In honor of the holiday season, I've decided to do a post on fabulous dresses under $50. I personally like to wear flashy dresses for parties. Since I'm "sensible," I purchase them at more affordable stores like Charlotte Russe and Forever 21 because I usually only wear 'em once or twice. I tend to frequent those stores for trendy pieces and save splurging for classics or super unique items that I love. The number I'm wearing below is from CR - I got it for $30 online during black friday sales. Unfortunately, this design's no longer available, but I'll make sure to link similar designs below!

I'm SUPER excited to partner up with STI:L today on SS for a fun collab. Trust me when I say you guys are in for a treat! I'm just going to be straight with y'all. I'm a smart-phone-a-holic. Yeah, I'm pretty much glued to my phone at all times...except when I'm practicing or studying because I literally lock my phone away. My productivity goes out the window when my cell's out. I know you feel my pain, too! Ha.
Anywho, if you're a fashion lover like me, a cute case (or several, ha) is a must-have. Lucky for stylistas everywhere, STI:L has launched. Their cases are super sturdy due to their innovative dual layer and flexible TPU inner core - the hard polycarbonate back cover protects your phone from drops and the stitch-patterned bezel around the front offers screen protection - and they straight up make BAMF fashion statements. My new case (pictured below) is my current fave. How could I possibly resist a solid animal print? The pattern's so ridiculously cute, and I absolutely love the unique color scheme. If you're looking for a new case, make sure you click HERE and get your browse on!
I actually styled my outfit around it! I saw it and thought, "man, this is a cool color scheme. I want to run with it and see what happens!" I love experiments gone right, ha. I styled a comfortable yet cute ensemble for today's OOTD. I started with my fave skinnies and threw on a simple striped sweatshirt. I topped it off with my new Ralph Lauren long knit cardigan and wore gray shoes to match.
....andddd accessorized with my fabulous STI:L case, of course. Look at how well it matches! I can't even mask my excitement. Mixing prints is a hobby of mine, ha.
Here's another case for your viewing pleasure! If you're a fan of sleek cases, this silver metallic cover should do the trick. FYI, these covers make great stocking stuffers.
I'm all about steeze (style + ease) today on SS. I've partnered up with Velvet Heart to showcase a casual yet fashionable look for y'all. I centered my OOTD around my new tunic courtesy of VH - available HERE for $89. I know it's on the pricier side, but it's worth every penny. I promise you'll love it! The design's really cute, and you're gonna get so much wear out of it.
For today's post, I wore my tunic as a dress. I paired it with my Donna Degnan coat and threw on suede thigh-high boots to up my texture game. I accessorized with my YSL crossbody. I wanted to throw on a dainty necklace, but I was running late. Le sigh. It's all good though because my bag basically doubles as jewelry anyway, ha. In my opinion, the chain's bold enough - it adds the perfect amount of bling to my ensemble.
