Scuba Knit Dress... Again

Do you remember the post I did with the scuba knit dress? See it here. Well, I went ahead and bought that same dress in 5 other colors! To avoid doing so many posts with the same dress, I decided to style 2 of them here. I chose the neon coral and bright pink. Maybe I'll wait 'til Fall/Winter to style the other 3 colors.

Dark-Skinned Girls Rock!

I was featured on Cherrie J's blog CherrieAmore this week. She has this awesome series called Dark-Skinned Girls Rock! It features dark-skinned women talking about fashion and their experience being dark-skinned. The purpose of the series is to "encourage dark-skinned women to embrace their beauty and gain self-confidence." I think the series is so smart and important! I am truly honored to be part of it. Check out my feature here and browse Cherrie's cool blog.

Don't forget to follow both of our blogs on Bloglovin.

Mix-n-Match

Stripes and florals have quickly become my favorite way to mix prints. If you're new to mixing prints, you should try it. It's easy! Simply pick a striped piece and a floral piece with similar or complementary colors. Ya know what would make this outfit better... black & white polka dot shoes. Right?!

Scuba Knit

I was looking online for some inexpensive dresses that I could use as work wardrobe "fillers". I came across this dress on the Forever 21 website. I loved the shape of it and the price was right. The only thing that concerned me was the fabric. It is a scuba knit. I've never been in a scuba suit, but I can image it is tight and/or hot and weird to wear outside of water. I decided to tried it anyway and I'm so glad I did. I don't know if it is "real" scuba knit or whatever, but it is perfect for wearing year round. It is light enough to wear on a 85 degree day like today and thick enough to wear in cold weather. I can wear it the way I'm wearing it here, or with a cardigan or blazer over it, or with a blouse under it. I bought this dress in fuchsia as well. I am contemplating ordering it in black and coral (and maybe the blue and red). Is that overkill? Maybe? Maybe not. Anyway, don't be surprised if you see the other colors show up in future posts.

Granny's Vintage Necklace

My maternal grandmother away passed 1 year ago on March 31, 2013. I miss her so much! The awesome elephant necklace I'm wearing belonged to her. My mama told me that she used to sneak this necklace from Granny and wear it to high school. I think of Granny every time I wear it.

Broomstick Skirt

Whether you call it a broomstick, maxi, gypsy, or boho skirt... I love 'em! It's such an easy piece to style year 'round. Just grab a sweater, blazer, tee or tank top. Add boots, heels, sandals or flip-flops. Throw on some accessories and you're all set.

Rainbow Sweater Dress (2 Ways)

I love this dress. It's cute, super comfortable and it finally allowed me to wear these tights. I bought these tights a long time ago, but couldn't find the right outfit to wear with them.

Look how my mom styled the same dress. Very chic with her suede fridge boots!
