Polka dots have been a classic yet girly look for ages and we are seeing this famous pattern once again. This trend can be a bit intimidating at first but it's not complicated. Whether in jean or trouser form, polka dots give off a dainty, feminine feel. Try pairing them with solid blazers for work or with neutral peplum tops for a night out. Keep in mind, the more subtle the spots, the easier this look is to pull off. In trying to prove that anyone can pull off this look, I made sure that this one was tailored (but not tight) and paired with items that would help tone it down (in this case a neutral modern vest and tan bag).

PFC #14: Holiday Emergency

This month’s Petite Fashion Challenge is hosted by Couture Coco.

The Challenge: You have a pre-booked dinner date on the first day of your holiday but your luggage is delayed. Therefore you must style your travel outfit into a special evening look using whatever you carry in your purse and anything else immediately at hand.

If you ladies remembered, this is what Mini-me and I wore to the airport in this post HERE. As a mother I always carry extra clothing for the family just in case. You never know what might happen when traveling with two young children.

So on that particular trip - these are the accessories that I had with me. I didn't realize it until now but this outfit really gives off a Gothic feel, not that that's a bad thing of course, but I didn't want to go overboard. Thankfully I had the pearl necklace to be used as a bracelet to bring it down a notch. I still can't get over how comfortable this dress is and love the way it drapes! 

One thing I didn't have with me was make-up. TSA always make a fuss when you have those liquids, eye lash curlers, foundations, etc. in your carry-on so I put mines in the checked bag. Not a big deal for me since I don't usually wear make-up anyways. 

Hope you enjoyed my 3rd PFC. Check out my last one HERE. Thank you Couture Coco for hosting! Be sure to check out the rest of the Petite Fashion Challenge participants listed over at Couture Coco.

Mint & Chiffon

Hi everyone!

One thing I love most about summertime is the opportunity to wear neon color apparels. I love pairing iridescent color blouses with abstract skirts during long walks on the beach. Not only are the garments lightweight they also make packing a cinch since they take up little to no space in the suitcase. 

Among the many neon color choices, I find that mint is the easiest to work with. It does a great job of brightening up our complexion and pairs incredibly well with a variety of colors.

This gorgeous chiffon skirt was sent to me from YesStyle and is part of their 59th Street Collection. This collection provides a variety of youthful and classic pieces for the corporate woman. I wanted to test the versatility of this skirt and brought it along on my trip. The soft and flowy material was perfect for a breezy walk on the beach. I love subtle pieces that offer a unique construction, it instantaneously transforms a monotonous corporate look into instant chic style!

Airport Style with Mini-me

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Mini-me and I love flying. Not only is it exhilarating soaring thousands of miles above land and looking down at all the small objects, we also love airplane snacks =)

My typical flight outfit usually consists of comfy sweats and T-shirts, but this time I opted for this soft asymmetrical dress from YesStyle. This gorgeous dress forms the perfect canvas for unlimited styles. Here I paired it with leggings for comfort and a scarf to use as (a) a wrap when it gets cold onboard and (b) to accent my casual outfit. And of course mini-me had to match me =)

Vested

 

Hi everyone, I hope you had a fantastic weekend!

Last week I received this gorgeous vest from YesStyle and quickly fell in love with it. The vest fits perfectly, is super cozy and so versatile that it literally goes with everything in my wardrobe. 

Since the vest is the centerpiece of the outfit, I paired it with a simple long sleeve and leather skirt to bring out the warm hues. The combination of orange, plum and brown creates such a beautiful colorway!

 

What I love most about this vest is its loose-fit structure, it is also reversible for a fun twist – such a chic vest that instantly adds a sophisticated edge to any outfit. I think it's safe to say that I've found my new favorite vest!
