The Day After Christmas

 Black Bodysuit// Embroidered Skirt// Over the Knee Boots (similar) // Kate Spade Carli (similar) 

Happy Monday everyone! I know, I know. You all were probably thinking I went to the "upper room" or got kidnapped or something, but none of that's true. I'm back! I just needed an extended break from social media and prolonged writing since finishing up my semester of graduates school. I actually ended up finishing this semester with all A's. In the past, I've always done my best in school when I'm extra busy. When I have extra time on my hands, I tend to lose my motivation to do my best in my studies. 

I hope you all are having a joyful time with your loved ones. I've been busy visiting family and friends since being on vacation from work/ school. I did some shopping, but nothing major. I window shopped for myself more than anything. I was able to pick up some great Christmas gifts for my family (post coming soon). 

But now to the main reason you clicked on this post! This is actually the outfit I wore on Christmas day. On Christmas morning, we fixed breakfast, opened presents, and then went to church. After church, we all gathered at my grandparents home to have our annual Christmas dinner. There was so much food: Macaroni and cheese, roast beef smothered in beer, collard greens, yams, hams, and just about every sweet you can think of!:) My favorite thing about Christmas is being around all my loved ones while thinking about how marvelous God is to bring His only son to seek and save lost souls.

About this outfit!;) I actually purchased it all from online stores. The black bodysuit was purchased from ASOS and it's by Boohoo. I ordered the size 2 (or small). My skirt is Goodnight Macaroon, and I'm wearing a small. My dark taupe boots are no other than my Joie Jemina over the knee boots. I think they are 60% off now. They go with just about every outfit. My purse is Kate Spade Cedar Street Cali in the color black., which I got on sale.

I hope everyone has a great rest of their week, and continue to rejoice in the fact that because He lives you (we) can face tomorrow! Hebrews 7:24:)

Holiday Parties

Red Coat// Multi-Print Sweater Dress (Mines Sold Out: Belk)// Black Booties// 

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great day! My day went by so fast! I went to bed last night at around 2AM and then I woke up at 5:45AM so I could be at work by 7:30AM. I spend my whole afternoon working on my graduate finals. Random Question: Am I the only person who dreams about projects and papers they've written right before they go to bed? I know. It's so BIZZARE!lol. But I'll finish an assignment, and then dream about what else I could've, should've added!

Now to this cute sweater dress! Even though I'm always doing some type of work, I do find time to have fun!lol. The other night, I went to a Christmas Dinner where there was a fish fry (the food was prepared in one room, and everyone else was in the other, so no we didn't leave smelling like seafood.lol). Anways, I decided to wear this cute sweater dress that I purchased from Belk at Haywood Mall in Greenville, SC. I'm not sure if there are anymore of these dresses in stock at the department stores, but when I looked online it was no longer listed. I paired this dress with black pantyhose, black booties, a black bag, and a bright red coat. The coat I linked is actually the Merlot shade, but in the stores there's bright red shades just like mines!:)

Let me know what Holiday plans you have in store for this month!

Burberry and Chloe' Dupes

White Blouse// Topshop Jeans// Black Booties// Plaid Scarf//Chloe' Marcie Bag// Similar

Happy Thursday! I hope everyone had a beautiful day! I woke up super earlier than usual to finish my graduates portfolio for one of my courses finals. I eventually finished, but was left with a terrible headache. I usually take Excedrin, but the caffeine in it makes me feel so nervous. Hopefully I can find something else to knock out these headaches. Maybe some natural remedies? If you know any, please let me know!;)

I love this little number I put together. I think it's so simple, but super flattering. It's an out fit that anyone could pull off. I paired my Express Portofino blouse with my Burberry dupe scarf. My black jeans are Topshop, but I was able to snatch them for only $18.95 one day at Nordstrom Rack in Greenville, SC. It was so strange because I've never seen Topshop jeans that cheap before. I went back the next day to see if I could find my cousin a pair, and they were all gone. My black booties are from Belk and they are about four inches tall. When wearing them, I don't realize how high up I am because they aren't hard to walk in. I'm usually a size 7, but I purchased them in a size 6.5 because they felt so loose in the 7. 

Now to my Chloe' Marcie dupe! I received this bag from one of my aunts for my birthday a few weeks ago. She wouldn't tell me where she purchased it, but I'm thinking either Belk, Dillard's or Macy's. It's a nice taupe color that goes so well with several of my outfits. If you know me, then you know I'm a sucker for cute little crossbody bags!:)

Let me know if you like seeing dupes of your favorite pricer brands!
