OOTN: Western Chic, Yee-Haw!

Honestly what's more fun than a themed party. I haven't been to many but all of the ones I have been have been a time to remember!!

A good friend of mines graduated from UCLA and had a Western themed graduation party. Sounds like fun, right? Of course passing up the fun was totally out of the question. Plus, I haven't seen my friend in so long.

To be honest, I've never been to a western themed party but I have seen some western movies. Clearly, that's my guide. Of course there are the essentials, cowboy boots and hat. I used to have the boots. Smart move, Britt *side eye to myself*. Now hats, I never thought about getting one. I didn't plan on spending much money either.

Shorts were a must. The heat was not going to get the best of me by wearing jeans . I also had booties that I knew would something off. Lately I've caught myself wearing thin headbands and since I couldn't get a hat, I thought that would be a good alternative especially with the long hair. I called it my "Cowboy-Indian" look, LOL. Lastly, my shirt. Remember I told you about me going crazy insane at the H&M clearance sale. I thank the sale for pulling off the entire look !!

Shirt & Headband: H&M (Clearance)

Shoes: Target (Old)

Shorts: Old Navy

OOTD: Times Three

I don't know why but when I dress and feel I look older or more mature, I'm at my best. I'm not even sure where I get that from. Not to diss myself though of course. This past weekend I was too much, LOL.

I went to a convention with my family. Being a religious event, there's a certain way to dress. You know how I get when I'm under pressure by now. I feel there is nothing to save me. I've been working so much I really didn't even take the time to think about it. Not to mention that's three outfits. It was very real!

It all started on Friday. All I wanted was comfort. I just threw pieces together and said 'there it is'. Easy Peezy Lemon Squeezy!

I was probably more worried about my hair. SWEAT was my worse enemy for the entire weekend. I would a good job then all of a sudden I would feel sweat. I got to the point where I didn't want to even move, LOL.

All in all, it was a very wonderful weekend. Great outfits, amazing words of encouragement, and great vibes. What more is there to ask for?

Enjoy the rest of your week, Style Bunch!

OOTD: White Dress

With summer approaching, I promise every store is having an amazing sale! Want me to be specific? OK! H&M to be exact.

When I go explore my city, Los Angeles, it's clear to be comfortable and stylish at the same time. I went insane at H&M's end of the season sale (60% off, duh ! Who wouldn't go insane?). Anyways, We're had some great sun out here. So it's definitely time to bring out the dresses.

I snagged this little number at H&M (in-store) for only $15! Yes, you read that right FIFTEEN dollars! I had been searching for a short white dress. When I walked into the store and saw the dress, everything got brighter (LOL). It was a great length, very boho chic, and also has long sleeves. The sleeves are very airy and light. They are not tight either, which is wonderful!

I took a second picture because I didn't like how dark my face was in the other. Mirror picture it is! I wanted to wear sandals but honestly the way my feet are set up at this moment I probably would've hurt somebody, LOL. I paired it with a cropped denim jacket and some loafers. My hair is a result of the handy dandy curl wand!

But if you can find this dress..... GET IT!! You will not be disappointed.

Dress: H&M

Shoes: Forever 21

Denim Jacket: I don't remember (years old)

Peace and Style.

ps. There's HUGE possibility that most of my pieces for the next few posts will be from the sale. Fair warning now!

Happy ONE!!

Oh my goodness, so if you can't tell my baby turned one yesterday. June 21, 2013!! I'm so excited to be doing this for a whole year. What a comfort for me and I hope for you as well. It feels like I just started. When you're doing something you really enjoy it doesn't even phase you as to how long you've really been doing it. Who would've thought that when I was looking for something different so I wouldn't pass out from my own boredom could turn into something I love and can't stop doing.

I thank you all so very much for sticking with me and showing love on this fabulous journey.

Here's to one year and plenty more to come!! :)

Peace & Style.

FEATURE: Let Goo Dress You

So before the week was over I definitely wanted to share my excitement. I'm a little late but I'm still excited.

So last Friday I was having a moment & I noticed I haven't taken a full body picture in weeks. Clearly change was needed but that particular day the only thing that made me happy was pajamas (LOL). So I used an old picture. My white dress (you remember from the Draped in White post) ! Noticing it was Friday, I knew one of my favorite celeb stylist, GooGoo Atkins, would be doing features on her page. So I used her hashtag, #GoosFullFiguredFriday, just because it was a chance.

and Look:

I was featured on her page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You couldn't tell me nothing on that day. So with the feature on the page it's also put on her website, Let Goo Dress You. Check it out here.

I just want to thank Goo for even noticing me. She's such an inspiration to me and for her to see my picture on social media , it feels good. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you soooooooo much.
