Feature Guest: Felicity

Hey guys. I'm trying something new. I'd like to feature a guest every month. The outfits will be will be a range of whatever makes the guest happy. The whole point will be to show that you guys can wear whatever you want. Being comfortable and happy in your skin is the most important thing.

The first guest I'm featuring is Felicity. She has a really cute outfit and follows my blog. I asked her some questions. Here's what she said:

Would you describe the dress your wearing: the colors and how the material feels?

Well the top is a whiter color than I expected. I thought it would be cream. It's a pretty white with black polka dots. The top is pretty thin but it didn't really show through for me. The bottom is a bit of a different texture. I'm having a hard time describing it. It almost feels like wind pants if that makes sense. It's very thin and light weight, but that's good for here (CA) since it's hot almost all year round. It flows nicely at the bottom and it doesn't stick to my body!

What about the belt?

The dress came with the belt. It was the perfect size for the dress. It fits perfectly. It does stretch a bit. Very cute! I love the bow!

How do you like the shoes?

I LOVE them! They were even better when they got here then they were online! They fit perfect. The only thing is that since they button on, when you don't have the attachment on, you can see [where it attaches]. Other than that, it laces up well and I like that I don't have to have that part on, it makes it match with more outfits. They were actually pretty comfortable to walk in too. The material is more velvety than I thought as well. Which I love!

Where would you wear this outfit?

Hm. I would wear it to maybe an interview. For sure I would wear it on a date!

How do you feel wearing the whole outfit?

I feel very classy! It makes me smile and I feel very happy and comfortable to wear it.

Thank you Felicity for sharing!

Date Night!!

Hey guys! It's been quite a while since I've posted. As you all are probably familiar with, life got in the way. Between working overtime last week and battling a cold, I haven't had much time for anything besides work and sleep. I'm feeling much better and even got a partial day off on Saturday. It's been a good weekend.

Date Night! This is what happens when I have an evening off. I dress up and be all girly for a date. Dinner and a movie (there's nothing wrong with the classic ;) ).

Let's begin with the best part of the outfit: shoes. These heels are about 4-5 inches tall. They are white with black polka-dots. It's a little hard to tell, but they are kind of fuzzy and definitely sparkly. They are ah-mazing. I love how tall they make me (I'm only 5'2"). I get a confidence boost from wearing them. I almost didn't get them. I was shopping with my sister, found them, and tried them on. I liked them a bunch. My sister wasn't so sure. So I went back the next day with my boyfriend and got them. They're just too awesome to pass up.

The skirt I'm wearing is actually a grey high-waisted pencil skirt. For a fun date night, I chose to dress it down with a plain blue v-neck t-shirt. The skirt I picked up from a second-hand store for just a couple bucks (shameless second-hand promotion lol). It's quite versatile. I can dress it up with a button-up blouse tucked in, or I can dress it down like I did here.

This blue shirt is wonderful. It's a very soft v-neck. Because it's a solid color, I can wear it with all sorts of outfits. The vivid blue is very bright and happy. I chose a plain but pretty outfit to help turn the attention toward my shoes.





My hair was straightened by my friend (who also happens to be my boyfriend's sister). While it seems like a little thing, it actually took a lot of effort because I have a whole bunch of hair. It almost reaches my butt. Usually it is wavy from being braided all the time, so I decided to do something new. It worked out wonderfully. So thank you, Fiora for helping me. :)





Here's the icing to an already fabulous outfit, earrings. I love this pair of earrings because they're both gold and silver. So I can match them with almost any other piece of jewelry without having to worry about clashing gold and silver. They are very simple design, just two disks. I can match them with jeans and a t-shirt or with a pretty dress. They would work either way.




It was a wonderful night with great friends. I hope you all take time out of your busy schedules to dress up and do something nice for yourself and significant other. It's definitely revitalizing.

Are there any shoes or piece of clothing that just gives you an instant confidence boost when you wear it? What do you guys like to do for date nights? I'd love to hear what you think. Please leave questions and comments below.

Have a Happy Color Day! :D



P.S. Hunter-kitty tried to help me take pictures. So here's the result:

Tuesday's Tidbits #1: Calm Cool Nails

Tuesday's Tidbits is where I will highlight just one piece of a whole outfit. Sometimes I'll talk about clothing, shoes, scarves, accessories... anything, but it'll be just one piece. So you can decide how best to wear it.

Today I wanted to talk about nail polish. For me nail polish is like decoration on a cake. It's not necessary but can add just enough pizzazz to any ensemble to take a regular outfit to amazing. But let's tell the truth here, sometimes it's a pain in the butt lol. I'm right-handed so using my right hand is easy. Working with my left hand is not so simple. Sometimes it feels like you're painting your entire finger tip. Also what happens if you don't wait long enough for the polish to be completely dry? You get lovely textures like on my left index finger.

Aside from the pains of polishing nails yourself, it can also be a lot of fun. Whenever I polish my nails, I feel pampered and girly. It's nice me-time that can end up pretty. With the weather being so hot lately, I decided to play with cooler colors. Green is my fave color, so it's always my go-to. The blue I chose because it was more a turquoise than a true blue. Also it sparkles. What girl doesn't like sparkles? The purple is a very rich royal purple balancing out the lightness of the green and coolness of the blue.

If you haven't noticed already, I enjoy colors and how they affect and interact with each other. These three colors feel cool and refreshing like purple flowers and green grass around a calm lake. They just feel calm. After the crazy weekend I had, calm is a good thing.

How do you like to do your nails? Do you like plain colors or intricate patterns? Share your pictures with me. I'd love to see what you do with your nails.

As always guys,
Have a Happy Colors Day!

P.S. Please leave questions and comments. I'd love to hear from you. Keep it clean and positive.
