric reminded me of Louis Vuitton's S/S 2013 collection and I just had to make something cool out of it. The idea to make a triangular clutch came from the 60's trend that's hot right now for spring. I'm so going to make another one but slightly bigger. Hope you all have a fabulous day and if you're in the DMV area stay safe in the snow. See you soon.

Casual Not Boring

Who says causal must be boring? You can always spruce up a basic outfit with some prints and color. This is exactly what I did for this outfit. The jacket is the same one from the charm georgetown post, but here I dressed it down with some jeans and a tee shirt.

One night in Venice

Happy Hump day! Today's post takes us to Venice, ok not literally but these pictures were taken at the Venetian.  The Venetian hotel and casino is a magical and romantic place, where you fill your tummy with delectable food while sitting in the replicated streets of Venice. There's even a river that flows through the hotel in which you can take a gondola ride (Of course I took advantage of this haha). This outfit was worn for a dinner at very nice Italian restaurant :). I love this printed romper. It's sexy yet fun and the yellow wedges were the pop of color that made the outfit complete. Prints were a huge trend this season and will continue their reign in the next. I will definitely be on that band wagon because I love prints. The prints on this romper sort of remind me of ink blot paintings, which made me feel artsy in a way or maybe it was because I was standing in a replica of an Italian city.  Hope all have a great
day.
