Casually Stripped Red

I had gone on Wednesday to Ross with my friend and on that shopping trip, I made some new purchases, which included this dress. It was my first day off of my mini vacation, my first full weekend off in 8 months that included this day that was a Friday. I chose to wear one of my new dresses that was just a plain striped t shirt dress that I played up with accessories.

New striped dress from Ross, belt was a gift and booties from Sears.

Earrings from Forever 21, freshwater pearl necklace from no more rack, which is now choxi, pearl ring was a gift from my mother, two other rings on each side of the pearl ring are from Forever 21, watch from mini in the box, red bracelet from Miss A and pearl bracelet was borrowed from my roommate.

Little Black Dress

Unknown accessories , beya 0 Comments

It was my last day working at Macy's and this was an outfit I'd been wanting to do for a while and wanted to leave for my last day. This was the outfit I was wearing when I got my Chanel lipstick and I mentioned in that post that this was the kind of outfit the Chanel employees would wear, all black with pearls. I was looking very Chanel and now I have my lipstick and mini mascara to look even more Chanel. My cousin would be picking me up after work for the weekend festivities, the one happening already when she picked me up was her dad's birthday, which was at a park, so I was definitely overdressed. Afterwards that same day, we would be doing the arts and crafts for the baby shower the next day on Sunday. My last day of work was the day I had to wake up at 5:30am after working until midnight the day before at Publix and not going to bed until 1am, thought I would be dead that day, but I was actually well rested.

Black dress from Target, which I only wore once last year for my first networking event in NYC and sandals from Rainbow.

I had really liked the pose on this picture, but hadn't noticed it came out blurry until much later and by then it was too late to retake it sadly.

I was taking this one before I started my shift, which was before the store opened and I taking it in my department of Guess, Diesel and Buffalo.

My toe was very injured since I had to carry my very overweight luggage on two buses and walk with it all the way to work, not easy.

Earrings were a gift, necklace from no more rack, which is now choxi, ring from Beya and pearl bracelets from Miss A.

The freshwater pearls necklace is actually a 13" long necklace made into a three row one.

Black on Black on Black

Unknown accessories , beya 0 Comments

I called this post black on black on black because it was a lot of black on black going on, from the top to the pants to the booties to the bra to the panties to the socks, it was just a lot of black. I do really like wearing black, but this just happened for that day. Since for Macy's the ideal work wear is all black, I went with it on this day and more. I bought new booties the day before, which are the type I've been looking for more casual wear, since the ones I have are heeled and for more elegant events. The peplum top is from Rainbow, skinny jeans from Walmart backpack from Payless and booties from Sears.

A better view of my new booties from Sears that I took the day before I wore them, but the day I bought them. They are from the brand I love comfort and they were comfortable, but since I take the bus and arrive at work earlier, next time I will just put them on when I'm about to start work. It was more than 12 hours with them on and on my feet walking. Although I still kept them on when I got home and started to get ready to go to bed, very comfortable.

Black Lace and Cupcake Skirt

Unknown accessories , Burlington Coat Factory 1 Comments

Same day, different outfit. I had bought two of these kind of skirts, cupcake skirts as they are called since they flare out and thought I could wear one of them to my friend's birthday party, I just needed a top to go with it. I went to Rainbow, which is a store very close to me, thought I could do a crop top since the skirt would be high waisted and it did work. Getting dressed and putting my jewelry on was rushed, my roommate and I had to rush out of there, so I was only able to take pictures at my friend's house.

Wore my new Macy's cupcake skirt from fsr, top from Rainbow and shoes from Payless.

Went for a classier look with all the pearls, freshwater pearl necklace from nomorerack, which is now choxi, earrings from Burlington Coat Factory, Henri Bendel bow ring, Guess watch, small pearls bracelet is Zetram Designs and the bigger pearls bracelet was taken off the neck of a stuffed dog, which was the dog from legally blonde.

Miami Came to Nicaragua

Unknown accessories , beer 0 Comments

This past Saturday was my aunt's 70th birthday and a lot of the family was getting together including her son who lives in Miami with his wife and kids all present. He came over and asked if I wanted to stay over, I said yes and had to pack in 5 minutes. Luckily I already knew what I was going to wear, so it was pretty simple. I quickly packed some jewelry, had to find something in the moment, the only thing I knew I was wearing was the pearls.

Wore a wine colored peplum top from Love Coulture, leggings and white sandals that were my mothers, but fit small on her.

36" pearl necklace from no more rack, spiral earrings from New York and Company and also wore some bracelets, all pearls, some gifted from my mother and my own designs, Zetram Designs.

Some highlights from the event, thought I'd share the decor, all brought by my cousin's wife from places like Oriental Trading and the Dollar Store.

The massive cake with added little banners made by my cousin's wife and inspired by Pinterest.

There was going to be a keg filled with local artisan beer only found in the town of Diriamba or nice restaurants, but the fridge broke down and it's the company's only machine. So they had to bring the same beer in no label bottles, which is seen in the other picture below, it was a very dark beer, but not exactly my cup of tea. To me it's the kind of beer to try once and be done.
