The Dress

As you can probably imagine, fashionistas take the statement “dress to impress” to a whole new level during NYFW. Luckily, you can always rely on Nasty Gal when you’re in the market for a spicy statement piece. This dress will definitely have heads turnin’ whether you’re in the Big Apple or out with your sweetie for V-Day. A fun take on the traditional LBD, the black sheer design is simply chic and the magenta floral embroidery adds a unique touch. But can we talk about the shoulder pads?! Talk about a blast from the past!

The Shoes

To my advantage, I already own a pair of pearl stunners that would look great with this dress. Check out how I styled them for my Birthday here. However, velvet booties would create a visually appealing contrast and I have my eye on this pair. They are 50 % off – hooray! If you have had enough of the bootie scene, consider a pair of transparent heels. This hip style is about to make a grand entrance into the fashion scene and the “Portal” in smoke is a good starting point.

The Accessories

Bare legs in freezing temperatures is not smart. Consider pairing sheer black tights with this ensemble. For added warmth, top a black fur vest (similar to yesterday’s look) over it. Add a pop of color with Sephora’s cream lip stain in Blackberry Sorbet.

The “crazier” I dress, the more questions I am asked. The more questions I am asked, the more opportunities I have to spread the word about my blog! It’s a win win. Warning: You WILL get noticed in a jacket like this. Have you ever seen a neon moto jacket?! See, there you go! But just like any other statement piece, you can tone it down. If you must…

Black is always safe and it does not have to be boring. When I found this mock neck maxi dress, I knew it needed something to put it over the edge. Normally I would layer up with necklaces and earrings, but half of the reason this dress is such a sharp piece is because it is SO sleek. This yellow moto jacket was the perfect finishing touch. I used to avoid wearing garments with silver hardware, as I prefer gold, but it is one of my fashion resolutions to mix metals. I accessorized with black accents – a purse and tassel earrings and polished off the look with pearl embellished booties (last seen here). Is there something you once said you would “never wear?” I would love to hear!

Over the last five years, fit and flare garments have become consumer favorites. Fashionistas of all shapes and sizes are wearing this shape. Almost every bride in my peer group dresses in a “mermaid” style gown and I do not blame them for doing so. There is nothing sexier than a hip hugging silhouette!

This fit and flare skirt is only $42 at Chicwish and available in blue or burgundy. Dress it with a button-down blouse for a sophisticated look, or pair it with a bodysuit for a night on the town. I chose the latter and spiced things up with a velvet and lace bodysuit. I completed the look with sheer tights and my favorite pearl accents.

Cinderella is proof that a pair of shoes can change your life. If you don’t ‘buy it”, then you probably do not own a pair by Jeffrey Campbell. Each and every shoe is crafted beautifully and is incredibly unique. These pearl embellished booties will add a little Beyonce to every ensemble you style them with.
