The Real MVP

Have you ever had an item in your closet that is a staple? An item that you continuously go to whenever you don't know what to wear? Well, for me this summer that item would have to be my blush vest that I scored for under $30 at Forever 21 at the tail end of Winter (preparing for Spring). This vest has truly gotten its full use. The reason this vest is my go - to piece this summer is because of its versatility. The color is refreshing, it's lightweight (so I won't sweat to death down in the GA heat. It also allows me to dress up items that are not super dressy like I did in my last post with my gray jumpsuit (check it out here) or amp up an already polished look like I did in my Blush, Black, & Mint post (check it out here). For other ideas on how I styled my blush vest check out my other 2 posts Easter Cool & Muted Spring Palette (here& here). So as you can see my blush vest is truly "the real MVP" this Spring and Summer. Check out how I styled my vest this time.

Outfit Details: Faux Leather Shorts (Kohl's), Tank (Forever 21), Vest (Forever 21), Gladiators (GoJane.com), Scarf (Charlotte Russe), Sunnies (H&M)

I know you may be tired of me sharing this vest. But I want to be as candid with you my readers as possible. I'm not one of those fashion bloggers that just wears an item once and tosses it to the back of my closet. I get wear out of what I truly like. And this vest is no different.

What item in your closet is your real MVP? Is it a favorite pair of jeans? A dress, skirt, or blouse? No matter what it may be keep rocking it with pride! Challenge yourself to recreate different looks for your special item so you can get the most out of your closet. Let me know in the comment section below what item is your MVP.

Happy Hump Day,

Celebrate Good Times

Tis the season for graduations, parties, vacays, weddings, baby showers and the introduction of summer (well not just yet…but very soon). For this blog post I pulled out my celebratory top, because nothing says "celebrate good times" like a sequin top. Who says sequin is only reserved for New Years Eve? I say shine bright like a diamond anytime, anyplace! The denim shorts add a casual element to this "dressy" top, while the glitter platforms are the perfect compliment to this disco ball top. And my ear cuffs aid in edging up the entire look.

Outfit Details: Sequin Top (H&M), Denim Shorts (Forever 21), Sunnies (Forever 21), Ear Cuff (H&M), Platforms (Belk)

I have a couple packed weekends coming up and you can be sure this shirt will be accompanying me to at least one of the celebrations. What is your go to celebration outfit? Let me know below?

Have an awesome weekend,

Blush, Black, & Mint

It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you, without a dope post to scroll through! Hey Fashion Sensers. Oh how I've missed you :) I've been super caught up with school (I just finished up my last week of school), planned and threw a surprise 30th birthday party for my husband, got inducted into the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) where I will serve as the Vice President next year along with keeping up with being a wife. So yeah, it's been a little hectic around here in the Anderson household the past couple of weeks. However, I have a new blog post for you today, with an item from my closet that you've seen a couple times before…my blush pink vest. To go along with the mood of Spring I paired it with my mint green skirt and finished the look off with my black cropped leather top and caged booties.

Outfit Details: Skirt (H&M), Leather Crop Top (Forever 21), Blush Vest (Forever 21), Booties (K&G), Sunnies (Thrifted), Necklace (Forever 21), Ear Cuff (Forever 21)

It feels good to be back at it. I am ready to share new posts with you my awesome subscribers and readers :) Stay tuned. In the meantime TGIF luvs!
