Fashion to Figure Giveaway/ Vegas Trip

So recently I took a trip to Las Vegas for my best friend's wedding, let me just say I had THEE best time! When out in Vegas I had the pleasure of showing off my new items that I received from a $150 giveaway sponsored by NYC Style blogger On The Q Train and  Fashion to Figure. I must say I am in love with all of the pieces. They definitely made me feel comfortable, chic, and sexy. They added so much flair to my wardrobe!

The Aztec Cardigan was so soft and warm. It was perfect for Las Vegas weather at this time of year. 50 degrees and no coat needed! 

 

Next up was the Gold Cut Out Glitter Clutch. It made every outfit pop! The details on the clutch was so unique. I must say this now is my favorite clutch! The fact I can wear it as a cross body too! Two thumbs up from me! 

Lastly, let's talk about the Geo Print Jumpsuit! You couldn't tell me anything in this here outfit! When I say jumpsuits are scary for me, this one fit perfect. I love the funkiness of it but yet it looked classy and chic. 

Thank you Fashion to Figure and On The Q Train!! ❤️❤️

Wardrobe Revamp

 

So a little background about myself! I am on a STRICT BUDGET! In the beginning of 2013 I found myself without a job. Although I was worried about not being able to pay my bills, I was more distraught when I realized that I couldn’t go shopping every other week just because! (Yes, it’s that important to me). With my mood changes and weight fluctuating due to the stress of being unemployed, it became depressing to get dressed to go out and have fun. After wallowing in self- pity for a while, I eventually got a grip on life. I realized that having a lot of money is not the determining factor to my happiness or even to creating a great outfit. So had to “revamp” my perception on what style really was.  It’s not about buying new outfits for every occasion, it became clear to me it was all about my creativity. So I tore my closet up! I found things I forgot I had, rearranged it, got rid of things and started back to the basics. I started finding that this shirt went with those pants.  And oh! I could wear these shoes instead of those! Add a scarf, a hat, or a chunky necklace, and BAM a new original outfit!! I call it wardrobe revamping!

Above is an outfit that was revamped by me the only thing added was the kimono and socks which was all together $20.
