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.

40 Days of DVF: Day 33

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.

40 Days of DVF: Day 32

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!

40 Days of DVF: Day 31

Pink Izzie Solid Trench Diane von Furstenberg | Sunglasses Diane von Furstenberg | Ring Forever 21 | Nude Pumps Steve MaddenFor today’s DVF post I thought I’d focus a little on outerwear. When you have a great trench coat, it sometimes does not really matter what you are wearing underneath. I found this piece along with my dress from yesterday at the Crossroads Trading Co. in San Jose. It fits me slightly a little too big, so I will be posting it on Poshmark soon. I do love the button detail in the back as well as the bright color, so I will be sad to see it go, but glad to see it going to a good home.
See you back here tomorrow for Day 32!

40 Days of DVF: Day 23

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 |
