Cream Lace + Ruffles

Written by Shakira on . Posted in Personal Style, Style. 2 Comments

Every now and then you have to get showered, dressed, and out the door in thirty minutes… today was that day. I have a full weekend ahead of me with wedding planning and organizing new music for my church choir. As a result the entire weekend’s outfits are planned and pressed and today’s look was a great way to start my Friday.

I found this beautiful dress in Marshall’s a year ago and can you beleive it was only $20 ?! I promise you guys I do not spend a lot of money on my clothes, namely because bills –  but seriously lol.

The cream lace has a nice texture and the larger design looks amazing against the ivory lining. The cap sleeves and tiered ruffles add a playful touch. I can totally carry the dress from day to night by wearing flats to work (which I always do) and adding my strappy sandals for a night out in Old City.

Since it is Friday and I’m a working girl, my trusty cream Dooney & Bourke bowler bag and cat eye frames are all I need to complete my ensemble. Summer weather means I live in dresses and with the last lingering balmy temperatures soon to go, I’ll wear one any chance I get.

Here’s to a good weekend loves, stay safe! XO – Kira

Happy Hump Day ladies! After a challenging weekend it seems as if this week is moving by so quickly. Work has been uber crazy and it’s surely tepting to get a little overwhelmed and have a mini meltdown. However, I’m in full on beast mode trying to accomplish my tasks. If you’ve been following me for a while then you know I see fashion as an instant mood booster. So today’s look is my way of realsing my inner Girl Boss.

You may recall back in 2013 that high fashion label Prabal Gurung collaborated with Target to release a bold, artistic collection of ready to wear pieces. Each garment told a story and the color palate was vivid – totally not for the fashion faint of heart. The collection literally sold out in no time. I had to ask a co-worker from North Jersey to stop by her local Target to score me the fabulous dress featured here.

This ruffled chiffon number immediatley caught my eye due to the rich sulfer color. I’ve decided to stay organic and add some metallic silver accents and completed the look with a bold tangerine lip. Guess who’s ready to slay the rest of this week? XO
