It was new years eve and it took me three dresses to try on in my closet to finally find what I was going to wear. Both my husband and I worked this day at Publix, so it was a long and hard day, which we barely made into the night. I had just bought some goodies at Sephora and this would be the perfect night to try many of them.

Dress from Ross, belted bow from Rainbow, booties from Sears, earrings from Miss A and bracelet from Burlington Coat Factory.

My husband and I arriving at the in laws place.

i created this look with the Huda Beauty obsessions palette in smokey, Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pomade in taupe for the brows and Tarte Cosmetics tartiest lip paint in bounce.

My nexgen Christmas nails that lasted well into the new year.

It was late, lighting wasn't too great, but we still wanted to take a celebratory picture with one of the new years snapchat filters just before heading home to crash.

On this day I wanted to pair a peplum top with a tight skirt, I liked the look, but would've been better if the skirt was longer. I tried to pull it down as much as I could, but with this material, it just kept riding up. Again since my new handbag is blue, thought it would go great with a dark blue. This was for December, so temperatures here were still not as hot as the normal.

The peplum top is from rainbow, skirt was a gift from a friend, stripped jacket from Forever 21, handbag from dd's discount and booties from Sears.

Necklace came with a top bought at Rainbow, earrings from Forever 21, engagement ring from Zales website, watch from Target and bracelets from Miss A.

I was doing some Christmas shopping at dd's discount, which is my new favorite store that has pretty decent items for very favorable prices. This was the first time I went for Christmas shopping and boy was I surprised at how many gift ideas there were. This is the store I go for my scrubs and have found many for work as well as clothes, shoes and accessories for my niece and nephew. The necklace I'm wearing was made by me, the earrings are from Valsan, a store known here in Miami, Target watch and Miss A pearl bracelet.

This first one I found was the perfect style for my boss at the orthopedic office. As a 40 something year old woman who seems to have style, this screamed her name and I was right because she loved it and at the price of $11.99, even better.

This royal blue luggage style tote, I immediately fell in love with for myself, as I am a fan of blue. Not only was it the color and the style I fell in love with, but the price as well, how could you not for $11.99? It is now one that I use almost everyday now.

The black version, shown here with the side zippers closed was for a long time family friend.

It was my day off after the closing shift the night before that was until midnight. I wanted to take advantage of the morning and dye my hair to even out the color, so I would only need to dye the top part of my head. Once I was done, the plans for the day were to meet up with my friend and again continue dress shopping, but this time at the Ross in Coral Gables. But I first made a pit stop at my job to pick up an order for canolis I had placed and of course to see my boyfriend and be with him at the end of his shift. Every time I go there, I get fed by my coworkers and this time was no different. I had chose to wear a skirt because my legs were shaved and I wanted to take advantage, but it was a bad day to wear one as it was a very windy day and at one point in the day, my skirt flew up.

My tips still looked lighter as you can see in the pictures.

Top from Rainbow, skirt from Ross and sandals from Rainbow.

Earrings were a gift from Colombia, necklace came attached to a top from Rainbow, ring was bought from an online wholesaler, watch from Target, blue bracelet from Miss A and pearl bracelet from mini in the box.
