Happy First of July Everyone! Let us start this month right. To begin with, I thought of striped maxi dress that can be worn for the 4th of July, you just have to add a touch red. It maybe your nail polish or accessories. As for me, I put on the red nail polish to complete the look.

It is not a typical 3 colored red, white and blue thing. It has an added orange twist that makes this look refreshing for the summer. I wore this dress when we went to Cancun last September for my birthday. I must say it is also a nice beach companion.

You can still find similar styles from bloomingdales.

Details:
Dress – Bloomingdales
Sandals – Target (mossimo)
Bracelet – got it from the shark reef at Mandalay Bay as a souvenir.
Handbag – Coach
Nail polish – Forever 21

It is officially the first day of Summer! Aren’t you glad about it? A lot of great outdoor adventure for all of us or even it is just a BBQ at the backyard. It really matters a lot for us here living in the East coast. I just want to share to all of you this little white dress that I scored from Ross. If you were following what I have posted on my blog. This dress is connected to the Wardrobe Malfunction post that I share few weeks ago. That dress, I was able to return and I just added few bucks and got me this dress.

It is a good combination to wear black pumps and handbag. I felt like I was Taylor Swift walking around. That inspired me to put on the red lipstick. Now it is time to get some tan!

Enjoy your summer everyone!

Wardrobe Pieces you should be Investing On

I am the type of shopper where I think about where my money goes. I want to look fabulous but doesn’t wanna break the bank and be broke. So I splurge once in a while into shoes and handbags that I know will stay classy overtime and has good quality.

Why? most of the time you get what you pay for. And if you really want things to last long and will still be of good quality and remains classy. Those (shoes and handbags) are the 2 things you need to invest on.

On Shoes
If you are just Starting, get shoes and start with black. I always tell myself that you can never go wrong with black shoes, you can always pair them with anything and It stays classy and eventually Add different colors.

I am not a wealthy person who can afford to buy designer brands all the time but when I get a chance and have extra, I invest on those things that I know I love and will not go out of style. It also become my go-to outfit and style staples.

And because I used to buy a lot of shoes here and there and that are cheaper they usually don’t last long. Most of the time you’ll see the sides chipped of already. But if you are really into fashion and wants to change style every time. It will be practical to buy the average priced shoes and have every color and style you want.

Handbags

If you will compare designer handbags to others, you can really say they are really in good quality and style usually last long. Like my Louis Vuitton speedy, it remains in style and goes pretty much with most of the outfit.

You don’t want to invest much money on clothing, Because when you wash them then their quality usually fades through time. Plus you don’t wanna be wearing the same clothes over and over. For myself, I just want them under $30. And with clothing you always want to be in style. I stand corrected by the way, you can also invest in good jeans.

I got this dress from sheinside. Their sizes usually runs small so if you are a US small try getting a medium from them.

I got this dress because it really looks good online and I want you to be judge if I was able to give justice to this outfit.

I paired it with a light pink shoes and a blazer. I was planning to put on a denim jacket but that style is too common so I decided to give it a twist.

Wardrobe Malfunction

I just want to share to all of you this embarrassing moment I had when we went to the museum.

I bought this cute dress and it was under $15 so who wouldn’t buy it right? Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that cheap clothes don’t last. You know accidents do happen. I always buy clothes on sale.

The Museum day, I was so excited to wear that dress. The weather was kinda cold so I decided to wear my denim jacket to match the outfit. I put the clothes on and I looked at the mirror and everything looks good.

We all went to the car and drove to the museum. When we got there, I was the one who got off the car to unbuckle my daughter seatbelt. My mom followed and she noticed that the back part of the dress was ripped. She told me and I couldn’t believe it. She told me she can see my undies. My husband looked at it too and I was panicking. Thank God I had my denim jacket to cover it, tied the jacket around my waist. It was another fashion statement but it was cold I must admit not to wear the jacket but I gotta do I gotta do.

By the way, I returned the dress to the store 🙂

Lesson learned. It’ll be nice to have a spare clothes in the car just in case this happens or a sewing kit maybe.
