Floral Maxi Dress and Marley Twists

Hey hey! Today I wanted to showcase a new dress and a new hairstyle. As I mentioned in my last post here, I love dresses!

Maxi dresses, like the floral one I am wearing above, are so stylish along with being super comfortable. You can wear maxi dresses and flats for a casual, errand day or pair it with heels for a chic, brunch outfit.

I decided to pair mine with flats for a more casual look. This floral maxi was a great deal at Nordstrom Rack for only $12!

I love shopping at the Rack because the deals are so great and it helps that I get an employee discount too. My flats are from Nordstrom, my only issue with them are that they get dirty so quick because they are white. During the summer time, I definitely plan on wearing this dress with cute sandals.

On this past Monday, I decided to do my hair. I love red hair on me. I’ve even considered dying my natural hair red because I love it so much, but that will happen later in life.

I’ve done red braids before, but this was my first time doing red twists. Besides how they look, the main difference between braids and twists are how many pieces of hair you use. To form a braid, you use three strands of hair and to form a twist you use two strands of hair.

Once I get a video camera, I will showcase how I do my protective styles (braids and twists). Be warned, it is time-consuming. These twists took me 8 hours to do, but once you get the hang of it its fun and definitely worth while.

My twists allow me to give my natural hair a break and it’s a cute, new hairstyle. What’s your go to dress style? What hairstyle are you currently rocking? Let me know in the comments below!

And I will leave you with this quote my boyfriend and I came up with today as inspiration to help you get through your week:

Flowers bloom even in darkness. So even if you feel like there is no light in your life right now, you can still bloom in your dark place. You are a flower 💐

Enjoying the Holiday Season

Posing in Plum

Hello my beautiful readers! Happy Monday and I hope all is well 🙂

Recently, I had two really random realizations. Hope you caught that awesome alliteration in that previous sentence btw lol

First realization: I don’t own much purple!!! I didn’t realize it until I had to work an event this past Saturday and my internship supervisor asked me to wear purple. I said “No problem, I have purple.”

As I scanned my closet, I realized…I don’t really have purple!! I have one pair of purple jeans and that’s all and that was pretty weird and amazing to me. So I invested in a causal purple and white tank top and a plum bodycon dress pictured in this post today.

Second realization: I do the same poses in all of my pictures!!! If I really want to break into the fashion world, which I do, I have to work on my poses. So I practiced a few in the mirror and I really like the one pictured above right.

In the picture, I am wearing my plum sleeveless bodycon dress mentioned above and I paired the dress with black Steve Madden pointy toe flats. I decided to do a little more with my arms so I ran my hand through my fro and snapped the selfie. Pretty decent pose if I do say so myself ^-^

These 2 realizations may not seem like a big deal but they were both pretty cool discoveries! So hopefully you will see more purple hues in my pictures in the near future and some more really creative poses.

Anything you recently realized about your wardrobe or yourself in general? Share it in the comments below! ❤

Work Selfie

Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a great week.

So, like most people, I spend a lot of my time at work. I work as a hostess in a restaurant located in one of the many Four Seasons Hotel.

I really enjoy my job because I love interacting with guests and having conversations with them.

I also get my exercise by walking guests to their seats lol 🙂 I’ve hosted in a few different restaurants but this job is the first one that actually gave me a uniform/dress to wear…pretty cool!

I wear a black fit and flare dress with ruffles on the bottom
of the dress, along with black flats.

I usually add accessories to the dress since it is a simple look. In this picture I am wearing pearl bracelets, and a sparkly statement necklace.

I hope you liked this peek into my work wardrobe. Have a wonderful  rest of the week my loves ❤

Head And Toe

Most head to toe posts show an outfit and analyze it, from head to toe (top to bottom). I am putting a little spin on the traditional head to toe post and making it a head and toe post.

I decided to focus literally on my head and my toes, well the bottom region of my legs!

In the “head” portion of my outfit, I am wearing cute gold headband and a pair of front-back earrings, both purchased at Torrid.

Front-back earrings look really cool from all angles. Unlike traditional backed earrings, front-back earrings usually have a special back like a stud, pearl, or a cool shape like a cone or diamond.

In my selfie you can’t see my chic back, so I took a close up shot of it so everyone could see (pictured above). My back is a gold cone with tiny rhinestones around the edge of it.

Aside from my gold headband and stylish earrings, I am also rocking crazy, wild hair! Normally I try to braid it, so that my hair turns out curly, but instead I decided to just wear my kinky fro.

Now it’s time to jump all the way down the body to the “toe” portion.

I am really excited about my shoes! Can anyone guess why???

If you guessed because I finally brought a pair of moccasins, you are correct!!!

I am wearing my newly purchased moccasins from Marshalls and I am super excited about them because I’ve wanted moccasins for months now and they were on my Cyber Monday Wishlist!

My moccasins are light brown and the inside is line with soft fur. They are really comfy! I paired my moccasins with dark brown legwarmers, which keep your lower legs warm and are super trendy accessories.

I enjoyed writing this Head and Toe post and I hope you enjoyed reading it! And remember to:
