Black and Gold Maxi

Written by Shakira on . Posted in Personal Style, Style. 4 Comments

Hello beautiful people, I hope your week is finding you well. The heat is here in Philly and I’m excited about all the summer fun to come! Food trucks, festivals, shows, etc.. I can’t wait to experience what the city has to offer.

 

Meanwhile, back at the office summer means the air conditioning is on full blast and I have to dress accordingly.Today I’ve decided to go with this beautiful printed maxi dress. A quick updo to camouflage my messy hair, gold jewelry, and a pair of comfy slides complete the look.

The long sleeves will keep me warm in the office while the thin fabric lets me breathe outdoors. Due to the sheer nature of the fabric I had to add leggings underneath, but they’ll be an added benefit to beat the office chill. How about you ladies, do you dress for a cold workspace as well?

So it’s been five days and now that I’ve done a shoot I’m finally ready to share the good news here on the blog…. I’M ENGAGED!! Ahhhhh (insert every emoji all at once), you guys I swear it still feels like a dream. I’ve randomly burst into tears quite a few times over the weekend and my cheeks literally hurt from cheesing so hard but nothing compares to this feeling. I can only imagine how I’ll feel once we say I do!

This past Friday my best friend Jason of the last 9 years popped the question. It took place at my apartment shortly after watching the most recent episodes of Suits and The Blacklist. I wish I could say I was decked out in couture – instead I was in an old t-shirt, fuzzy leopard pajama pants, and mismatched Nike socks. Did I mention my wig was off? Yep, conrows on deck, no scarf, ha! Of course no of this mattered to him. I was a hot, coughing, sneezing mess and to him it was perfect.

I will most likely add a new section to the blog to document our story and our journey to the altar. For now, I just wanna bask in this moment and enjoy my fiancee. Today’s look is all about glamour, something that will surely be evident at the wedding. All black everything keeps is clean and sophisticated. My sequin pencil skirt is balanced by chic basics and topped with a vintage Mink fur to add sophistication. This Rose gold, 1 ct. pink Morganite engagement ring is the perfect accessory to any ensemble. I am beyond happy with his selection. Gosh you guys, #Love16  now has a whole new meaning! XOXO
