Meowwwww....

Ok, so this type of bow is NOT called a kitten bow, it is called a "pu**y" bow.  But, for all of my prudish readers out there I will continue to refer this bow as a kitten bow...

A kitten bow is a style of neckwear often associated with a women's and girl's blouses and bodices.  It takes the form of a bow tied at the neck similar to those tied around the neck of kittens, cats, and the like. This bow is not 100% a kitten bow, but it is pretty darn close.

Outfit details

Dress: Fab'rik 

Shoes: Nordstrom 
Makeup: Too Faced 

Earrings: Vintage from my mom's jewelry box

For this look I paired a delicate dress with a hard heel.  I do like pairing feminine/girly dresses with a tougher shoe or jacket.  This gives the outfit more dimension, in my opinion.  

You could also wear this dress with a flat or simple more dainty heel.  

This look is a great staple piece that can dress up any occasion and will remain timeless.  It would be a great dress to wear to church, a fancier Sunday Brunch, birthday party or date night.  Again with the accessories you can dictate if you want this dress on the more feminine side.  Wearing a delicate shoe, small studded earrings and an over the shoulder purse would be a perfect girly pairing.

I also love how this dress shows a little skin with the sleeves and a thin piece around the midsection being sheer.  In no way does the sheer elements cheapen this look! To me, it actually adds a bit of excitement and draws the eyes in even more. With some dresses, I think the sheer element takes over the dress, but not with this one at all. Be ready to feel elegant in this dress and event ready- no matter what the event may be!

Summing this look up: I think anyone who tries this dress on will immediately feel more girly and want to show this little number off!  

Fall Into Florals

A Top Trend for Fall 2018- Florals!

Once upon a time, florals were a print you'd only think to wear between April and August...

You can only wear floral patterns in the Spring and Summer months right? WRONG! 

Floral patterns are making a big push moving into our Fall and Winter months. Saying I am thrilled about this is an understatement.  I love wearing floral patterns and I love even more that during the darker colored fashion months we have these pops of color and whimsy to add to our wardrobe!

Dress: H&M

Earrings: H&M

Shoes: Nordstrom

Floral prints literally go with everything! Florals are versatile and surprisingly pair with other patterns very well.  I love wearing floral prints with striped patterns and even a polkadot pattern. 

This blog post will focus on just this dress, but later into the fall months I will focus on florals and pairing them up patterns most wouldn't think of. 

  For fall 2018, floral designs mesh beautifully with black or dark tones, which we all know are the go-to colors for the winter season.  But,  if you do not love darker tones and are looking to wear lighter and more playful shades this year, flowers and foliage are also your effortless solution to keep things from being boring and too plain.  

I personally love this dress from H&M because:

1. This dress can be worn year round. Wear it in the Spring with a cute little flat or wear it in the winter with a black leather coat and knee high boots.

2. It is a floral pattern, enough said!

3. It is flowy and lose fitting. Which anyone who knows me knows I hate anything tight!

 4. It has hints of metallic throughout the dress. The hints of metallic gives this dress even more dimension and makes it even more of a show stopper.

**The pictures does not do this dress justice 100% because you cannot see the gold metallic. It helps bring this dress to a more sophisticated level in my opinion.** 

I decided to pair this look with booties from Nordstrom.  The booties go with everything and they help the outfit stay on the casual side. If I wanted to dress this look up for an evening look I would pair it with a nice nude heel, this heel is on sale, if I were you I would go check them out now! I would also pull my hair back in a tight bun and have statement jewelry to take this outfit go from day to night.

So, summing up florals- they go with EVERYTHING and if you haven't bought florals for this season  yet I would check out the link below.  The link is from H&M and has many floral options for you to chose from. The best part, they are all under $70!
