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,

40 Days of DVF: Day 20

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. 
See you tomorrow,Brandy| BLOGLOVIN | FACEBOOK |  INSTAGRAM |TUMBLR | TWITTER | 

40 Days of DVF: Day 16

I used to wear black colored clothing all the time because I felt it was easy to wear, but ever since I graduated, I feel I have been reaching for bright colors and prints more often. Red is one of my favorite shades, and I am convinced the little red dress is a must-have piece for any fashionista’s wardrobe. 
My love of the red dress was inspired by Zooey Deschanel in New Girl when she wears her Zara dress in the opening credits, and now I own a few dresses in red and that Zara dress. While I like how cute and sweet the Zara dress is, it doesn’t compare to the formfitting effects of a DVF wrap dress. I found this little number last weekend while shopping in SF, and it fits like a glove. I will admit I own the same dress in purple, but the material is very breathable and I could not pass this beauty up knowing the weather was going to be ridiculously hot later in the week. A red wrap dress is definitely a statement piece and it works on a hot day at the office or for a hot date at night.  
I know I am focusing on DVF during my series, but I am also really digging my bracelet. I am renting it thanks to RocksBox, and I am tempted to buy it! It is simple and elegant and I can see myself wearing it with more outfits.
And, before I forget, happy Friday! Thanks for ready Day 16 and see you back here tomorrow!

When I am at work I feel like I’ve had enough of the heatwave, and then the afternoon rolls around and I love being able to walk around at night without needing a sweater. I also appreciate being able to wear my summer skirts. Today’s DVF piece is the beige Postage Stamp skirt that looks like it is made up of feathers. I love the texture and I feel it looks like a couture piece. I dressed it down with my dark wash chambray button down and neutral flats. My flats and necklace are some of my finds while shopping on Poshmark. I was able to buy both pieces using some extra cash I made selling some of my own items and it always feels good to buy something guilt-free. If this heatwave continues I might have to wear this skirt again styled up for work again. 
Thanks for staying updated with my 40 Days of DVF series. I can’t believe I am almost at the half-way point when I have so many more outfits to share! See you tomorrow with my next post.

40 Days of DVF: Day 14

I’ve always wondered if wearing black during the middle of a heatwave was practical or a faux pax but after trying this look I would like to say declare that it is possible to wear black and not pass out from the heat. The trick is you need to wear light, breathable materials. Both my top and skirt are by DVF and both pieces can be worn in different ways. I’ve used the top during the winter, as seen here, and it just reinforces how versatile this top is. The skirt can easily be worn with a white tank and wedges for a more casual weekend look. 
Hopefully you are keeping cool wherever you are, and I’ll see you again for Day 15. Until next time,

Showing off my Alma Mater’s school colors in a cute yellow DVF dress and a blue denim jacket. I found the dress thanks to Crossroads Training Co and I am pretty sure more than 50% of my DVF collection is from there. I do enjoy searching for items online, but it feels even better finding something in store and the instant gratification of taking it home with you. I chose to wear the denim jacket with this dress since I felt it is a summer staple, kind of like a cardigan. It also toughens up and otherwise sweet look. Same goes for the necklace with spikes. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll notice it is the necklace Armando gave me for my birthday. It has other colors in it, so I felt it complimented my look without going overboard with my blue and yellow colors.
Hope you are all excited for the weekend and thank you for joining me on this blog series! See you for Day 10!
