First of all, I’d like to apologize for the poor picture quality. As embarrassing as it is, I… had to use a point and shoot camera because my “better-one-which-I-don’t-know-how-to-use” ran out of batteries. I’d also like to apologize for the ugly floor. I’ve never said it, but it’s atrocious. It’s ugly now, and it’s ugly in my Outfit of the Day posts. If my mom read this, she’d probably smack me. Ugh.

Anyways, I’m undecided on what kind of image this outfit portrays. Am I classy and chic? Stuck-up and boring? Or a hip modern day investigator? Like, Sherlocklia Holmes?

Regardless, I made a bold move by wearing red lipstick. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve made many attempts to wear it, but they’re always followed by tissue dabbing.. and then vigorous rubbing, after realizing that red lipstick doesn’t come off easy. The H&M “color block” (more suitably, boring block) dress was a steal at $20. I ended up buying 2 of them… but I need to get them altered as they’re a little looser than I’d like.

My style is usually more street wear, but I thought I’d mix it up a bit with something dresser. Yay? or Nay? I should probably start posting some work outfits to avoid boring you to death.

I suddenly had the urge to revive this fedora… after owning it for about 2 years and probably only wearing it once. I think I’ve worn it 4 times in the past month. That’s record breaking. I have an un-surfaced attraction to all sorts of hats and headpieces. Sometimes, I end up buying them. And when I do, they end up collecting dust in my closet. I haven’t gotten quite comfortable with wearing something on my head. I feel kind of silly. And it makes me feel kind of self conscious. Like the feeling I get when wearing glasses. That shit lowers my self-esteem. Ten fold. Even if you think I “look good in them.” Now sunglasses…. that’s a different story. Are you a hat person?

Hi every bunny! I’m on to look #3 with this sequin dress. We’ve done the party look and the dressy daytime look. Now we need to style it so we can wear this dress into the evening! I paired the sequin dress with a heavier sweater to create a look more appropriate for evening events, happy hour or maybe a dinner date. The blazer over top makes the outfit more structured, smart and put together. Depending on your work or company, you can throw on a pair of opaque tights and make it business casual for networking events, schmoozing and whatever else the night may bring. ;) (And I say depending on your work because the dress is a mini!)

If I styled this outfit again, I’d switch out the shoes and wear these instead. They didn’t do the outfit justice. It actually kind of bugs me every time I look at it. Oh well.

So dinner, anyone?

Last winter, I really wanted a sequin dress. Kirasoli heard my cry and sent me this cute sequin mini dress! Let me tell you something — if you want attention, wear a sequins. They’re bold, flashy, and the perfect weapon for eliciting a second look. I love sequin dresses, and I’d definitely look you up and down if you had one on… over and over again. Awkward.

It’s not the kind of dress you think you’ll get much wear out of — not something you’d wear during the day or even on a normal night out, but something you save for special occasions and glamorous events… right?? Considering that I missed the holiday season and I’m doing this thing where I’m being more of a homebunny, it didn’t sound like I’d get a chance to wear this dress for a while… or can I?

So I turned on my rusty brain and after some playing around, I came up with 4 different ways to style and wear this sequin dress, starting with the most basic, look #1 — the party dress! I’m guessing most people would have worn black or dark shoes with this, but I’m more of a light person, so I stuck to my likes.

While you’re at it, check out the rest of Kirasoli‘s shop for blouses, dresses and bottoms and for the next week, get 10% off your purchase with code: BB10. For US orders over $75, you can also get FREE shipping with code: FreeShipping2012. Coupons expire March 25th at 11:59pm PST.

My BFF and I had so much fun playing with this dress and I’m so excited to unveil the rest of the looks over the week!

OMG, look at her dress.

Did your heart skip a beat? Mine did. It also overflowed with want and lust. H&M‘s Exclusive 2012 Conscious collection features red-carpet inspired glamour, made from more sustainable materials such as cotton, hemp and recycled polyester… which is all in line with H&M’s Conscious initiative. The glamour collection shows how greener fashion has become much more diverse, encompassing individual style with a touch of inspiration from the red carpet.

I love the gowns — especially the tiered ruffles and skirt with train. Not to mention the florals and lime greens as well. Now if only I had some invites to glitz and glam parties and balls…. which doesn’t happen much here. How often do you get to go to an event where you can where a gown? Regardless, once I have the dress, I’m going to find somewhere to wear it!

The collection launches worldwide April 12 in select stores. Mark your calendars.

Which one catches your heart?

H&M floral pants | Zara sweater | Michael Kors Pressley pumps,
watch | Halston Heritage clutch | Aldo necklace, bracelet 

 I went to H&M today with my BFF and saw these pants hanging on the rack in the front. These pants, along with tops, dresses all in the same print. In large amounts. I was kind of ticked off. I received these pants ( which I adore ) for Christmas last year. Last year they cost, something like $60. At this moment, in stores, right now, they are $15. FIFTEEN. I touched them. I looked at them. I’m not sure if there’s a difference. To me, they look the exact same. So if you’re looking to get on this trend but don’t want to spend a fortune, H&M is your store. Just don’t be surprised when you see a bunch of other people wearing the same thing.

I’m still appalled.

XO,

PS – Not sure why the H&M site sells the trousers for $17.95. Get them in stores, they’re cheaper. If you don’t believe me, I took a picture.
