Sophie & Trey Floral Embroidery Shift Dress: #OOTD or #WIW
Finding the right style of dress is truly a gem. The process can take hours or days of unlimited searching. We all keep a running list of stores that suit our individual style needs.
Sophie & Trey is the latest online boutique that offers a diverse range of women’s dresses. The boutique has cute rompers and maxi dresses.
I received the Floral Embroidery Shift Dress in the mail. In my opinion, it’s the perfect summer dress because the fabric is light-weight with a fitted top. This dress is also forgiving because it’s not fitted to the waist or hip area.
Visit Sophie & Trey to view their 2018 Summer Collection and find your perfect dress!

Let Ann Taylor Upgrade Your Spring Wardrobe with Embroidery
Soon, it will be time to kiss the winter blues goodbye and welcome the warm embrace of spring, along with all of the stylish new trends for the season!
From the perfect pair of shoes to ultra-feminine tops, Ann Taylor has everything that you need to upgrade your wardrobe with fashion’s common thread for the Spring season – embroidery. Adding bursts of color and irresistibly intricate details, embroidery is the perfect way to give your closet a chic upgrade.
How To Mix & Match: Find the Perfect Outfit
Finding the right color for your outfit is no easy task. You have probably read a thousand articles online telling you what works which makes it even harder for you to get the best results out of your wardrobe.
Use a Color Wheel
A lot of people talk about colors that compliment each other, which may lead you to believe that you should use colors that are similar to one another. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Black and white for example are actually classed as being complementary colors. This is why they look so great together and as they say, opposites do have a tendency to attract. Every color out there has a color that compliments and for this reason, you may want to try to use a color wheel. When using a color wheel you will quickly see the colors that work well and this is a great way for you to spice up your outfit.
Get Inspiration Online
You may find a top and jeans that you like as well. The problem is that when you put these items together, you may find they just don’t work. If you want to avoid all of this then it helps to look at the clothes that models are wearing. This will help you to know what style they are utilizing so that you can then apply it to your own wardrobe. Buying full outfits online is a great way to know if something is going to work and you would be surprised at how easy it is for you to get a deal online. If you don’t want to buy online because you are worried that the clothes won’t fit, simply go to stitch it and they can alter it for you.
Black and White is Your Friend
Neutral colors can really go a long way. If you want to mix colors but you are not sure if it is going to work then black and white is a brilliant way for you to stay safe. If you don’t want to go black and white then consider opting for colors such as white with beige or even grey. It does help to opt for colors such as brown as well, as this will help you to stay neutral while also making a very strong fashion statement. Long coats in beige or grey are also great and this is especially the case when you pair them with jeans and even some black boots as well.
So it isn’t easy to find the perfect wardrobe, but shopping for you and not for trends, you can be sure to find something that makes you feel more confident. Remember that jeans can work with just about anything and that black pants can work with nearly every single top out there. If you want to branch out, use the above tips and even use a color wheel as well.

Sophisticated Socks from DeadSoxy and Street Style | #StaySoxy
Socks are considered the most under-stated fashion accessory. They’re normally tucked away in a hidden department next to the hosiery!
In the last few years, socks have made a huge comeback! They can be found in an array of designs and styles. For example, invisible socks can be worn with dress shoes and crew socks are for sporting activities.
DeadSoxy is an innovative shoe company that specializes in superior high quality socks. Here’s why their socks are so amazing:
- The Feel: Uber-soft, high-end yarn enables a cool and dry environment for your feet and means no shrinking
- The Look: Superior dyes keep socks from fading and the distinct patterns give your outfit an extra dose of style
- The Design: Engineered in a U.S. knitting mill to create a unique technical design that no other sock on the market has
- The Magic: These technical specifications keep our socks, whether crew or no-show, from slipping or falling; so you get a comfortable wear & put-together look ALL day
- The Deal: They are THE ONLY company ever to offer a money back guarantee if they slip off your foot.
Product Review:
DeadSoxy shipped a pair of invisible and crew socks. Upon opening the package I was skeptical but the quality of the socks speaks for themselves. Each pair had a unique design and fit nicely on my feet.
I like to wear high heels for various events but often leave with sore feet. By wearing a pair of crew (or invisible) socks this eliminated that issue. The Steele Woman sock is stated to match your fun personality and I actually like that mindset!
DeadSoxy has both men, women, and youth socks along with sophisticated accessories such as colored shoestrings.
Also, quick side note: if you’re searching for a bulk order of groomsmen socks, the company provides personalized packaging.

Everyday Style and Goal Setting: #OOTD OR #WIW
Recently, I have shared several Instagram photos wearing a blanket scarf and coordinating accessories. Primarily because it’s very cold and blanket scarfs are a quick option to add a touch of chic to any outfit.
They’re inexpensive and layer over sweaters, button-down shirts, and cute dresses. I’ve also struggled with keeping my head warm and will quickly grab a leather hat.
Aside from the brisk weather we are embarking upon the New Year. This is the perfect time to re-evaluate goals, aspirations, and relationships whether it’s family or friends.
I have started to map out the direction of my personal and professional objectives. A few of my goals are volunteering and implementing new elements to my business.
I like to take goal setting a step forward by purchasing organizational tools that will keep me on track. What are your goals for the upcoming year? How do you re-evaluate and make changes?
