my life lately+ ootd

Wow talk about not posting for a long time. It has really been way to long since I have posted on my blog. But don't worry I have an explanation for all of you. I have honestly been insanely busy, school has been super busy, along with dance. I have dance nearly everyday until super late at night, which doesn't work very well for a blogger needing to take outfit pictures. I also recently made my high school drill team which has already been super busy. I honestly have missed blogging so much, it is something I love to do, and it is so much fun for me. I am so excited to get back into blogging and be a lot more consistent. As summer is getting closer dance is coming to an end I am going to start having a lot more time for blogging. I am so excited to be back and start posting again.

I'm loving the simplicity of this outfit. It is such and easy outfit to wear and it is super comfy. Striped shirts are something I love, and they have been on repeat a lot lately. Black and white stripes paired with olive green is something I have been really loving lately. I am also obsessing with the rock/geode jewelery trend, I got this necklace a few weeks ago at the bijou market and I am loving it. The fun aqua color can be paired with anything, and is super unique.

I am honestly so happy to be blogging again and I can't wait for some fun upcoming posts. You can be looking forward to some guest posts, and some features. Thank you so much for sticking with me while I take a little break.

Eshakti ||Little Black Dress

A few weeks ago Eshakti contacted me wanting to do a collaboration for my blog. I was very excited because I love working with different companies, I was especially excited for this collaboration because I had never heard of their company before. Eshakti has amazing clothes that are amazing quality. One thing that stood out for me about Eshakti was that they can customize the clothing to fit you or your personal preference on style. When I am shopping I always run into the problem of wishing the sleeves were longer, the neck line was different, or just wishing it fit me perfectly.

The process of placing my order was super simple and went very smooth. I chose this gorgeous little black dress, I loved the dress so much but I wanted to customize it a little bit. The dress was originally a capped sleeve but I wanted to do something a little different, with their easy customization process I chose a short sleeve, the dress was also originally above the knee (their mini length) but I wanted to go for the knee length style because I am totally loving that look right now. You can also customize your piece to your measurements which I love because at times dresses can be way to long on me and I feel like it makes me look shorter than I am.

 

Dress: Eshakti c/o Earrings; Icing Shoes: Steve Madden via Nordstroms Watch: Anna Klein via Nordstroms Bracelets: Jcrew

Wearing this dress totally makes me feel like Audrey Hepburn, and I absolutely love it! This dress is so comfortable which I love, but it is also really dressy and can totally be worn to an event or to church. I love the leather detailing on the bodice because it adds a slight edge to this ever so girly dress. My favorite part of the entire dress may just be the pockets, I (as are most girls) am a sucker for any dress that has pockets! When accessorizing this gorgeous piece I didn't want to add a necklace because I didn't want to distract from the gorgeous top on this dress, I did go with some fun gold stud earrings, and some of my favorite layering bracelets.

Overall I am very impressed with my dress from Eshakti. My dress fits perfectly and is amazing quality! I can tell this is going to be a staple piece in my closet.

Eshakti was so kind and they are giving all my readers 10% off their Eshakti purchase! All you have to do is type the code 'myfashionfolder' into the promotional code box. I hope you all take advantage of this offer because there are so many things from Eshakti that I loved. Happy Shopping!

I hope you all have an amazing Sunday!

Rebekah Katherine Collab

Today I am so excited to bring you two outfits styling Rebekah Katherines t-shirts. These shirts are made out of the softest material and are so comfortable. The shirts are so versatile and can really be styled anyway. I love dressing up a simple graphic tee, or wearing it in a super comfy casual way.

This look is one that I really love. I went with this gorgeous plaid skirt, that has fun zippers that add a little bit of edge. This shirt from Rebekah Katherine is so fun with the playful 'Dance it Out' design. To keep warm I added my favorite leather jacket, this jacket has some zipper detail that is just so edgy. I love adding edgy pieces when I'm wearing a dressier outfit.

