Wide Leg Obsession

I currently have four pairs of wide leg pants hanging on my clothing rack. It’s one of the main things I am obsessed with this year. You can also add overalls to that list… I now have 3 pairs and the collection is growing. So, naturally I adore these wide leg overalls A LOT.

LOL this last picture actually cracks me up… that’s what happens when you just keep snapping and hoping at least one picture comes out. Not that I think this picture is ‘blog material,’ so to speak, but I think it’s a pretty funny one so whatever. I tried on this ruffle top and fell in love immediately, so I purchased it without having any idea what the hell I would pair it with. I held onto it for a couple weeks, and then these Shein pants came to me and, wa-la! The perfect pair. The straps on these overalls are actually detachable, and they came with a long belt in matching fabric, and we all know versatility makes my world go round, so I was pretty stoked on that.

Seeing Stars

If you have been following along on my Instagram, then you’re well aware by now I have recently purchased a pair of high waisted faux leather leggings I am obsessed with. I’ve been trying to find any and every excuse to wear these bad boys as often as possible…seriously, I’d wear them to work if I thought my boss wouldn’t kill me.

LEGGINGS, TOP, HEELS, HAT

I really cannot say enough amazing things about these leggings. I am obsessed with the fact that they’re high waisted. I love leggings but I feel like they’re all super low-rise and my ass crack is hanging out half the time. I’m always stopping to hike them up… it’s just not comfortable. These fit like a little leather glove. They suck everything in like Spanx and yet are incredibly stretchy. I bought a small and when I took them out of the package they looked like they would fit Charlotte. I was like oh hellllllll noooooo. But they fit perfectly and they’re so comfortable. I wore these out for drinks last week with a long tank top and booties because it was still pretty chilly, but it’s going to be all crop tops and body suits as the weather gets warmer. They are a little more on the expensive side, especially for leggings, but Revolve has FREE 2 day shipping and they’re seriously so comfortable and flattering they are worth every single cent. It’s worth mentioning that this is in no way a sponsored post… I just really, really love them that much, haha.

Isn’t this top so fun? I bought it in December when I had to bar tend on New Years Eve and wanted something festive… however I didn’t end up wearing it because I figured the bell sleeves would get in the way. It’s been sitting in my closet since, waiting for the perfect bottoms to pair it with, and here they are. I love the sheer star print… I’m also feeling this top, and this one!

Cozy Knits, High Slits

Guys…. this dress is hands down one of the most comfortable I have ever owned! It fits so well, it’s super flattering, and it’s SO. DAMN. COMFORTABLE. Are you sold yet? Because you should be.

Side note… this is my last post with blonde hair!!! ::tears:: So many tears, haha. I absolutely loved being blonde…. it was my jam. My hair on the other hand? Not so in love with it. My hair took a serious beating over the past few years in my epic journey to becoming a blonde. It basically got to the point where it would just break off. I decided as fun as being blonde was I needed to give my hair a break and let it get healthy again. I’m now on a journey to go dark again. I’m the most fickle person EVER when it comes to my hair… seriously. But looking at these pictures makes me super sad… I’ll miss my blonde alter ego!

Anyway, back to the dress. It’s perfect for fall! The neutral tone totally compliments the season, the knit material makes it perfect for cooler temperatures. Throw on over the knee boots and a mini leather jacket when it gets cold and you’re good to go. The dress comes with a nude slip to wear underneath because being knit it’s obviously a little bit on the see-through side. Although the slip tends to ride up A LOT over my butt. I was already pretty well endowed back there, but my boyfriend who is a personal trainer has been kicking my ass hardcore at the gym the past few weeks and squats and lunges are basically his favorite thing in the world. I’m not complaining, your butt could always use the help… but my clothes are starting to fit a little tighter, haha. I would assume the slip doesn’t fall so short on everyone.

Let’s talk about this choker too! It gives me life. I love the choker trend but most right now are on the delicate side… which I also really like, however, it’s fun to go bold every now and then! I wore this to work last week with a bold plum lip to match and I got so many weird looks… I guess a bold lip & statement choker early in the morning are a bit much for some people (LAME).

Spotlight Stealer

It’s been a while since one of my little ladies has accompanied me on a blog shoot. Normally I try to avoid having my kids with me because they’re basically wild animals and make it extremely difficult to do anything productive, but Char came with me this time and we had a blast, haha.

This is one of my favorite looks for the summer. I’ve had this skirt for maybe 5 years now? If not more! Well before I had any children and my ass and hips were about half the size, hah. It’s one of my favorites but it’s so tight it tends to ride up just a little bit every step you take so I’m constantly pulling it back down. But it’s fine… it’s too cute not to wear. Also I’ve had these sandals since last summer and this is the first time they’ve made it to the blog… which is madness to me because I wear them all the time.

How cute is she? She’s such a ham when she sees the camera come out. Even if you’re taking a picture of her like swimming in the pool she’ll stop what she’s doing and give you a little pose. PLEASE disregard the rats nest she has workin on top of her head here, haha. She had just gotten home from camp and they spend half the day in the pool. It’s usually not that insane. Ok fine that’s a lie, but at least I try to tame it most of the time! Char is wearing a dress from H&M here. I’m obsessed with their kids section! They have the cutest little dresses, like this one, and they’re usually only about $4.95 each. Insanity! They’re durable too, most of Char’s from last year and the year before are still in great condition and Kennedy wears them now.

What to Wear, What to Wear?

I am partnering with Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa to create content to support the opening of their new $14 million dollar nightclub Premier. They are hosting me this weekend and I’ll be taking you along for the ride on my Instagram & Snapchat. Make sure you’re following along! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been able to escape my real life for a vacation, so when I was invited down to AC to celebrate I did not hesitate to RSVP a big fat YES. However… I cannot figure out what to wear! I haven’t been to AC in years and I kind of forget what everyone wears for a fancy night out to dinner, drinks, and dancing… So help a sister out! I have a couple options, and this is option numero uno.

FREE PEOPLE DRESS ℅ SOUTH MOON UNDER || FOREVER21 KIMONO (similar) || COSMO SHOES (similar) || AMI CLUBWEAR CLUTCH ℅

I am obsessed with this dress in every way you could be obsessed with it. I love the delicate lace and the racerback straps. It’s fun, and black, which obviously appeals to me, and easy to move in. It would be my number one pick if we were just heading down for a nice dinner, but I’m not sure it’s the right dress for dancing all night in a club.

What do you think? Perfect for a night out on the town, or should I save it for another occasion? Ya know what, don’t answer that yet! Wait until you see option number two. ;]
