Black Shirt Dress + Fashion Link Up


Happy Memorial Day everybody! I have a 3 day weekend so I a super excited. Hope you guys are able to spend the day enjoying, celebrating, and in remembrance.

I love this black shirt dress. It's just easy to throw on and can be so simply dressed up or dressed down. I got it from Old Navy is was on sale for like $13 because someone returned it from an online purchase. When I picked it up I noticed that is was a medium (which is definitely not my size) but it is a maternity dress so I thought I would try it on and see if it would fit and low and behold I loved the fit and who would know. Well now you do cause I told you, but you know what I mean. LOL

It's My Blogiversary + Mahogany Closet Mondays Fashion Link Up




If you read my first post, then you know the inspiration for me finally starting this blog was the death of my mom last August. One of the biggest lessons her sudden passing taught me is that we are not promised tomorrow and the perfect time to go after your dreams and start working towards accomplishing your goals is NOW. I only wish she was able to see it  because I know she would be so proud and love it. I thought the best way to celebrate is with a recap of some of my favorite outfits of the last six months. If you click on any of the pictures it will link to the original post. What's your favorite outfit? I would love to hear what you think!

 Fashion and Cookies is one of my favorite blogs. I love the way Vale puts together outfits. Her style is amazing. This is mixing prints at it's best. I don't know if I would have ever thought to put these two prints together, but they look absolutely fabulous together. If you haven't check out her blog yet, you really should!
 
This dress is so gorgeous! The colors are beautiful and and it fits Moumous perfectly. And it was just recently her birthday so make sure you stop by and wish her a happy birthday!

Mahogany Closet Monday Fashion Link Up + Blue Tie Dye Maxi Dress

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

I want to wish all the mothers a happy Mother's Day. I know Mother's Day was yesterday, but I think we should be celebrated everyday anyway! :-) Hope you guys had a great day! I had a really great and simple day. It was also my first Mother's Day since my mom passed last August. The interesting thing is that I thought about it leading up to the day and was worried about how I would do, but the weight of it didn't actually hit me that day.  I didn't want to be a ball of tears all days, and I am thankful that that wasn't the case. Having reached that milestone I think I want to do more next year to actually celebrate her. And if all of that was enough today is my daughter 10th birthday. Her first double digits. Since her birthday is so close, I often spend Mother's Day weekend throwing a celebration for her. This year I will be taking cupcakes to her school today and having a little family celebration at the house and then I will take her and friends out to celebrate next weekend. So this way we both got to celebrate our days. :-)

About the outfit 

I said I was going to be all about the maxis this spring/summer and you see I wasn't playing. There was the striped one I wore here, the black one I wore here and the orange one I wore here. Yeah, I know, I know, I may seem a little obsessed. LOL This dress was from the online clothing boutique that I used to have. I had it for years, loved the dress but it took me a little while to figure out the right shapewear situation to wear under to make it work since it is so fitted. I still have a bunch of clothes left from my online clothing boutique days, I need to have some kind of liquidation sale. Well check out the pictures and let me know what you think.

Featured Fashionistas from last week's link up...

Because there were so many amazing outfits linked up and to kind of make up for not having Featured Fashionistas a couple times, this week I have 6 great Featured Fashionistas instead of the normal 2. The funny thing it was even hard to narrow it down to 6 because there was so many great looks last week! If you link on the name that leads you to their main blog page, clicking the image leads you to that specific blog post. Thank you again to everyone that linked up!

Love everything about this look. Beautiful classic black dress, gorgeous shoes, and I am so smitten buy that bag!! 

Shauna just has such amazing style in general. Week after week she produces just amazing looks and this one is no different. Love how cute and comfortable that shift dress looks and those shoes!!! I am a sucker for fringe and loving those shoes 

I love a caftan. It is just so easy, cute and comfortable. Definitely one of my favorite throw on looks. So I am so in love this super simply and easy DIY by Riva. Click on the picture to link to this specific project.

This skirt outfit is already so lovely on it's own, but the mommy and me cuteness is just too adorable.

Loving this stripes and polka dot look plus the added detail at the neck line. So cute!

Karen is rocking this cute and classic outfit. Love the pop of color and that clutch is so adorable!
