My Art Project

This look is what I refer to my “art project.” Using mixed mediums (a beaded corset and a water color skirt), I was able to piece together an eye-catching ensemble. Incorporating different textures into your outfit is a great way to create dimension and appeal. In this case, the pearl corset is an unexpected element to the design. The neon on the top and bottom (neon slides) pulls everything together into a cohesive look.

Are you new to the neon trend this spring? I mentioned this during a radio segment with Shan and Greg last week on 99.7Now – neon is HOT and totally classy. It can be mixed with traditional spring pastels and conservative garments. I’ll admit it, this outfit is suitable for the younger generation and maybe a bit “wild.” My art project is elegant and appropriate for gals of all ages. The bustier can easily be swapped out for a beautiful blouse. Now that you see graceful and chic neon can be, are you willing to give it a go?!

When has a suit ever been unacceptable?! NEVER…knock ’em dead at the holiday party in this metallic pants suit. Pair it with a black cami and killer earrings, or glitter sandals and a low bun. It is all about balance when you style statement pieces.

The fit and flare silhouette it is flattering for every body type and this glamorous skirt is literally #goals. It would look stunning with a dainty sandal and crop top. But for a reserved look, pair it with a black top and pumps instead.

Embellished jeans are IN – plain denim is OUT. Step up your style game during the holidays with pearl adorned denim. Dress your jeans with winter white and a statement earrings. Now this is what I refer to as simply chic!

The Experience

This one-of-a-kind museum exhibit features over 10 brilliant rooms and they’re all instagram-able. I can assure you that you’ve never seen anything “sweeter!” From carnival games, life-size gummy bears, floor to ceiling Pop Rocks, to a swimming pool full of sprinkles, here you will live your best “big kid in a candy shop” moment! Enjoy samples from Salt & Straw (yay no line), glitter coated cotton candy, and unicorn ice cream (that’s actually a thing) as you make your way through Candy Land.

 

 

The Outfit

Now that you know what to expect during a visit to the Museum of Ice Cream, it is time to discuss the attire! Definitely plan for pants with a stretchy waistband! When I think of candy, the color pink comes to mind. Maybe that is because I associate pink with bubblegum. Regardless, I had a funny feeling I would compliment the ambiance at the Museum of Ice Cream in this puff sleeve top. Luckily I was right! Add a few sparkles and you could have mistaken me for the cotton candy! No really though, you already know my feeling about cropped jeans…this time around I paired them with pearl embellished loafers. I still can’t believe I own a pair of flats. Who am I?!

During my visit to BAUBLEBAR HQ, it became evident that tassels are not going anywhere. If you’re in the late majority, now is the time to hop on the bandwagon! Again, start simple (this ivory pair will match with everything) then branch out. I love these frilly adornments because they effortlessly funk up your ensemble.
