Polka Dots & Pops of Red

29 Jan

Dress: Polka Dot Ruffle Dress {Less than $20!}

Accessories: Bow Belt in Light Shale

Boots: Christian Louboutin Knee Boot {also love these}

Handbag: Givency Small Leather Satchel

Polka dots are so fun and playful to wear. They always put a smile on my face! When I saw this dress I just loved the flare quarter length sleeves. They really add character to the dress. This outfit is truly a combo of high and low designer… the dress is just $19, while my accessories are definitely splurge worthy designer piece. I love mixing high end designer pieces with more affordable brands to ultimately get a sophisticated chic look.

I styled this polka dot number with my high boots and a beautiful black and red stitched satchel. I just love the pops of red that are accented though the whole look. I was going back and forth between wearing this dress with these boots or pumps… but there is always next time! Also, to break up the polka dots a bit I wore a white bow belt.

I was born a fashionista… you would think I was wearing a hot pink tulle skirt and a cropped lace blouse, size: newborn. That’s how far back my passion for all things fashion goes — for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a little girl the creative fashionista fire in me has burned bright, and as I sit here today I have that same spark sizzling on and on….

I think of my style as romantic and feminine — but also creative and accessible. I like to be bold and creative with my outfit choices, styling pieces that one may not think would work with another piece. I believe that confidence comes not only from within, but also how you present yourself on a daily basis. When you walk out the house wearing a cute outfit that you feel good in, you are bound to smile! I hope to give you the confidence to put on that pleated skirt that’s been sitting in the back of your closet and feel like a million bucks prancing around in it!

I hope to instill that same confidence in my precious little princess, Madeline. Taking after her mommy, she already loves playing dress up – and you better believe that she always has a smile on her face!

I have had the pleasure of working with brands such as: Amazon, Anthropologie, Banana Republic, Christian Louboutin, Henri Bendel, Rent the Runway, and REVOLVE Clothing to name just a few. I have been featured in Crain’s Chicago Business, InStyle, and on WGN-TV.

If I give you just one idea for styling an outfit that makes you feel like a million bucks, then I will consider my work a success.
