Comfy and Cute

Sometimes it is really hard for me to throw together a cute outfit. It is something that definitely does not come naturally to me so everyday I work on it and "study" it. I feel like my time is very consumed on everything else like school and work and my kitties :) to the point where putting together a savvy outfit is a tedious task. In addition to that challenge I am slightly limited on what I can wear due to my body shaped and the big one.... Living in Texas. My favorite "look" at the moment is lots and lots of layers and the Texas heat is not very forgiving. Even in the early weeks of March it was getting too hot to even wear an undertank with my tops. But alas, I am not one for spending much time outdoors so I will survive the walk to and from my car to get where I am going.

This outfit started with a few more layers but by the time I got down three flights of stairs from my apartment to the wooded area behind us I started taking it off. *Cue sexy dance music*... but really it was more like sweatily peeling layers off of me. Sorry if that's TMI.

On to the look!

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.....
Dress: $25 Agaci
Blazer: $15 Agaci
Belt: Came w/different dress
Bracelets: $13 total Forever 21
Shoes: $25 BCBG from DSW (CLEARANCE GREATNESS!!)

Total Outfit: $78

Lesson learned- Muted colors can make an impact.

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