Day Sparkle

Let's talk sparkle shall we?! It's not just for the holidays or special occasions. In a subtle design and styling you can very much wear sparkles in the every day.  

This pastel floral mini sequin skirt is balanced paired with a soft cozy sweater. For even more texture and warmth add a brown suede boot.

For a polished and more dressy styling add a feminine blouse.  I also think a fur vest would top it off beautifully. 

Using the colors in the skirt you can easily compliment with sweaters, blouses and jackets. Get creative! Even denim would be great.

Just Do It

 Fact: I do NOT like going to the doctor. So much that I don't do it. 

And the super horrible part is that I've had my own diagnoses along with family history. 

Like everyone who avoids doing things they don't want to do I have excuses. I eat healthy and exercise so I'm good, I'm married to a physician so I'm good, it's expensive, time-consuming and they do so little and the worst: ignorance is bliss so I don't want to know.

Also Facts: I have great health insurance, can make the time and it means the world to my family and friends that I'm healthy and taken care of so that I'm around to share life with.

We all procrastinate on the things we need/should do for all kinds of reasons. 

Recently I've established a primary care physician, was examined by the dermatologist (and had a spot frozen off my face) and had my 2nd mammogram. I'll see my gynecologist in December. 

3 Ways To Over Come Procrastination: 

Reward - when you complete the thing you don't want to do, allow yourself to something you do enjoy.

Prioritize - examine how you spend your time and adjust.

Accountability - calendar/set a date and let an encourager in your life help you. 

I have a monthly work project that I absolutely dread!!! Slowly but surely I'm improving on completing it on time using the 3 things above!

Savvy Shirt Dress

 A shirt dress is a classic piece that will take you to many places for many years! Personally, I like the sharp detail of the collar and waist defining silhouette. 

This dress was such a surprise find! This design has been popular for a couple years now but at a higher price point from this designer.  I stumbled upon this look-a-like on Amazon of all places.

Fun Fact: I rarely shop amazon! 

The fabric is substantial with structure and embroidered detailing on the cuffs and hem.

Style Tips: Swap out the belt for a leather one, layer with a sweater vest and/or add print with a scarf, handbag or boots.

Concert Tee x3

 Some core memories are made at concerts and the tee isn't just memorabilia, it's a reminder that takes you back to an epic night of fun! It's also a conversation pieces and showcase a little about yourself to others.

Rather than wearing the tee with all casual pieces, get creative and mix it in with dressier pieces. 

Here are 3 ways to style a concert tee ...

with a blazer

it's unexpected and balances casual and sophisticated

with a long skirt

style with sneakers and a denim or leather jacket

with a vest

you could even do trousers and a denim vest
