Hi lovelies, happy Wednesday! I hope that you are all having a great week so far and are as happy as I am that we are one step closer to the weekend! I feel like everyone around me is sick lately and I’m doing my best not to get it and loading up on the Airborne these days, though to be honest, I’m not even sure that stuff works. But it can’t hurt, right? That plus plenty of water- the past few weeks I’ve been working on drinking at least 2 liters a day and so far, so good.
I’m so glad that you guys like the new Fashion and Parties pages. While putting my fashion page together, I realized something… I do the same pose in practically every picture. Apparently I have a signature pose that I showcase for you each and every week- but now that I’ve noticed it I’ll try to change it up a bit! My outfit below is a current favorite of mine. I got the dress one evening at a store I rarely shop at– H&M. I know some people have tons of luck there but for me it’s always a hit or miss. Luckily, it was a hit that night. What it’s hard to see in the picture is that the dress actually has a zipper all the way down the front which spices it up a bit. I decided to add the bow belt in a coordinating slate shade for a little interest and to define my waist a bit. And because it’s definitely a busy dress, kept it simple and classic with jewelry.

Dress: H&M, Belt: H&M, Tights: Unknown, Shoes: Target, Necklace: Gift to myself in Paris, Bracelet: Forever21

Questions:
-Would you wear a bow belt?
-What stores are hit or miss for you?


That ALWAYS happens to me at H&M!! And a lot of times I’ll take a ton of stuff back to the dressing room that I love on the hanger but hate once I actually try it on. Why is that??? Anyway, you look great and I would definitely wear a bow belt
Sadly, we do not have a H&M anywhere near us. My hit or miss stores are Forever 21 and then local boutiques … I think they have different buyers!
You look awesome in that bow belt! I’m not sure I could pull it off because I have such a young face and working with older gentlemen, well, I need them to think I’m older
i’ve been looking for a cute gold bow belt but haven’t found one yet. that tory burch one is swoon worthy but not in my price range right now….
i totally agree about h&m. i haven’t found anything i love since they opened the sf one way back when…… 2L of water! go you!
You look too cute! I feel ya on H&M being a hit or miss store. The first time I went I felt like everything was kind of plain, and the second I couldn’t decide on what to purchase!
In other news, when are you going to become my personal shopper?
This is an adorable, yet chic look! Love it! And yes, I’d most definitely wear a bow belt. I used to be scared of belts, but now I own quite a few, in a variety of fun colors! They’re such an easy way to jazz up an outfit!
H&M is always a hit or miss for me as well. It seems like each piece of clothing is sized differently! However, when I’m looking for a trendy outfit that I don’t want to drop a lot of money on, it’s one of the first places I look.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Emily! <3 xoxo
