40 Days of DVF: Day 27

Pink, Yellow, Teal Dotted Top Diane von Furstenberg | Navy Shorts Momo wonderrocket.com, | Pink d’Orsay Flats Dolce Vita | White Leather Cross Body Bag Coach | Peacock Ring Forever 21 | Sunglasses DGAnother DVF post featuring some Crossroads finds. Both the top and flats are from two different Crossroads, but when I first saw the top I initially wasn’t so sure about it. I thought I could never be afraid of color, but for a brief moment I thought this top is way too loud. Then I tried it on, and the fit was too good and I do not regret bringing it home with me. I think keeping the rest of the outfit a little understated helped keep it from going overboard, but the print is pretty small so it isn’t overwhelming either. This is a fun look and I see myself wearing it again later in the summer running errands or going to an amusement park.
I am looking forward to this short work week, although it already felt like I had to do twice as much today since our office was closed yesterday. I am going to a baseball game tomorrow with my coworkers, but I will make sure to have my DVF post up before I go off to do that. See you tomorrow for Day 28!

40 Days of DVF: Day 26

I had today off from work and Armando finished school last week, so today was dedicated to just spending time together. We hopped in his Mini early this morning and made our way to the Paragon Livermore Outlets. I don’t share my shopping hauls on my blog, but I will admit to buying the Marc by Marc Jacobs watch today along with some Ghiradelli Chocolate.
After our shopping trip, we visited the Subpar Mini Golf Center in Alameda. Armando and I can get pretty competitive, and it showed as we were very attentive in keeping score. In the end he won 55-53, and I treated him (and myself) to some ice cream from Tucker’s Ice Cream Shop up the street from the mini-golf course. We walked along Park Street and he and I are both interested in coming back to try a couple of the restaurants on this street.
Today was really fun and I am amazed we were able to do all the things we did. We fit this outfit shoot by Alameda City Hall after our walk and we were both pretty tired afterwards. My cardigan is the featured DVF piece for today, and I went with a nautical look thanks to the white stripe detail.  It is a vintage piece and I like how it works with my trendier red Zara dress. I have this cardigan listed for sale on Poshmark, but it is also one of those pieces I might change my mind from selling and keep. 😉
Hope you enjoyed your Monday (whether you had a day off or not), and I will see you tomorrow.

40 Days of DVF: Day 25

Orange Angea Dress Diane von Furstenberg (Buy here) | Denim Jacket Heritage 1981 | Signature C Tote Coach | Belt unknown | Gold Earrings Forever 21 | Gravee Blush Patent Sandals Steve MaddenToday was nothing like the lazy Sunday I tend to look forward to. I was busy this morning taking care of this photo shoot, cleaned the apartment and then went for a bike ride. The front wheel of my bike blew out the day after Bike to Work Day and not even days after Armando had patched it up, I experienced another flat today. I managed to get pretty far from my apartment, but walking back with my bike wasn’t too bad. My goal was to get a workout in and that proved to be effective. 
Today’s DVF outfit post features a fun summer dress that I actually have listed for sale in my closet on Poshmark. Despite it being in my typical size range, I feel the straps are a little too long for me and they tend to fall down more often than I’d like. I added the belt to define my waist, but also to keep the dress up in the event the straps slipped passed my shoulders. Other than that, it is a beautiful color and pops against the jean jacket. I am also wearing a pair of flats I found earlier this week at Marshall’s that I have never tried before. I am not a big fan of sandals, but I feel I finally found a pair that works for me. The heatwaves we’ve experienced in the Bay Area was also the other reason I made an effort to really find a good pair of sandals. 
Hope you like my weekend look in this dress and check out my listing on Poshmark if you want to make it yours. (I’d recommend moving fast since I might change my mind seeing how great it looks!) See you tomorrow!

40 Days of DVF: Day 24

Green and Tan Arlene Jacket Diane von Furstenberg | Cream Top Alice + Olivia | Grey Skinny Jeans 7 For All Mankind | Flats Dolce Vita | Voyage Satchel JustFAB!I’ve been wearing a lot of dresses lately, so I thought it would be nice to mix in one of the only DVF jackets I own into this series. I kept the color palette neutral to let the green print stand out. I’ve worn my Dolce Vita flats a few times during this series, and I must say that I love them! I’ve been really into loafers lately and have accumulated a few in the past few months thanks  +Poshmark App . While I love my heels, I like having a flat shoe in case I need to run an errand.
Hope you had a great Saturday and I’ll see you tomorrow for Day 25!

40 Days of DVF: Day 23

Black and White Dress Diane von Furstenberg (Buy here) | Nude Ulltra Pumps Steve Madden | Black Legacy Satchel JustFAB! (Buy here) | Sunglasses Diane von Furstenberg | Pen Necklace Kate Spade | Ring Crush on College I love Friday, but I love the Friday’s of a three day weekend even more! 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 |
