Excuse the goofy face. I don't know what I was doing in this pic, but the hair action is awesome, lol!
Thanks to winning a giveaway from Rosa of the Rosa Loves blog, I had a gift card just waiting to be used. So my honey and I headed into D.C. for a little brunch action at Co Co Sala yesterday. This is the place if you are a chocoholic! I have never had so much chocolate in one meal, but a frozen hot chocolate and chocolate covered bacon sure is one way to have a meal you won't forget.
I've always loved the look of those sexy Herve Leger bandage dresses, but tight and sexy don't usually define the look that I go for in my clothing choices. But not too long ago, I ventured into a Macy's dressing room with a BCBG knit skirt just to try on with something and ever since I've thought I should have one for myself. However, knowing I won't get a ton of wear out of it, this Forever 21 knit skirt fit the bill just fine. To keep myself straying too far from my comfort zone, I paired it with a blousy top. It had me feeling not so indecently exposed and let's just say the new skirt got a man-approved thumbs up. ;)
When was the last time you wore something out of the ordinary for you and what were you wearing?
Outfit Details:
Black elastic belt- J. Crew
Orange/gold elastic bracelets- Accessories & Beyond
I like how you paired the breezy white blouse with the brown/orange color family. I'm a little self-conscious about body hugging skirts, too. But I bought one last year from F21; they're the best place to get stretchy skirts!
ReplyDeleteI really like this outfit! The skirt is so cute and love how you paired it with that blouse.
ReplyDeleteHmm...I'm sure it wasn't too long ago I wore something I usually wouldn't but of course I can't remember right now :)
Love the bandage skirt! I have one, but I am too afraid to wear it sans tights!
ReplyDeleteYay so happy that you enjoyed CoCo Sala, it is one of the best places in DC.
ReplyDeletewow great pics, you look good!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!!
ReplyDelete@basiccravings- I had a little bit of Spanx going on, so I can understand why you would limit your wear of super tight skirts.
@Rosa-I'm so happy you sponsored that giveaway! I'll definitely head back for dinner because I've heard great things from multiple people about the mac n' cheese.
This is such a great look! I love the pop of color from your handbag. I feel the same way a\bout tight dresses and skirts and would have styled it exactly the way you did. You look amazing!
