Green Shirt Dress

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Green Leaf Print Shirt Dress Diane von Furstenberg | Jean Jacket Heritage 1981, | Cream  Bow Espadrilles Wedges Wet Seal | Moving Turtle Ring Full Tilt Here is my Tuesday Outfit! 
Today I was inspired by my green shirt dress. I wanted my relaxed, weekend look to carry over to work, and I picked this easy, work-appropriate dress. The skirt hits well below the knee and is long sleeved. Pairing it with my cropped jean jacket and wedges helped give the appearance that I looked taller. 
This dress is interesting because halfway it has the option to wrap the top around your waist. My midriff could be showing, but because I was wearing it to work, I opted against that option. I love the large leaf print and the full skirt.  I felt very bohemian chic because of how easy the look was to put together and pull off. I could see myself wearing the dress again for the weekend, going to a flea market, or even to a picnic.

Labor Day

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Cream Cardigan Wet Seal | Flower Print Dress Liberty of London for Target | Flats and Bangles Forever 21 | White Leather Cross Body Bag CoachImagine me going to a Bar-B-Que, going to a picnic, flying a kite in a park on my day off.
Because the reality is I spent most of my day cleaning and napping. I managed to squeeze some workouts today. I went for a run this morning, and during the afternoon as I went out to go take my blog photos, I stumbled upon a block party. A live band was playing and I stopped by and did some dancing after I took some photos. Kind of random, but goes along with my free-flowing dress.

Hope you had a nice Labor Day Weekend.

Nautical Print Scarf

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Navy Cardigan Diane Von Furstenberg (here) | White Shorts Old Navy | Nautical Print Scarf Vintage | Navy Striped Flats  Purchased in ParisLabor Day weekend! I am so excited to have a day off work on Monday!
This holiday of course led to the inspiration of my outfit. I built my outfit around the silk scarf I found at Crossroads Trading Co. It has a fun striped print that matches my flats, but also has some cute rope detail. It’s a nice pop of color against an all white outfit and the cardigan is a nice layering piece that works with the colors and can keep you warm as the afternoon gets cooler.

 Hope you are enjoying your Sunday and, if you have a day off tomorrow, your three day weekend!

Cropped Jacket

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Cropped Grey Military Jacket and Bronze Wing Cuff Bracelet Forever 21 | Cream Dress Aryn. K | Gold Metallic Peep Toe Flats Christian LouboutinThis dress was made to dance and twirl around in as you can see from my photos.
I have moved into a bigger cubicle and am attempting to make the space my own. Until pay day comes around though I am dressing myself cute to decorate the place with my clothes. It is nice to have enough room at the moment to be able to spin around and clear my mind. 
I am really enjoying the warm weather, and excited for my weekend! I’ll be attending the first Cal game (and grand reopening) at the newly retrofitted California Memorial Stadium so stay tuned for a post on that.

Anna Sui x Target Peasant Top

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Raspberry Pink Cardigan Forever 21 | Purple Print Peasant Top Anna Sui for Target (here) | Jeans 7 for all Mankind | White Flats Steve MaddenI have classes on Wednesdays night, and to avoid looking too dressed-up I opted for a laid-back, college student outfit. 
It is funny to me to be going back to school and being surrounded by a variety of people. Some have just graduated high school, while others are lifelong learners. Since the class is so late (and chilly because of the A/C being on), I need to dress slightly warm (or in layers.) Such a bummer since I am used to dressing girly on Wednesdays. 
The colors on this outfit have a girly feel and so does the peasant top. I feel this look not only works for class, but also for hanging out at home watching a movie, shopping, or going to brunch with girlfriends.
On a side note, this top is also a find from Crossroads Trading Co, and I will be so happy if I find more Anna Sui items there! I just love how eclectic and quirky the items are!

Coral and Turquoise Print

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Cream Blazer Silence + Noise | Printed Silk Sleeveless Peggie Dress Diane Von Furstenberg | Belt VintageI | Mint Earrings Forever 21| Nude Patent Ulltra Pumps Steve MaddenI have worn this lovely little dress before when I was in Vegas (seen here). As you can see I made a few minor adjustments to be able to wear it to work. It was surprisingly warm today, and I felt I was dressed appropriately while out running errands in the sun. 
This dress is very versatile and I like that it can be worn dressed down with flats or dressed up with a blazer and pumps. The print on the dress reminds me of fireworks in the summer. The blend of turquoise, red, and beige really emphasize being at beach bonfire at the end of summer and watching the fireworks illuminate the sky. 
Despite the start of the summer weather, it is quickly coming to an end.
