Elastic Heart

For today's post, I've styled a trendy look for you guys.  This is definitely a dinner + drinks kind of outfit IMO.  As I'm sure you all know, I'm a huge fan of the bandage skirt/dress.  The fabric sucks you in, makin' you look hella good.  Yeah, I know "hella' is Californian slang, but I'm jacking it, ha.

Anywho, bandage skirts are a must-have IMO.  They're so freakin' versatile.  I personally have 3 different versions in my closet: the gold mini pictured below, a gray ombre version from BCBG, and a silver/black metallic one, also from BCBG.  All affordable of course.  BCBG pieces are crazy expensive, but I copped my skirts for reasonable prices because I purchased them at outlet malls during huge blowout sales.  

I did a standard pairing for you guys today.  I styled my sparkly mini with a simple crop top courtesy of +Charlotte Russe.  Definitely the easiest way to rock a bandage skirt IMO.  I threw on a striped blazer for extra coverage and warmth!  The piece also adds personality to the ensemble.

Let's take a closer look at my earrings courtesy of Kristin Perry Accessories.  Gold tone geometric setting with crystals & beads scattered throughout - simply gorgeous. Here's some extra info for you guy: 3" long with a 925 sterling silver stud back for sensitive ears.  Clicky HERE to purchase.

A full body shot for you guys!

A shot sans blazer!  The crop top + bandage skirt combo is definitely flattering.

Love Me Like You Do

Totes obsessed with my new +AMI Clubwear bandage dress!  The two tone fabric is super flattering - creates the illusion of a smaller waist.  The bandage-y - is that even a word? ha - material works like shapewear flattering your body like whoa.  The stretchy fabric smoothes your bod and sucks you in, making you appear slimmer.  

I view the black as a faux-empire-waistline - I hope that makes sense, ha - that elongates my legs. You can't see my shoes because I didn't take a full body shot (well, I did, but they came out poopy so we'll pretend they don't exist), but I'm wearing hot silver statement heels to match my clutch.  Part of the reason why I didn't accessorize with a flashy necklace. 

A closer look at my dress!  A huge shout out to +Herve Leger - wish I could afford one of his amazing dresses, but no worries.  There are SO many affordable versions out there.  AMICLUBWEAR has a TON!  Browse their collection by clicking here.

I seriously heart my new earrings courtesy of +Anjolee - The Art of Jewelry.  I actually did a sponsor spotlight on them a while back - clicky here to see the aforementioned post - but lemme refresh y'all.  They have a huge online selection (eternity bands, statement jewelry, basically anything your heart desires), and you can fully customize a piece based on taste and budget!   Oh, did I mention free shipping for residents in the US & Canada? Yeah.  So much winning.
