Sensible Stylista

Shoetopia

 I'm very excited to share one of my favorite looks with you guys today.  As you all know, I'm a huge fan of layering.  Even in warm weather, I'll very often throw on a light cardigan to top off my look (see posts below). 

For today's featured outfit, I centered my look around my new printed dress courtesy of Zaful.  I've seen this design on many different websites with varying price tags.  This particular one is available HERE for $11.10.  I have to say, I'm a big fan of the print itself, but the craftsmanship isn't impeccable.  It's a shame because I personally really like this item.  The fabric itself is fine, but the collar's needlework isn't great.  However, I still wear it out all the time anyway. 
Today's ensemble is a transitional look.  I'm going to publish an article on how to incorporate summer staples into cooler weather in the near future so keep an eye out.  Summer dresses work beautifully in the Fall.  It's quite simple actually.  All you have to do is throw on outerwear and boots (tights are optional, of course), and you're good to go.

Let's take a closer look at my new booties from Shoetopia. I absolutely love the fringe detailing because it adds a boho vibe to my look. Here's some basic info for you guys.  The shoe fits true to size, and the heel's 3.25" high.  It's made of faux-suede, but the quality's legit - think mid- to high-end Nine West.  These beautiful boots are available HERE for $36.99 + free shipping.

Velvet Heart: The Tencel Dress

I'm very excited to tell you guys all about my new tencel dress from Velvet Heart.  It's ridiculously comfortable, and I absolutely love the fabric.  It seriously feels like butter on my skin!  This flirty, short-sleeve dress has a gathered waist with side pockets.  FYI, Velvet Heart is based in LA.  Their collection oozes style with ease - think Neiman Marcus quality clothing.  If you haven't shopped their line yet, you must do so STAT!  I especially like their tencel button-fronts - available here.
Here's a full body shot for you guys! I styled my dress simply because I'm all about minimalism as of late - I think my style's definitely changing!  I accessorized with my favorite dainty necklace (from Kitsch) and threw on a hat to top off today's look.

Find of the Day + Ann Taylor Shoe Sale

Alright guys, I literally JUST featured these heels in today's post - click here if you missed it.  However, I wanted to showcase 'em again for a number of reasons. 

1.  They're ridiculously cute and comfortable - that's saying A LOT because they're almost 4" high.
2.  They're on sale for $35 (!!!) - they were originally $138.
3.  Everyone needs animal print in their life, ha.
4.  ...and I need to share more crazy fashionable shoe picks from Ann Taylor's sale with you guys.
I mean, just look at those heels!  They're SO cute, and they add so much personality to an ensemble.  If you're afraid of wearing animal print because you find it bold, these heels are a good way to start.  The print's very subtle due to its neutral color.  At 3.75", these shoes may seem intimidating, but like I said, they're super comfy because they have padded footbeds.    You also don't have to worry about them slipping off because they have zippered straps.  I can't recommend these enough!  Make sure you buy a pair for yourself HERE.
