Feminine Florals

Happy Easter to you all!!!

This day is very special to me (as I'm sure it is to all Christians).  It is also special to me from a fashion aspect.  Easter is a main indicator of the warmer weather to come.  It's the first holiday of Spring and we signify this by dressing in pastels and floral prints. 

something old - The high waisted pencil skirt and floral peplum shirt are both thrifted pieces that were under $5.00.  The shirt was actually gifted to me by my very best friend.  I love the very early 90s, unique print of it.  I also decided to leave the shoulder pads.

Placing the shirt inside the skirt presented another style option.  I think this look is bit more polished, and sometimes that just works.

Which do you prefer??

Memphis Fashion Week Outfit Recap (What I Wore) - Day 2

Words can not describe how perfect this venue was for the shows on Night two.  Nothing better to accompany the frigid temps outside than a log cabin with fireplace located in the center of the Memphis Zoo at the Teton Trek. 

I wanted to glam up my look for the night, so I wore diamond accessories with a very bright red, bold lip (c/o MAC Rih Rih Woo).  Dressing warmly was also a must with temps dipping low into the 30s, I wore my vintage fur coats, leather over the knee boots as well as my leather skirt.

Memphis Fashion Week Outfit Recap - Day 1

This week I had the pleasure of volunteering during Memphis Fashion Week.   This year's fashion event is the city's fourth installment of the celebrating local and regional fashion designers and style.

I was only able to attend two nights, so styling my looks weren't hard at all...well until the freezing temps and snow flurries rolled into town, so I definitely had to improvise and wear heavy clothing.  I also had to take into account that I would be on my feet most of the night assisting, so I wanted to be comfy.  Staying try to my very own style aesthetic was very important to me.  So I wore my favorite pieces: such as my felt hat and my cute little fur vest.

Pictured above is a snapshot of my cousin and I.  I was so surprised to see her out, but I should have known she would be there covering the event on her entertainment blog. 

Pictured below are some of my favorite looks from the evening.  All designs are those from the various emerging designers.
