The Floral Dress

I think it's safe to say that most people have an item or two in their closet that they prefer over the rest. Without a doubt, one of mine is my little black floral dress. Not only do I love the print and the comfortable fabric but I love how extremely versatile it is. I've already shared these looks on my Chictopia and Weardrobe accounts, but have not had the time to properly show them here. So without putting it off any longer, here they are:

Dress: Forever 21
Long Sleeve: my mom's closet
Tights: Simply Vera
Boots: Target
Bag: Kohls

Cardigan: Forever 21
Shoes: from Mexico
Belt: Vintage

Speaking of Chictopia and Weardrobe I was pleasantly surprised to see that after some time of steady activity both accounts went through two eruptions overnight. Literally. After uploading two of the pictures featured above last night, I logged in today to find that I climbed up to 117 chicpoints. To top it off, I am also on the featured page of Weardrobe!

Also, I'm quickly reminding you that I'm hosting a giveaway where a beautiful print is up for grabs. If you have not entered yet, make sure to do so here. The giveaway ends this Friday!

New Beginnings

First, I decided I would open up my own Weardrobe account. After little contemplation I decided "What the heck" and opened up a Chictopia account as well. I'm really loving both and I think they are just what I need in terms of developing my clothing style. I know I have it in me to compose beautiful outfits (or at least those that I find beautiful) but in reality self-consciousness and plain old laziness sometimes get the best of me. I'm in the midst of a new chapter in my life and I want to work my way to becoming everything I know I am capable of and more. This blog has already helped me in endless ways and seeing such beautiful females of all ages, body shapes and ethnicities displaying their style and the bits and pieces of themselves is so inspiring. I can only hope that one day I will be as inspiring to other bloggers. But for now I'm growing- as a young woman and as a blogger. I don't mind it at all though because it's through this process that I will figure the routes necessary to one day reach all the destinations I dream of.

The next series of pictures were taken at a local mansion turned museum. The beautiful architecture caught my attention ever since I had first seen it so I was delighted to make it my backdrop for today.
