Fashion Friday : Natural Neutrals

Given that I'm fair skinned and blonde, I tend to steer clear of the neutrals.

Actually, come to think of it - neutral, in my mind, has always equaled boring.

Maybe it's the cooler, less humid weather I've experienced over the past year or maybe it's the fact that I'm growing up, but neutrals now equal classy and ultra feminine.  I just love a pale nude pink polish, or a creamy beige blazer, a genuine leather carryall or a slouchy tan knit sweater.  Autumn is the perfect season to ditch the neon and fall into your neutrals.

Need a little inspiration??

Are you a neutrals or a brights kind of girl??   I'd say it totally depends on my mood, but neutrals don't necessarily mean bland in my book anymore...

Cheers!

Fashion Friday : Nine to Five

9-5: Dress Me Up and Take Me Out! The Work Dress


{via shabby apple}

Hello there from FL, Chesli again for your Fashion Friday!

Probably the easiest outfit to put together for work is a dress...because you don't actually have to put it together. It's like the pop-tart of outfits. It's done in a ding, and I leave my closet singing, glory to the heavens, I'm going to be on time!

But the best part to me about work dresses is that they can so easily transform into a dinner outfit, party outfit, anything-after-work outfit! If you need to, you can always throw on a blazer or cardigan to make it work appropriate, such as with a strapless dress. 

I just stumbled upon the darlingest website of classy women's clothes under $100, shabby apple. Here are some of their looks...





I like to bring a change of shoes, a clutch, and fun accessories to exchange with my simple work accessories. Work dresses make such good bases to build upon.




Kick off your flats and strap on your boots!




 Or dress it up! I adore this feel of old, Hollywood class...

Would you wear a dress to work?

Happy dressing!

Turquoise Bilss

Spring is so close, I can almost feel it! In Florida, spring comes and goes all too quickly {usually, only lasting a few weeks}.  It's the most glorious time of year.  The breeze drifts over the ocean and into the small beach town, the flowers are in full bloom, the trees are greener than green, the white sands are glistening and the ocean is a sparkling turquoise - more inviting than bath water.  But here in Monterey, I have a feeling spring is going to be very different.  The weather seems to vary from day to day.  One day it's cold and foggy, the next its warm and sunny and then the following it's sunny with a biting wind blowing off the Monterey Bay.  I like the variety.  Its more variety than I ever had at home, but it's a bit confusing.  The Florida girl in me just wants to pull out my beach bag and a good book and head to the beach, but that probably won't be happening till my trip home in May.


Anyhow, today was on the warmer side {I was actually able to run with a mere tank top and forgo the sweatshirt}, my skin was overjoyed to feel the sun kissing it, to say the least.  It brought back sweet memories of days relaxing on the white sands of the Gulf of Mexico.  Just thinking of all that turquoise water made me anxious to see blue of any shade!  So what do I do in a moment like that?  Shop!  {Well, I haven't committed to any purchases just yet cause hubby has us on a budget, but hey! My birthday is in two weeks??}

I found the most lovely turquoise heels and a fabulous clutch to go with.  All you need is a white tank, a great pair of denim, and wavy locks - you're golden!

{Sorry it's blurry...it came from Pinterest and it served as my inspiration for my turquoise hunt}
