40 Days of DVF: Day 10

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Trench Coat BB Dakota | Floral Bennetta Top Diane von Furstenberg | Jeans 7 For All Mankind | Vintage Black Cross Body Coach | P-Heaven Flats Steve Madden |Ring GiftDay 10 is finally up! I thought I wouldn’t make this post, but I got it up as fast as I could. This casual look is similar to the one from earlier this week, mainly because I used the same jeans and jacket. They are my wardrobe staples and I realize I need to do some jean shopping soon (and be on the lookout for basic t-shirts.)
This floral top is another one of my Crossroads finds along with the jeans, trench and bag. I love to take clothes I am not using and exchange them for store credit since I can always find something, but lately I’ve been selling a lot of my items on Poshmark. Crossroads is great because if something isn’t selling, I’ll just take it there. Sometimes I like getting the most I can for an unused items and other times I just want space in my studio apartment.
Hope you are having a great weekend and remember to greet your mom tomorrow for Mother’s Day. Until tomorrow,Brandy| BLOGLOVIN | FACEBOOK |  INSTAGRAM |TUMBLR | TWITTER |

40 Days of DVF: Day 9

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Jean Jacket Heritage 1981 | Yellow Dress Diane von Furstenberg | Necklace Covet Boutique |Nude Ruffle Bag Steve Madden | Colorful Bangles Forever 21 | Ring Crush | Nude Ulltra Pumps Steve MaddenHappy Friday!
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!

40 Days of DVF: Day 8

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Trench Coat BB Dakota | Floral Print Marla Bis Top Diane von Furstenberg | Navy Shirts Harajuku | Wedges Kimchi Blu | Bracelets Forever 21 | Red Hob Single Speed Bike ChargeThis post is later in the day than I would like it to be, but I am glad I am able to get it up today. Today was Bike to Work Day and in honor of that I wanted to take a photo using my new bike. I used to have a Schwinn road bike that looked like a cruiser, but I sold it and looked into getting something that was smaller and lighter for me to use. 
Normally I use sneakers or flats when I ride my bike, but it was hard to resist wearing the wedges with my summery top and shorts. (The weather was a lot colder this morning, so I ended up wearing jeans and some cute new loafers, but kept the top and short trench.) Sometimes it feels like it is hard to look cute and go bike riding, but wearing DVF makes it a little easier.
It’s almost Friday! I can’t wait to share my next outfit with you, so stay tuned for that. Brandy| BLOGLOVIN | FACEBOOK |  INSTAGRAM |TUMBLR | TWITTER |

40 Days of DVF: Day 7

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Trench Coat Banana Republic Factory Store | Green and Purple Wrap New Jeanne Two Wrap Dress  Diane von Furstenberg |  Pen Necklace Kate Spade | Bone Patent Heels Christian Louboutin | Ruffle Satchel Steve Madden Another wrap dress makes its way on my journey for 40 Days of DVF. 
I genuinely love wrap dress and fell like everyone should have at least one in their closet. I find it to be very flattering on my pear-shaped figure, but it makes any body-type look amazing. I was attracted to the purple and green pattern and actually found this dress on eBay. Same goes for the shoes. I love that I have found some quality investment pieces on there and for a fraction of what I would have paid if I bought them brand new. The necklace is an interesting piece I found at Crossroads Trading Co. 2 months ago and it is actually a pen. It reminds me a little of the necklace that Joan wears in Mad Men. The bright patterned, form-fitting dress is also probably something her character would wear, so all I am missing is the red hair. (Halloween costume idea?)
Tomorrow is Bike to Work Day. I’ll be sharing an outfit I’d bike with, so stay tuned for Day 8 of DVF.Brandy| BLOGLOVIN | FACEBOOK |  INSTAGRAM |TUMBLR | TWITTER |

40 Days of DVF: Day 6

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Short Trench Coat BB Dakota | Rosita Floral Wrap Top Diane von Furstenberg | Skinny Jeans 7 For All Mankind | Flats Christian Louboutin | Coral Bag BCBG Generation The only thing close the effortless wrap dress is a cute wrap top. I adore this floral top and as luck would have it, I recently spotted another one for sale on Poshmark. If you want to get your hands on one I would stop by @izzyshoegal closet. I also spotted it on eBay for a little more here, but you can get a better deal on Poshmark. If you don’t have a Poshmark account you can always join using my referral code HAEWR and start out with $5 shopping credit. (Yay for saving money!)
I’ve been sharing a lot of outfits lately that I have worn to work and I thought it’d be nice to dress down and share an outfit I would wear for the weekend while I am running errands or going shopping in. The top is versatile and can be dressed up or down, but it is very girly with the print and pleated ruffles. I do incorporate extra color with my bag and red lipstick, but I tone the look down just a bit with my neutral trench coat, jeans and metallic flats. 
Hope you are having a great week and are looking forward to Day 7! Brandy| BLOGLOVIN | FACEBOOK |  INSTAGRAM |TUMBLR | TWITTER |

40 Days of DVF: Day 5

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Navy Y Green Jilda Wrap Dress Diane von Furstenberg | Navy Cardifan Banana Republic Factory Store | Necklace Betsey Johnson | Nude Satchel JustFAB! | Nude Ulltra Pumps Steve Madden | Sunglasses DG | Ring CrushFeliz Cinco de Mayo!
I am glad I am posting this festive print wrap dress today. It is a reprint from DVF’s vintage collection and her name is Jilda. Green and navy have been my favorite colors lately so I am glad I found a dress that combined both colors in a fun pattern. I don’t understand the meaning of the “Y” on the dress, but it also reminded me of someone throwing their hands in the air. I think that is appropriate today since it is meant to be a day to celebrate. If only my panda necklace had its arms in the air…
Speaking of celebration, I made some yummy Margarita cupcakes for today. I will have to post the recipe once my 40 Days of DVF blog series is over. I plan to share a photo via Instagram later today, so be sure to check it out. 
Hope you are enjoying the series so far and stay tuned for Day 6.Brandy| BLOGLOVIN | FACEBOOK |  INSTAGRAM |TUMBLR | TWITTER |
