This week was a little intense for me not just because I’ve been trying to keep up a post a day for this blog series, but also because of the cupcake decorating and the amount of work that I got through this week. Lately it has felt like the days have been going by faster and I feel I’ve been busier. It feels good to be productive, but I am looking forward to relaxing this weekend. 
Today’s dress is a black and white print dress in a body-hugging fabric. I found this DVF piece at Nordstrom Rack and it is not often I splurge on designer pieces. When I tried this on though, it had to come home with me. It is hard for me to resist buying something when I feel good in it and like how it looks on me. The print is very versatile and I’ve worn it before with red pumps and red lips. It is great for work, but I can easily see it working for a date. I’ve been using my Kate Spade pen necklace in a lot of my outfits for work and can’t get enough of it. It is the perfect accessory for all of my DVF dresses.
Hope you had a great Friday and I’ll see you back here tomorrow!Brandy| BLOGLOVIN | FACEBOOK |  INSTAGRAM |TUMBLR | TWITTER |

Whew -What a night! I made 2 dozen cupcakes for two different graduation parties and delivered them this morning. I was up pretty late and showed up to work later than usual and did not get a chance to take a photo of one of the batches, but trust me when I say they came out cute.
Today’s DVF post features a wrap dress in a kimono style with an obi style waist and fan print. If you’ve been following my blog for awhile, you’ll know that I am a big fan of Japanese culture and have visited the country a few times. I love finding pieces of clothing that say a little bit more of my personality and interests aside from Fashion. 
It’s almost Friday! See you tomorrow with my next DVF post.Brandy| BLOGLOVIN | FACEBOOK |  INSTAGRAM |TUMBLR | TWITTER |

We’ve entered the second leg of this series and I am stoked to be sharing one of my favorite wrap dresses that I found thanks to Poshmark.I was able to pay for it using money I had made on some sales, which is definitely a win-win in my opinion. I enjoy this type of guilt-free shopping and I’ll admit that my statement necklace is also another Poshfind.
I am a fan of polka dots, and the sheer detail in this wrap dress is amazing. Wrap dresses show off your body, and I feel the sheer detail makes the dress slightly sexier while the polka dots keeps it sweet. Perfect for work, but I would also wear this for date night or even to a graduation ceremony.
Speaking of graduations, I am baking cupcakes for 2 graduations tonight so I will more than likely have a later post than usual up tomorrow. I hope to share some photos on Instagram later, so make sure to follow me under my username willbakeforshoes. See you tomorrow,

Blue Jori Shift Dress Diane von Furstenberg | Trench Coat Banana Republic | Hot Pink Bag Nine West (Buy it on Poshmark here) | Metallic Heels Manolo Blahnik | Necklace unknown | Bangles Coach Day 20! We officially at the halfway point of this blog series! When I first started this series I thought it would be very time consuming and that it would drag on a bit. It is time-consuming, but that fact that I’ve reached Day 20 this quickly is amazing to me! I still have a lot of dresses and tops I want to share, and I don’t think I can fit them all into this series! I do want to thank my photographer, and significant other, Armando, for helping me with this project. I know we still have a ways to go, but you always being patient and helping me take outfit photos during your finals means a lot to me. Thank you for helping me smile during and after our shoots and reminding me to change my poses every now and then.
Within this series, this trench coat has made a few appearances and it really is the perfect Spring coat. I dream of owning a Burberry trench coat one day, but this one works quite well and I love how it tied in seamlessly with my bone colored statement necklace and blue dress. I don’t always find my DVF pieces at Crossroads. This dress I actually splurged on at Sak’s Off Fifth at the Livermore Outlets. I had some money burning a hole a in my pocket and decided to treat myself to a DVF dress. None of the wrap dresses were calling to me as I tried them on, but the color and cut of this dress left me in awe with how it fit my body. I love the color and how it pairs well with pink. The pink bag is actually listed for sale on my closet at Poshmark. You can shop for it under my username willbakeforshoe.
Thanks to you for making it the halfway point with me too. I hope you enjoy the other half of this series and I look forward to finishing what I started.
