Olive Green Dress

Posted on October 3, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Olive Green Strapless Tolara Dress Diane von Furstenberg (here) | Brown Signature Print Messenger Bag and Wedges Coach (Bag here) | Peacock Necklace Forever 21 | Belt H&MI dressed so inappropriately for the first day of October (which was why there was no post)!
I wore a long-sleeve t-shirt and jeans on Monday, and was a sweaty mess by the end of the day because of the unexpected heat wave. I dressed a little more prepared for the weather today, and look like I don’t belong in a cubicle. I belong in a tropical resort, or in the dessert (like in Vegas). All I would need is a floppy hat to really complete the look.
The belt I choose this time almost matches my skin perfectly. It look like I was showing some serious skin. For a strapless dress without boning (or a corset top) wearing a belt also provides support and keeps the dress up. Another modification from the last time I wore this dress was tucking in the piece of fabric on top and wearing my peacock necklace. Almost looks like it is a part of the dress.
A green dress like this cannot go wrong with dark browns and navy accessories.

Green Summer Dress

Posted on October 1, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Green and White Striped Halter Dress Alice + Olivia | Beige Belt via Crossroads Trading Co. | Flats Steve Madden | Bag Unknown | Turtle Ring Full TiltFortunate to have some summer weather this weekend!
Luckily I still have not packed away my summer dresses away yet, and this particular halter dress had been in my closet for awhile, unworn (and still new with tags).
I paired it with my white flats, and to give my body some shape I added the beige belt. The tote completed the look, and even though I went grocery shopping, I look like I could easily fit into a crowd at farmer’s market. That, or going to a picnic!

Japanese Charm Necklace

Posted on September 28, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Yellow Blazer Fendi | Black Bandage Skirt and Charm Necklace Forever 21 | White T-Shirt Rave | Ulltra Black Patent Pumps Steve MaddenI feel like a bumble bee in the trees!
I was inspired by a bumble bee (clearly) with the yellow, black, and white. I also felt like the blazer needed something to compliment it. Then came this necklace that is inspired by Japanese culture. I have yet to wear this necklace, but already it is one of my favorites! Next time I must pair it with my red obi style belt and a black dress!
Black and white make a perfect base to add a pop of color, which is why the blazer works well with this outfit. I like how I wore it in this photo and with another black and white pairing here. Same location for the photo too!

Feathers

Posted on September 26, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Cream Blazer Silence+Noise | Feather Hair Clip, White Sweater Top, and Enamel Bangles Forever 21 | Cream Silk Fringe Postage Stamp Skirt Diane Von Furstenberg | Cream Heaven Flats Steve Madden
A complete 180 from yesterday’s all-black outfit.
The feather skirt is actually silk chiffon fringed by hand to resemble feathers. Despite the fact that it was not made from real feathers, I was shedding throughout the day (nooooo). Although I want to keep this skirt intact, if I wear it again anythime soon, I would pair the cream with black details for some contrast.
Hope you like my monochrome outfit!

Leopard Wrap Dress

Posted on September 12, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Leopard Print Dress Diane von Furstenberg | Black Patent Pumps Steve Madden | Panda Charm Necklace Betsey Johnson | Ring Forever 21One of my favorite looks for the office has got to be wearing a wrap dress. It is very classy with its iconic silhouette, but still fashion-forward and edgy with the bright, colored pattern. This green and blue leopard print wrap dress is from DVF’s vintage collection. Love the french cuffs on this dress. Despite feeling a little under the weather, this dress helps me look my best.

Little White Dress

Posted on September 11, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Turquoise Cardigan Audrey Grace | White Polka Dot Dress Alice + Olivia | Mint and Pink Bangles Forever 21 | Pink Ballet Patent Flats Steve Madden
A white dress is a must have to own. Everyone talks about the little black dress, but come summertime the little white dress is just as important.
As you can see, it acts as the perfect base for my pastel colors. Nothing seems to match at first glance, but the bangles ties the other pieces together.
Simple way of reusing pieces in your wardrobe, as seen before here, and getting a new look with a white dress. What would you wear with your little white dress?
