Orange Dress Diane von Furstenberg | Neutral Ruffle Trench elevenses | Metallic Heels Manolo Blahnik | Gold Ring Forever 21 |  Voyager Satchel Just FAB! | Green Flower Statement Necklace unknown (found via Poshmark)Today’s outfit features a beautiful orange +Diane von Furstenberg  orange dress I scored on eBay and a contrasting green necklace I found on +Poshmark . The dress is one of few both Armando and I both like. He is definitely a fan of the wrap dresses on me, but the shape of this dress is also pretty flattering. I stuck to a neutral palette for this look and while I am wearing it in the Spring/Summer, I also would wear this in the Fall. I feel most of my DVF pieces work regardless of the season, and this dress is no exception.
Hope you enjoyed today’s look and see you back here tomorrow for Day 37.

Happy Hump Day!
Today’s DVF post features a colorful twist on leopard print. As I’ve expanded my collection of wrap dresses, I have learned that the different names each dress is given indicates the style of the dress. The “Judy” wrap dress has a built in waistband similar to the original wrap dresses. I own two in this style, but I am a bigger fan of the New Jeanne wrap dress. That being said, the Judy style wrap dress is a close second. 
I adore this fun print, especially because it has my favorite colors of green and blue. The blue is kind of subtle, so I wanted to bring it out with my heels (and because I love to match!) I’ve seen this same dress in a pink/red combo, which I love, but it might be crazy buying the same print in a different color. (Even though I have been known to do that.) The Kate Spade pen necklace makes another appearance, and I will admit sometimes I forget it is a pen. Today at a meeting I was freaking out internally that I wasn’t prepared and didn’t have a pen at least. Then I remembered my necklace and I loved it even more in that instant because it was fashionable and functional.
5 more days to go for this blog series! See you tomorrow for the next post!

(Buy here) | Monte Claude Peeptoe Pumps Christian Louboutin (Similar here) | Gold Pen Necklace Kate Spade | Rose Gold Watch Marc by Marc JacobsI can’t believe I only have 6 posts left in 40 Day series. 40 days initially seemed like a long time, but now it seems like it wasn’t enough time to share my entire collection. 
Today’s post features another wrap dress. The biggest difference between my wrap dresses is noticed in my sleeve’s length/style. Longer sleeves are perfect to wear on warmer days so I don’t need a jacket. This particular dress is one I found on eBay.  Surprisingly I have found a lot of items on eBay, but I don’t often share what I buy on their. It can be a hit or miss sometimes and one bad experience can make you weary of buying anything else. This one is from my early days on eBay and I bid on it because of the interesting print. I like how red looks on me and even more so when it is in a flattering silhouette. 
The shoes are also a find on eBay, and they were a steal! I should wear them more often, but I won’t wear open-toe shoes unless I’ve had a pedicure. I think the biggest reason I am not on eBay shopping as much as I used to is because of the lack of room I have for any new clothing. I’ve also invested in some good pieces, so I don’t need to be bidding on other items all the time. I styled this dress again with my Kate Spade Necklace and Marc by Marc Jacobs watch, showing I can reuse pieces I’ve splurged on. 
Thanks for checking out Day 34, and I’ll see you tomorrow for Day 35.

I feel I am like a broken record when I talk about the wrap dress. I’ve said it is classic, it is versatile, it is timeless over and over again. And, while I might not have anything new to say regarding this wrap dress, I will say it is one of the few I bought new and only because it was a steal. But, sometimes designer names and a good price will make me forget what size I am in a store. I actually own wrap dresses ranging from size 0-10, and I am definitely pushing it when it comes to trying to wear an 8. It was hard to resist buying this one despite it being a little bigger than I’d like. I just enjoyed that it had different ties at the waist (thinner than other wrap dresses) and it is in an interesting print. I kept the tags on it thinking I’d return it, but now I have it listed on +Poshmark in case anyone else wants to buy their own DVF wrap dress at a heavily discounted price. I only wore it for this photo shoot and if it doesn’t sell, I will more than likely keep the dress and wear it exactly like how I styled it here. I recognize I am kind of a shopaholic, but I am trying to recover thanks to Poshmark. Although, I don’t see why I shouldn’t just keep it, I have the matching shoes after all. 😉

Thanks for stopping by today and I’ll see you tomorrow for Day 34.

Brown Kimono Mini Wrap Dress Diane von Furstenberg, | Rose Gold Watch  Marc by Marc Jacobs | Gold Lima Ring Gorjana rented via Rocksbox | Gold Pen Necklace Kate Spade | Signature C Bag and Wedges Coach
It is June! I can’t believe May is already over and Summer is just around the corner. While Summer’s in the Bay Area are not entirely hot, there are days when it is over 80 degrees and I am stumped with what to wear to the office. This dress is great for appropriate for a day in the office and it is light and airy for a warm/hot day. 
I love the this kimono mini wrap dress and especially love the textue it has. For a more summery feel, I paired it with my Coach wedges and matching Coach tote.  You’ll notice I have some repeat accessories like the rose gold Marc by Marc Jacobs watch and Kate Spade pen necklace. I think the watch will become a final touch to all of my outfits just like my pen necklace has become.
Hope you had a great weekend and I’ll see you tomorrow for Day 33!
