How To Wear Camouflage

Mixing prints can be fun yet challenging, especially when talking about camouflage.  The ultra masculine and militant look of army pants can be easily styled to feminine awesomeness. 

 I find girly prints like floral, leopard, or black and white stripes look the best with camo pants.  Just about any pattern top with army pants will look daring and chic when paired with heels.

 Check out my favorite detail: the pull strings to make your pants go from wide leg pants to jogger style very easily.  Do you think this is a trend you'll try?

How To Prevent Loose Skin After Vertical Sleeve

This video is about my personal journey and how I prevented loose skin after Vertical Gastric Sleeve Gastrectomy.  Remember this is not advice, and I am not a doctor.

Sweater Weather

Nothing says "Fall is here" like comfy sweaters.   Even though we are all itching to jump into layers and boots,  lingering summer weather like 90 degree temperature days can make getting dressed confusing. 

The breathable design of open knit sweaters keeps you cool and makes them perfect for pairing with Summer pieces. 

For my outfit of the day I paired my favorite cozy sweater with cognac boots and shorts.  Matte brown lipstick sets the tone to create a season appropriate look.

Cage Detail Little Black Dress

Fashion includes taking risks and by adding bold elements to a classic look, one can achieve just that.  Cage detailed sleeves add a sophisticated edge to this little black dress gifted to me from Pink Club Wear.  This look is subtle with just the right amount of sexy.  

The striking unique sleeves along with the body conscious fit allures attention.  

Try vamping up your look by adding a sexy cage bra (like this very cute one!) or why not make it yourself? Maybe a youtube video coming up next on that DIY.

Simple is Sexy

Simple is sexy.  This is the mantra I live by more often than not especially with my daily wardrobe.  Basic pieces like a tank bodycon dress, single sole heels and a jacket like the spin on a classic trench coat, can bring so much sophistication and sex appeal to your look.

This classic trench jacket is oversized with a flattering silhouette easy to throw over a tank top and jeans.  Lightweight and fashion forward, my new jacket has quickly become a staple in my Summer to Fall transition.
