Turquoise Tuesday: Take 2

An important part of style to me is not just how the clothes look together but how they look on the person who is wearing them. You can have the cutest outfit on but if it doesn't work for your body type it just isn't for you. So long pin up dress dreams! I also think it has to do with how confident you feel in it. The whole "work it girl!" comes to mind. Over the past few weeks my clothes have been getting a little on the tight side and I just haven't been feeling very photo friendly. I did however snap a shot of an outfit I wore last weekend and thought I'd share it.

I decided today that I am going to consciously make an effort to eat healthier and make it to the gym more often. I probably make this decision once every few weeks but who doesn't! It is easy to get started on a health kick but it's very hard to stay consistent. Hopefully this time will go better.

Anywho! On to the attire!

People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile.

Dress to Impress

Wow, making consistent posts has definitely been the biggest challenge in blogging. It seems like there is always so much to do and something as simple as writing a post and adding some pictures really takes quite awhile.

One of my favorite things to do when I'm in a rush is throw on a dress and go. It's so convenient. No matching tops with bottoms or wondering if these jeans give me a muffin top. The only problem I come across is finding the perfect belt. I love the layers and it really gives your look and silhouette that something special.

And to add a little business flair.....

And just a little something that made me giggle....
