Monarch Butterfly

Posted on July 19, 2013by Brandy Saldana

Color Block Dress Have c/o Couture Sqd | Black Blazer 7 For All Mankind | Butterfly Ring Forever 21 | Nude Ulltra Pumps Steve MaddenI am excited to be sharing an outfit I styled with a dress from Couture Sqd. What is Couture Sqd? It is a “netflix” service for clothes. For $35, you get to try 4 articles of clothing for one month. There is no monthly subscription fee and you can either buy clothes at a discount or send everything back using a prepaid label. The items in your box are selected based on style categories you pick when creating your box. For my box, I chose 2 items from Work Ready and 2 from Prints & Patterns.
This dress is the first item that stood out to me because of its bright color and overall cut. I like that Couture Sqd helps you step out of your comfort zone a bit with the clothes it sends you. I don’t particularly like python print anything, but the belt that this dress came with is very thin that it allowed me to experiment with the print. This dress comes from the Work Ready category and it should be no surprise that I styled this for a day at the office. I paired the nude pumps with the dress to match with the nude/tan colors on the belt. I then added the blazer to tone down the bright color a little. My monarch butterfly ring was the perfect finishing touch to go with this dress.
I received a ton of compliments at work for this dress, but what do you think? Have you/ would you try a clothing rental service? Let me know and stay-tuned for 3 more outfits that I’ll be styling thanks to Couture Sqd!

Black and White School Girl Look

Posted on May 13, 2013by Brandy Saldana

Black Cardigan, Black and White Top, Denim Shorts, Rings and Bracelets Forever 21 | Tights c/o HauteLegs | Flats ParisSomebody at work described me as a Japanese school girl in this outfit. I think it might have to do with the tights I had on courtesy of HauteLegs. They give the illusion of knee-highs, and I love how they completed my black and white look. This is definitely my favorite pair of tights out of the 3 I received because this is the second time I’ve worn them!
This was another one of those outfits I just threw on without planning it out the night before. Typically I have an outfit in mind that I want to wear, but this outfit came to me just before work. I had initially intended on wearing a white blouse tucked into the shorts to show off the high waist detail, but decided against it after I put on the sweater top with black ruffle detail. There was already a lot going on with this outfit, adding a ruffle blouse and tucking it in to show the detail on the shorts would have been too much. You can imagine me scrambling in the morning trying to put this outfit together quickly so I could still make it to work on time. Adding the accessories did not take long since my jewelry had been recently organized too!
I had been trying to steer away from being too matchy-matchy, but I loved this look and am so glad I was able to wear the black and white flats I purchased in Paris after graduating high school. I just have this thing for shoes, if you don’t already know.
Hope you treated your Mom to something nice this weekend!
Until next time,

Fashion Show and HauteLegs

Posted on May 9, 2013by Brandy Saldana

On Monday I attended the Femme Press Fashion Show sponsored by the City College of San Francisco at The Cellar.
My outfit for the event:

Black Trench Luii, Red and Black A-Line Dress Prabal Gurung for Target, Ulltra Black Pumps Steve Madden, Quilted Bag and Bow Ring Forever 21, Tights C/O HauteLegs I wore the dress and had a cardigan on for work during the day, but changed the look up after work for the show. I added the trench and the tights courtesy of Haute Legs. I wanted to be warm but I didn’t want my leg wear to be boring. I love the detail these tights have and I am excited to share a few more posts in the near future of tights I received from them.
In case you are interested, HauteLegs is a legwear subscription service based in San Francisco. When you visit their site, you fill out a style profile to let them better understand what legwear will suit you. Then you choose your subscription package, and before long you’ll be enjoying 3 new pairs of beautiful legwear. There is a banner on my sidebar with an offer code: Free Pair in case you’d like to try the service out. I am not making any money off new subscriptions, but I love the concept and product and want to get it out there. I absolutely love the pairs I received and cannot wait to style them!
The tights I am wearing are pretty awesome not only because they are unique, but also because they actually fit into the theme of the Fashion Show I attended. Just look at a few of dresses from the collection!

Notice the connection? Sheer panels! Super obvious right? The other similarity is all the photos had black clothes, but you get bonus points if you guessed the first answer. I felt so on trend at the show with my tights and am glad I added them at the last minute.
