OOTD: Keeping it Classy


OOTD: Keeping it Classy 
This is my idea of business professional... Not your typical pant suit but that is just not the way I do things. 

I paired my "Gatsby" dress with a simple black blazer. The dress has a 1920s vibe which of course I am obsessed with it. {Let's be honest who doesn't want to be a flapper?} Adding the blazer I made the dress more professional more structured. 

No outfit is complete without a statement necklace of course. This necklace is bold with black stones along with other accent colors. 

Other accessories included my favorite bangles and pearl studs. On my feet I wore simple black flats with beading details. 

Who said business professional had to be boring? You can achieve this look by pairing a fun dress with a blazer. It instantly makes you look more professional and put together. Just be sure to have a long enough dress on. {No body wants to say your booty!}

OOTD: Melting Pot Dinner

My friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a lovely dinner at the Melting Pot. For those of you who don't know what the melting pot is it is a fondue restaurant (which is amazingly yummy). Our birthday's are not far a part so we picked a day kind of in the middle of our birthdays!

The day we went was the day of the Chicago Blackhawks game. Of course us being from Chicago we probably should be shunned for missing the main part of the game. However we walked in after dinner and saw the last minuetes of the game and they won! It was a perfect end to a perfect evening.

The Outfit: I wore this black drop waist dress that is super simple. It had that 1920's vibe which I am all about because the Great Gatsby just made me want to become a flapper. I also want to add this dress was only $10 at H&M. So, I highly recommend going to your H&M when they have a sale because you get great deals! Then I paired it with this hot pink statement necklace and my neon wedges to add some color to the look.

The Arm Candy: This is my typical stack of the moment. If I am wearing pink I always wear my Kate Spade bangle! 

Where it's from: 
Dress: H&M 
Necklace: Target

Bracelets: Kate Spade, Alex and Ani, and Henri Bendel