This look is definitely an edgier look. I went with an all black look, and a red flannel tied around my waist. The all black look is such an edgy trend that I just love. This 'Be Lovely' shirt is so girly so I wanted to go with some edgier styling.

Look #1

Top: Rebekah Katherine c/o// Skirt: GAP// Jacket: Forever 21// Necklace: Dainty Pear c/o

Look #2

Top: Rebekah Katherine c/o// Jeans: American Eagle// Flannel: Called to Surf// Necklace; Dainty Pear c/o

These shirts are so cute and I am so obsessed with mine. Rebekah was kind enough to offer my readers 30%  off  their purchase, to get this deal you need to use the code SAVE30. These shirts would be an amazing Christmas gift for anyone and with this code you can get them for such an amazing price! I hope you guys take advantage of this deal because these are the best shirts.

Getting in the Christmas Spirit

Today I was really in the Christmas/holiday spirit. Every year my family gets a real Christmas tree, and today was the day we went and got it. After getting the tree we went to the cutest garden store that always has the cutest decor for the holidays. Today when I went I brought my camera and found the cutest places to take pictures around the store.

Top: Called to Surf// Cardigan: GAP// Jeans: Nordtroms// Boots: Forever Young Shoes (similar here)

This look today may be one of my favorite subtle Christmas outfits. I love this sweater that I got at GAP on Black Friday. (the whole store was 50% off!!) The cardigan has a hot pink color in the knitting that is not a Christmas color but the pattern of the sweater makes it look a bit more Christmasy. (is that a word?) When I was picking out a top to go with this gorgeous cardigan I chose this pale pink shirt that is ever so comfy. I really liked the way the light pink looked with the brighter pink, it gave the look a bit of a monochromatic feel. I wanted to keep my pants simple for this look so I went with my favorite pair of Paige Denim jeans. For shoes I chose my favorite pair of moccasins that can truly go with anything.

I hope you all are having a good December and are having a good time preparing for the upcoming holidays and parties.

Black Crochet & Black Leather

///Top// Called To Surf/// Pants// Nordstroms (old)/// Jacket// Nordstroms/// Shoes// Nordstroms/// Belt// Jcrew (old)/// Necklace// Charlotte Ruse (Gift)(sold out online)///

Until I got this top I was one of those people who just did not like wearing black, but this top has truly converted me (to the dark side, lol) One way I love wearing this girly crochet top is with my favorite pair of Army Green Pants that have the cutest zipper detailing, to add a bit of bling I paired it with a gold metallic belt from Jcrew, my booties I wore with this outfit just screamed fall and I love it, to finish off the outfit I put on my Queen Bee necklace that my friend got me (that's her along with others nickname for me) it was a little bit chilly this day so I went and added a leather jacket that had some fun fuzzy paneling on the front, this outfit truly just screamed fall for me.

I want to start off this post by saying how much I love blogging and how much I love this blog (it is sort of like my baby lol). Fashion is so much fun for me, and when I get to share it with you guys I just absolutely love it. Something that has happened to me recently is I have gone to events and people have recognized me and know who I am, not just fashion or blogger events but when I'm shopping and just out and about, like really this is the coolest thing for me and I absolutely love it! I adore when I get to meet people who read my blog because it makes seem real and like people actually are reading what I have to say and they are liking it! Anyways Thank you all so much for reading and following my blog and fashion journey!

stripes on repeat

Top (surprise it's actually a dress)// Skirt (old, similar here)// Jacket// Shoes (sold out in this color)//

This look has been one of my go-to's for the transition into fall. A trick I recently came about is to tuck your shorter summer dresses into skirts for a cute new shirt, genius right? This is a super cute t-shirt dress that I loved in the summer (I'm still wearing it into the fall) but it is a little short for our colder fall months, so I threw on a super cute black skater skirt and it totally just changed the look of the dress. It was a little cold this morning and later in the evening so I threw on my favorite fall jacket, I love the look of mixing the stripes with camouflage of the jacket. When it does get a little bit colder later in the year you could totally put on a fun pair of tights or high socks and you will be good!
